Brainwashing and free will

by Sojourn in

it's obvious to anyone who's spent time on this site with an open mind that major brainwashing and mind control are at work in the wts.

how do you reconcile that with the idea of free will?

it's like if i said that i know my decisions were mine, but at the same time they weren't.

wasblind

For me freewill and independent thinking cannot be separated, JW's always use negative examples

when using independent thinking, They conveniently leave out the example of Christ being tempted

in the wilderness and the choice he made, using his freewill and independent thinking.

My mom opened up for the first time.

by NomadSoul in

i could write paragraph after paragraph to explain the situation, my leaving, my influence on my mom and siblings, etc.. but i will keep it short.. my mom is inactive and she has always liked having conversations with me about almost any topic.

for a long time though she would not touch the subject of the watchtower organization when i brought it up, i could tell she still believed that talking bad about the organization was a sin.. but last weekend we were having our usual conversation that we have now and then.

the topic of religion and god was brought up.

" What did Jesus mean when he said that nobody comes to the Father except through me?..........why hasn't any of the of the Borg's explanations satisfied her? "

Thumbs up to mom for seeing the true light.

End of Pioneer Assist - real reasons?

by freddo in

i reckon that the sentence at the start of paragraph two of the letter to elders that says "in view of the good results and for other practical reasons, it is now felt that the pioneer assist others program has accomplished its purpose.

" (italics mine) is legal cya because if a pioneer goofs up and injures (while driving?

) or molests an assistee then there is a direct link to the wts because a pioneer is society appointed.. follow the dollars ....

Hey moshe,

I wasn't told the field service was voluntary, and when i slacked off i was ask question from an elder as to why

and that whatever i was going through more field service was the answer.

Another JW encounter

by AuntBee in

i thought i might have been placed on the do not call list, but apparently, it was just one pesron that chose not to stop at my house her last time down our street.

i was surprised more came this close to the last visit!

(they need to work on their territories/organization, lest people really become annoyed and feel harrassed with 2 visits in a row.).

wasblind

I always get 'em with,

I have a question to ask out of (whatever book or mag i have) show them the contradictions in an earlier book and " BAM " i got me a deer in headlights

1914 Doctrine is FALSE -- Questions for JW's

by UnDisfellowshipped in

jw
friends

is there any jehovah's witness who can answer these questions about 1914?.

can you demonstrate, using the holy scriptures, that the messianic kingdom was established in 1914, that jesus got the full legal right to become king that year, and that jesus returned invisibly in 1914, and that the "last days" began that year?.

1:) no encyclopedia, no history book, and no archaeology book that i have ever seen have ever said that nebuchadnezzar destroyed jerusalem and the temple in the year 607 bce.

" you cannot help but notice that the religion is an ever changing beast that is at the mercy of the leaders of the time. "

2 Corinthians 11:14 " And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light,"

Transforming = changing

Overlapping Generations

by elder-schmelder in

i think that this explains it best !!.

one of the critical and most debatable assumptions we have maintained thus far in our arguments is the assumption of successive generations.

in other words, we have assumed that, every period, a new generation arises and the old one dies off.
