  Is the GB equal to God & Christ?

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  w56 6/1 p. 346 par.

  rebellion against the slave is rebellion against god.. w57 6/15 p. 370 par.

  7 - it is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the “slave” as we would to the voice of god, because it is his provision.. w10 9/15 p. 23 par.

  The Borg places the GB above God and Jesus Christ. Even when they claim to ''err' and are ''infallible''.

  GB voice of Jesus....

  a short sweet video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ekihoczyfg she put a link to the whole video if you care to watch.

  here is the thing that came to my mind: by isolating just that part, the part sounds rather hubris, shocking, audacious.

  when the jw hear it couched in a talk and woven in with scriptures, they will take it in without giving a real thought as to what is really being said..

  WE have Geofrey Jackson lying to the Australain Royal Commision that ''that would be presumptious''. Then this video comes out about Jesus being equivalent to the governing body.

  How can the rank and file JW be obliviously blind to all of this. It's called ''mind control''.

  Christmas Decorations at the Kingdom hall

  by Simon in

  2. experiences

  i can't remember if i've told this story before .... but back in the day, in irlam congregation (northwest england, uk, cheshire #1 circuit i think) we used to rent a kingdom hall for many years before we eventually built our own.. preston hall.

  ah, the memories .... it was primarily used as a community hall for old folks, but we had it friday night and sunday morning.. there was a loft and fold-out ladder and we used to store the chairs up their.

  every meeting, there would be an assembly line of all the "lads" to pass the chairs down and set them up, then collect them up and pass them back up at the end of the meeting.

  ""As I understand it, the Xmas at the WTS HQ picture was kept quiet until Ray Franz mentioned it (and showed it) in CoC. Then the society made mention of the early days, when they celebrated Xmas, and also showed the picture. I wonder if it would have ever been mentioned, had Franz not done so. My guess is no.""

  My guess is 100% '''NO'' also. Of course, not.

  Why are JW's THIS blind?

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i had a conversation about this 22 carat gold contradiction with a couple of zealous jw's a couple of days ago.. even their personal "explanations" contradicted each other as they tried justify their cognitive dissonance!.

  an absolute delight to witness such absurdity.. "after all, no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world.

  the unrighteous must have practiced these vile things [john 5:29] before their death.

  Willful blindness. Or, sunk cost fallacy. Likely both.

  .....for a religion which boasts their ''God'' will 'ruin those ruining the Earth'. They cause a lot of environmental impacts.

  Like cutting - down trees & pollution and stuff.

  Predict JW life in future

  a sister said the other day at the ministry group “”what is all this talk that the end is still some way off” she said she has been waiting for decades and she was told there is no way it would take this long.

  some others said in an annoyed kind of way yes they would have made different decisions decades ago if they knew the end still would not have come by 2023.. how will the majority react in a few more decades time when the end still hasn’t come?.

  why all that talk of sense of urgency decades ago?.

  Not in JW reality.
