in 1925, judge rutherford penned an article of extreme controversy titled the birth of the nation.. the editorial committee (russell had created) would not approve it.. .

ruthford moved swiftly to remove them!

he then hid his massacre cleverly:.

Terry you certainly know how to cut through the fog, very well explained lets hope your summation cuts through to some of those blinded by the false Watchtower history that the Governing Body like to present.

Brilliantly exposed.

The "WOW!!" moment...Theocratic Ministry School was a sham!

i just remembered something from long ago..... i moved to california in 1974 after i had been in "the truth" for 11 years, having full-time pioneered and also having served time in federal prison over the so-called christian neutrality issue.. i felt completely confident that my bible education was the best on planet earth.

i had honed my skills by door to door preaching, discussion, arguments and attendance at the theocratic ministry school.. i began working as an artist in a huge company that manufactured all kinds of art, sculpture and wall hanging.

the head of the artists was a wonderful young man, skilled artist and devout christian who took me under his wing.

I have said it before the Ministry School should be called Selling the Product School it's the place where JWs go to learn how to place the company product and how to overcome objections by becoming part of the company sales team.

It's a sham they tell people that they go to the Kingdom Hall for worship , I don't think so.

The Watchtower, a cult that worships the FDS and GB!

by VM44 in

with the continual emphasis that the watchtower places on following and trusting the fds and the gb in particular, one can only come to the following conclusion:.

the watchtower (and the jehovah's witnesses) are followers of a cult that worships the fds and the gb!.

essentially everything in the bible refers to the fds/gb.. everyone must listen to and follow what the gb says.. everyone must consume the "rich spiritual food" provided by the fds and the gb!.

How very true they have set themselves up with the most high. They proclaim themselves directed by the one chief director , well two if you count Jesus three if you count Charlie Russell four if count Judge Rutherford and five if you count ------------- oh never mind.

Point is nobody but themselves have done the appointing bit. It's a bit like somebody who walks around claiming to be Napoleon or General Patton. Don't take them seriously just humour them or you will end up as daft as they are. I don't think it's a good idea to follow them down the street marching and singing while they bang on the big base drum seeking attention.

Anonymity and Mind Control

by Ding in

ted dencher wrote a book in 1966 entitled, "why i left jehovah's witnesses.".

one of his chapters is entitled: "effect of anonymity on the mind.".

he points out that the wts goes out of its way to take away jws' individual identities:.

edmond dantes

It's unbelievable in this day and age that people still fall for the Watchtower mind control method madness. It must be because people do not realise until it's too late just what they are letting themselves in for.

It is as if the book 1984 had never been written. Maybe a new version should be written called Big Momma is watching you.

What is Worship?

by IMHO in

jw

we hear a lot these days about family worship evening, but what is worship?.

is family worship the same as family study?

does study therefore equal worship?.

edmond dantes

Good question how do you define worship I think it's to do with content and quality expressed in the way of love of God and fellow man. Also good worship involves saying thank you God for all thats good .

I would say that if it's good worship in a building like a hall associated with main stream christianity for instance take a look at the prayers , hymns or songs, sermons and even the architecture of a magnificant building with it's religious symbols .

However a simple mud hut in Africa can be a place of worship so it might boil down to true love as expressed in the content , practice and method . On the other hand kneeling down in the great outdoors and praying would be classed as worship.

So to sum up perhaps it's to do with content and to me the JWs meetings are more like a product sales get together repeating over and over why they have the best product when in truth they have a faulty product with very little true love for their fellow man.
