  More JW left ideology examples

  by neat blue dog in

  2. beliefs

  the latest gb update ramps up the fear of the plandemic even more, and introduces a whiteboard animation that advocates staying at home, wearing masks and social distancing.. https://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&category=latestvideos&item=pub-jwb_202012_12_video&docid=1011214&applanguage=e.

  then there's another 'save the planet' type article that mentions debunked and unrealistic green new deal-esque talking points such as alternative energy, switching to a plant based diet and less manufacturing.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/peace-happiness/save-earth/.

  The science says that staying away from others will help you avoid the commie cough. What the watchtower and mainstream media won’t tell you is how dangerous this virus is(or isn’t). A disease so severe that many people don’t even know they have until they are tested. How many people have had the rona and never knew? Disclaimer: If you are in a high risk group or have loved ones that are please be safe.

  Someone said”never let a good pandemic go to waste”. When this passes by and CNN finds some other disaster to fill their news cycle the governing body will be able to make the claim that Jehovah was directing their actions and by following their direction the congregation was protected. Send us more money please.

  I’ve ran out of fingers and toes to count the closed congregations in my part of the world. What they have reported for the last 20 years doesn’t make sense.

  Should A Covid Stimulus Bill Be Helping Other Countries?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think it should simply be there to help us citizens.

  and besides giving money to other countries, stop giving money to the arts and entertainment..... give money to help taxpayers struggling with debt .

  period!!!

  I think that countries should work for their foreign aid. Any money sent to overseas governments may or may not help the average citizen.

  We (Canada) have a temporary foreign worker policy. People come over to do the jobs we Canadians don’t want to do anymore. Pick vegetables, work in the honey farms, work at fast food joints and as workers in care homes and hospitals.

  This is the best form of foreign aid. These workers send a lot of money home and it goes directly to the people who need it, not some corrupt politicians. It is a win, win situation as we are short of labour and it contributes to both our economy and theirs.

  As a JW Were You or Someone you Knew Falsely Accused by Elders ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thought i'd put this out there to see if you knew of people in the jehovah's witnesses who were falsely accused or mistreated by the " police " or elders in the congregation.

  many times it's been by experiencing injustices that get us to get shaken out of our cult thinking mode and reality kicks in and the scales fall from our eyes that the wt society is just a man made organization whose leaders are no better than us - actually in many cases more unscrupulous and conniving than any of us would have ever been to each other !

  i was falsely accused 2 times .

  In one of our neighbouring congregations there was a gestapo elder. He would scope out houses of single brothers and sisters. A sisters car was parked in front of her boyfriends house all night because he was taking in to the shop where he worked as a mechanic to do some repairs. They had switched vehicles so he could work on hers. Of course elder stasi observed this and called together a jc.

  Are You Satisfied To Let The Government Take Care of You?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  some people want limited government involvement in their lives.

  the less government, the happier they are.

  others feel there’s not enough government intervention.

  Altruistic people think we can all live and love like hippies sharing everything we have with one another.

  It works until someone thinks someone else isn’t doing their fair share of the work.

  That’s why there is this magical thing called money. If you work hard and smart enough you can have more of the stuff. Why should one bust their ass so that his fellow man can sit on his?

  AM3: Scare your kids into the truth

  by neat blue dog in

  2. beliefs

  anthony morris iii on the 12/20 broadcast:.

  parents need to give their children a realistic idea of what we will face in the near future.. .

  .many parents choose to help their children appreciate the graphic visual imagery of a bible-based account while at the same time building trust in jehovah.

  Kinda like when the circuit overseer gives his talk to the congregation. “We’re not trying to make you feel guilty” then he proceeds to make people feel guilty

  the watchtower—study edition | july 2020.

  6. the first-century disciples built their faith on their knowledge of the scriptures and the teachings of jesus christ, that is, “the truth of the good news.” (gal.

  2:5) this truth consists of the whole body of christian teachings, including the facts about jesus’ ransom sacrifice and his resurrection.

  Watchtower articles are written to lead you to the conclusion they want. It’s a salesman tactic designed to sell you on an idea.

  the breaking news in canada today is the rollout of the pfizer/biontech vaccines.

  perhaps we can put this pandemic nightmare to bed soon.. i hate to rain on the parade, but we yet are not clear of any allergic reactions, side effects there might be as they roll out.

  but, just have to wait and see...to state the obvious.

  The fear of being disfellowshipped is the glue that holds the organization together.

  The problem with Capitalism!---Billionaires

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  as imperfect and flawed capitalism is, it has worked better than other forms of economic and political systems-so far.

  it’s very simple in “theory.” capitalism is an economic and-or, political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

  in other words, keep government out of it as much as possible.

  It is up to local government to enact and enforce labour law to protect workers rights. Ultimately it is in the best interest of the billionaires to have a happy, well paid workforce. Who will buy the crap they are selling if the small guys don’t have disposable income?

  A lot of these guys(bezos,musk,zuckerberg,gates) started out in their parents garage with one of their college buddies. They catered to our needs and wants and we willingly gave them our money. Instead of buying from Amazon early on I should have been buying Amazon early on.

  The beauty of capitalism is that anyone can share in the success of these billionaires if we make the right choices.
