“My
Heart was telling me that I could do more for
Jehovah,” says Richard. “
I thought that the Watchtower said the heart was treacherous and wicked and no one could trust it.

How the Watchtower MELTDOWN fits in the stream of time
by Terry infrom puritan times there was an urge to expand the kingdom of god on earth by creating as many communities of christians as possible.. this was to be done by setting a "pure" example of utopian harmony.
a "shining city on a hill" with a beacon of light for all nations to see.. perfectionism and personality development was key.. .
it was to be christianity by example!.

Good summary of the psychology of Watchtower motivations. The actions of the leaders of WTBTS have brought this organization down and it's sad to see so many Rank and File Jdubs still being manipulated them. I wish it would end.

Rev 17:17 - "God has put it into their hearts" vs Free Will
by just n from bethel inthis is something that has kind of dawned on me recently.
i searched this forum to see if anyone else has discussed it and couldn't really find anything about it.. i'm sure every religion has their explanation - but i can't imagine any being too far off from the jws.
the point of the scripture - from the jws pov - is that jehovah menuevers matters by forcing the nations' leaders (or those of the un - scarlet wild beast) to have a united and simultaneous idea of destroying religions (babylon the great).

Man has accomplished a lot more then they ever did at the tower of babel so why doesn't he confuse us all again. After all, isn't man close to finding the key to continuous life?
What the hell is free will in a religious point of view? Seems to me that Christians, Muslims, Jews, and many other religious followers don't really have free will because they let some man, woman or book tell them what's right and what's wrong.
God put's nothing into hearts and if it even exists and is hanging out somewhere in the universe I say it is not trying to put anything into anyones hearts. I don't think it cares what we do.

New Light @ The 2011 District Convention
by dontplaceliterature in" at the bottom of the image on the back of the invitation raises some eyebrows, but last night in the routine district convention article during the service meeting, i caught that one of the paragraphs mentioned that we would be encouraged to keep a copy of the tract in hand for a discussion during sunday's last talk.
my guess is, there is going to be some new revelation about what the "?
" represents, or some other fangled idea.

Does creating low self esteem in the R&F play into the hands of the GB?
by highdose inofficaly they say that they don't want the r&f to have low self esteem, they say that low self esteem is from the devil.. .
but they create a culture that cannot help but give their r&f crippling self esteem, the constant empasis is on looking at the flaws in oneself.
"pummeling" yourself because of your sins, all the publications tell us over and over again that we are "dust" and deserve nothing.. .

I remember a situation about 5 years ago and was still an elder. I was renting a house to a JW husband and wife. She would always complain that her husband who was emotionally disabled would play video games that he downloaded on his computer and she thought he was bringing the demons into the house. One day I went over to fix the washing machine and there were scriptures plastered all over the place cupboards doors everywhere.
She explained that she was trying to keep the demons away. I'm thinking why would the demons care about a bunch of scripts plastered all over the house.
