  Understanding the Witness trained mind! Theocratic schooled =always defending without thinking!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  theocratic mid-week meeting was just a session of "defence tactics" training witnesses to automatically think of a defensive answer without even pondering the other persons point of view.

  witnesses send everything you throw at them in the "trash basket" of their brain...only thinking of thier next defensive response.

  this is typical cult thinking.

  Yep, just a programming session. Repeat repeat repeat until the responses come out without the mind even getting turned on.

  woah, did the Israelites offer human sacrifice to Jehovah?!

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i thought that never happened, but reading judges 11:30,31 looks to me like jephthat offered whoever greets him first as a "burnt offering", then when returning, his daughter is who greets him, she says for him to keep his word but let her mourn her virginity, after that, he keeps his vow.

  i gotta look this one up.

  Some old testament apologists will claim that his "sacrifice" was making her serve in the temple instead of burning her like he promised.

  Of course that's total BS. Why would she be mourned so much for the honor of serving in the temple? It just doesn't wash. If you're going to go beyond what the scriptures actually say, then you can make up anything you want. But the story is very clear as written.

  GENETICS- CREATIONISTS need not be INTIMIDATED.

  by hooberus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  genetics- creationists need not be intimidated.. .

  internet evolutionists almost universally and repetitiously proclaim that modern neo-darwinian evolutionary theory is supported by overwhelming evidence and that there is no evidence for biblical creation (or even mere intelligent design) for that matter.

  they will dogmatically claim that evolution receives universal support from all the real scientists and all the facts from genetics, biology, geology, paleontology, and every other ology that one can think of.

  The Watchtower Is Never "Really" Wrong

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  no matter what they say, they're never really wrong.

  misstatements serve a purpose!

  they always reinvent their words or simply deny ever teaching certain things.. the witnesses are not a humble group of christians.

  "It was god using his organization to test the faith of the brothers and weed out the unworthy ones."

  "...However, there are good reasons for us not to circulate transcripts or recordings of talks. Because talks are often delivered with local needs in mind, we could easily misconstrue points from a circulated recording, since we would not be aware of the setting in which the talk was given..."

  So much for the worldwide unified message. It's better you don't know what we're telling the other "brothers".

  How can you argue with that? If people don't believe the bible stories of Jesus as a god or son of god, then they're not really "Christians" are they?
