  Infidelity amongst JWs

  by YellowLab in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  does there seem to be a higher incidence of infidelity amongst the jws?.

  my brother, who is an active jw and ministerial servant, has an elder friend who was recently disfellowshipped for having an affair with another sister in the hall.

  it turns out this sister was divorced a few years earlier from a "worldly" man who had an affair on her.

  Infidelity occurs in the JWS religion like other identified religious groups, in including fornication, adultery and pedophilia.

  By their clergy heads as well.

  Sorry but facts are the facts.

  The Great Crowd Fallacy

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the great crowd of other sheep witnesses allegedly first began forming early on in the 20th century.

  rutherford was totally unaware of this crowds existence until 1935. it was revealed to him in 1932 that the great crowd members were heaven-bound.

  then light flashed from heaven in 1935 showing that this group was an earthly class.

  The WTS has had a long list and incidences of creating doctrines to suit their prevailing needs, (Will and Purpose) these have been mostly lies mixed with theological ignorance, this shouldn't be surprising since these men from the very beginning (C T Russell) were novice bible theologians.
  

  Concocting up doctrines to help in the proliferation of literature was really their core inherent agenda.

  If one of their adjoined members were to express some critical concerns toward these doctrines the WTS. leaders made a mandate to have these people removed and muzzled (Disfellowshipped)

  Medical practice can never be an exact science in its working state for its practiced by varying individuals who have a variable amount of knowledge, training and expertise.

  That's why its worthy for consumers to scrutinize treatments as they are suggested with respect to the practitioner and treatment.

  From what I've seen from people who have had compilations problems with their doctors it might be just that haven't been trained in new treatments and procedures to ones that have recently come out of Med school.

  A thesis: The Discursive Construction of Freedom in the Watchtower Society

  by AndersonsInfo in

  a thesis: the discursive construction of freedom in the watchtower society.

  https://ris.cdu.edu.au/ws/portalfiles/portal/24632569/thesis_cdu_24577264_chester_h.pdf .

  be aware, this thesis, although supremely stimulating, thought-provoking, fascinating, attention-grabbing, remarkable, noteworthy, and appealing, the author made use of out of the ordinary, worthy of note, and fascinating words and statements that, for the reader of average intelligence (like me), make for laborious reading.

  Trying to get my head around these go bags

  by phoenixrising in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was looking at prepping back in the 90s i was told by several elders that we needed to just rely on the org and jehovah and not prep.

  i started to put away vacuum sealed bags of rice beans and spices anyway.

  now they have this go bag crap.

  Go-bags and doomsday religious cults (JWS) are synonymous are they not ?
  

  The reason the WTS has been propagating fear and ignorance for so many years is for literature proliferation, money and power. Exploiting the public's belief in the bible has been their business acumen.

  so says former justice of the supreme court, lord sumption.

  he correctly calls the "lockdown" for what it is - house-imprisonment.

  let people make their own decisions.

  Sweden did that and in that country they have had three times the number of deaths than its two neighboring countries Norway and Finland.

  Think about what would happen in the greater New York area if there was no lock down as to what was implemented.

  There be thousands of bodies lying dead out the streets with people not knowing what to do .

  Think of Italy and its major cities what would happen if there was no lock down in those cites?

  Government officials not only have to deal with a deadly contagious virus in the health and safety of the population but also create calm, order and civil obedience.

  It pays to note these restrictions were implemented not by up in the air speculation but proven factual scientific evidence.

  The choice being, no restrictions that accumulated in an enormous number of deaths so much so that in place Healthcare facilities were over burdened or enforced social restrictions with a limited amount of deaths which no doubt will cause something of a temporary financial melt down ?

  Thats a poor analogy that doesn't relate to this unique situation does it ?

  Lets say you went to a bar one day for a pint and the server wasn't feeling the best, you didn't know that yourself, the server had the beginning symptoms of the virus and the person coughed a bit onto the glass that they poured your beer into and you drank from that glass resulting you yourself catching the virus, maybe even die.

  This wouldn't be a fictional scenario but one based upon factual evidence.
