Witness fear of demons why?

by donny in

during my ten year sojourn through the watchtower, i was always amazed at the witnesses fear and fascination with demons.

occasionally at gatherings, they would exchange "demon" stories, which were just a jw way of telling ghost stories, and you would usually hear a few "uhhs" and "oh my's" as the story was told.

although i had heard folks of other denominations mention demons, it was never with the "shock and awe" the witnesses put into it.

jefferywhat

They fear demons because they that realise fear is a great motivator and control mechanism.

No Hell? Lets replace it with Armageddon and the constant threat of demonic attack.

I was brought up to believe that if you took a step outside the org, a demon was waiting there to attack you and throw you around the room.

I confronted my fear. Had alot of fun doing it!

OK, I have heard more.

1. CO's are going for sure. Responsible elders will be assigned a congregation to serve a Friday to Sunday. Friday night is mid week meeting, Saturday is field service then elders meeting, pioneer meeting. Sunday as usual. Half the reason why sunday meeting are shorter and book study dropped is to support this new arrangement.

2. Lösch is trying to become the new charismatic leader and challenging Jaracz more and more, he thinks the WT of the early 90's on education was the work of apostates and led to the major decrease in growth, Barr is the onlyl one really standing up to him.

Changes in Elder arrangement?

by metatron in

jw
friends

there are continuing rumors about changes that are going to be made in the elder arrangement.

while these are still only rumors, i wish .

to repeat that the society must be under pressure to make legally motivated changes to the elder structure.. first, the appointment of elders seems to be much more direct than the appointment of most priests or pastors in common religions.. that might be a problem leading directly to the governing body.. more than that, there is a clearly defined hierarchy going up from local elders thru the c.o.

jefferywhat

I started a thread a while ago that has had thousands of hits regarding the changes to the 'org'.

Anyone that has been in the org for any length of time will notice that they take two paths when making changes, they either bomb you with sensational headlines, or they sneak things in via a whisper campaign lead by thge CO's backed up by talks at conventions, then touched on in the Watchtower.

I think we are seeing the second process with the elder arrangement.

In one of the script talks at last years DC they said " there is no ladder in Jehovahs organisation" and " wives, dont put pressure on your husbands to get position".

This is being backed up by the CO's visit which is all about who to appoint and how the society doesnt want to quote "pen pushers in positions of oversight".

So we see the whisper campaign in full force.

This will lead to a talk showing how some elders have not treated their appointment correctly and that as a result of human imperfection and pride, the arrangements are to be changed.

You can take that to the bank!

Where do atheists' morals come from?

by dorayakii in

many theists believe that atheists have no morality at all.

they argue that because atheists dont believe in the laws, limitations and boundaries that god has set up for us, there's nothing stopping them from becoming violent, lying thieving sociopaths.

there have been many stories of people who have "found god" and changed their life, giving up drugs, repenting for past crimes.

2 year old dies because his JW father refuses to allow a blood transfusion

by Honesty in

another sacrifice to the watchtower's blood altar, and this one didn't choose to die, he had the decision made for him.

Oh hear we go again....the chimps are jumping around in their cages again!!

The report said "Post mortem report on the deceased stated the cause of death among others as “severe anaemia”.

"Among others"......now I wonder what that could mean!!

Seriously this is so old hat. I feel for the kid, but what was the cause of death? IT WAS NOT REFUSAL OF BLOOD!!!

This is such a tired attack formation.

The heading "2 year old dies because his JW father refuses to allow a blood transfusion" is a lie or ignorant at best.

If you havent done a medical degree, shut up, if you dont know the casue of death, shut up.......wow.......silence.
