More from the June 15th WT on the Love at the meetings.

by life is to short in

this wt just keeps getting better and better, ok well the start of it was the worst the generation change but man this whole wt is really ticking me off.

i must just be in some mood right now.

it has taken me the whole week to listen to it.

“low number of people who are genuinely happy.”

And often I noticed that they are the ones with good jobs, not pioneers, and hold little or no “privileges” in the congregation.

Satan is after Jehovah's people and tries to stop us from spreading the good news

by life is to short in

ok the last three days i have been working a ton and have not had the time to read the responses from my other posts but i intend to as soon as i have a minute.

this june 15th wt seems to be filled with outrages stuff.

or maybe i am just really tired and sick of this religion.

They are making Satan and his demons the central figure in this religion after the Governing Body. We are hearing and reading more references about Satan than Jesus. I guess it’s a natural inclination to talk so much about their real father. They fail to publicly admit that money, greed, pride and the desire to control millions of people is their driving force. Just like Satan…they want to get what they want sparing no one.

It could also be (I’m saying this in a sarcastic, condescending way) that they are playing reverse psychology on ex-JW and conscientious objectors (a/k/a apostates). To make us believe that we are better off staying shut in order discourage their “persecution complex”.

Paranoia is settling in, it’s so sad that this will just contribute to the mental and emotional breakdown of thousands of their active members. It breaks my heart to see that for some, there is no way out of this abusive religion.

What would Jesus Christ say if he returned today?

by James_Slash in

this was always one of the main justifications for me in leaving the wt behind.

i was just wondering how many of you have ever reasoned in the same way.. i have often wondered how jesus christ would react if he came back to the earth now and how he would view the organisation who claim to represent his standards?.

would jesus really want to be associated with paedophilia, false prophecies, shunning, the destruction of families, lies, untruths, hypocritical leaders and the lack of love amongst members?.

A split between the WT Corp and the Christian Cong of JW?

is there the possibility of a split between the wt corp and the christian cong of jw?

it has been discussed in this forum that it is highly unlikely that the wt corp will disappear or be brought down.

they will always have followers.

It has been discussed in this forum that it is highly unlikely that the WT Corp will disappear or be “brought down”. They will always have followers.

But I wonder, if the legal liabilities and the millions of dollars that the WT Corp is loosing as a result of the theological blunders enforced by the GB (i.e. the ban on blood transfusion, the pedophile ‘protection program’, no higher education, etc); is causing a power struggle between the two entities (WT Corp Vs CCJW).

I heard that the treasurer or WT main accountant commented that contributions have been down by 60%. The Circuit Overseers are dropping too many hints about the possibilities of loosing “our K-Halls”. And the constant emphasis on obedience and loyalty to the GB is already raising some questions.

Corporations will do all that’s necessary in order to survive. Here are some of the things I think the WT Corp knows it needs to do in order to get back to profitability.

Make the blood transfusion a conscience matter. This alone will make the cult more attractive to some people. More people get recruited = more $$$.
Let each congregation handle pedophile accusation in accordance to the Law of the Land, and make each congregation (or circuit, district) legally liable for any mishandling of sexual abuse cases. Less liability = more $$$ the WT can keep.
Don’t discourage the members from getting a higher education. More highly educated congregants = more $$$ in contribution.
Stop demonizing the internet. They could then distribute material or content through the internet thus reducing the cost of paper and ink. Use their media capabilities to create material that could be distributed through the internet, for example, videos, dramatized audio bibles, e-books, etc.

However, in order for the WT Corp to accomplish this…they’ll know that they have to eliminate the control of the GB.

Could it be the Don Adams and the other chairmen are moving towards that direction?

Your opinions….

In my case, it was everything that Terry said, plus I was young and in need of direction in my life. They sounded confident about what they thought me, gave me a Job, a purpose and the promised of a big reward.

It only lasted for 12-15 years. I saw the man behind the curtain, the veiled dropped and the rest is history. Now I’m moving on with my life, I don’t beat myself for the years that I invested in this Organization…I try to concentrate at the good that I got out of it.

I became a good public speaker, met some wonderful people, had some memorable times, I was surrounded by a relatively decent “social club” which helped to keep me out of trouble while living in a rough neighborhood. I learned to be disciplined because of the ‘theocratic’ schedule of activities. But most importantly (in my case) I was introduced to the bible and its message (I’m not saying that they were right, just that they introduced me to the bible).
