  More Young Indoctrination

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not sure how wide spread this is, but from my social media land i saw 2 separate videos, from two halls in completely different towns featuring their kids having a demonstration on the service meeting (i am guessing last night as i didn't go).

  these kids are really young!

  maybe this was just a coincidence at first i thought it was the same video then realized theses people live hundreds of miles apart.

  I do not care for this sort of stuff. These cartoons aimed directly at children are skipping over the parent who should be the one to instruct their child. This is intrusive and detrimental to the parent's ability to teach their child in accord with the child's needs and maturity.

  It is nonsense. Today sesame street reigns at the Watchtower not just for the children but for all. Can you tell me how to get to sesame street? Yes, 124 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn NY. Goofy and Donald Duck are there also just ring the bell sit down and watch the next cartoon.

  New Light! The Evil Slave Class no longer exists!

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  quote from the watchtower, march 15, 2015, page 23:.

  in the illustration of the faithful and discreet slave, jesus spoke of an evil slave who beat his fellow slaves.

  jesus was not there foretelling that an evil slave class would arise.

  The change to no Evil Slave class was the Governing Body's Get Out of Jail Free card. No Evil Slave means there is no way the FDS, today or in the past, could be the Evil Slave.
  

  Convenient theology is the mode of the day in the Watchtower.

  Christianity: The most deceptive religion

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jesus was a jew who apparently thought he was the messiah, however, after dying, his disciples began to propagate the lie that he would return from heaven during his generation.

  but, his generation passed away, and it was clear that it was a false prophecy, then a dishonest christian wrote the second letter of peter so as to condemn those who realised that the prophecy was a fiasco.

  interestingly, and sadly, this religion survived,....why????

  I would like to state that I am a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ in association with Jehovah's Witnesses. That I believe he will return and that after his return a physical resurrection will occur and the earth will be restored from the damage done to it.

  I recognize that religion is a divisive topic on this forum and I do not intend to get into religious debates. Been there, done that. ;)

  I felt it good though to at least declare my religious beliefs in a small non-confrontational way, if that is acceptable on this thread. If not, then my apologies.

  Jehovah's Witnesses---From Walking Tall To Living In Shame

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i remember the days when jws were proud of their religion, they walked tall and carried their big stick, their bibles, proudly.

  now, it's embarrassing for a witness to admit their faith to others.

  the average witness can't explain their beliefs, as they have changed so many times.

  There was a time when we would attend District Conventions and come away with a book, books, that at least gave us food for thought. We felt we had been given meat. Today we go to Regional Conventions and come away with baby food unfit for mature consumption. But hey at least they renamed it to Regional rather than District now that is something! ;)
  

  What is it they say about lipstick on a pig? Each time I enter the JW site I remember that line: Lipstick on a pig.

  The 1919 issue

  by confused in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am not a regular visitor to this site, every now and then then i get twisted up about something i come back lol.

  i am sure this has been discussed many times so a link to another thread would be great or if someone has the patience to explain again please?

  i have read the july 15 2013 wt many times but i simply don't understand the significance of 1919 from the bible.

  Confused, the Governing Body's attempt to explain 1919 and how they got there is like an ancient temple prostitute in Babylon attempting to figure out which of her lovers fathered her child. She goes back 9 months, give or take a few weeks or days, and decides who among the several lovers she was with during that time may fit the bill.
  

  Sad to say, but that is the way it is. Pick an event, find a scripture to make is so. That's how the Governing Body explains their big belly.

  Thanks for the encouragement everyone.

  After the May broadcast I found it unconscionable to continue giving to something so false.

  It is obvious the men who are taking the lead are in actuality just paper mists being led by someone else. Who that is I do not know. But what I do know is that much damage has been done during the time they have been in charge.
  

  Thanks again for your encouragement.

  My grandniece says that Br. Sanderson reminds her of Tweedledee and Tweedledum in the 2010 Alice in Wonderland movie.

  Unkind but true.

  I agree, it is an embarrassment.

  Br. Anthony Morris apparently lives to ridicule. Herd is very busy reading the mountains of material handed to him rather than the other way around. Sanderson's plastic smile is becoming hard to look at. And so on....
  

  They like to joke well, brothers, you are a joke.

  They are as real as Caleb and Sophia. The difference is Caleb and Sophia have a heart.

  Sanderson is most definitely a Johnny Come LATEly. He's the newbie who is about to be tied to the same boat as the rest- the Titanic. Sorry about that buddy.

I am no longer giving money at conventions or assemblies. I am no longer giving money toward the circuit overseers upkeep. I am no longer giving money period. Yes, that includes the Kingdom Hall upkeep.

  I will, though, continue giving money to those in the congregation who are in need. To widows who are in financial difficulty, to brothers and sisters who have lost their job or who can only find part time work.

  My money would be better spent at the humane society than in the Watchtower organization.
