  I thought they were listed as a information charity? so I guess too much info is a bad thing .LOL , I suppose only one person lives in a house so only one mag is needed . What a joke they are on every level

  What's you BIGGEST pet peeve/disagreement with the WT or GB?!?

  by TeenageInsider in

  2. beliefs

  for me its the district conventions.

  not bragging in anyway, but i was born-into a family of 'higher ups' im talking co's and zo's..... and there is a room that they set up in the conventions/stadiums called the "chairmans office".

  i always have access to these rooms, because im usually with one of my higher up family members who give talks and all that other crap.. anyways, while everyone in the convention is sitting in the sun, eating a slimy, soggy bolognia sandwich, the chairmans office is air conditioned, has a variety of chilled beverages, 'coke, pepsi, diet coke, gatorade, dasani water bottles,' not to mention the 'danishes, sandwich triangles, cookies, cakes, muffins, fresh coffee, and for lunch, pizza, salads, pastas, and lasagna'.

  the want for too much control , I gotta agree with those here. They'd crap on you if you didn't wash your car or shave or if your suit was rinkled or you had BO , the sneaking around behind your back looking for an excuse to defame you to elders . Blatant hypocrisy runs rampant , then we get to all those dogma changes and the complete denial it was dogma to begin with , the governing body will deny being sanctimonious when clearly when they want all this obedience and substitute themselves for JC , to me a clear cut case of self agrandizement . It was clearly false prophesy when they promised that the kingdom would come before the generation of 1914 died off but they won't even take accountability for it and again deny they said it when it was on the back of the cover of every WT mag written for almost a hundred years . Then they get themselves ensnared with the UN but rather than apologize and repent they use the gag order of warning people not to answer questions nor ask any .WOW now there's some freedom in christ for you . Absolutely disgusting

  NOAH’S BIBLICAL FLOOD ACTUALLY HAPPENED, SAYS FAMED ARCHEOLOGIST WHO FOUND THE TITANIC

  http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/12/11/noahs-biblical-flood-actually-happened-says-famed-archeologist-who-found-the-titanic/ .

  "the story of noah's ark and its associated flood continues to be retold to children and studied by theologians, alike.

  while some dismiss it as a mere fable, others believe wholeheartedly that the event literally unfolded, with a massive down-pouring of water ravaging the earth at god's command.

  trying to prove anything from the bible is difficult , no one can prove moses or the exodus , I think the flood story is just as hard if not harder but at least he's not wasting his time chasing loch ness monster or chupa cabre stories .LOL sounds interesting to me

  I really think the WTBTS should show humility here and ask forgiveness for their many short comings in regard to false prophesy and dogma changes , what about the generation of 1914 , they promised all those people eternal life and what did they get?, replaced with the hope of resurrection . there's the UN issue as well sice they apperently seem to be associated with it but wasn't that the scarlet beast ? Now if you went and associated with organizations not even as horrific as they made that one out to be you would DF in a heart beat . Now I know I challenged the beliefs and all I got was insults and defamation . They just come back with the sanctimonious angle of we are the FDS and you aren't.

  That's one way to look at it prologus. Not agreeing tho . What I see is the saints that are martyred in behalf of witnessing about jesus are the only ones admited thru the pearl gates , the 12 tribe thing is just figurative , the great crowd never know death and are allowed to inherit the paradise earth . I don't agree that only earthly subjects partake at the ."lords evening meal", because the apostles were the only ones there at the first one and jesus is telling them that he will prepare a place for them so they can go where he goes and that is in heaven

  I think what we do know is that the GC did not exist in jesus day since they are promised an escape from death when the world ends as with the LF they are expected to surrender their life on the alter to prove their worthiness for a heavenly existence as for all people your physical body must be a temple to GOD with a strong moral character all must show to be saved .

  The account of Ananias and Sapphira at Acts 5 categorically proves the Bible is not inerrant

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  go and read it again at acts 5: 11. ananias and sapphira drop dead at peter's feet for "playing false to god/holy spirit" by not giving all of the money to peter that they got from a field they sold.

  ananias and sapphira were christians.

  they wanted to help the poor and so sold one of their possessions, a field, and gave most of the money to peter.

  not true tec , jc judged the religious leaders for their lack of faith called them synagogue of satan and said it would go easier for sodom and gomorah on judgement day than for jerusalem , there is a difference between judgement and execution , it is believed by the WTBTS that he used the roman army to anihilate them in 70ce. The story of sophia and ananias can be examined but exactly cause of death from a CSI angle cannot be determined .LOL If we compare what happened to herod antipas we see something different as he was turned to a pile of puss and worms for blaspheme

  The current purpose of the JW Corporation

  by cptkirk in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i think it can simply be summed up as this: to prop up as many sociopaths as possible.

  the great irony being that the core principle of christianity was supposed to be empathy, and the core symptom of someone suffering from sociopathy is the inability to even comprehend the word empathy.

  we've got the beast preaching brotherly love, and the church preaching burn thy neighbor lol, wtf???

  well, I never knew any dubby's that impressed me on the intellect side , they do resort to childish techniques to get members to comply and surrender critical thinking attributes , I mean they condemn college education and I think most that persue it are born ins that don't want to lose contact with their fanatical family
