  "Be Generous" caleb cartoon

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anybody see the new cartoon?

  the girl has a quarter and is going to get an ice cream but then puts it in the contribution box instead.

  the gb want to make sure they guilt and suck the kids meager allowances dry as well and prep them as they grow up to keep giving!

  It would have been much better if they'd shown her wanting to buy an ice cream and then seeing another child without one and buying the other child an ice cream and watching the pleasure on the other child's face, More realistic and in my opinion a lot more effective in teaching a child about generosity.

  @Tornapart

  that's an excellent lesson that could help children see the meaning of compassion and caring, thanks for your very nice and wise idea.

  On the other hand, the WT's lesson leaves one with a bad taste. To deny a child a moment of happiness for the greedy profit of an organization is immoral. Shame on the WT and their whole hierarchy!

  "Apostate" is anything or anyone who stands in opposition to anything currently taught as Truth(c) by the WT hierarchy. Christendom is "apostate", so is any news source daring to publish any news negative of the WT/JW 0rganization.

  LisaRose said:

  You are correct that the word apostate, (which is not even found in the bible btw),

  The word "apostate" appears in numerous verses and in numerous versions of the Bible:

  TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again

  by Designer Stubble in

  2. bible

  guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.

  david spane does his best to explain it again.

  the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

  EXACTLY Why JW's Are NOT Christian

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a lot of people, ex-jws, believers and unbelievers alike, think that jw's are just a somewhat kooky brand of christianity.

  is it possible to "try and follow jesus" and not be christian?

  what exactly makes someone a christian?

  Cyprian 200 - 258 AD.

  @Perry

  Cyprian reads like an organizational nut. He's hell bent on hierarchy and following men.

  In my view JW's and Mormons are as Christian as any Catholic, Orthodox, Calvinist or Messianic Jews. They are all humans claiming to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. No one to my knowledge can claim to do this to perfection.

  It is when people place themselves as the only representatives and intermediaries or vicars for Christ that they start to abuse ecclesiastical office and misuse power causing suffering and discord among Christian believers.

  That would bring us nicely to a 1975 style crescendo in 2034 and then a big let down with a 1976 style reorganizing at HQ like in the days of Knorr/Franz and the GB usurpers gang. Maybe a charismatic new leader/womanizer/boozer like Joe Rutherford will take over for the GB 2.0 become the official JW.0rg webmaster and declare a new overlap on the overlapping continuum.

  Geoffrey Jackson's Golden Apple watch INVESTIGATED

  by C0ntr013r in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.

  the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .

  the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.

  Today's meeting & WT 7/2015 study "Work to enhance the spiritual paradise"

  by Mrs. Eden in

  2. experiences

  so, much against my inclination, i went to the meeting this sunday morning.

  just starting to fade, but i needed to do it so that it doesn't look like my hubby turned my head during last week's vacations.

  since i'm not just disappearing cold turkey, i went.

  Right you are, Mrs. Eden.

  I still attend as well, and wish I could fade even more if not for my family and especially my very WT loyal wife. So you're a blessing to your husband by being awake to the wiles of the JW(b)organization. But I continue to be Christian believer, perhaps more so than when mentally subjugated to the WT doctrines.

  The works Jesus expected from his disciples and the basis of the judgment is how we give help and attention to those in need, and not how much literatrash or indoctrinating videos and studies we put out there.

  CoC was quite an eye-opener into the workings of the WT hierarchy. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, as I and many folks here did when first reading it.

  During the WT study today I didn't pay attention to much, except how wrong they are about a spiritual temple, Christians are themselves the building stones of that temple, our bodies are a temple of God. I just sat and read In Search of Christian Freedom by Ray Franz on my Kindle, that was far more spiritually enriching than anything brought out by the WT. After you've read CoC I'd recommend ISoCF too!
