  Society tells us to stop asking questions...

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was just glancing at the back of the october 15th watchtower and the questions from readers.

  the question under discussion is "what should i do when i have a question about something i read in the bible or when i need advice about a personal problem?".

  the article goes on to discuss how we should consult the watch tower publications index among the many 'tools' that have been provided by the faithful and discreet slave whenever we have a question that is not directly discussed in the publications.. one statement really caught my eye, because it's the first time i've ever seen the society actually dissuade people from writing in with questions.

  When you hand over your mind to a dictatorship you will not be allowed to ask questions which is what happened in Natzi Germany .

  The authoritarian will tell you what is good for you no questions asked.

  I was told years ago that questioning the Society reflected my mind set and that I had been in the Truth long enough to know they were right I was told I should not be even thinking the Society was wrong.

  I have been out of that mad organisation for a long time now thank goodness and looking back it would be laughable if it wasn't a serious matter.

  Its all a fantasy after all something mad which was dreamt up by either plain stupid men or clever evil twisters likened to snake oil salesmen.

  What about how much they contributed to the banking system by re-investing they must have put the money somewhere. I mean the banks needed to lend money to a lot of Worldly concerns including Satans Governments around the Globe.

  The Watchtower Corp. wouldn't let a little thing like investing in futures stand in their way of maximising profit.

  you've probably heard this before, but at a meeting last night the elder called the nwt the "rolls royce" of bibles.

  i'm new to the jw bs (and as soon as i can break away, will do so.

  ) but do they also believe they have a superior bible to anyone elses outside the religion?

  NWT is not a Rolls Royce when it gets taken on a test drive it breaks down frequently its tarted up like a Rolls but it's an old banger.

  you can't do anything constructive with it ,it needs scrapping.

  FYI: Something is going on in Brazil that's interesting

  the federal public ministry at ceara, brazil, on july 14, 2011 filed a civil action against the religion of jehovah's witnesses in the 8th federal court for practicing religious discrimination against former members.

  prosecutor nilce cunha rodrigues has taken on official representation of sebastian oliveira (ramos) who, after being expelled from the religion was discriminated against by colleagues, friends and relatives, including his mother, in accord with norms of the jehovahs witnesses who are headed by a governing body of the watchtower society.

  Barbara thank you so much for all the effort you put into trying to right the wrongs of The Watchtower Corp. and bringing to the fore the error of their ways.

  Dresden Germany during WW2 was a firestorm while being bombed to hell and mankind is still here.

  The Plaque wiped out millions mankind still here.

  Ypres Belgium during WW1 was totally destroyed mankind still here.

  There are countless numbers of other examples which happened throughout history and mankind is still here

  Its time the J Dubs woke up to the facts of history. If God needed to act he has had plenty of previous reasons to do so .

  God's Armageddon is conspicuous by its absence down the ages.

  What time did everybody wake up after breakfast?

  It seems to me that Lyman Swingle should still be in his pyjamas .
