Very Offensive Statement Directed To JW Parents-Watchtower 4/15/2015 Page 11 Paragraph 9

by JW GoneBad in

wt is insinuating, worse yet, blaming senior jw parents for there not being more younger brothers reaching out to be ministerial servants and elders.

page 11 paragraph 9 reads as follows: .

"elders in affluent lands may face an added challenge: how to motivate baptized brothers in their 20s or 30s to get involved in congregation activities.

MagicMItchJensen

My point young brothers, DON'T BE AFRAID THEIR GOING TO ASK YOU TO BE TRAINED AS A ELDER!" THEY ARE TOO FRICKEN LAZY TO WORRY ABOUT YOU, TOO LAZY MY DEAR FRIENDS! YOUNG ERIC WAS TOO BUSY TO TRAIN THREE YOUNG BROTHERS IN OUR KINGDOM HALL BECAUSE ELDER ERIC SPENT ALL HIS TIME PLAYING "WORLD OF WARCRAFT", "CALL OF DUTY" AND ALL THOSE NASTY GREEK AND ROMAN BLOODY GAMES, HE WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST HIPOCRITES AND STILL IS TEACHING AT THE KINGDOM HALL I STOPPED ATTENDING, HIS WIFE IS WORKING FULL-TIME(SURVIVOR OF CANCER, SHE WANTED CHILDREN AND HE SAID 'AM I NOT A BIG ENOUGH CHILD FOR YOU?) SHE COMPLAINED TO THE BODY WHO JUST REPEATED WHAT SHE SAID BACK TO HER LITTLE ERIC. ERIC IS STILL WORKING 18 HOURS A WEEK WHILE SHE WORKS FULL-TIME AND SUFFERS FROM THE CANCER, GOT TO LOVE THE ORG!

HOW'S THAT FOR ELDER'S KEEPING THINGS SECRET?

AFTER STEPPING DOWN FROM ELDERHOOD-SCHMELDERHOOD, I NEVER LOOKED BACK!

If your attending the Kingdom Hall Meetings very few of us were asking the young ones to step up and pull our weight, we enjoyed doing all the work. If their going to lie, they might as well tell as big of lies as they can! I swear in several Congos, very few young ones were approached or even groomed(not like a pedophile's grooming) to do more things. They were too busy drinking at parties on their downtime, busy on judicial committees and faking Field Service and Regurgitating the Same Shitty Talks Outlines for decades, no time to help the youth!

Richard Dawkins espouses Militant Atheism: "Mock them, Ridicule them." Attack Religious People with Insults!

by MagicMItchJensen in

richard dawkins has said frequently if we don't agree with religious or spiritual people we need to "insult them!

" tell their their out of their "fucking gourds!

" and make sure you really show them how stupid they are for believing in something they can't prove!".

MagicMItchJensen

I think there are a lot of Christians who can't forget all the atrocities and blood spilled through regimes claiming to have gotten rid of God. We hear about the "Millions of people burned at the stake or hung during the Witch Trials". I had someone who was a atheist telling me how the Puritans were responsible or killing "tens of thousands of people", if only 150 people were in prison and less than 40 were killed, where did the additional numbers come from?

The second area that troubles me, if the totals are carried in to Europe, that add to 200,000 to 300,000 depending on your sources you used. If 250,000 were killed during the Inquisition, as one author noted that's 250,000/ 300 years. The numbers on the Crusades don't add up to 100s of Millions, where are all these numbers coming from? The Crusades and Inquisitions don't add up to 100 Million, where are these numbers from? The Children's Crusade's was the worst by far, and still I can't find sources showing the massive numbers given by people.

It bothers the atheist when people try to bring in Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin and many more Regimes consolidating power under their godless Communistic Regimes. More people were killed under these regimes than Religious Regimes according to different sources.

How are we suppose to look at the 67 million to 75 million (Russians).

China had it's own share, it's about 50 to 65 million to, the United States Senate had a report done and they estimated near 65 million in China.

