  Birthdays not mentioned in the new elder's handbook

  by Robert7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just noticed this today when i was replying to another thread.

  the new elders handbook doesn't even mention the word birthday, even though there's a big detailed chapter on offences requiring a judicial committee.. is it possible that celebrating birthdays is officially, according to the 'law', allowed?

  i can see this being the case, where technically you're allowed to, but you would just get judged like crazy..

  The reason birthdays are not mentioned is because they can't figure out why you are not supposed to celebrate them.

  They have never had a straight answer for it except to mumble some shit about John the Baptist loosing his head. They have no understanding and no real insight. They claim to be a Spirit directed organization and don't even know what Spirit it is they have been conjuring.

  Those fools do not even know why they are giving the "no birthday" command to their followers. They have never had an explanation for it. That's why they finally left it out of the book. They are afraid that someone will eventually "pin them down" on it. I expect they will be changing many more things as they become more afraid that due to public exposure more things will come back to bite them in the ass and show their ineptitude.

  I think birthdays are fine to celebrate. They can be fun. The key, imo, is to be modest about it. The caution of celebrating birthdays should be not to get caught up in self glorification.

  As an example of this---have you seen how kids can go wild to the point of tyrannical behavior when they have "their special day"? They get really excited about having a party and then their behavior suddenly becomes erratic and they are hard to control or calm down?

  Have you seen people go into debt---spend money they don't have---for some big party or extravagant gift? That is all part of self-glorification.

  EATING BLOOD: What It Really Means

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the phrase "eating blood" has been translated from an archaic language from words that were intended to express the idea of "profiting from bloodshed".. this would include anyone who is a war monger: leaders who declare war, soldiers who fight in the king's wars, those who sell merchandise that is used in those wars, those who provide services for war mongers, etc.. profiting from bloodshed would also include people who kill others for any reason.

  a woman who kills an abusive husband profits by gaining her "freedom".

  a robber profits by gaining some monetary value.

  Profiting from bloodshed would also include people who kill others for any reason. A woman who kills an abusive husband profits by gaining her "freedom". A robber profits by gaining some monetary value. One who kills out of blackmail gains silence. There is always some "profit" to be had where murder is concerned.

  Profiting from bloodshed can also be seen in some holiday celebrations. Do you ever see an Indian represented in Thanksgiving decorations? Rarely, if ever. The traditional decorations are a Cornucopia, a turkey, and a pilgrim with a musket. The "food" and the "horn of plenty" represents the spoils of war. Profiting from the deaths of others.

  The 4th of July celebrations also represent profiting from bloodshed. The fireworks represent the noise of weapons and the flash of burning fires.

  (I noticed on a recent thread that the WT calls these non-religious holidays "false religious holidays". What absurd wording. It should be crystal clear that they do not even know what they are talking about. They have no truth nor accuracy in their mouths. These holidays never had anything to do with religion so how can they be labeled as "false religion"?)

  Watchtower elites have made up the most ridiculous doctrines because not one of those people have ever understood the true meaning. None of them are nor ever have been "Holy Spirit directed". I believe they do claim to be "spirit inspired" but the only spirit inspiring them is an evil spirt. Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and none of the Watchtower Governing Body nor any of it's associates have that. Their time has come. They all have blood on their hands. They have profited greatly from the death of their own members and have taken the food from the orphans and widows. They have profited from bloodshed by directing their members to refuse life saving treatments. May they all be thrown into the abyss with Satan their leader.

  Do you have blood on your hands? Has profiting from bloodshed touched your life in any way?

  Do you support people who engage in profiting from bloodshed? Do you support the leadership of nations which engage in declaring wars for the profit it brings? Do you trade with corporations that provide goods to the war mongers? do you trade with corporations that furnish products that are a direct result of the spoils of war? Do you participate in holidays that promote the benefits of the spoils of war? Do you honor people who have been decorated for killing people?

  Revelation 7

  After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

  Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”

  14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”

  And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the (Spirit of Truth)

  "Behind Labels are Human Beings"

  i enjoyed this.

  the author wishes to give both atheists and theists something to think about.

  behind labels are human beings.

  There are other labels that Human Beings wear that put them in a precarious situation and many do not realize the deception. A "person" is actually a "persona"; an actor, a mask. A "person" can also be a corporation. Many Human Beings wear and accept the label of being a corporation. It is good to know the real definitions and the distinction being being a Human Being and being a corporate persona.

  The Tetragrammaton...And The Inserted Vowels

  for any and all persons who may have been associated with jehovah's witnesses in the past (or currently), you have probably read, or heard information about the origin of the name "jehovah.

  " as explained by witnesses, and even other religious groups, the name jehovah is merely the anglicized (or, english-language) version of the so-called "divine name.

  " the thinking is that in the original hebrew language, the "divine name" was originally represented by these four english consonants: jhvh; some persons think that it might have been yhvh.

  You ought to google all the mispellings of Jehovah and see how many times the WT have used deliberate mispellings on their contracts and documents!!!! They have been posted here before. I am sure there are some that are undiscovered as yet. It's a little legal trick to do that and they do it with full knowledge of their dishonesty.

  Conspiracy theory

  by sabastious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a writer by nature so my imagination runs wild sometimes.

  i always tend to fabricate scanarios that have a measure of feasibility.. check this one out:.

  according to the new world order conspiracy theory the ideal population for the earth is only 500,000. some think that there have been groups of people throughout history that have attempted to or have furthered an agenda to "depopulate" the earth.. this got me to thinking, who would these 500,000 "new world starter set" people be?

  Interesting, Sab because I have had the very same thought.

  It could be what they are intending.

  JWs and LDS are both cults with masonic backgrounds. LDS plans to build the "New Jerusalem" and exist as a separate nation on earth. Maybe they will pick a few compatible JWs so they won't have to start the polygamous inbreeding program again.

  Cain wised up and started spilling blood himself.

  This is the real meaning of what it means to "eat" blood. WT has mistranslated it. To cause bloodshed or to profit from bloodshed is what is meant by the scripture they are misinterpreting as to "eat" blood.

  Why do JW's only pick on Birthdays, Holidays, when so many other things are pagan

  by Joliette in

  i've always wondered this, and with the holidays coming up, why does the watchtower only pick on certain things, and leave other things to question, or to the conscience?.

  My own view.

  I think it somewhat does coinside with the WT view, but my reasons are different.

  Recently read in the Jewish Encyclopedia that Cain was not the offspring of Adam and Eve and that Seth was actually their only child together. No mention of Able at all.

  WT is a funerary cult. The origin is the four sons of Horus. People spend more time thinking and worrying over some afterlife instead of enjoying what they have right now in this one. What a waste of a wonderful gift.
