It isn't a translation issue, T.O. it is an INTERPRETATION issue. ONLY THE WATCHTOWER interprets 1 Timothy 6:4 as applying to people who leave THE Watchtower ORGANIZATION.

Should not those who protect "Mentally Diseased" be outraged?
by Greybeard inso lets say we are "mentally diseased"... where is our protection from this hate speech and mental abuse?
there are all kinds of mental institutions around the world.
edit- maybe we should all go check ourselves in saying, "jehovah, the great physician has called us "mentally diseased apostates!

Local Needs: Low Hours
by breakfast of champions inthe local needs was about low fs time in the cong.
about 1/3 of publishers are averaging 4 hours per month.
that is unprecedented in our cong, a usually 'zealous' congregation.. my take is this: if you don't believe it yourself, why are you going to waste valuable time telling others?

The entire religion is about appeasement and if you're doing enough to appease your personal version of God why would you ever do more?
There are no teeth in the unwritten "must do 10 hours service" rule. What's the punishment if you don't? A local needs talk on Thursday and you aren't "privileged" with a bunch of monkey-see, monkey-do busy work counting, carrying microphones, and turning knobs during the meetings. "Damn, that sucks; I better get my service time up. NOT."
It's the same "punishment" for skipping meetings. You are given less work to do. Ooh, scary.

Letting yourself die in a home invasion is not Watchtower policy. Like most JWs, your friend has the facts about his own organization wrong.
If you're persecuted for being a JW then you're supposed to grin and bear it. If your family is in danger then you are supposed to protect them.
JWs are nuts. If you had purchased a rifle or shotgun you'd have been ok. Because it is a handgun you're looked at as a sinner. They're nuts but it isn't their fault. They're mental captives.

Effective means of "apostasizing" at conventions and assemblies?
by stillstuckcruz ini notice most apostates will picket signs or try to place their own literature with the witnesses.
i cant see how the latter is effective since jw's are so heavily bombarded with warnings about apostate literature.
i was thinking that an effective strategy might be printing out lots of copies of older and current magazines, highlighting specific phrases and words, and stapling them together to show the obvious inconsistency of the wt.

There is no good (legal) way to deconvert a cult member. Best way to hurt the Borg is education to keep those who get DFd or fade naturally from ever returning and educate the unindoctrinated to protect them from ever joining.
There are what, 60,000 a year who are DFd from the Borg? How many of them learn that the Watchtower is not God's Organization? They ALL need to.

Some JWs are exhibiting signs of violence because of WT hate speech. Read the threat to me and others posted at Topix yesterday
by AndersonsInfo inyesterday, i opened a topix account so i could post the information about watch tower representatives attending the political ocse meeting in poland for two weeks and the proof that they are an ngo.
one of the posters responded with these words: .
"barbs-info," eh?

What happened to " vengeance is mine, I shall repay saith the Lord". What he do, give these guys his checkbook?
I have often thought that about all radical religious extremists. "What, your all-powerful God can't fight his own battles? He needs the likes of you people to kill for him? Sounds like a wuss to me."

Know what I like? I like that you put the on the "Dub snubbed" subject line. Good for you. Sad for them.
If they don't manage to discover the truth, they have another 60 years or more of broken Watchtower promises to live through, then they'll die bitter and still hoping for whatever the noo lite promise is at that time.
You, on the other hand, have another 60 years or more of freedom.
EPIC WIN, TIMMY!

Now that the S**t is hitting the fan how are the JW's reacting??
by highdose inthis article is starting to go global now i think ( please everyone keep it spreading) how are the jw's reacting to it?
i don't mean the offical spokesman statement, i mean the individual jw's that we know.. what are they saying about it?.

Exactly. If a faithful JW rejects him, he's rejecting official Borg dogma. If a faithful JW accepts him, he's obviously accepting a loony stance. It's brilliant. I wish I thought of it.
