  The Next Big Thing In WT World

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  things got a bit lively after the agm leaks in october.

  there was a lot of discussion going on on this board for a few months.

  now that all the leaks have been more or less confirmed as policy, and we've had lively discussions at length concerning the changes, things seem to have slowed down here.. a few suggestions have been raised as to what might be the next changes, such as women being allowed to wear slacks (in the usa, anyway), decoupling from 1914 as an anchoring date and others.. so, what changes do you think will be announced this year?.

  The Borg making it up and reinventing itself. As they go along.

  We all know that the matter of "free choice" in the Borg is nothing but an 'illusion''

  The Reasoning Book

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the book reasoning from the scriptures was released in the 1980's, and it was used at virtually every meeting for service, every service meeting, and every theocratic ministry school meeting thereafter.

  many jws had copies bound together with their bibles.

  it was huge in jw land back then.. at that time, with the reasoning book, jws were trained to keep conversations going in spite of objections, to almost stick their feet in people's doors to keep conversations going, to defend "the truth," to argue doctrine, etc.. compare the situation today with that of the 80's.

  How can Babylon the Great be the WORLD of false religion?

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  (revelation 17:5) “babylon the great, the mother of the prostitutes (plural!

  ) and of the disgusting things of the earth.”.

  btg is spotlighted as being the principal "disgusting thing" which affects christians & christianity, with other lesser "prostitutes" in the background... (revelation 18:4) “get out of her, my people, (christians) if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues.".

  "We are not trying to create a new language".

  The same way you would hear Witnesses say at the doors " we aren't here to change your religion".

  Then why in the hell are they out there doing this preaching work?

  None other than 'obligation'.

  In other words lying for the Borg

  Babylon the Great is the world empire of false religion.

  That's because the Borg says it is right now. Thats apt to change. The GB makes it up as they go along. If you don't like it out the door you go.

  But just wait 6 months. The interpretation of the Babylon could change. Remember they(GB) "are not inspired and can err when it comes to doctrinal matters''.

  And no ''apology'' is necessary for not getting it right. Meanwhile affecting many lives adversely. ''No apology."

  Blondie;

  "The Bible acknowledges that human governments cause suffering, are under Satan’s control, and will soon be destroyed""

  What's ironic here is the WT's publications always preach about this and try to 'mirror' what the bible says. It is ironic, an understatement if the governments of the world team-up and end the WT by prosecution of the erroneous CSA practises. And negating the Borg's tax exempt status. The borg having to pay tax, on everything, ultimately causing the borg to go bankrupt.

  Now that would be ironic. Wouldn't it??

  Its a fantasy..

  The blood doctrine being dropped. The Borg is forever bound to the hip of this doctrine. Its just one of those things they can ""NEHHHVERR" change.

  Just like the 2 witnesses rule. We willl "NEHHHVERR" change our ""stance on this subject"".

  Because if the above 2 things go,,,so does the Borg.

  1914 tied to 607 has been tied together for decades.

  If/when that doctrine is turfed,,,it will be hilarious to see the apologists get their heads around and explain that one.
