  Has/did TBTS abandoned Russell AND Rutherford?

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  playing with myspace today and came across this, saying that the wt has abandoned both of them.

  is it not more a case of they pick and choose the bits of their now archaic writings that support current thinking?

  i dont know that one could say they have been rejected though.... what thinks you?.

  JW's a RELIGION based on PERFORMANCE! How dangerous is that???

  by freewilly01 in

  1. jw

  i have come to realize that this religion is based almost solely on performance and that is the most dangerous.. i always felt that as a person or jw (while an active witness)that i was always just as good as my last assignment, comment at the watchtower meeting, feild service report.. this left me with a huge identity crisis in the borgorg......... i really didn't know who the hell i was?.

  did any of you feel similair?

  Is Bethel the WTS equivalent of "wordly" military service?

  by sinis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it would seem that they both go hand in hand.

  you devote your life to bethel, move up in the ranks, are considered more respected with time served, go, and do whatever you are told - even at times putting your life in jeopardy, etc.. .

  a real tragedy here yesterday; regardless of our feelings about the religion itself, we lost some good friends and genuinely nice people yesterday; these were some of "the good ones"--why is it always them??.

  southlake four people died saturday after their car flipped over into a six-foot-deep pond in southlake, police said.. just before 11:20 a.m. saturday, the toyota sedan drove through the intersection of lonesome dove road and burney lane, crashed into a metal fence, hit a tree, and landed upside-down in a pond on the grounds of a mansion.. "they came through this stop sign and, from eyewitness accounts, they never slowed down," said neighbor byron copeland.. copeland said the residents of the property raced to try and help.

  And though, for the moment, you've clouded their sight,
  
  In their hearts they all know that my way is still right.
  
  How true! for some ex-JWs.
