  Excellent points:

  "save the world through genocide"

  "mental virus"

  I guess the GB was talking about themselves when they write about being "mentally diseased".

  Cults are a virus that needs to be treated.

  I'm sure glad I was healed.

  Disturbing new YouTube video showing Anthony Morris's approach to teenage baptism

  if anyone was under the illusion that all baptized jw children become dedicated solely of their own volition, then hopefully this new video should be a wake-up call.. .

  (unfortunately, due to the soundtrack i've chosen, this video is apparently banned in germany.

  This guy is disturbing. Billions are going to die, and they're not getting in on your coat tails. If they're old enough to get a drivers license they're old enough to get baptised.

  in this latest video instalment, anthony relates his horrifying experience during the bloody conflict in vietnam.

  as a new recruit, he is forced to endure the terrible inconvenience of having his much-needed sleep interrupted by enemy mortar explosions, leading him to make a brave decision.... .

  Sounds like Tony was a rebel.

  They told him to go into the bunker to save his life and he refused. Now he's telling the Rank and File to crawl into his Watchtower bunker.

  Why we really SHOULD trust the Governing Body...

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this well-reasoned youtube video explains it all.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwjm5d9m1lm.

  it seems that, in my haste to scrutinize the teachings of the governing body and see whether they are actually in line with bible teachings, i have overlooked one important factor which indicates that they really can be trusted as those "taking the lead" in god's organization..... ...apparently, their weekly meetings sometimes run past 5 o'clock!!

  i would like to apologise for any undue criticism i may have levelled at the governing body on this forum or elsewhere.. if i had been aware of the above information, i would obviously have been far more willing to humbly accept their leadership.. .

  Everything the man put together for the call, (all the research from Watchtower publications) he threw in the trash after talking to a member of the Governing Body. What does that tell you.

  Why bother with all that shit if love is what really matters?

  Oh and meetings on Wednesday's lasting all day and sometimes beyond 5:00, what a sacrifice they make.

  They do really care about the rank and file

  Sidlick prooved it when he told this guy he was barely in the truth. Those GB members can be so upbuilding.

  Crisis of Conscience, Apostacy and the Antichrist

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've just finished reading coc and it's truely a thought provoking book that's given me much to think about.. one thing that has struck me is the way rf was disfellowshipped and how he tried to reason with the elders on the jc.

  a key point of reasoning was that how the elders could define the disassocated one he ate with as "the antichrist" or one practicing the things described in 1 cor 9. apparently the elders either remain silent on the matter or said it was not for them to judge.. i thought the reasoning was really sound but i have been doing some checking on the definition of apostacy and the antichrist according to the society and it seems pretty clear to me that anyone guilt of apostacy becomes part of the antichrist.

  characteristics of apostacy as defined in the it-1 book are described as follows:.

  District Convention Points Saturday 21-07-2012 New Light? Governing Body Is Our Mother?

  by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

  2. beliefs

  i have been trying to wrap my head around the talk that introduced the slave as our mother?

  the brothers at bethel are worried that we are not treating our spiritual mother with respect.

  jehovah is our father, the faithful slave (the governing body) is our spiritual mammy.

  Could it be Mother worship like the Catholic's?

  They want to be worshipped (followed no matter what they say)

  I can't even imagine having to go to meetings and out in service. I think it would be torture.

  Maybe you could just slow way down. You could plead depression.
