  Watchtower tricks and deceptions

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  one of the first things that shocked me when learning the truth about the truth was how the organisation uses tricks and deception to fool their own membership.

  i guess we all have our own favourite examples, like the quotes in the publications that make outside sources look like they oppose the trinity/support the nwt/disprove evolution, when in context the intent of the original source is quite different.

  or the grossly exaggerated experiences delivered at conventions: if we happen to know the person or were present at the events described we know it's often garbage what they say on stage, more closely resembling a desired script emanating from headquarters than anything that actually happened to real witnesses in the circuit or district.

  WTS is ADVERTISING in local newspapers

  by still thinking in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just opened our local paper to discover a half page add on the front page for jehovahs witnesses... more to be read on page 4 and 5 where there are two half page articles.

  that must have cost them.. they are obviously trying to soothe the public into thinking that jws are harmless...let them into your homes.

  front page says:.

  	'...It's actually not that new, even Russell did it back in the day. He paid for "news stories" in certain papers about his missionary trips and his radio broadcasts..."
  	RayPublisher

  That may suggest somehow, the Watchtower is basically returning back to its root by following the footsteps of its discredited and contraversial founder.

  i recently came to the realization that the organization is corrupt and is false.

  my story is similar to many i think.

  i was raised in the religion, pioneered and served as an elder for a number of years.

  Another Pet Peeve About District Conventions

  by EmptyInside in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well,i haven't been to a convention since i started posting here.

  but,since my family is attending one soon,i was having flashbacks.. one of the many things that would irritate me would be running into old, so-called friends.

  these are ones that while in the same congregation we were close,but then,once they moved,nothing.. and it's usually them just still living five minutes away,but since they go to another hall and can't be bothered now.

  	Wow,this will be my 4th year of not attending,something to celebrate I say. I guess conventions are not all bad,the last convention I attended was the final straw that woke me up.

  I liked that piece. Also think about the needless amount of money you would have contributed, spent on hotel and meal bills as well as gas or airfare whichever mean you used.

  	Awesome experience. Please post the rest as soon as you can. When I was at Brooklyn Bethel I remember the adulteries, and thefts taking place. I too ignored it like Mariuca did. There are so many miserable married couples there.

  Why do not you also share with us your own story at Bethel?
