Special Bethel Talk Last Week

by BBOARD in

as you know i still attend all meetings with my still-in family.

last sunday a bethel speaker came to our hall (crenshaw congregation) and gave two talks.

one on "avoiding satan's snares" and the other on "showing patience towards jehovah and his organization.

Unbelieveable,how can a bethelite get on stage and out and out lie.bold face liar.When I read past WT/A mags with what they print today it makes me sick.They really believe the end is close,1914,1925,1975,1995,2000,please give me a break.Make bethel a career, so why did you kick all the older ones out,because they were useless when the end is so close.Liar,liar,liar..........liar.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not a cult and here's why I think so

by B_Deserter in

when most people think of "cult" they think of the people's temple, the branch davidians, or heaven's gate.

many also want to put jehovah's witnesses, mormons, and scientologists into this group.

i don't agree with that because there is one main difference between true cults and high-control groups like jws:.

bobld

JW's are a cult,Why,because I said so and you better believe it.You better not even think that it is not a cult.Why,because I said so.If you do say anything I'll boot your ass.Now,repent and beg forgiveness.Say you are really,really ,really sorry for even thinking such evil thoughts.

Daily Text for Today

by purplesofa in

monday, november 12. .

incasemyownfatherandmyownmotherdidleaveme,evenjehovahhimselfwouldtakemeup.ps.27:10.. .

there is one particular aspect of the last days that we cannot overlook.

bobld

We all should look at God Jehovah as an example of showing natural affection.Like drowning his offspring,raining fire on people,killing babies,confusing languages than favors one son over the other and kills those(promise land).Too many to list this evil father.

New Generation Understanding

by momzcrazy in

hello everyone, i am new here and newly freed from the snare of wtbs.

my sister, also newly freed, said our mom told her at the annual meeting there was a new "understanding" on the generation confusion.

it is now the annointed that will not pass away.. has anyone else heard this?

bobld

Welcome to the forum,momzcrazy.The garbage from the gb/fbs drives me crazy.For example the Jan 15/2000 wt "Keep on the watch." Six convincing lines of evidence that the end is near.The 6th line of evidence that the end is near.The number of genuine anointed disciples of Christ is dwindling,though some will evidently still be on earth when the great tribulation begins.Most of the remnant are quite elderly and over the years the number of those who are truly anointed has been getting smaller.

Well that was 7 years ago so quite a few have since gone to heaven-not.

Sept 1/2004 wt QFR The gb/fds answers that the 144,000 is a definite literally number

bob

PS We are really really really really close to the end.What fools the gb/fds.

Comments You Will Not Hear at the WT Study (11/5 PURPOSE IN LIFE)

by WT Comments in

soliciting your comments as well!

please take a moment to post a comment, even if brief.

share your experience and keep the topic active.. .

Very good review ."the real purpose in life is not believing what bs the fds/gb say".Q5 they always focus on some grumppy rich dude that is never happy.There are 10 of millions of people that are well off and very happy,however they are not one of Jehovah's Witnesses.They fds/gb always say materialism is bad, riches is bad,well ask the 14 million children under 5 years that go hungary and over 5 million of those starve to death each year. God's kingdom will solve man's problems,however for over two thousands years is not soon.Man has to work,grow food and try his best to help the poor.Preaching and giving useless mags/books is just wasting valuable resources.I have more to say about the so called God's kingdom but at another time.

Do you find the Jan 15-08 WT disturbing?

by cultswatter in

i have now read the jan 15-08 about 3 times.

every time that i do, i get madder and madder.

here are some things that i find disturbing.

bobld

If god give humans freedom,then why do they need to preach from d-to-d for their salvation? If it's a command than you don't have freedom.Also I think the directive not to eat of the apple was just that, because that apple was poison and had nothing to do with rulership or svereignty.Why put the temptation right in the middle of the garden where they could see every day.It's like a mother putting a jar of cookies in the middle of the table and telling her children not to eat any.dumb,crazy idea.

bob

PS If it's such an ugent lifesaving work, than why is Sam hell don't they use modern means to get this message out.When a hurricane or a tornado is about to hit what does the gov't do.Oh,they send all their public people door to door to warn everybody because it the most effective way.Those that aren't home get a tract reminder that the storm will hit in a few hours and they have to leave right away.Why do those b$$#%^ tell their r&f to have a battery operated RADIO so they can listen in case of an emergency. Also their propaganda could be broadcast in countries where they are band w/o presecution.

NEED HELP WITH 'NEW LIGHT' & THE GENERATION DOCTRINE

by Mary in

i was talking to gumby today and he told me that one elder that he knows said: "...he heard a gb mention of some new light about the "generation".

he said the gb member said they now believe that scripture applied to only the annointed...".

have we had any discussions on jwd about this?

bobld

I wonder about the "millions now living will not die" to mean the same what Jesus said to the evil doer and paradise.

Career JW's and WTBTS Wellfare(sp)?

by oneairhead in

jw
friends

just a thought.....what if a career jw were to do everything that the borg told him to the letter?

for example, pioneer then get a job as a janitor at night.

lets say that they do this until retirement with no retirement benefits because they didn't work full time .

bobld

I believe their latest wt/a has something about how jw are not like the world when it comes to money.They don't gamble,drink,waste money on immortal movies,drugs,parties,etc,etc.Oh,yeah the new system is just around the corner,oh,so close,soon ,any minute.Store up treasures in heaven where no one can steal your hard earn salvation. Work hard going from door to door.They don't waste money on fancy trips,sports,latest fads.

So what does the av jdub do with all the "old light" books?

by rose petal in

hi, posting on another thread, i asked this question.

i would like to know - what do they do with the 'old light' books?

does it not occur to them that they have a pile of books that they are not allowed to read?

bobld

They use old books for study sessions to keep r&f busy.Ex.The old Revelation book 1988 edition with a new 2006 printing of the book with a whole slew of changes.p159 para.18 "The Finished Mystery book of 1917.In time,though,this book proved to be unsatisfactory as an explanation of Revelation."Than on p165 para.16 GET THIS...."In 1917 the Bible Students published The Finished Mystery, a powerful commentary on Revelation and Ezekiel."Unbelieveable.I don't know what happened the to light.Maybe a powerful unsatisfactory commentary on Revelation.
