Yep they condition followers to accept anything that comes from the WTBTS INC. as unadulterated truth and fact without any murmering or question to their logic and reason and certainly their authority . By doing so you have a rebellious spirit and endanger the whole congregation . They really go over board with that one . Classic brainwashing technique , use of fear of being out cast or different to the point you don't question things .

Apostasy my ass!
by Glander inlet's call it what it is - disagreeing with the watchtower bible and tract society after baptism into the cult.
in no way is the literal definition of the word "apostasy" applicable to what the cult is using the word for.
it is a buzz word that scares the crap out of the rank and file and keeps them from communicating with those who have become enlightened about the cults lies.. we here on jwn have accepted the wt label, "apostates", with a sense of humor, such as calling our get togethers apostafests, etc.. but we are actually the "enlightened"..

As far as I'm concerned not one of the WTBTS GB ever was of the LF . The final test is to be murdered by the worldly governments for the sake of the kingdom preaching . It's believed that not one of the apostles died of natural causes . I think there's a clue in there as well as other scripture that spell it out , even in revelation.

9/11 Conspiracy nuts...60% of Americans are you KIDDING!!!!
by Witness 007 in60% of americans in one servey think the government did it.....even though there is no sold evidence.
let me spell it out.....a huge airplane full of fuel hit the building plowing thru the steel supports, thousands of witnesses, and video fotage, it almost flew through the building with debris blowing out the other side.
although it appears in the footage there is alot of smoke but no fire, right?

To those still question all you have to do is look at the tv footage of what happened and the news casters clearly stating that it was controlled and the only way to do what happened was to put explosives in the basement . We can go 10 pages yet .

I think there should have been a gag alert somewhere in there. All they are doing is putting blame on the R&F . I challenge any of these self proclaimed arrogant holier than thou type elders to wash my feet when I come to the hall . Now that was showing humility and realizing you have to lead by example not by illustrations alone. I've seen elders get away with all sorts of insane things inclucing adultry and remarrage to the adultress and nothing being done . I've heard them make personal attacks from the podium and never apollogize . Being an elder means never having to say I'm sorry apparently ... excuse me as I up chuck my lunch ....

People leave the Org but don't drop the doctrine?
by Momma-Tossed-Me inthis deserved its own thread.
one thing i have observed being able to speak freely to individuals now about the wtbts is that even though they fade, they hold one to all or a portion of the doctrine.. if you examine the doctrine openly and fully you will see it has as many holes in it as the org does.
although it may appeal to you it doesn't make it sound scripturally.

LOL blondie - I wonder why they believe that about Jehovah correcting the Israelites, maybe it's because it's been hammered in their heads by the WTBTS . I don't think it's that easy , what we have are wicked men and imposters at the hieght of their game today ant the GB has made very serious mistakes , they even allowed for satanic symbols in their publications , they fornicated with the beast , they hold people back from education for fear they will meet apostates in school, they stifle the R&f from any sort of critique . The blood dogma is a complete joke ,even the way they explain it ,it's retarded . We know they can't change it for fear of liable suites so no hopes in that murderous dogma getting changed . Now look at the generation dogma , they look around and notice there's nobody left from 1914 and decide they need to change it to some ridiculous nonsense after promising people for a century they will never die and now everyone is just to sit their like zomies and agree without question?

They Are an Armageddon Family
by OnTheWayOut inthis is just my musing.
there's no serious controversy in my musings, just ramblings.
i suppose in 30 to 40 years (or less), sally and her brother may be selling the property on the beach at the end of the paved road, so that whatever remains of their family will have a few more million dollars and will be able to pioneer.

There's nothing wrong with living a simple life , education is extremely expensive and people usually don't wind up in the profession of study anyway. The sitting around watching CNN when you could be doing something industrious is a waste tho.

ok well , we got the one, neo,( keanu reeves) who is awakened from the outside by morpheus (lawrence fishburn) . it turns out that the machines had enslaved man as battery cells because they had destroyed the suns ability to be used for solar energy , it's along the lines of terminator . The computer in charge sends the smith virus to investigate who had been approached by outsiders . there's the red pill meaning willingness to leave the collective of computer controlled environment that keeps people alive and a blue pill that puts them back in the program without alerting the computer. There's a prophesy running around the program about a deliverer ............. and off we go with action and adventure . Great movie ,2 thumbs and four fingers up ....

Yep I remember seeing stuff about how they already did all the research so you don't have to . that is just a complete control trip if ever I heard one , just convince yourself whatever the watch tower says is what God wants you to believe no matter how much the GB chases it's tail in search of some profound dogma . They even claim not to go beyond the things written in the bible when obviously they do so convincing myself of that would only be living a lie and lying to myself . Interpretation belongs to God .

It is highly symbolic without question but I think some of it was literal . I mean ,it makes no sense to give a specific number 144k then mention a great crowd without number . So without going further into scripture ,it's the way I see it . Until the new light ....LOL

I don't know where you get the idea they are gay because they don't defile themeselves with women = make themselves eunichs . IMO Not real eunichs just those that abstain from sex because they will rule in heaven with christ over the earthling class and as what happened in Noahs day was the angels rebelled because of their lust for women and sex . As for magic mushrooms , I certainly can't say for sure about it .
