  Superb advice from the WTBTS!

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  2. beliefs

  (insight vol.

  the reader must put his heart into it, be absorbed in study of the material, meditate deeply upon it, and seek to benefit from it personally.pr 15:28; 1ti 4:13-16; mt 24:15" this is a fascinating statement from the insight volume.

  i accept that "the help of god's spirit is necessary for real discernment and understanding of god's word.

  Ironic isn't it?

  One of the exercises I did when I was leaving was to apply the things the WTS was writing about other groups/people/organizations to the WTS itself. Talk about an eye opener.

  Little "oops" in today's WT Study article.

  paragraph 12 recommends that we meditate on the weekly reading for the theocratic ministry school.

  ok, i'm splitting hairs here.

  but there will be no more tms in a week.. somebody isn't keeping up with jehovah's celestial chariot..

  I'm sure the WT was written at least 9 months ago, maybe closer to a year.

  And what happened this year? Oh that's right, the ARC. And along with that a lot of questions and new requirements are being put out their by progressive governments about "schools". Who can work in them, background checks on people, etc.

  I'm 99% convinces the rearrangement of these deck chairs for the mid-week meeting were simply to get the name "school" out of the program, thus an end-around any governmental authority.

  Why they even bother to report the partakers I don't know. They've already demonized them as mentally retarded, and ripped their status as part of the FDS.

  What's the point anymore?

  all that jesus spoke about in matthew 24 was fulfilled in the first century.

  all of jesus' warnings in that passage were relevant only to natural jews.

  Well Jesus returned in kingdom glory within the lifetime of his first disciples. Revelation 1:7 features a message John was given to inform first century Christians to behold (Look out for) the then coming King on the clouds.

  Or John found some of the shrooms on Patmos, I like that story better.

  put aside all the stupid rules,beliefs,doctrines and practices of the jehovah's witnesses.this is one of the main reasons why i stopped attending all meetings!

  I believe their failure to deliver CONTENT over the last two decades is really at the root of what we are seeing now.

  People demand to be either entertained, or educated when they are spending their free time. The meetings fail miserably on both counts. I'm not sure how often they are dragging out the TVs now, but I'm sure the troops love at least a few minutes away from the boring drones on stage.

  What made you turn atheist or agnostic?

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you were a jw and are now an atheist or agnostic, what was the tipping point that made you turn to it?.

  the reason i ask is i have noticed that many who leave the jw's seem to turn to atheism, versus still having some form of a faith.

  have many of you given up on god first or have you had atheistic views first and then found atheism to be true.

  JWs poison the well on all other religions fairly well, that was a good starting point for me.

  After deconstructing JW beliefs, I applied the same tests to Christianity. It failed miserably in every area.

  Beards galore at the Assembly

  ok, at our recent assembly, i noticed that there were quite a lot of brothers wearing beards.

  not just the older dudes, but right across a range of ages, young men, middle aged men and older men.

  is watchtower beginning to relax this rule at last?

  Does Jehovah Intervene - JW Teaching

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been a jw my whole life and i have never been able to get a clear answer on this question.

  jw's do not believe that jehovah will intervene if someone is sick, dying or stopping a car crash.

  they feel that jehovah is letting "this world" play out before he solves all of these problems.

  JWs and all other religions simply don't apply the logical rule - if your going to give God the credit, you also have to give him the blame.

  For JWs, all that were obedient to the blood policy and lived, Jah gets the credit. If they die, he should get the blame. Its that simple.
