  meeting with elders about WT involvement in UN

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i still go to the meetings because of my in wife and it came about that the elders knew of my pissed off attitude about the society getting involved in the un.

  so the elders said they could help me get over that and wanted to meet with me.

  now just to let you know, i have only told my wife and her mom so far about it, that's it.

  governing body member anthony morris demonized preparing for this disaster by building such a bunker or (bomb shelter)going so far, as to warn even against stocking up food.

  how can navigate if our desire is for absolute truth...

  by Ruby456 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  or do we give in to social constructivism?

  to relativity?

  or is there a way to be real and then to say whats real that everyone agrees to?.

  I don`t believe anyone , at any given time , will ever have knowledge of absolute truth .(whatever that is )

  Isn`t " absolute truth" in the eye of the beholder anyway ?

  Who defines what absolute truth is anyway ?

  Humans quest for knowledge began when Eve ate the forbidden fruit , if you believe the Bible ( way to go Eve ) and mankind is on a never ending quest to gain more knowledge and will continue to do so until the last man standing .

  That`s if I understand correctly where your coming from Ruby456

  Just my 2 cents worth

  New publication 2014 " God`s Kingdom Rules " is now approximately 2 years out of date .

  Jehovah`s Witnesses studying this book need to ask themselves , am I studying new light or old light .?

  Is what I am studying today , going to be accepted as the truth , in a year , 2 years , or 5 years in the future.?

  On past expriences I wouldnt hold my breath

  Happiness and Freedom On A Paradise Earth?

  by Disassociated Lady 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at a recent meeting there was a watchtower article about life in paradise.

  they were saying that even when witnesses finally get there they will still be under the strict instructions from the elders and gb.

  they may be given jobs that they will find unpleasant, also the preaching work will be ongoing because of all the resurrected people who need to learn about why they are given another chance.

  Audio machine and the satanic band WT used!

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's been braught out in other places before that the band audiomachine' song eternal flame was used in the last video of the convention this year.

  but do you know that the band has several albums and in these albums are songs with titles that could easily be construed as satanic or pagan!

  some of these song titles are: hells battalion, legions of doom, tree of life, god of lankhmar, and the heavens shall tremble.

  The WT /GB members , speak with a forked tongue , they speak out of both sides of their mouth .

  They have one set of rules for themselves and another set of rules for the rank & file .

  Don`t do what we do , do as we say .

  I think that about sums it up .

  It could also be said

  GB./FDS , We are Gods chosen ones to give food at the proper time., the rank and file just need to be brought into line to obey us even if it means destroying familys .Mat.10 35-37

  I dont believe the WT/GB organization even today understands the power of the internet ,u-tube ,social media , especially among the young , teenage child , and how it`s going to impact on them.

  I have faith in the youth of todays JW`s to totally abandon the Jehovah`s Witness /Watchtower religion and pursue a life they were meant to live , free from indoctrination .

  Does anyone else squirm uncomfortably in disbelief?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as we know, every month on the "official broadcasting" presentation, a new "music video" is presented.. can these possibly be any more cringe-worthy??.

  the words, music, singing are so, so bad....i mean, so bad!.

  surely witnesses are not so stupid that they don't harbor secret feelings of awkwardness when they see these?.

  The paradise earth doesn`t begin after armageddon , it doesn`t start till after the thousand years of Jesus Christ`s reign when Satan & his demons are let loose for a time and then finally destroyed.

  At which time those that are destroyed with them number like the sands of the seashore , so theire definitely wont be any paradise during JC thousand year rule.
