  They Keep You In By Using Guilt!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you realize that the organization keeps you captive through the manipulation of guilt?

  they make you feel guilty because you didn't auxillary pioneer when you knew you could've.. they make you feel bad about yourself for masturbating although they know everyone does it.. they try to make you feel bad because you didn't contribute as much money as you could because you went on vacation....and so forth.. isn't it great to not feel guilt anymore over these things???

  Yeah.like an 88 year old lady in a wheel chair going from door to door plowing snow.Why can't you young ones do at the very least 25 hours per week if not more.

  Unconditional Givers Beware!

  by R.Crusoe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw a number of converts to jw beliefs thinking it is a religion of unconditional giving and felt they could identify with that ethos!

  a group who always give of themselves surely is full of loving kindness?

  but the price is unseen and higher than anyone imagines.. it is only later that some realised the wts are unconditional receivers!.

  The WBTS always say religions pass the collection plates,so what they(wtbts)pass the resolution plates.If the pastors drives a fancy car so what.It's the money people gave,they have the option of not giving any money.However,the R&F don't have an option if a resolution is passed.Talk of wbts scams,what about the district conventions and their hotel scam.The circuit assemblies in their K.H. and what they charge the members.The reason they build assembly halls so they would not have to rent facilities at a high cost.In some places the local elders can rent so called worldly facilities at a cheaper rate than that of a k.h.What about their false claim of Re-organization.Christian witnesses of Jehovah's Witnesess.Protection from law suits that is what it is.Vow of proverty,all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and they know how to hide it.And that is that.

  Does anyone else notice?...

  by still_in74 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i started this in another thread but i think it deserves its own......... does anyone else notice, that as they see the wt for what it is, the wt articles seem to not actually "teach" anything anymore?

  - it just seems to constanly preach over and over to not listen to apostates, not listen to news/internet/documentaries, not listen to anything critical of the org.

  just to read the bible and "by extension" bible-based literature.

  Rahab lied should be Disfellowshiped! Stupidest Watchtower logic ever!

  by Witness 007 in

  2. bible

  rahab hides 2 isrealite spies in the attic and then full on lies!!

  yet james 2;25 says:"rahab the harlot was declared righteous by her works.".

  joshua 2;5 ....i did not know from where they were {lie no.1}.....by dark the men went out {lie no.2} ...i do not know where the men have gone.

  Stupidest wt logic ever.You got that right pontiac.Anytime I open a wbts pubilcation I get sick to my stomach.

  Example: In one of their lame books,"What is involved in knowing Jehovah? It is comparable to the difference between reading about love and falling in love"

  Now folks tell me what is the Bible,is it not about READING about God.How can you fall in love with someone who is 1000 miles away and only writes you one letter.You can read that letter a million times without ever falling in love with that person.You would be talking to yourself w/o the other person saying........................................................................................................oh,you can't make out the dots,see

  Thanks,Blondie

  If they formed these new companies to conform to local and national laws to preach the good news,why.

  Didn't they have that right under the constitution?I think they are lying big time.The only reason,the only reason they formed these new companies is the be protected from law.All about$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

  God knows what they are up to and will judge them severly.

  JWs: Biggest Turnover Rate of Members! "Masked churn" rate of 2/3rds!!

  by Seeker4 in

  an article just out this afternoon said the following.

  note especially the second paragraph about jws: .

  for some groups, their relatively steady number of adherents over the years hides a remarkable amount of coming and going.

  wbts use to brag about attendance and growth compared to other religions.Look at them now.

  Closing kh's.amalgamting circuits.They bully their members to attend meeting,because now it's a sin.The Catholic church used that same tactic thousands of years ago.Attendance is way down in the Western world.What goes around comes around.If you live in a glass house don't throw stones.Next it will be full confessions,hell fire,etc

  2. child-abuse

  all boe have just got a letter telling them to encourage all parents to be more on guard with their children.

  suggestions such as not letting your young children go to the toilet on their own, not working with older men on their own and not leaving children in the car on rv's and calls un attended.

  the letter basically instructed the elders to remind all family heads that its their responsibility to protect their children whilst at and away from the hall etc.

  Blowing "BLOODGUILT" out of the water. Logically.

  by Open mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for any lurkers who doubt that the wt does not use guilt & fear as key motivators consider the term "bloodguilt" as used in last sunday's wt.

  in the very first paragraph it was mentioned that "failure to assume the responsibility of warning people of the choice that lies before them could result in our incurring bloodguilt.".

  wt: "if you don't preach, you're gonna die.".

  J.W. must preach this message by primitve method,ie as in the day of the ASS.The evangelical use the internet,T.V., radio,cell phone(which serve over 80% of the world).When people receive the msg via modern means they respond.
