  Clever ploy to get sisters to monitor husband's internet use in today's WT

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in today's study watchtower there was, yet again, more demonization of the internet.

  although the paragraph purported to be about guarding against pornography, it struck me that they are attempting to kill two birds with one stone here, without mentioning one of the birds by name.

  here's a scan, check out paragraph 15:.

  Can anyone give me an experience where confessing to the Elders did NOT make a situation worse?

  When someone confesses, either the whole congregation will find out or the matter is not allowed to go away.

  I would be real interested in an actual experience, not a quote or scriptural reason, of positive coming from being 'honest" with the elders.

  Of course they are looking at porn.

  The GB forbids them from actually doing the "fun" stuff.

  In all seriousness, I learned about internet porn from the WT.

  My kids learned about masturbation from the WT.

  And they wonder why they have a problem, they plant the seed.

  It seems like most were baptized over twenty years ago.

  Besides the very young and those with mental/emotional issues, not too many are getting baptized anymore.

  I would say its a good sign very few are recently baptized (bet the WBT$ is thankful for third world nations).

  Really convinces you that this is an organization going backwards.

  "Remember, nobody can REALLY love you unless they know and love Jehovah first."

  "unless they know and love jehovah first.

  they love "jehovah".

  they discuss how to make sure that though they are in charge, everyone doesn't see them, they see the great and powerful jehovah.... oh.

  After reading through the hijacking attempt, I have this question...

  When I married my wife, I was a JW. This means I could really love her.

  Now that I am a "full blown apostate", is it impossible for me to really love her?

  The reasoning of the title quote is so cultish.

  Did anyone else have to deal with insane "dietary restricitons" on a regular basis.

  I can understand alergies, but it seemed like many of them had "made up" these restricitons.

  But then again, I am not cynical, am I?
