Nov 2014 WT, much about nothing, or is it?

by Quarterback in

the article "why we must be holy" ties in obedience as being holy.

there is a subheading in this article that states " prove yourselves holy by being obedient".

par 9 quotes three brothers who had some conflicts, but they went along with the org.

Holy=Behavioral control in WT world.

Just another article to enforce behavioral do's and don'ts.

A biggie I noticed, from paragraph 5.

A heartrending experience for Aaron’s family is recorded at Leviticus 10:1-11. They must have been devastated when fire from heaven consumed

Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu at the tabernacle. What a test of faith it was for Aaron and his family not to mourn their dead relatives! Are you personally

proving yourself holy with regard to not associating with family members or others who have been disfellowshipped?

LOL designs!

Sucks if you don't get there early. Standing for hours and listening to WT drivel. I'd rather just die.

stupid statement in watchtower about appointments of elders

by hoser in

after going through all the processes of how they appointed elders in the past they say this:.

"the elders in turn would inform the newly appointed men of their appointment, asking them if they were willing and actually qualified to accept the assignment.

so after qualifying the man you ask him if he is qualified.. .

Article also says the CO will try to go out in FS with the potential candidates.

Serious brownosers will have an advantage.

Ha ha, the great tribulation doesn't look so bad after all, no more meeting clothes, and maybe even goodie night makes a comeback!

E-Watchman? Thoughts?

by thedepressedsoul in

i stumbled upon the website e-watchman today and while i didn't have time to read over everything i found this thoughts so far quite interesting.

recently when reading matthew i can't help but feel that jesus warnings about the pharisees also applied to the gb and elders.

actually everytime jesus brought them up i realized how similar they are.

GB member visits Bolton--UK

ive pasted the following from a uk xjw facebook page.:.

i found out last night that thursday,just gone, a member of the gb came to rosehill congregation in bolton to tell them the gb will now be more active and a more prominent part of their lives, this is to build trust and make it so when they revel new direction in the future, people don't push against them and they follow them.

it's a long shot shot but what are the chances he will be at any other meeting in this district this sunday and how can i find out?.

Well isn't that special? Its not like these guys don't already control who they talk to, where they go twice a week, the kinds of jobs they have, how much education they get, what they can and cannot celebrate, oh and how freaky they are allowed to get in the bedroom.

Just Curious About Something

sorry,couldn't think of a better title for this post,without it being long.. i was thinking this morning,if ex-jws, who were born into the group less likely to join another religion after leaving.

vs. the witnesses who belonged to a church before joining the religion.. from my own prespective,being raised a witness,i have no intention of joining any religion.

and it seems that born-ins are less likely to join a religion after leaving the cult.. in my own experience,i think it's religious burn-out to tell the truth.

Born in here, Watchtower does a great job of poisoning the well. Once you realize they are fake too, I had little desire to tie myself into another church.

If God is up there, he's gotta be laughing his ass off at all of the people running into buildings over and over to constantly tell him that he's "da man".

Not Thinking It Through part 2

by donny in

recently i was going through some of my old storage boxes and came across my 1988 copy of the watchtower issued book "revelation.

its grand climax at hand!".

as i flipped through its pages i was reminded how blinded i was in regards to rational thinking.

LostGeneration

Thanks. I was recently appointed an elder when we studied that book for what, the fifth time???

I remember going through the motions with the group. Everyone was lost like we were studying Greek for the first time. There was one guy in our group who simply had this look of disdain at the study, he left with his family a year before I fully woke up. I know now that he knew it was all bull---- as we were going through the motions.

So many zombies still stuck inside. I really hope they can find the courage to get out.
