Thank goodness for the org's insights!

w52 2/1 p. 78 par.

7 jehovah’s theocratic organization today "when christ came for judgment in 1918 (1) he found some associated with this group that thought the lord had delayed his coming and they were oppressing their fellow slaves in christ.

these were cast off as the “evil slave” class.

What made you look behind the jw curtain?

by Touchofgrey in

i was listening to a lunchtime call in radio show about jws and the personal experiences of being disfellowshiped, and a former elder called in saying he was disfellowshiped for asking about jws and their involvement in the un in the 1990s ,and he just said look it up.. thinking that it was a made up lie ,so i looked it up and it was true even a letter confirming it from the un itself and that led me here and to jwfacts and further research into the history and teachings of jw and walked out the door about 5 years ago.

I dont know what really made me look behind the "curtain" .

Generation change in mid 1990s..

WT affiliation with NGO UN between 1992 & 2001.

""The dangers of the internet" pounded into your heads all the time. I figured """ what the hell,, here goes "". Viola,,,, doubts , suspicions were set ablaze.

"Brother Jodie jenelle began his bethel service in in 1990....."

by nowwhat? in

but what they don't say he left started and ran a real estate company and a global real estate consulting firm and apparently after making a fortune come back to bethel a few years ago.

how in the hell could a non lifer now be anointed and appointed to be a gb member.

The old JW model is history

I wonder how the old school, long timer JWs who have sacrificed several decades into this Borg feel about these developments over the last few years??

I dont think " confused " would be an appropriate term. I cant think of the right words.

Blondie;

Thats because these ones are the most malleable. They're inexperienced,, vulnerable & likely easiest to manipulate.

The low- hanging fruit on the tree.

2024 Annual Meeting Doctrinal Change

by Listener in

a change to their doctrine came from jackson.

this isn't a transcript of his whole speech but i thought i would try and get some of his main speech in writing.. at around 1hr26 minutes he starts talking about some dangerous thinking in feeling there is some wiggle room in regards to the schedule for the gt.

but you see, we need to be careful about what we are thinking about the number of anointed ones left on earth.

Serious sinner?

by Gorb in

jw
friends

with the statement in the study watchtower this sunday, that stop serving jehovah is a serious sin, the following:.

- can i conclude now, that we, (i, wife and 2 children), since 2008 pomo and no longer active in any religious activity, are serious sinners for jehovahs witnesses?.

writing this in a watchtower, a statement like that, could have big implications.. it makes me so sad.

Independent thinking.

Any form of it is a breaking away of thiis us vs. them mentality..

JWs cant have it. They have to be infantilized.

Proof of two destinies for believers in the Bible, heavenly and earthly

by slimboyfat in

the jw idea that believers are destined either for heavenly life or for endless life on earth comes in for significant criticism by critics of various kinds.

even some groups, such as the christadelphians, who share belief in a future paradise earth, don’t share the view that some christians are destined for life in heaven.

yet there is surprisingly quite a lot of evidence in the bible for the existence of two distinct groups of believers.

Beth Sarim

Where JWs can't get their heads around is that Ephesians 4:4 only speaks of one hope.

When you believe something for 50 or 60 years your entire adult life,,, thats all you know are willing to know. You refuse to believe anything at all even when it smacks you upside the head.
