  Paranoia after today's Watchtower

  by Truthexplorer in

  2. experiences

  boy oh boy did i feel paranoid at today's wt.

  not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.

  this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.

  I heard the video posted and those at bethels, that is NOT just a job. They have 'established' residency. So there are eviction laws, etc, I'd love to see one fight and make them go through the full process. They need the advanced days, they can dispute, etc. If somebody has 'established residency' they can't just tell them, "okay you gotta go now".

  I for one just for curiosity sake would love to hear what made you go back (if you did) and get back out again. I'm sure some might be thinking what you were and your experience would be good to share.

  The most proof that the WT was directed by Holy Spirit was when they dropped a teaching/prediction immediately before it actually came true!

  by EndofMysteries in

  2. beliefs

  i don't have the exact articles offhand but russell taught the jews would be grouped back and have israel again.

  after he died and rutherfords failed predictions, he decided to cut that belief saying it was all symbolic.

  they dropped that belief then it ends up happening.

  Yup! Can't believe that for Rutherfords ENTIRE reign, they taught holy spirit was gone. That Jesus returned so holy spirit no longer needed. THAT is how it became that one can only know 'the truth' through them, because he admitted previously holy spirit could teach ANYBODY.

  When he died and knorr took over, slowly holy spirit was put back in EXCEPT they never commented on it and for some reason only GB could get it.

  So since the WT was wrong on angels and it going away, I'd love to see the article on how everybody gets holy spirit and can learn the scriptures on their own to only through them.

If holy spirit was directing anything, it obviously didn't want people to believe in them so made them drop what would have been their only correct prediction ever.

  Hey! Great post and I enjoyed hearing about how it is in Mormom church and it's VERY similar with JWs.

  The part you mentioned on new members getting love, same with JW's, the love bombing. Then eventually as well after they are official then it wears off and expected to do as all others. The order is the same, and they call ex members apostates or disfellowshipped and those who never been JW's before, those in the world, instead of gentiles are called 'worldly'.

  I'll write more later or feel free to message me, I gotta go now but thought I'd at least get started in the comparison for you.

  I do want to ask on the Mormon belief of the future, etc. What is the belief of Earth? And the afterlife? I heard something along the lines of Earth is a testing ground and those who pass become a god and get to rule over a planet?

  What it means is that the GB and the few left remaining will use all the money coming in from the congregation promises and banks to live in luxury, traveling the world first class, first class hotels, restaurants, etc, while giving occasional talks and publishing everything online and having everybody print their own literature.

  Wait he's homeless? Maybe he was one of the career bethelites lovingly sent home. He put the org first, never got married, never had kids, donated his inheritence to the borg, and now sent home with the only skill of washing windows finds himself homeless.

  So elders will call the police if their cars are getting smashed up but not if a child is getting molested
