DAY of DOOM: Armageddon Comes for the WatchTower--- April 5, 2011

by cameo-d in

my speculation comes from something that conspiracy theorists know as an illuminati ritual called "revelation of method".

it is when symbols and indications are given ahead of time, (revealed in movies, television shows, etc.

) of something that is planned.

1975, generation change and New Light - the WTBTS position

by Nickolas in

the words below are taken from the latest version of the watchtower bible and tract society's history book.

it is a response i have received from a jehovah's witness to my questions about how the watchtower bible and tract society represented the year 1975 and recent changes in generation teaching.

beyond saying there are some interesting insights into the society's position on new light, i will withhold comment until i get some feedback from the board.. the bible itself says: do not interpretations belong to god?

In the bible, when god had something he wanted people to do, he was very exact. Noah's ark, the temple, leading the Israelites out of Egypt, ark of the covenant etc. Why now is he so ambiguous with "his people"?

i have just found this out and this is why my family are suddenly 100% shunning me.

it won't get me to go back to the cult, but it will result in a very lonley old man not seeing his 4 grandkids ever again.

what a waste!

It's from here it looks like. I think I read this here somewhere.

READERS, PLEASE MAKE AND SHARE COPIES OF THIS LETTER!

NEWS RE EARLY OCTOBER 2010 ANNUAL WATCHTOWER MEETING: Four members of the Governing Body were present. These were not named but in the past have included Gerritt Loesch, David Splane, Samuel Herd; John/Jack Barr now about age 99.

1. The Governing Body will be emphasizing in 2011 that those with ExJW kids who quit Watchtower (or really anyone including dad's ...and mom's who quit WT) are not to be socializing with them under the provision of doing "necessary family business," so as to better get them to want to return to WT. (Anointed JWs outside WT had recommended active JWs use this provision as an act of moderation but the Gov Body opposes regular JWs listening to non-Gov Body anointed ones)

2. WT complained many older JWs are telling younger ones they regret not getting an education or having a retirement plan. Watchtower says such older ones are like the murmurers of ancient Israel. (This is an attack on both the young and the old of JWs. Loesch expressed great contempt of higher ed at a convention)

3. There will be an easy English version of WT magazine for lands where English is a major second language. People attending halls in Haiti increased enormously after the earthquake there.(The easy English magazine version will attract even more of the less educated who do not know much English. It may be part of Gov Body member Morris' influence as he has been in translation; he and his wife WT missionaries.)

4. Very significantly in the previously more liberal Writing Department, the hardliner Gov Body member David Splane will succeed elderly, frail Gov Body member Barr who was known as relatively friendly. (This totally seals control by hardliner conservatives)

5. Bethelites will be sent out to shadow along with the District Overseers and their wives. (Baltar447 has noted that at a 2 day Circuit Assembly, a D.O. had said the Bible's guidelines are all we need, we don't have a Talmud of rules, must use our own conscience, the Bible itself can be read for family worship night. So WT wants to end what is seen as dangerous teachings by such D.O.s.)

6. Recently deceased Gov Body member Ted Jaracz's "Ministerial Training School" is being replaced by so-called Bible schools for singles and married couples. (Under the guise of "Bible" learning, more WT operatives will be trained to efficiently do even more policing of everybody ranging from family Bible study nights into the bedrooms)

7. The numerous worldwide branch closings are not just to save money but for efficiency. Many more will be closed. (Significantly Loesch is nicknamed Mr. Efficiency. He thus appears in overall control along with Splane, favors a "iron rod in a velvet glove" approach. Barr is not dead but they have now moved him to the side.) Please mail some copies of this to active JWs too.

(edit to add: it looks like this site takes posts from ex-jw boards and consolidates them at one place.)
