  I'm coming to the conclusion...the WTBTS is a publishing cult (If its all about the bible why do we have all the books/tracts/magazines. etc)?

  was watching a video on you-tube (i wish i could copy and paste the link, but cant do it in mozilla firefox).

  anyways, the video made a really good point about how the wtbts is not only a religious cult but a publishing cult.

  the watchtower has released hundreds of books over the past 100 years.

  Why dont Jehovah Witness pioneers and baptized publishers like the title 'Ordained Minister?'

  by Joliette in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i watched a video on this, and an independent filmmaker was asking a brother why dont jehovah's witnesses publishers and pioneers consider themselves to be ordanined ministers.

  he went to a scripture and then said that the reason why we do this work, is to help our neighboors learn about the bible and live there lives according to it.

  he seemed to distance himself from the title 'ordained minister.

  Why dont the rank and file dubs know if they are ministers or not?

  lol @ littlewitch

  Very true Pirata

  Something else that I've always noticed, thats always seemed kinda odd to me:

  The people who appear as actors/models in the watchtower and awakes magagzines arent paid. This is another form of free labor (amongst the people who volunteer at bethel in the first place). Along with actors who work for free, free labor, not only do the rank and file members of Jehovah's Witnesses go out and 'sale' the publications, they go out place the publications, and accept volunteery donations for they publications. is GETTING FD

  FD$ is getting PAID!!!!! LOL

  By the way, I wish someone would copy and paste some of the old watchtower's and awake's articles on homosexuality. I remember reading one titled: The Gay life is not gay or something like that. I'm like omg. Who wrote this?? I cant remember the article word for word but I remember it

  saying something like 'the homosexual lifestyle is lonesome and frustrating, etc.'

If its always been ALL about the bible, when why do has there been so many books, tracts, and magazines released over the years.

  SIDENOTE: I went to a dollar tree here in my hometown Milwaukee, and brought a King James bible for $1 (thats right, $1!!) Thats it.

  Just like Raymond Franz said in his book COC: An Iron hand behind a velvet glove.

  Like Bluesbrother said, they KNOW that worldly society has become more liberal and less tolertant of people who

  are homophobic. They very indirectly direct when it comes to LGBT people. The bottom line is: If a person is disfellowshipped for

  not being straight, his or her family will not talk them until there all straightened out. Thats not loving to me. I dont know what to say about the bible's

  stand on same sex relationships, but I do find it mighty funny that Jesus never mentions homosexuality as wrong, and he is God son for freakin sakes.

  The bible can be used to defend homosexuality, point blank.

  And when Jehovah said that two men should not lay together, who and what was he referring to?