Cambodia killed off 1/3 of it's population, how are Christians and religious people suppose to forgive the groups that allowed Mad Men like these to take control and kill more people in the name of "Godlessness' than Religion of Christ did in 2000 years?

Most professional Philosophers are now agreeing if your bringing forward the claim "God does not exist", this requires proof by you too. Arguments do demand each party share a burden, why people are not picking up on this, I don't understand why both sides are not understanding each has a responsibility. Your the one making the statement "God does not exist, therefore you do have the burden of proof to make sure your audience is provided proof or best reasons why it's true.

http://www.strangenotions.com/who-has-the-burden-of-proof-when-discussing-god/

One thing to take note of, many atheist debaters are getting away from 'the problem of evil" because that assumes there is evil"

Here's a interesting article, Christians are upset at all the deaths that happened under the name of "No God", it's hard for them to forget too. Dawkins is upset about the deaths by false Christians, we get upset when people kill and follow leaders that teach "God is dead!"

We are slowly moving away from that kind of preaching work

by oppostate in

john hoyle--jws go knocking on strangers doors and try to get inside homes to preach.. wt rep--we are slowly moving away from that kind of preaching work, we do more preaching by using literature carts and personal telephone calls.. .

the above quote is from john hoyle's website:http://insidethewatchtower.com/doctrine/phone-calls-to-bethel-jw-org-email-and-contacts/.

it's interesting, isn't it?

MagicMItchJensen

I know we were told to focus on "Informal Witnessing", "Supermarket and Cart Witnessing" because the territory was becoming a waste of time. In Malls their allowed a literature table near the dark-side, its near the bathrooms and out of the main traffic flow so they don't bother anyone by offending patrons.

To break down the most effective witnessing methods here's how things at our Kingdom Hall, you must remember each method is greatly embellished plus the hours we are receiving to send to the Organization are not factual, they are fake or as the World say's "They cooked the books".

1. Door to door has the largest time spent per hour.

2. Cart and Table Witnessesing, they sit on a chair in low traffic areas where very few people walk buy and sit.

3. Writing letters and Phone Calls are next and often those getting the letters will ask the Witness to stop sending letters because their throwing them away.

We had complaints at our Kingdom Hall by people who were very angry they were getting phone calls at 8:15 pm and letters of the elderly rambling about things that factually are not true that "the World is falling apart" so what kind of witnessing should they do if they feel like their not being productive?

The Assembly Parts are very unfair, they tell big Whoopers making the majority who care feel guilty. Stories and demos are shared, they hint that some how the more active Witnesses have ten or more Bible Studies because they are using ingenious methods of getting the householders eyes opened. If your a older witness how is this suppose to make you feel, guilty or not guilty? Perhaps your not using "ingenious methods to communicate God's Organization's method of teaching the eye opening truth!" How many times did you visit the friends who were severely depressed because they hear about all the success the men and women using their spiritual riches are doubling the Master's talents he gave each steward while their stuck at home unable to multiply all his riches, it's not fair to each of the member of the group to get kicked why their feeling down.

Did Jason B Dunn say the "New World Translation is the most accurate translation there is?" Why make a new Bible than?

by MagicMItchJensen in

the circuit overseer mentioned something about the nwt being the most accurate translation according to professor jason b dunn, i heard this nonsense before but never really dug deep in to this topic because non of us really had a choice as jws but to accept all their random musing of our uneducated leaders as factual.

1. if the new world translation was the picture perfect translation of all the bibles and we went door to door telling everyone we had the "most honest bible", why did they change it to a paraphrased version?

what success have you had getting jehovah's witnesses to address why they tinkered with the new world translation, it was suppose to be the best translation and now it's turned in to a very loose paraphrased version.

