Is celebrating the 4th of July really wrong??

by Lady Liberty in

good evening all.... well, like many of you i have, and am still doing my share of never ending research.

thought i would do a little research on the 4th of july and what its "roots" were.

as a witness, i had never given much thought to it except it was a nationalistic day to be patriotic, and it was a no no for us to participate in.

What is not allowed by JWs on the 4th of July? What are the guidelines?

I googled my ID, and there is actually someone with the same ID on another type of forum for motorcycles, etc.

I thought mine would have been an only one, but.....

Is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society an Anti-Christ Organization?

by OUTLAW in

the wbt$ certainly puts themselves as mediator between god and mankind..very unchristian.....in many cases the wbt$ would have us ignore the words of jesus and have us rely on them,for any meaning the bible may have..as in the case of the september 15th 1968 watchtower artical "why are you looking foreward to 1975??

?..the writer tells us "this is no time to be toying with the words of jesus!

"..the end is very near..this was on a thread by another poster a few days ago.....we all know that armageddon did not arrive as predicted by the wbt$ in 1975..but..to work up the 1975 frenzy,jw`s were told to ignore the words of jesus.....is telling people to ignore the words of jesus,anti-christ behavior?.....outlaw

I think Snowbird nailed it.

A good thief, to look innocent will make other thiefs around him look as if they stole something, while he points and blames in order to deceive the unsuspected by-stander. The WTS is that thief.

Call out others as "False Religion" to shift people away from them being a true False Religion, it's classic.

They are Anti-Christ year in and year out, and the followers of this false prophet have no idea what's coming. How many studies have been done by the WT on the "false prophet" ?

Question about 1914

by serotonin_wraith in

jws believe 1914 was a turning point with jesus' invisible reign, and the first world war started in 1914.. what order did it actually happen?.

did they think armageddon would be in 1914, then when it came and went they changed their mind and said it was jesus' invisible reign?

or did the war happen and only after they decided to say 1914 was a special year for them?

NotaNess

From what I've seen, if I'm not wrong, it wasn't until about 1924/25 that they switched to 1914 as Christs invisible reign. Somebody? Anybody? Thanks!

when i look around at all the people in the world, i'm comforted to know that jehovah will soon destroy them.. i'm talking about people that don't attend our encouraging christian meetings.

yes, people that don't zealously participate in the preaching of the good news.

'what good news?

NotaNess

Once again, thank you Watchtower Society for pumping out more athiests into the society from your Mega-Religion factory...My applause

Education Talk from Follow the Christ DC

by FadingAway in

friends

justitia themis had a topic 'disgusting comment re: education from tacoma 2007 district convention' regarding a talk on education that those pursuing degrees would be d.e.a.d.

unfortunately that stupid comment was not made at the dc i attended, but i am providing the audio to let ones know how far the society is going in discouraging ones from pursuing college by using weak and tired arguments.. http://www.box.net/shared/s523re4c7i.

OK, I'm gonna take a deep breathe now....................................whew! that feels better.

Where do I start with this lunacy?

To start, I'm so happy I got to sit and listen to 20+ minutes of this made up name Jehovah, and heard mention of Christ what?..2 times. What about being taught by Jesus?

And lets focus on the the 2 ladies:

Lady 1:

SHE made the bad choice on what she was going to college for, and couldn't get a job, YET, later on she says she worked in her field. Thousands of college students each year get through college and move on to jobs in their field of study. (Blame going to college for her bad choice, I love it)

Lady 2:

This is NO special thing she was experiencing that they were highlighting as "because of her being a JW, she is highly referred because of how she acts or teaches her own kids". Do you know how many thousands of daycare workers and home baby sitters get referrals and new kids on a monthly basis? Were THOSE referrals based on how they acted because of Jehovah?? Give me a break. Twisted thinking.

Conclusion...this talk, shows SPECIFICALLY that 1) you can go to college and still become a great faithful Jehovah's Witness, (they clearly proved this with the first girl did they not?)...Great teaching WTS, you just taught against what you're trying to teach)

and 2) this scare tactic clearly demonstrates that they really don't have great faith in "jehovah" and their kids, to think that they can't go to college and avoid all the negatives of college life. You make it what YOU make it. No one's forcing kids to go get drunk every weekend. A good student of this organization could easily avoid getting into trouble if they chose to, but the WTS knows better now, don't they???

Glad I could down load it...thanks for the link!
