No Private Beliefs Allowed!

by BereanThinker7 in

looking for references that talk about witnesses not being able to hold any private interpretation or belief that isn't in line with official doctrine.

.

i know i've seen them before but of course now i can't find any of the more in your face statements..

How far has Watchtower and the GB of Jehovah's Witnesses gone to stalk and silence critics?

by Balaamsass2 in

we have all watched some of the documentaries about the church of scientology hiring detectives to stalk and harass their former members,( their "apostates").

i have heard of individual cases of rabid jw elders stalking ex-jws, and of course, one would expect some enforcement of corporate copyright infringement on anti-jw websites.. what were the most outrageous jw "stalking" or investigation stories you remember?.

tonight's 60 minutes into ebay stalking a middle-aged couple who writes a newsletter reminded me a lot of the menlo park congregation watchtower "takeover", closure, and stalking of local elders to mind.

I believe it is Watchtower Examination 1162 about the Anthony Morris saga.

They go ahead and baptize naieve, young and impressionable youths even in their pre-teen years. Then they go and change beliefs and doctrines on a whim without any question(s) allowed. Any dissenting views are met with harsh and unusual discipline with cutting - off from family and lifetime friends and left for dead.

If you watched Winston on one of his channels yeaterday( that's right one of his channels now).....he rebutted one of the WT apologists claiming the WT will not go away. The mind - control is that "deep""....to think some man -made organization cannot be shut - down. All their thinking is done for them.

Hailstone message.....June 23 WT

by mikeflood in

new jun 23 wt....elders to follow gideon example, even if instructions doesn't seems practical, gideon reduced army by 99 % and he obeyed, it could be changes in theocratic direction similar to this.

what that means?.

elders will need the courage to follow instructions "may relate to delivering a symbolic hailstone message...".. in another section "major world events may raise some from spiritual slumber".

I think they just like to ratchet - down the control, bask in the limelight & enjoy it at the cost of the rank and file.

Bible Dramas - they really have no idea

by eyeslice in

jw
friends

it seems the watchtower are ploughing ahead with bigger and better film studios but come on, they really have no idea.. how come all the people in times past look like healthy, middle class americans/ europeans/australians in costume?

get real.

even a visit to rural india today would give a hint of how people probably lived back then.

I know....most JW's hate each other.....dissention runs rampant.🙄

Cost of living crisis

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

during the height of the pandemic all elders had to report to the co anyone who was struggling with bills or who couldn’t pay the rent.

the co reported it to the branch.. i don’t know what happens next.

do the branch help at all?

The Borg doesn't care if you have to drive 1000miles anywhere in any direction. Just as long as your behind is in those seats and keep on pushing door bells.

New blood card

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

all elders just got letters about this new blood card system .

“language-coordinating congregations will receive separate parcel(s) containing the revised durable power of attorney for health care (dpa-e) for all congregation(s) in their literature group.“.

my questions are - why the revision and what has been revised?.

Beth Sarim

Yeah. Put the janitors in place in life or death situations