MagicMItchJensen

Why did they make a new Bible if the NWT was perfect in the views of Bible Scholars like Jason b Dunn(that's what they claim, we know better). The fact is nobody is getting any rational answers on their new loose paraphrased Bible, the very same style they attacked the NLT, and other Bible Societies for creating such Paraphrased versions. How come it's ok, its good for them to "do as we say, not as we do!" method of theology? Nobody has provided any sound reasons why the NWT was discarded and replaced with a loosely altered version full of bias, have you heard why the NWT was considered "out dated or "out of service"?

What's the Watchtower's latest view on "The End" or "The Second Coming of Jesus Christ"? Most act like its not coming!

by MagicMItchJensen in

i posted that article from the miami newspaper, others posted the united kingdom's articles on jws and isis.

what's the official position of the watchtower about the last days, are we in them or are we going to wait another 2,000 years like the jews believe?.

i remember arguing at work with friends that nostradamus end date of 3000 was wrong, are there other past prophets you know of who predicted the world's end past our time?.

MagicMItchJensen

fish, what about the "generation" starting with Russia's Sputnik? The Governing Body had a letter showing they might use that to give more time for the "generation that will not pass away.". Are you familiar with that letter or New Light they might release when they realized the "generation of 1914" was quickly dying off? I am trying to learn as much as I can, truth is a journey throughout life, not some pit-stop along the way. If you used Sputnik's launch as the beginning of their "generation", what time would that allow you to stop at?

Is this blind faith they are asking the Witness to adhere to? Not sure if you remember Carl Sagan's comment in his book "Contact" asking why God could not put a "Glowing Cross" in the Nighttime Sky so people could look up and see he's there. No matter how much evidence philosophers say God produced there's always the chance people would disbelieve because that's what they do. Whether that is true, who knows! Why are witnesses suppose to accept the latest teachings from men with a proven record of being wrong, is that not evidence enough Jehovah is not happy with their performance and maybe they don't have love for everyone like they claim.

My mother said the End would come by 1986, she's going to die and still has faith the Organization is telling the truth. She's seen the worst kind of wickedness inside her Jehovah Witness children and still think's their decent human beings, does this mean she's mentally diseased for believing wicked people are good? Also does this mean she's guilty of not using her God given brain to evaluate the truth and will be punished because she's never done anything good for this World other than help the publishing company push their literature. So many witnesses deny the Apostolic Gospel in favor of this new End-Times Message of Doom, how come nobody can see the truth inside the Organization's inability to provide any evidence God is using them to set the Date?

b. The excuses given are all the people willing to listen to them are having problem with native languages so the Watchtower had to dumb-down their Bible version so new converts could understand what's being said.

2. How do you establish the message preached by Jehovah's Witnesses is not the Gospel taught by the First Century Christians, it was developed by the 2nd Adventist Religious movement of the 1800s. Has anyone gotten JWs to answer this question that their Gospel is not the same Gospel taught by the Early Christian movement?

3. Is there any good reason why the leadership of the Watchtower Society does not have "Question and Answers" like other religions willing to put their teachings up for debate? Are the Jehovah's Witnesses so afraid people writing on this site could destroy their teachings if they did have a "Town Hall" Question and Answer session? Why can't they have debates like other religions, is there nobody qualified to stand up for their teachings?

Atwill’s Cranked-up Jesus

Joseph Atwill is one of those crank mythers I often get conflated with. Mythicists like him make the job of serious scholars like me so much harder, because people see, hear, or read them and think their nonsense is what mythicism is. They make mythicism look ridiculous. So I have to waste time (oh by the gods, so much time) explaining how I am not arguing anything like their theories or using anything like their terrible methods, and unlike them I actually know what I am talking about, and have an actual Ph.D. in a relevant subject from a real university.

Note that I have divided this article into two parts, the second (titled “Our Long Conversation”) is something you can easily skip (see the intro there for whether reading it will be of any interest to you). So although this post looks extraordinarily long, it’s really that second part that gives it such length. You can just read up to the beginning of that section though. You don’t have to continue beyond that to get the overall point."
