take a look at this from the wt's own site:.

such an examination will show that instead of bringing a cataclysmic end, armageddon will introduce a happy beginning for people who desire to live and thrive in a righteous new world.

What HS.....? Do you think I am wrong?

Although neither of us can prove anything...we are merely guessing...but who has more experience...wait......we don't even know what the One True defition of the word wicked even is to our Creator..perhaps babies are most wicked in His eyes....and older people are more innocent the more mistakes they make?

Hell...I don't know for sure...only God does...and I am not God...but it would be nice if He would answer some questions and end the arguing and fighting....but if He did....the person who gave He the answer(s) to would probably be seen by others as God.(just guessing)

How much JW doctrine is in harmony with the Bible?

by OnTheWayOut in

some have stated that the jw's go too far with their doctrine, but that much of the basic.

beliefs of the religion are correct.

i don't want to debate whether the bible is correct.. i just want opinions on how much of the jw doctrine agrees with the actual teachings of .

The Dragon

Being as every word in the Bible is open to be defined by anyone as they see fit...and the only competition being others doing the same thing...we can never really know for sure or answer that question correctly..only guess.

Only the Author of the Bible knows for sure who is closer to doing what He wants...and if He decided to tell someone human..we would not have any way of knowing if he/she was right or not....or just guessing like everyone else and presenting their guesses as facts.

So we are screwed..and cannot answer that question correctly..all we can do is guess.

If I was the FDS...I would simply say anyone who tells you anything different than me or does not believe in and follow my guesses and orders is "wicked" and will be destroyed for me by my boss.

That would be my definition of wicked.

I have a two year old son...and I am sure he has not learned to be evil yet...the younger we are the closer we are to purity...I am pretty sure of that...

Although he does know how to manipulate his parents into doing what he wants them to already.

Being good and pure must be learned ...just like being wicked......

Look for an older person to teach you more about being wicked..and a baby to learn to be more pure and innocent. Pretty sure that is how it works.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses a Dangerous Cult?

One of the slickest things about running a cult...is the way you can sell the image people are doing what you tell them by freedom of choice..

Heres how it works...if they are only introduced to one set of facts/beliefs...and have been conditioned to distrust any others from others sources..they decide based on the information from the trusted source.....the whole time thinking they are doing so in freedom!

Once you convince someone to trust you and ONLY you...and distrust all other sources of information and other sides of issues....It is all over..they are yours...until the lose trust in you.

If the president trusts the CIA for intel before deciding a course of action..and they present their findings..the only ones he will ever see and evaluate..can they not easially manipulate him to do what THEY want want him to do in the situation? Who is really in control? Is it the person deciding between the information..or the one supplying the information or knowledge?

Have you ever heard of the president arguing or going against his intelligence sources?

Same goes for cults...just a smaller scale......They do not like questions nor open minded people.

What IS the "Worldwide Order"?

by Doug Mason in

the more i uncover, the more i realize how little i really know.. after putting my org chart together, i have a question: who or what is this worldwide order?.

if this is the formal name of the full-time members within the overall organization, what is the name of the overall organization?

could it be something like new world society?.

The Dragon

Are servants masters or slaves...are they leaders or followers?

If you recover a thief's booty .are you a thief or a savoir to his victims?

by The Dragon in

been tossing this one around too....... .

i think it also shows a good example on how things are subjective.. .

will the thief appreciate having his possesions he has worked hard to earn, returned to those who fell victim to him and his schemes?

The Dragon

What if the thief is the King and his army....only he has written the rules to make his style of thievery accecptable and legal...even admired by his victims and followers?

However...when the victims and followers begin to try to do the same to him and other followers using their method...they are severely punished and branded criminals.

How slick is that?

Should suicidal or self destructive people have free will?

by The Dragon in

been going through my head lately....if you try to prevent them from doing what they want...they see you as the enemy...but are you?.

if you take away their freedom to do so.....are they no longer free?

will they hate you...or thank you when they come to their senses?.

The Dragon

Free-will it would seem is limited to certain things we have control over...and yet there are many things we are not allowed control over.

In trying to gain control over a situation that is not producing the results we desire.....could we be unknowingly screwing up our future best interest?

Like if you fight for custody of your child who the mother or father is trying to keep you from for no good reason......is this a protection for you as the future may be the loss of the child and the accociated pain that comes with it......or do you do nothing and go about your life..and wait and see what happens?

Terrible scenerio...but at what point should we try to take control of our own destiny..and if we do..could we be self-destructing our future at the same time unknowingly?

The Dragon

Are you a sheep or goat? And what exactly is each of them to the person deciding one from the other? THAT should be the question imo.

For all we know...the goats may be mis/leading and condemning the sheep..and the sheep buying it..and terrified of the judgement coming upon the goats...when really it will be their salvation and freedom....how messed up would that be?

makes ya wonder what would happen to find out they are the biggest sinners of all by insisting they are not and calling God a liar by asserting such a thing?

Is that not Blasphemey??????

Did not the serpent do the same very thing?
