  disfellowshipping

  by Sabin in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  if disfellowshipping was to be done away with, aside from the authorities that should be informed of child abuse so it may be dealt with legally, how should these one`s be dealt with within the congregations?.

  @truthseeker100 Island man has a good point because wbts wont be destroyed and so harm reduction is the way to go. It would improve the quality of life for many members of this forum for a start.

  bible right, bible wrong, and off topic: bethel abasement believable.

  by prologos in

  1. social
  2. current

  looking at the eclipse today, 1) bible confirmed, the shadow on the moon shows it is hung on nothing, (no ropes showing either).-- 2) bible proven wrong, no pillars of the earth job 9:6 projected against the moon .

  no four corners of the earth either, not a flat disk on the horizon either.

  rumor confirmed: canadian bethel workers aware they might be curtailed too, even if it is cheap to run the georgetown operation with the government picking up the tab for healthcare etc.

  yes prologos, the jews were (still are)big on astronomy for obvious reasons, its very obvious when you look at the shadow the earth produces on the moon the earth is round. Also the word specifically meant round not sphere.

  The greek Eratosthenes conducted a fairly simple experiment to demonstrate around 300 bc that the earth was in fact a sphere anyway. Probably around the time some of the hebrew scriptures were written.

  "Billions now living will all die"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yep, everyone who has ever lived has died.... and witnesses teach that every nonwitness deserves to be killed at armageddon ..... how many are born each day?

  yet, how many become witnesses each day?.

  so the longer it takes for armageddon come, the more people will die?

  heaven For one thing, these people are naked. GASP!

  And....they don't care! Yes, the shame of nudity is just another human (cultural)construct ...like religon!

  NB Yes delay armaggedeon to bring a few more into the watchtower, nevermind that each year that goes by adds millions more for God to kill - the maths don't add up at least not to a rational, compassionate being

  by Aleph in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here in france we received instruction to stand back from the cart.. so you can see "angels" witnessing with a cart by its own, no one around, and no one cares, i stayed a while, did my shopping, and half an hour later the "poor angel" was still there on his own.... i guess wherever is the publisher, he s hard working counting his hours..

  A MODERN FICTION: the lie which became a GOVERNING BODY

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  safe to say, if you walked up to any of the 8 million jehovah's witnesses on earth today and told them the.

  governing body was a fiction, not only would they refuse to believe you--they'd consider you their immediate enemy!.

  what if i told you jw's embrace a mental construct which is at odds with history?.

  All must be ready to obey...

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in view of the recent financial pressures being spun as opportunities to hasten armageddon, i think we should look again at the meaning behind their cultic warning of "all must be ready to obey intructions, whether appearing sound or not".

  by dripping these creepy injunctions into the watchtower study and therefore into the conditioned and receptive mind of the jw, how long will it be before they are able to decree something like this?......

  Question: What would it take to get the BORG'S tax exempt status REVOKED?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've always wondered about this.

  i've always felt the main reason the borg made publishers do time slips/field service reports was to show that they are doing a community service to justify their tax exempt status.

  we all know about their money grabs with the kh build scams, their selling off millions of dollars in real estate, etc.

  Brooklyn Layoffs and Halt to Kingdom Hall construction projects

  by James Jack in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.

  Wow that is infamous - they say that in the end, despite all the logical, rational reasons for making ttatt "your own", it's usually an emotional reaction to something that wakes you up in the end.

  Well this obnoxious recording was my emotional reaction, it sickened me to the core that a co religonist of mine could make such a speech with no shame.
