  The Characterization of most Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Mr.Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after years of being with jws you start to see a certain developmental characterization of most jws, particularly from elders who have the most power in each congregation.

  .

  the ideology follows along the route of holding up a white sheet over the entire organization, as well each identified individual member (brothers and sisters) which no doubt most jws will inevitably exploit toward themselves.. i personally recognized what hypocrisy was at young age from seeing and being around jws at the kingdom halls and what they were like away from the halls.. there is forced pretentiousness at play which comes out by jws.. having being reminded repetitively that god almighty sent his only begotten son to redeem their sins probably had some relevant connection.. there was no question to the fact that jws are associated with delusions, anxiety, fear, ignorance, subsided with prejudice against others who are not recognized as being active jws .. we are the most righteous chosen ones as it were and that self recognizance goes deep into the jws's consciousness in their daily living.

  Guns...Are You For or Against Legally Owning Them?

  by minimus in

  there is a surge going on of people buying guns, especially first time buyers.

  with talk of police defunding and rioting in the neighborhoods, some people want to protect themselves.. do you support owning and using a gun if needed?.

  Americans forget [or were never correctly informed, much like JWs regarding the bible], that the 2nd amendment was created specifically to allow the citizens of the USA to have a revolution. Never intended as a way to protect life and property, that was just a bonus benefit of having the right to overthrow the government if the citizens felt that was in order.

  J.W's and " but that is Pagan !".

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there have been a number of threads touching on this before, leolaia for one, back in the day when we had many an erudite poster, showed the pagan origins of many things, including the passover , and by extension, the jw " memorial".. what prompted my thought on this was a conversation i had the other day with a young lady, never a jw, who said the jw stance on birthday celebrations, was groundless and cruel.. i thought later that jw's do a " pick and mix " as usual, as they do with so many other things, on what they condemn as "pagan" and what they accept and practice.. the institution of marriage itself is pagan, marriages were performed long before the bible was written, and long before the nation of israel was formed.

  yet jw's perform marriages, use the veil, and the ring, all pagan.

  the names of the days of the week, the months of the year, all pagan.. i guess you guys can think of many more things ?

  If you think rationally about it, it would seem that

  Paganism is impossible to avoid because each society has a local culture that it projects based on what people have latched onto as far as available spices and food, housing design, comfortable and functional clothing, recreational activities and such.

  I would argue that it is paganism wearing a suit and tie with laced up matching shoes. Dressing in early 20th century American attire and then going door to door projecting that image in all gatherings [worship?] and recruitment efforts.

  What if the culture in another land wears loafers, wooden shoes, sandals, boots or whatever? Judged pagan?

  How about wearing anything else? If you have ever gotten corrected of your attire, it's probably because of pagan/cultural norms of the JW society.

  'Lying for the Truth' AKA Theocratic Warfare

  Awful that the WTS uses Lying for the Truth [aka theocratic warfare] on its' own members as well as new recruits or critics.

  just wanted to put this out there for any lurkers.. as someone that grew up during the 70s and 80s, we were promised that we would be in the first picture long ago.

  if you are still on the fence, please let this sink in for a while..

  Expectation- Pastor Russell restored the lost and true faith from the earliest Christian beliefs and traditions.

  Reality- Just another one of 40,000 Christian sects started by some guy or gal that is just as corrupted as the other 39,999

  Smitty3 Because the Jehovah`s Witness religion offers absolutely no help whatsoever of a practical nature to any of their members young or old.

  That's why there are no fruits from the WTS. You could never get good fruit from an org that promotes lying. Lying not only to possible critics, but lying to it's own members for recruitment and retention. No fruits what so ever, yet people remain. Quite perplexing,,,,,

  Was Mary Magdalene an apostle?

  by neat blue dog in

  2. beliefs

  the new article about mary magdalene says:.

  the catholic church calls mary .

  “the apostle of the apostles” because she was the first to bring news of jesus’ resurrection to the apostles.

  Never was Mary M or any other Mary or any woman an apostle...No offense, it just didn't happen that way.

  Women have a huge role in Christianity, but priesthood isn't part of it, ..historically speaking anyway

  Should you believe in the trinity was a booklet that sounded very scholarly.....

  instead, it was so dishonest that it was pulled out of circulation and you hear nothing of it anymore.
