  Is it a Congregation or a tricky corporation

  by jst2laws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been trying to make points with some in my congregation by dropping neutral hints, such as: did you know since 1985 we (they) do not baptize in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit but we have taken holy spirit out of the process and placed the spirit directed organization into the picture?.

  i told several on their way to the convention to look for this as well as the emphasis in the drama on loyalty to the organization.

  i havent been to the convention this year but may have to persevere through one more because two folks came back telling me they did not hear any emphasis on organization.

  The GB and Evil, WHY?

  by jst2laws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reading responses to jw72's current post i was reminded of a book i read more than ten years ago that makes it all fit together now.. being one who has hung on for years hoping for major reform within the jw administration i feel i now must accept reality.

  why does the gb hang on to such unpopular and harmful teachings such as blood, confidentiality for pedophiles, disfellowshipping, meddling in personal matters, irritating people with their door to door preaching and on and on?.

  years ago, i read a book by dr. scott peck entitled people of the lie.

  Dominance, Control = Kingdom? .....NOT!

  by jst2laws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now jehovah is the spirit; and where the spirit of jehovah is, there is freedom 2 corinthians 3:17. i see a common attitude in ex-jws that i at one time would have said see, thats the way apostates are.

  it is the mutual resentment of being controlled.

  some might find this to be normal considering the abuse of authority most have survived.

  This is what Mama wants!

  by jst2laws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reading responses to casper reminded me of our recent meeting with the co. he kept using the phrase this is what mama wants.

  it seemed to be applied whenever anyone with common sense would have objected to what was being said or done.

  however it was not employed by the co to excuse himself of responsibility but to give unquestionable authority to what he was saying.

  In there no good in the WTBTS??? or ourselves??

  by jst2laws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we hopefully all agree it is wrong to reject an entire race because we have found one of its member to be flawed, or to reject an entire concept an the basis of finding a flaw in its argument.

  would not fair people look for a way to accept the good in the concept, modify the flawed portion and rejoice in what was gained from the refined concept?

  it would also be wrong, as the wt does, to reject an entire institution because some of its precepts are flawed.
