I believe it is, since I have personally witnessed a seemingly similar demonstration, as in the YouTube videos one finds when searching YouTube for:

Oddly enough though it is possible to trawl through the apostate Watchtower library for a surprising array of fragments of the liberating gospel message. It is as if there are opposing factions in the cult.

*** w79 12/15 pp. 5-6 How Powerful Is The Good News? ***
This “good news” is primarily the message that salvation or everlasting life is possible on the basis of genuine faith in the atoning benefits of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, and that God’s kingdom by Christ will bring all things on earth into perfect unity with the holy heavens.

*** w11 6/15 p. 7 par. 3 There Is Good News That All Need ***
Could it be, though, that we might give little attention to a key aspect of the good news that people need? In the letter to the Romans, the apostle Paul used the word “kingdom” only once, but he used the expression “good news” 12 times. (Read Romans 14:17.) What aspect of the good news did Paul refer to so often in that book? Why is that particular good news vital? And why should we keep it in mind as we preach “the good news of God” to people in our territory?

*** w11 6/15 p. 14 par. 13 God Recommends His Love to Us ***
It is not that God owed it to the apostles and others to apply the ransom because they had performed certain good works. Instead, God applied the ransom in their behalf out of his mercy and great love. He chose to acquit the apostles and others of the judgment against them, viewing them as absolved of inherited guilt. Paul made that plain: “By this undeserved kindness, indeed, you have been saved through faith; and this not owing to you, it is God’s gift.”—Eph. 2:8

Borrowed from scripture and then twisted beyond recognition to support a doomsday cult.

The term "the truth" appears 85 times in the NWT. 72 of these occurrences are in the NT.

In the NT "the truth" refers to a person (Jesus) and the detailed liberating message (gospel) about him.

"The truth" in scripture is the very opposite of what the apostate Watchtower ruling religious clergy class actively promote: legalism, moralism, ethnocentrism, clericalism and magisterium.

What imposters forget about our messiah complex is the pariah part which naturally follows...

Evolution and spirits
by Chris Tann in
1. watchtower
2. bible
as of now iam making an unbiased examination of evolution.

however one thing keeps me hanging on to the belief of a supreme spirit being; the existence of spirits.

i have heard countless accounts of people who have experienced frightening encounters with evil forces.
Fernando

Whilst never having seen a spirit being I have certainly encountered their work, presence and persona in the Pharisees (religious leaders).

I find the "militant ignorance" and "malignant self-righteousness" of the Pharisees to be powerful evidence of the work and thinking of evil spirit beings.

I do not believe we humans are able to achieve the extreme levels of fanaticism, fundamentalism, sectarianism and irrationality which we have, completely unaided.

Would YOU Have Refused Blood To Remain Faithful To Your JW Beliefs?

i believe that most witnesses would refuse blood to show their faithfulness to jehovah's law on blood transfusions....( that sounds silly, huh?).

Before awakening, sure.

I am very thankful I never had to.

i have been lurking on this site for many years.

i rarely post anything, because my english isnt the best and not sure if anyone understands.

i just recently had a run in with an elder, have not seen him in a few years.
Fernando

If you ever really HAVE to go against your better judgment and the good advice given above, you'd be surprised just how blind and ignorant these so-called "elders" are when asked a few well chosen "simple" questions...

When did the last days start ?
by raymond frantz in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
somewhere hidden well within the jw.org exists an article about the last days of the last days of the jewish system of things .when did the last days of the jewish system of things start was it at the pentecost or before that ?

is that important when we compare jesus' days our days as a way to find what will initiate them ?

i wrote a small post in relation to this any extra valid information towards this will be much appreciated.
Fernando

Didn't some rather dramatic events at the time of Jesus' death indicate abandonment of the physical temple, in other words the end of the Jewish system?

what is the perfect product to sell to a jw?.

cheap?.

exclusive?.
Fernando
Everything they are buying from the apostate Watchtower Organisation?:
- organisational salvation
- baptismal salvation
- self-righteousness
- hypocrisy
- works-righteousness
- a VISIBLE golden calf as pseudo-mediator (GB/FDS/JW.org)
- clericalism (an authoritarian hierarchy)
- legalism (rules)
- moralism (more rules)
- ethnocentrism (supremacist doctrine)
But of course if it is about a quick buck then one would have to go with what joe134cd said is hot at this time.
