  this was prompted by another thread where it was revealed that the gb were referred to as "our future kings" in a wt video.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4911685446402048/fun-moment.

  if i've got it right, the 144,000 are (or were until recently) the fds.

  i get a few good laughs from the ex-jw facebook site: " ex jw humor will set you free".. i was laughing over dinner with 3rd gen over this post tonight: "question for the audience: i was driving around today and it hit me...there are big falsehoods (armageddon etc.

  ) that we were told, but also ridiculous falsehoods.

  They repeatedly pray for the governing body in their prayers,,,,who they will likely never, ever meet who are thousands of miles away in New York.

  Who likely will never give a shit back about them.

  And the ones praying for the governing bodys shun their lifeblood,,blood ties who live just a few blocks away in many cases. Just for believing different.

  ROFL

  Romans 10: 9 Simple Salvation - Not So Fast Says WT.

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "if you confess with your mouth that jesus is lord and believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead, you will be saved".

  - romans 10: 9. i find it interesting that this simple requirement for salvation has been a specific target of wt since their beginning.. first, jw's call jehovah lord, not jesus.

  the fact that scripture calls jesus the king of kings and lord of lords doesn't seem to matter to them.

  No one reacts with skepticism because,, they're under "mind control"

  Believing that Gods channel is delivering "new light". Which claims to be "God's mouthpiece" but also says they're infallible & may not get things right. And no apology is necessary.

  Thats what cognitive dissonance does . Thats why no one is skeptical.

  Know it’s not true but stay anyway

  by Elena in

  2. beliefs

  how many of the millions of jws know it’s not true but stay anyway?.

  my guess is most jws know it’s not true on a subconscious level to an extent but they don’t want to think about it too much and would never ever voice it out loud.. but this is probably true with all religions around the world?.

  Do JWs Get Excited About WT Publications Any More?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  memory from long ago: my old mate from high school lived next door to a jw and was often "treated" to the latest jw literature.

  when the "you can live forever in paradise on earth"* book came out, this neighbour waxed lyrical about how good this book was and how powerful the message was.

  he acted really keen about it, like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

  The printing era is dead..

  The Borganization is clearly shifting to an online, video religion..

  There isn't much more to get enthused about..

  Other than upcoming broadcasting,, visits or a$$emblies.

  The super PIMIs are probably getting "jaded" too.

  "JWs are under some kind of spell."

  Mind control is a dangerous, horrible thing.

  Its like monkey see monkey do.

  Or what Simon says.

  Its almost scary. Its deadly. They will do whatever the gb says. Its like a trance

  The FDS doctrine is as nonsensical as it sounds.

  It will never make any sense. Because you cant make sense out of something made up.

  Thats why it forever,,,,,changes. And,,,will keep on changing
