  vRemember Those in the Full-Time Service

  by thedog1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  forgive me if this has been posted before by somebody else but i am outraged by the wt study edition for sep 15 2014 and the study article about remembering those in full-time service.

  some choice quotes:.

  of course, some have circumstances that do not allow them to share in the ministry full-time at this point.

  Greetings thedog1

  Going door-to-door to teach religion (proselytising), instead of the liberating gospel of grace (evangelising) is morally reprehensible at best, and apostasy at worst.

  (Matt 23 esp v15. Also search "legalism" and "experiment that failed" and "custodial function" in the Watchtower library.)

  Why is it that the gospel (according to Paul, Moses, Isaiah and Psalms) can be found in the Watchtower library, but not in the hearts nor on the lips of those who follow the Watchtower hierarchy and organisation?

  How do they manage to call themselves "publishers of the Good News" whilst ignorant of it, and whilst promoting its very opposite?

  this is a very strange thing for me to do.

  i have been an active witness for over 25 years.

  i currently serve as an elder and i conduct the watchtower study.

  Best wishes on the journey thedog1.

  Great news that you've been able to step down and stay calm and steady.

  It is possible to be true to yourself and still maintain positive relationships in the family with most people if you can create a warm, loving and supportive space where it is OK to agree to disagree. Even the Watchtower literature will support following one's conscience instead of the traditions of men.

  Hubby's tempted to go back

  by jgnat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today he kept bumping in to (or rather dodging and weaving from) fellow witnesses.

  he's talking about returning but can't figure out a way to do it without enduring a fair amount of humiliation.

  i did not panic.

  One wonders how he would feel if he realised to what extent the Watchtower has betrayed his trust, and as Blondie said, if he could see the rotten core, particularly in the hierarchy...

  It seems a question to ask may be, what makes "right brain" dominant individuals leave for good, and guilt free too?

  (So called "right brain" thinking = intuitive, thoughtful, and subjective. So called "left brain" thinking = logical, analytical, and objective. Source.)

  Personally I believe there may be merit in understanding and dealing with the addiction mechanics involved, from a Psychological and Pneumatological perspective.

  I wonder if it might help him and us if there was more detail or clarity on:

  1. His reasons for going back.
  2. His reasons for not going back.

  I'm getting a strong feeling that the apostate Watchtower council of Popes will soon regret this latest brainwave of theirs.

  Somebody get that domain just as soon as *.orgy is available!

  God listens and RESPONDS to your prayer if you know how to log on to Him! Here is the proof.

  all my family members and friends (that include some elders) advised me to divorce my wife whose only joy was to pick up fight with me for everything i do, except my grand-mother who said: when you married her, you looked for only her good pointher regular pioneering despite having an opposing family.

  for being good, you will ultimately reap something far better through her.

  stick on to her.

  Hearing the voice of God means something very different to the physical versus spiritual man.

  Thank you for sharing exWTslave.

  Jesus 1000 years and Satan's 1000 years in the abyss

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the thread about satan in the abyss for 1000 years prompts a question.. jesus will rule for 1000 years.. jesus began ruling in 1914, which means his 1000 year reign will end in 2914.. satan will be abyssed for 1000 years.. if the end comes in 2020, satan will be abyssed in 2020, and then released in 3020.. what happens between 2914 and 3020?.

  honest question..

  These days I hold views in this space lightly.

  What if Jesus actually started ruling 10 days after his ascension (Pentecost 33 AD)?

  Does it make sense to be rigid about these matters when time becomes relative in 4D (just one level above our 3D world)?

  What happens to time in the 5D to 11D space and beyond?

  (Reference: Michio Kaku, his videos, and his writings, such as "Hyperspace")

  Have you ever given CoC to a JW to read? Or any other "red pill" book?

  by Captain Obvious in

  2. friends

  i recently ordered a copy of coc for my wife.

  she doesn't know it exists, but i'm hoping she's ready to read it.

  it seems to be the best red pill out there.

  I was asked to explain what the gospel is in one word, and ended up excavating fragments of the red pill from the Watchtower library, until a complete picture emerged as to what the Watchtower hierarchy was hiding from us and why.

  It only took my family 30 months to divorce the apostate Watchtower organisation, its apostate magisterium, and its apostate ruling religious clergy class.

  This decision was based solely on the huge discrepancy between what is in their publications, and what is in their hearts and on their lips, in relation to the liberating gospel of grace.

  link to the newspaper front page on bbc:.

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-28699852.

  reason i started this topic is related on how the wts/jw's will react or jump onto this piece of news.. in previous years where un or some nation condemned the vatican, jw's start jumping into conclusion the end is near the great tribulation is starting.

  Despite Rutherford teaching that all religion is a snare and a racket, JWs have been taught to instead love the apostasy of Watchtower legal council and Vice President Hayden C Covington which introduced the spurious and self-serving concepts of "true religion" and "false religion" in the early 1950's.

  (Books by Rutherford: "Religion", 1940, and "Enemies", 1937. Legal booklet by Covington: “Defending and Legally Establishing the Good News”, 1950)
