not a peep about all victims, not even a prayer for them.
only pray for jws.
and who or what is jehovah's loving arm of support?
Jehovahs Witness reasoning.: Why they dont help worldly people in times of disasters
Non JW`s are going to be destroyed by Jehovah any day now if I /we give any support to these people we will be helping Satans people .And this disaster just might be the pre-cursor to the Great tribulation/Armageddon that is imminent/just around the corner.
the manipulative use of language by the org in the upcoming circuit assembly talks is as good - or better - than any advertising conglomerate could devise.
the mind-shaping wording is clearly used in order to deter critical thinking by the sheep.. face bad reports as jesus did (9 min.
note to the speaker: explain why spiritually mature people do not become ashamed of the good news or dismayed when faced with negative propaganda.
Gayle , I recognise some of those in the photos you posted complete ass-holes without a doubt.
a dutch saying is "am i that smart or are you so stupid".. watching this jw.org movie about god's name made me use it: .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njtimafdp7m.
jw broadcasting june 2015, 15 seconds cut.. geoffrey jackson is proud that jw.org is using god's name.. then he convinced that jw.org does not know exactly what god's name is.. then he convinced that jw.org uses the name jehovah because it's most common recognized in english.. is this reasonable, asks geoffrey... yes!
Geoffrey Jackson and logic do the two go together ? Or does he speak out of both sides of his mouth.
When asked at the ARC whether JW`s were the only true religion he replied "it would be presumptuous of me to say that "
However doesnt G.J. as one of the G.B.members actually teach that JW`s are the only true religion ?
How can anybody believe anything this man says about anything is beyond me.
despite my user name, am female.
i was not born-in, began studying when i was around 20, am 50 damn years old now and have spent almost the last 30 years in that stupid religion.
but here are some observations, make of them what you will.
That was a great post muddy somehow i missed it 3 years ago.My wife and I were converts in our late teens and spent the next 33 years under the control of the cult.
However we have now both been out since 1993 now 24 years ago.
And believe me things do get easier as time passes.
Dont fret too much about you and your daughters relationship these issues occur religion or no religion,they have minds of their own and need to live the life they choose and bear the consequences of wrong decisions or benefit from the right decisions they make .
Thats what makes us human and Adults.
i walked to the station yesterday to meet a friend, and on the way, in what must be the quietest street in the entire suburb, were two j.witnesses and their little cart, all set with a literature display.
i wondered what point there may have been to choose that location.
i felt like grabbing one of their bibles and reading matthew 5:15 to them:.
Whats next donning soap boxes in gardens and parks with loudspekers booming out the end is Nigh ?
They might as well be doing that for all that the carts are acheiving.
full stop.
(paragraph 12 -- feburary 2017 watchtower -- who is leading god's people today?
)so why then would any jw abide by harmful doctrines setup by the governing body (blood, shunning, the two-witness rule, etc)?
How do you reconcile these two statements
Simple , Jehovahs witnesses speak out of both sides of their mouth.
That is why they can believe in two opposing beliefs at the same time and see no problem with it.
Cognitive Disonance ?
Other reasons:
Brainwashed
Gullible
Stupidity
Gullible
Naive
Ignorant
Or all of the above in different ingredients / mixes.
story breaking on reuters here.... kim jong-un seems determined to start a war.
nk is a national cult of personality.
hating the rest of the world is the first tenet of faith..
Will , or could Japan take action on their own , in a millitary sense ? After all it is their territorial space that was violated.Are they handicapped by America ?
What country wants foreign powers missiles flying through their air space.?
The big question is what will China do with NK,? if anything.And if they dont what are the consequences ?
The potential is NK provoking the USA And China into a confrontation,and I dont think either side wants that to happen.
All it needs is some imperfect human to make a miscalculation and all hell could break loose .
Interesting times ahead I see.
what or who is a jehovah's witness?.
a jehovah's witness is a person whose faith is centered in men (gb) not god or the bible and who must never voice any opinion on any doctrine contrary to that of the gb or risk discipline and possible disfellowship.. well....its a start.. vander .
How about :
JW`s refuse to donate blood even for their own use believing it must be poured out on the ground and not used for any purpose and yet the GB allows JW`s to use blood fractions that are processed from stored donated blood in a laboratory from people who are not JW`s but are people of Satans system of things.Worldly people.
in the famous aesop fable, we read about a fox who unsuccessfully tried to get some grapes, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: “i am sure they are sour.”.
someone made a second part to this story.
fox did some rehearsal in the night and came on to the scene next day, and jumped with difference and got the grapes from the vine tree, and he began to eat to his full capacity.
venus , I know ,just hang on to all the rebuttals.that will come forth .Like you I will be interested in what they say.
in times past they had no problem giving such a timeline such as the green book dealing with daniels prophecy concerning the last days.
.
"your will be done on earth" that is obviously thrown on the scrap heap nowadays .. any lurkers should just read it to see how uninspired the gb/wt really is ..
