I'll have to make it a point to emphasize to my parents that it's been the false prophecies, flawed reasoning, and ever-changing interpretations of Watchtower Corporation that have eroded by faith in Jehovah and the Bible.

What a stupid story. Jehovah protected chickens from disease? Just look around at any JW crapvention and you see a large section of special seating for the sick and handicapped. Jehovah will protect a flock of chickens from getting sick, but he lets a crowd of dubs fall prey to everything from acne to cancer to hepatitis. Lucky chickens, eh?

Another bash at education - wt13 9/15

by Splash in

page 20:.

the unwary may adopt the same view of theocratic arrangements.

they may be unwilling to go along with congregation procedures and may even complain about anything not to their liking.

" Or they may have reservations about Bible based counsel on entertainment, use of the Internet, and the pursuit of higher education. "

As long as WT uses, even "pursues," doctors, lawyers, engineers, and others with "higher education," it would seem that their "Bible based example" would give a green light to getting professional degrees. For that matter, since WT is now promoting their website doesn't that indicate that they have no reservations about using the Internet?

It's All Your Fault - 9.15.13 wt Study Ed

by breakfast of champions in

"in a similar way, at the beginning of the 20th century, there were a number of wrong expectations among true christians regarding the last days.

(2 tim.

3:1) for instance, in the year 1914, some thought that their being taken to heaven was imminent.

Billy the Ex-Bethelite

Yeah, and Watchtower explains that they never claimed to be "prophets". Yet if you don't treat them like prophets, believing everything they print is coming directly from God, you are a "mentally diseased apostate."

Know your place..

by The Quiet One in

this weeks watchtower study contains an image that depicts the hierarchy of the org, with the picture showing god and the angels, followed by the governing body directly underneath heaven.. and the rest descending further away from it.. (check the following link, my description isn't the best.

) "the earthly part of jehovahs organization includes: 1.the governing body 2.branch committees 3.travelling overseers 4.bodies of elders 5.congregations 6.individual publishers very subtle.. http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20130415/do-not-tire-out/.

When Paul said, "the head of the man is Christ," he evidently meant, "the head of the man is the congregation elders, and the head of the elders is the travelling overseers, and the head of the travelling overseers is the branch committee, and the head of the branch committee is the governing body, and the head of the governing body is an invisible wizard in the sky."
