  The "figurative" heart

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  about 25 years ago i gave a talk about how when the bible talks about the heart that it is the literal heart and how the heart and the brain are connected by nerve tissue.

  the watchtower even stated that some people who received a heart transplant would take on some of the personality of the donor.then all of a sudden the borg changed and said that when the bible refers to the heart that it is figurative.

  then when ever the watchtower referred to the heart it always put the word figurative in front of it.. does anyone know why there was a change in the use of the word heart?

  I think the heart is more than a pump and is effected by our emotions.

  Does anyone know why there was a change in the use of the word heart? When the Bible says to love god with your whole heart, mind, and soul, it is your real mind and real soul but only a figurative heart? There had to be something that caused this change. I always wondered what would have caused this understanding.

  The Watchtower stole from me and you too

  by rickroll in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  think of how much time and money the tower stole from any who were in the cult.

  think of the vacations as a child you could have taken with your families the memories you could have made instead of sitting in a hot bs week of echo talks and propaganda.

  they stole so much from us.

  In 1970 I was going to go to school in the medical field until the elders talked me out if it because in 1975 the great tribulation would happen and we wont need doctors and hospitals. 50 years later still no great tribulation. The Watchtower Society needs to be taken d down.

  Another Doctrinal Flip-Flop As Of Oct 2019 - RE: Locusts In Joel 2

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it's seems that even the revised edition of the book revelation: it's grand climax a hand was wrong again.. in the 2019 agm david splane "clarified our understanding of the prophecy recorded in joel 2".

  clarified?

  you mean he done a 180 reversal.. from revelation: it's grand climax a hand page 143, para.

  Going to the meeting is more a less a social gathering where the elders feed their power egos and the lonely feel like they are part of a family. They are more or less brain dead zombies.

  November 2019 Watchtower (Would love to hear the comments in the hall)

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from the november 2019 watchtower study edition.. how many of you would like to know what the brothers and sisters would respond to this question.

  also, if you went into a hall how would you like to respond to the question.. 8. how should we respond to lies?.

  8 satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.

  I have to admit that the Borg has done an excellent job at demonizing any negative press to the extent that 99% of JDubs are scared to death to talk to to ex members or to look at CA articles. JDubs are just brain dead giving up their life to live in a make believe paradise.

  The infamous WT article "Why Has God Been So Patient?"

  by days of future passed in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i went to my sister's house because she was cleaning out the garage and she thought i must have tons of stuff left there.

  i didn't but there was a box of unplaced mags in one.

  i pulled out one when i got home and it was this one.. i'm sure that if i had read it when it came out, i would have felt that the wt had feelings of sadness over these children.

  What type of a father would cast an evil spirit toward his helpless children? The desert God could have cast Satan and his demons out of heaven to a far away planet in 1914.

  JWs, The WatchTower Society, Child Abuse and Disfellowshipping

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  something just struck me.. is the wts the only religion that won't kick people out for abusing children, but would kick you out for visiting a website that informs you that the wts won't kick people out for abusing children .... it really shows where their sensibilities lie.

  they are more interested in acting as gatekeepers to information, especially information about them, than providing basic levels of protection to the children of their members.. maybe someone with a better turn of phrase can shorten it, it might make a good meme - something short and simple that really makes people think:.

  "the wts - tougher on those who read reports of jw child abuse than on jws who conduct child abuse".

  Very happy young drum player

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i saw this young boy play the drums i was really impressed by his talent and the joy that he has.

  for some strange reason, i thought of how his life would change if his parents studied with the jdubs and became witnesses.

  i could see how the boy's life would change.

  When I saw this young boy play the drums I was really impressed by his talent and the joy that he has. For some strange reason, I thought of how his life would change if his parents studied with the JDubs and became Witnesses. I could see how the boy's life would change. It would not take long for his drum playing and his selection of music that he listened to and enjoyed to be tamped down. His future would be drastically changed and the joy that he now has would just become a memory of how things used to be before the JDub brainwashing.

  Being a JDub when I was his age took my happiness away due to being different in school as I could not eat the birthday cake and cookies when my school mates celebrated. I could not color turkeys or Santa Clause or Christmas trees. I was different and made fun of. I hated being a JDub and being different. Being a JDub took away the happiness that children need.

  JDubs will take parts of blood but not when all of the parts are put together. It is like they will eat peaches, flour, butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon but not when they are all put together to make a peach pie. It is just so stupid. I wish that they could think for themselves. They let the 8 popes control their lives.

  Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my pimi wife listens to a lot of the meetings on the phone with the speaker on.

  when i am watching tv i hear the meetings in the background.

  i just cringe with how a witless can't give a comment without having said jehovah at least two times.

  JDubs think that saying Jehovah has some magical spell to it and it isn't even his name.
