  All About The Words We Used

  by dubstepped in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the time since i've left the borg behind i've had a few things hit me as to how words were used.

  i'm wondering if anyone else has some similar examples, but here are some things that have made me think:.

  watchtower - my whole life i saw this as a thing of protection from outside evil forces, and then when i left someone pointed out "isn't that what they used to keep people in prison".

  To be read by a "QUALIFIED BROTHER".

  A qualified brother is an elder who can put over lies in a very believing way!

  *** g88 11/22 p. 7 When the Battering Will Stop ***

  In England, 19th-century legislators tried to reduce the suffering of women by determining legally how large the stick could be. They devised what was known as the rule of thumb law, which allowed a man to beat his wife with a stick “no larger around than his thumb.”

  How can this possibly happen?

  I was told that, "Elders are spiritually appointed men appointed by Holy Spirit and blessed by Jehovah".

  Perhaps the Elders in Gloucestershire have got it wrong?

  Is this the paragraph you are referring to:-

  5. Why should we show a measure of honor and respect to people in general?

  5 Humans were created “in God’s image.” (Gen. 1:27) Thus, most of them exhibit some godly qualities, though to differing degrees. Humans are capable of showing one another love, kindness, and compassion. Having been created with a conscience, people normally have an inborn sense—albeit at times inaccurate or distorted—that alerts them to what is right or wrong, honest or dishonest, appropriate or inappropriate. (Rom. 2:14, 15) Most people are drawn to things that are clean and beautiful. Generally, they want to live with others in peace. Whether they realize it or not, they reflect to some extent Jehovah’s glory, and for this reason, they deserve a measure of honor and respect.—Ps. 8:5.

  I don't think the Elders in my wife's congregation would consider this in any way applies to Disfellowshipped persons.

  They certainly would agree that ALL Elders should be given maximum honour and respect at all times.

  Why cant Judicial Committees be taped?

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have never understood this.

  was it because of legal reasons?

  i cant think of any other reason why it wouldn't be allowed, but i know the elders ask you repeatedly that you are not taping.

  To make sure there is NO true record of what really goes on in a JC.

  The Watchtower org fears any one finding out what actually happens in these kangaroo courts.

  The elders at my JC and my appeal LIED their socks off! AND they are still lying now some years after the event. Some dozen elders and a CO all lied!

  How is holy spirit guiding them so they know if I am repentant or not?

  The Elders are certainly NOT being guided by any holy spirit.

  WT Study - 28th Aug 2016 - “Do Not Let the Faults of Others Stumble You”

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in paragraph 2 of this study, the gbojw evidences once again that they are sticking to the absurd 1914 doctrine – “when the last days of the present system began...”.

  i noted that as 2014 approached, the gbojw became somewhat reticent about making reference to revelation 12:12 – the “short period of time” scripture.

  so this study is the first one in a long time in which both the 1914 doctrine and revelation 12:12 are mentioned in the same study.

  YES!!

  I have been a victim of 3 BoE's and I know without any doubt "There is NO love whatsoever in the org."

  The thing that does exist is lies and outright hatred of anyone who questions what is said.
