What is Your Favorite WT Lie?

by Sea Breeze in

i would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.

surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.

my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.

Or here how about this one by a JW lawyer;

""We dont shun, normal family relationships continue"".

Just screams lie !!!! Ahhh caught.

When out in field service I remember as a young sapling of a kid hearing the householder being told ""we are not here to change your religion"".

Then I had this thought rolling around in my head "" then what the F are we in service for then?"".

Historian and former JW Jim Penton dies

by slimboyfat in

i don’t know a lot about james penton but i think he deserves a better thread than the one currently on offer.

james penton, who died recently, grew up in a jw family in canada and served as an elder.

unusually for a jw, he studied liberal arts at university and became a history professor.

WT society has secretly hidden things in its passed which were not meant to be published.

We should be ever thankful & grateful people like Penton released these books. Forever in their debt.

Barbara & Joe Anderson are talking about James Pentons books on SixSreens.

Jehovah's Witness's and the Third Reich mentioned.

They'r commenting how instrumental that book is.

You start to have a very different perspective on a group who was persecuted. But who's leader actually ingratiated themselves with their captor.

Again,,,its a very sad week about Dr Pentons passing. Depressed.

Trump wins

by gavindlt in

i am non political and have never voted but nonetheless i have been keenly watching to see how the trump presidential race unfolds.

i believe that his involvement in propelling or influencing a leaning toward bible prophecy will unfold.

how, i can’t say but something tells me that this anomaly and outlier being trump is highly signifiant!

JW WOMAN VOLUNTEER CRUSHED BY A WALL AT A KINGDOM HALL PROJECT

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/1skm8riz7qc?si=ww3ej9orl_91db4w.

the construction of a new jehovah’s witnesses kingdom hall in cybinka, poland, has once again shed light on the watchtower organization’s relentless drive to expand its real estate empire on the backs of unpaid, vulnerable volunteers.

every day, around 40 jehovah’s witnesses show up at the construction site, some traveling long distances, not for pay or proper protection, but to fulfill a sense of “spiritual duty” instilled by the organization.

That is truly " terrible".

Vanderhoven;

They have to ' change ' something about their stance & policies.

They have to ""seem" like a gentler, kinder & nicer religion in order to receive government subsidies.

Penton books were up there with the works of Raymond Franz & Carl O Jonson.

Instrumental & extremely helpful.

GB's latest prophecy is already wrong!!!

by nowwhat? in

at the annual meeting they said god will put it into the nations hearts to give their power to the united nations.

now that trump and the republicans have won, the united states will never give up their sovereignty to the u.n. !

trump has total disdain for the un, who and wef!
