  JWs always deny the information control

  by AuntBee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an active witness on fb just told me that they are taught to "always question what we are taught" and use not only the wt publications, but any research materials, and come to a conclusion about what they find!

  this is not what i've heard from you guys!

  does she go to some unusual-type kingdom hall, or is she mesing with my mind?.

  Give her these reading suggestions and see if she's as good as her word:

  • The Gentile Times Reconsidered.
  • Crisis of Conscience.
  • In Search of Christian Freedom.

  religion only to do with belief?

  by Curtains in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as jehovahs witnesses we were taught that the truth (belief) unifies every aspect of our lives and is of paramount importance.

  are other like religions like this also?

  do they emphasize belief to the same extent?.

  Freedom to THINK is one of the many benefits of this site Concerned JW. You may (or may not) have noticed that freedom of thought is highly discouraged by the WTS. Remember the KM article in recent years banning group bible study, discussion or anything that might lead to independant thought?

  Why might that be I hear you ask (you did ask didn't you)? Because the ones who become "apostate" (WTS specification, not the bibles) are the ones who DO real research, bible study, and thinking! So they wanted it stopped. These are the WTS MO:

  Doubts? Don't voice or share them.

  Questions? We dont want to know.

  You have found something we missed or got wrong? Share it and you will be disfellowshipped.

  Try 607 as the destruction of Jerusalem for size. I dare you. I double dare you.

  Watchtower 2011 July 15 Study Edition: Are all study editions like this?

  by Tuber in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so during my research on the wts, i stubled across a link to the july 15th watchtower.. .

  http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/w_e_20110715.pdf.

  i'm assuming that the study editions are the ones that they only give to members/ those who attend meetings.. .

  Yes they's all like that, or worse. Obey, obey, obey, guilt, guilt, guilt, fear, fear ...well you get the picture.

  But while under the mind control the fog is thick and the mind numbed, so these now oh so obvious control techniques (loaded language etc) pass mostly unnoticed.

  Another Yes here, and bloody livid about it.

  Well maybe not livid, but certainly pissed off that I didn't get out a lot sooner than 42. Now starting to pick up my life and LIVE it instead of procrastinating it away waiting for soething that is NOT going to happen in my lifetime. (if at all)

  A prophetic year : 360 days

  by Davidiam in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is my first time on the forum.

  i read somewhere on this forum that there is "no such thing as a prophetic year".

  that this concept was invented by the society.

  Not invented by C.T.Russell or JWs at all... just adopted like the rest of the 2520 day / year stuff from N.H.Barbour. The 360 day prophetic year goes way way back many hundreds of years though, as many were trying to make the 1260 days fit for many many years.

  Read The Gentile Times Reconsidered for a lot more info on its history. Other things to look into are The Millerites and the Adventist movements that branched off from that, that ultimately resulted in The Bible Students / Jehovahs Witnesses.

  The imperfections of the elder

  by outsmartthesystem in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  outsmart - you keep mentioning the imperfections of the elders....and how people need to overlook them because we are all imperfect and we need to learn what true humility is.....etc etc.

  dj - if this is what you believe to be true, then you are mistaken, because even though jehovah's witnesses are directed by holy spirit, we have at times 'gotten it wrong.

  dj - i can agree that jehovah's witnesses are god's mouthpiece today, that we do speak for god.
