  Hierarchy of Organization

  by lostsheep82 in

  hi, i'm looking for the article published in the 90s i think (i was a teenager) and it showed a diagram of the organizational hierarchy, at the top was jesus, then governing body all the way down to publishers it was in a pyramid style org chart.... can someone point me in the right direction?

  additionally, does anyone remember the article or any articles that stated how bad it was that other religions had hierarchy like that?

  i remember this being discussed at like a watchtower study or maybe it was a bookstudy.... i am on the hunt for another topic to discuss with my jw parents.

  False prophets with other religions

  by lostsheep82 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i remember when i was young an article we studied that stated something to the effect that, religions or other people have at times set dates or tried to set dates using chronology but that those were deemed false prophets.... can anyone point me to any or multiple articles or quotes that can help me in my fight with my parents?

  i'm battling the 1914 generation change at the moment.

  thanks guys I have a huge struggle ahead of me!!! that article from 1958 is great because it shows how they compare OTHER people who set dates, yet dismiss their own. Thank you!

  I love reading your posts. I awakened back in 08, and I don't think I cried as much in my life when I realized the 'truth' wasn't the truth. I couldn't believe I treated every non-JW as though they were lesser than me because we had the 'truth'. I remember being so confused in school as to why everyone else but us had to die at Armageddon that just seemed so cruel to me for a God of Love to do such a thing but then mom would just speak of Sodom and Gomorah and how the only ones who were saved were the faithful ones. The religion uses scare tactics to keep their followers. My mom is a reg pioneer her life goal, and I am trying to figure out a way of helping them out but that's all she has. It's sad. She thinks I'm lost, and I tell her she doesn't know the meaning of lost because for once I feel found and happy. I sent them a letter on why I don't believe with ONLY quotes from publications, nothing 'apostate' like and still they won't read it. My step dad finally agreed to read it so I'm revising it with more research i've done and hope in time they will see the real light. Through prayer I found the truth and I hope they will too.

  I'm so glad you were awakened and found the real truth. I look forward to reading more posts:)

  So little has changed... an intriguing BBC documentary from the 80s/90s.

  i'd better limit my introductory remarks in case king solomon (our new resident expert on jws, even though he claims he was never actually an adult jw) finds some bone of contention with which to try and start a fight.. instead, i'll just post the video.

  enjoy!

  I remember growing up whenever there was something like this airing on TV, they had a special needs talk or a special announcement instructing us to NOT to watch these as they were apostates and blagh blagh...if only they knew the truth to much of the content in these videos oh eyes would open!!!
