  new situation in world helpful to org?

  by Magnum in

  sometimes new situations can provide cover for one’s mistakes or intentions.

  for example, suppose that i crack the windshield in my dad’s car one night.

  i go home, park the car in its usual spot in the yard, and go to bed without telling my dad because i’m scared and i’m trying to think of a way out of the situation.

  There is no practical way to exercise power and control over adherents in an "e-religion".

  Well said

  Slowly stop going to meetings , if asked why just calmly reply your having second thoughts about the religion in general. AND YOU WISH TO KEEP THE REASONS PRIVATE WITHIN YOURSELF,
  

  DO NOT GO INTO SPECIFIC DETAILS FROM A THEOLOGICAL VIEWPOINT WITH ANYONE , PARTICULARLY WITH AN ELDER !!!!!!!!!

  Brutality

  wt says jesus became invisibly present in 1914. what a load of old rubbish.

  but they are not the only ones.. in 1927 a woman called helen keller wrote a book called my religion.

  her book advocates the teachings of emanuel swedenborg who claimed that jesus had already returned.

  The endeavour of creating supportive followers for own expressed ideology is empowering is it not ? , it could actually become financially rewarding such as in literature proliferation and publishing.

  Things that you may see and experience once you get involved with the JWS

  by Finkelstein in

  there are numerous experiences you might see once getting involved with the jws.. things that come to mind are as follows ........... getting lied to by dishonest men (gb) running an unregulated religoius publishing house.

  (wts).

  these men created an apostate (commercialized) version of the gospel of jesus and the new to come kingdom order, many from both inside and outside of the organization are starting to realize that .. your mostly likely are getting to be pressured and quilted into spreading about the wts's literature to the public in hours of service as they describe it, with all the attached false doctrines this organization's top leaders make.. you will be closely monitored by congregation elders to how you dress, the length of you hair your attendance, who you are associating with, what are you doing in your private social life etc.. you will most likely going to hear about people who were somehow associated with the organization have committed suicide.

  True Vid like education centers, governments, people, other religiously minded people, you may have to shun and abandon your own family members if they stop being a member .

  This is Satan's worldly system of things after all so expressing repulsion is a sign of expressed loyalty to Jehovah and his earthly organization.

  Armageddon is right around the corner.

  We are in the final parts of the last days.

  Yep , ironically the WTS has been saying this now since the late 1800's

  But I guess they've got literature to sell.

  Yes I can see that happening Tameria, the JWS elders are very invasive to ones own personal life, but that's the power and control the WTS heads have given them.

  They describe it as watching over the spirituality of the flock.
  

  You wont see that in most other Christian churches, as you wont see the other churches telling its active members to not associate with your own family if they actively drop out of the religion.
  

  Another thing you might see with the JWS organization is the dishonest information of how much money the organization actually owns or has.

  Recently the JWS GB put forth the suggestion that JWS children should give up their candy money their parents gave them to the organization (JWorg.) yet it was undisclosed that the organization had hundreds of millions stashed away. $$$

  his murder was a crime and justice must be done, but it's sobering to learn more about the man who is being lionised by millions.

  Maybe this issue with George Floyd isn't one of racism but one of police brutality ?
  

  Some examples in my local area of Vancouver ......

  Man having a psychotic episode is striking cars with a stick as they travel down a street.

  Police come to try to restrain the man who doesn't understand the gravity of what he is doing, police get impatient, cant put the man under control so the shoot him dead.

  Another man having a psychotic episode is waking down a street striking a chain at people as they walk pass him, same situation, police get impatient cant control the guy so they shoot him dead.

  In both these cases after an investigation into the incident, they were not charged with anything unlawful or illegal, even though they killed someone who wasn't armed, they were totally exonerated.

  I thinks its beginning to sink in through public awareness that police officers needs regulatory laws enacted while they are actively on duty.
  
  The list of people who have been killed inadvertently while being subdued for possible arrest is alarmingly, there was the Tazzer problem a few years back, now its gun fire and choke holds.
