does the wt always carefully phrase sentences so as to never take blame?
by sowhatnow inim recalling a time when i sat and circled words in a watchtower article, indicating strongly the fact that it is in fact the writters opinion.. however just the suggestion in the sentence these words are ignored.. for example.
it is our understanding.
we believe this to be the case.

WEASEL WORDS................................................equivocation taken to an art form. It started with Charles Taze Russell and continues to this day.

Will the Societies tighten their grip even more with the power slipping?
by thedepressedsoul ini think its pretty clear that the gb are power hungry.
you cannot listen to the branch visit and not see clear as day that there are some of them that are loving the power.
it showed the clearest with anthony morris.. now all these sex abuse scandals and news media are taking their power away.

IF the Governing Body ever thought of doing such a thing and that is a BIG IF.................you can bet your bottom dollar that they would only procure free food, that was out of date, from grocery stores and other retail outlets. They would never, ever spend money on such a project. Then after they distributed the food they would 'pat themselves on the back' and proclaim loudly to the four corners of the earth how generous and 'christlike' they are. UGH!!!!!

Reinstatement - repentance - works - Can you explain how this is supposed to work?
by berrygerry innov 15, 2006 wt.
when requesting reinstatement, he should be able to give evidence that he has repented and is producing works that befit repentance.acts 26:20.. .
how possibly can someone "give evidence" or "produce works"?.

The disfellowshipping arrangement as it stands right now is pure MANMADE bull$hit and is not in any way, shape or form based on Biblical precedent. Read the account of the incestuous man in 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 and see that Paul said to 'remove the wicked man from among yourselves' (disfellowship). Then read the account in 2 Corinthians 2:1-11 where the Apostle Paul says to 'welcome him back so that he is not overreached by Satan'(reinstate). There is nothing stated there about 'works of repentance', meeting attendance, field service, etc. and nothing about him petitioning the Elders for reinstatement. In fact, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians were written in THE SAME YEAR,55 C.E.. So the 'brother' who had an incestuous sexual relationship with his fathers wife was disfellowshipped for LESS THAN 1 YEAR!

This could be a really great thread. Besides a Poker game,what other game could you compare life as a Jehovahs Witness to? I vote for the Russian card game, DURAK. There is only one loser in this game and it is the person left holding all the cards. The name DURAK is translated into English as FOOL.

THE TRUTH IS AN ILLUSION and here is the process which proves it.

question: what if each day a brick was removed and replaced with wood?.
the watchtower religion pretends to be like a brick wall built of truth.. however, each brick of truth been replaced with wood (changing opinion.).

I think you are being too kind, Terry. To paraphrase Thomas Szasz,.......'there is no such thing as false information, there are only LIES.'

Why isn't the story of SAMPSON quickly and clearly regarded a myth?
by Terry injudges chapter 15:.
14 when he came to lehi, the philistines shouted triumphantly at meeting him.
then jehovahs spirit empowered him,+ and the ropes on his arms became like linen threads that were scorched with fire, and his fetters melted off his hands.+ 15 he now found a fresh jawbone of a male donkey; he reached out and grabbed it and struck down 1,000 men with it.+ 16 then samson said: with the jawbone of a donkeyone heap, two heaps!

"But then, Old Testament Jehovah could be a real prick." - Terry
How true that is! Yet sometimes Jehovah could be a real sport and one hell of an understanding god. After all he let Sampson have a good 'lay' when the need arose and didn't punish him in the least. "One time Samson went to Gaza and saw a prostitute there, and he went in to her." Judges 16:1 NWT Revised 2013. Much like lying in Theocratic warfare, perhaps Jehovah allows fornication when it is for the outworking of his purpose? (Judges 14:4 NWT Revised 2013)
