  WT 68, Jun 1,confirms guiltiness by adding:
  “Would it be different if the man had a weapon and threatened to kill youif you did not submit?No,the Scriptures plainly state thatChristians are under obligation to ‘flee from fornication.’ (1 Cor. 6:18) It is true that you face the possibility of deathin this case.”

  Yes, I remember this delightful little WT rule well. My own parents made it very clear that, if attacked, I should scream at the top of my voice even if the rapist had a weapon because it would be better to die and resurrected in the New System than to loose my virginity to someone I was not married to

  They could sell bags of tiny plastic stones so the children can line all the little screaming plastic people up and hurl stones at them in practice for how naughty people who make Jehovah sad will be treated in the New System, when shunning will no longer be necessary as they will all be stoned to death instead. Lovely

  Oh yes, and how about some of the little plastic screaming people having detachable heads for when they have sneaked off to a birthday party.

  2013 District Convention Program: ‘God’s Word is Truth!’

  unlike god's word, that jws believe to be absolute truth, any one of their directives given at the 2013 district convention could be subject to misinterpretation.. .

  Sunday 10.00am Symposium: Jehovah's Promises Always Come True - Joshua 23:14

  Oh yes, like the promise that we would all now be living in the New System along with the generation that saw the outbreak of WWI and all the other millions that were told throughout the 20th century that they would "never die" who are now pushing up daisies

  Oh to be a heckler in the audience during THAT particular talk hee hee

  I wonder what the reaction would be if the JW kid were to present his handiwork to a "Show and Tell" session in his classroom.

  I honestly hope that this will happen, as it needs to be brought to the attention of the authorities just what horrors the JW childrens' minds are being filled with.

  There is another even more horrific dot to dot picture of a baby draped helplessly over a soldier's arm while he holds a sharp sword in the other about to chop the baby in two.

  I believe the JWs are encouraged to use these pictures as themes for their family worship nights?!

  Those poor children

  I have just been staring at that completed dot to dot picture with total shock! Words fail me!!

  I am 61 years old and I find it very disturbing, so how the hell is a tiny child going to feel?!?

  How many disturbed children out there are going to be given this lovely little dot to dot picture of a defenceless baby about to be mutilated by a man with a very sharp knife to complete? Children are very impressionable. As for the thought of them acting this out on family worship night?!?!

  Apart from the obvious scare tactics and nighmares resulting from this, it could fill their little heads with all sorts of ideas.

  You only have to watch the news for evidence of how children can re-enact scenes from horror films they have watched and been influenced by. In my mind this is equally as bad as allowing a child to watch a horror film.

  I wish something could be done about this

  I thought this was a joke at first, but apparently not. I can't take this in. Encouraging children to join up the dots to make up a picture of a woman dying an agonising death?!!

  Just sick!

  Sweet dreams, little kiddies!

  Well done informative video of how the Watchtower Corporation psychologically damages people in its intent to control and exploit

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this youtube video put out by a once member of the jws, goes into concise detail the extraneous efforts the watchtower corporation intentionally goes into luring people into their organization to only exploit them as its own controlled and subservient sales representatives for their publishing empire.

  its a bit long to watch in both parts, it might be a good idea to just not watch it but rather listen to the audio portion alone.

  as the video plays along, how many points does this guy hit the nail on the head as to correctly identifying what is really happening and going on in this religious corporate hybrid organization ?.

  The Infamous May 15th 1984 Watchtower "1914: The Generation That Will Not Pass Away"

  i do not know how the blogger who posted this infamous wt cover (5/15/84) got all the names of those who posed for this magazine cover, or whether the names are even correct, but if he got it right, man, what a provocative statement.. .

  Considering the fact that not only have the 1914 generation completely passed away, and most of the children of that generation are practically all gone as well now, (which absolutely and categorically proves that particular WTS doctrine was false and misleading), it amazes me how all the old timers amongst the rank and file can be so easily manipulated by the WTS. Go back just 30 years and you would never dare to suggest the WTS might be wrong in their predictions, because their word was spiritual food from Jehovah himself. I was still an active JW then and I can remember the renewed sense of urgency this particular magazine created within the congregation. I just don't get how they can just forget about all that and buy into this ridiculous 'overlapping generation' nonesense!

  Thanks Poztate that was really interesting, especially the fact that once Amber was out of her comfort zone she began to think for herself and see things in a different light, leading to her waking up to the truth about the truth.

  I loved the part when it suddenly dawned on her that all those enthusiastic Chinese studies she had conducted while still living in Vancouver were only really interested in the free English lessons she was giving them at the same time

  "Foreigners" and today's Watchtower

  by 88JM in

  i know this is true every week, and i say it all the time, and i know blondie will be doing her review later, but.... today's watchtower was bat-shit crazy!.

  i knew it was going to be a bizzare one just reading it, but the comments at the meeting took it even further.

  i can't post all the crazy ones, but in summary what they were saying was:.

  "If it had been done Jehovah's way, we would have black, white or yellow popping up here and there, not in great masses like they are at the moment. The reason they are in great masses at the moment is because they've separated themselves out and so there's one kind of feature grown up in different races. But otherwise, it would have been a mixture and that's the way it should be."

  What???!!! Do these people EVER stop to think what they are saying? Have they no idea how genetics work?? Oh no, of course they are not allowed to think for themselves are they.

  "I'm just very grateful that I've been taught by Jehovah that people from other places are the same as myself. But I would have been brought up as a very different sort of person, hating foreigners, and not liking people of different colors.

  Yes, like all of us who are not JWs hate everyone who is a different race or color to ourselves don't we

  Some of those comments were unbelievably crazy!
