Real Prophecy vs. Watchtower Prophecies

by Perry in

while we had our eyes fixated on our "one-time" idol the watchtower and their false prophecies like the generation of 1914 that wouldn't pass away, 1975 etc.

; a number of real prophecies were unfolding.

we just weren't taught to look for them.

the majority of members on this forum have all but given up on God. Sad to say but true.

I take it you mean that they've given up on your specific brand of God? I don't think it's sad to give up on something that most likely never existed in the first place.

Most of the ExJWs I've met are agnostic when it comes to the question of "Gods" existence. We do not claim to know whether a god/gods does or does not exist. Most of us live our lives as atheists, which is to operate under the assumption that there is no supernatural being. However, if evidence of such a supernatural being were to become available, I think most reasonable people would be willing to accept it.

In the case of the Judeo/Christian belief systems all we have are writings filled with bronze age Palestinian superstition and ignorance.

organization obsesion

by Richard C B in

why are you guys so obsessed with organizations?

there has to be order in the world and organised people!

Perhaps you would benefit from examining the BITE model. https://www.freedomofmind.com/Info/BITE/bitemodel.php

The Jehovah's Witness organization is a high control group. People have been abused and have had entire families and social structures taken from them simply because they wanted out of this organization. Yet you still wonder why some of these people seem obsessed?

I wonder how you would react if you were blackmailed and had your entire social circle turned against you? Or how about being a parent to a child that was sexually molested by someone in the congregation that was protected by the organizations draconian policies on handling pedophiles? What about a family member that committed suicide because they were guilted and drained by Watchtowers ridiculous rules and fear mongering?

stuckinarut2 Yeah I'm sure it's him. There is an interview on youtube where he is talking about one of his books. I think someone already put a link to it on this thread. (Can't see since youtube is currently blocked for me right now.)

Here is another one of his books that just screams (I'm awake!)

http://www.amazon.com/Average-J-C-Thompson/dp/0692284281/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2/191-9884258-4970944?ie=UTF8&refRID=0HAYW96YD4738T9YP3E6

It's called "Average" and it's a superhero story. The plot summary is that of a young kid who has no powers, unlike his superhero father. Desperate to understand and gain his father's approval he embarks on a comedic journey.

I'm probably reading too much into that but this sounds like a metaphor for a kid with super zealous JW parents and his quest to try and live up to their expectations.

The " About the Author" section of that link is kind of interesting.

About the Author
J. C. Thompson has been a bit of a compulsive reader/writer since childhood and started making money at it shortly after high school. By day, Thompson plays the role of a personal trainer and fitness writer but sneaks off to secretly write his fiction every night.

Emphasis on He sneaks off to SECRETLY write his fiction every night. Probably just a play on words, but maybe this guy is hiding his fictional writings from the Watchtower society. He may have been banking on the fact that Watchtower doesn't list the actors names in these propaganda films so no one would ever make this connection.

Like others have already mentioned though, I don't think he's doing anything wrong or breaking any Watchtower rules by doing this. Still, the organization is not really known for selecting people like this as their poster boys. I suppose as long as a portion of that book money goes to Watchtower donations, they don't mind.

Good call on the coffee motif. I noticed that only after it was pointed out.
It is a staple during service. They need their caffeine infusion every hour or so

GrreatTeacher It's the perfect company man's drug of choice. Like you said, it's almost a necessity when going out to service. I knew plenty of brothers who needed to get their hands on coffee before doing anything else.

I'm really looking forward to their next movie now just to see if they continue this coffee motif.

2018: "Nor Men Who Lie With Men": Anthony gets a job at a clothing store. All his worldly workmates wear tight pants every day. Anthony is tempted to buy a pair, until he sees Frederique suddenly rushed to the hospital, because his tight trousers shut off circulation to his feet, which are then amputated.

Don't give them ideas!

Thanks. These propaganda films are loaded with so much BS that's difficult not to point out immediately. I'm really curious to see what the 2016 year subject will be.

So far we have:

"The Prodigal Returns" - How young adults should act.

"These Words Must Be on Your Heart" - How parents should act.

"What is True Love" - How people dating and getting married should act.
