June 2011 Watchtower & Poverty (public edition)

by FrankWTower in

i have a part this week about the june awake & watchtower.

after reading some of the paragraphs in the watchtower, i have this opinion to share:.

i really wish the wt would stop trying to teach witnesses about their biased views of history and economic theory.

pubtruth

Talk yourself out of giving the part. You're going to have trouble lying to everyone after looking all of that up. I cannot comment from the WT anymore, I get the shakes, all I can do is read cited scriptures and Bible readings in the school.

"Cemetery Witnessing" on Memorial Day

by Morbidzbaby in

jw

i've been wondering if this is just something that's done in my area, or if people do it all over.. every year on memorial day, a lot of people meet for fs and then when they break into groups, they all discuss which cemeteries they are going to "work".

every major cemetery in the city is divvied up.

the idea is, they take a stack of small tracts (usually the what hope for dead loved ones) and they basically park the car in the cemetery and walk around handing them out to the mourners.

pubtruth

Being from a majority JW household, we have no fallen soldiers in the family. But as you may all know I'm done believing the fake promise of paradise.. It would anger me greatly to have someone interrupt my, or someone elses solemn ocassion just to lure them into the org when they're most vulnerable.

Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained? I do, thats actually her first study book. I wish I could pull out the WT article in Spanish, but the WT CDROM in Spanish only goes back to 1970.

The Watchtower study today irked me quite a bit, first to do so really after I made up my mind that it's a lie. (“Keep Awake as Jeremiah Did” March 2011 Study Edition Paragraphs 17,18 and 19)

These paragraphs really made it hard to keep my cool inside the Kingdom Hall. Especially the comments, and how dumb they sounded. One sister said that we should be very joyful in the preaching work and glad the time is “almost here™”… They were just about to applaud.

Part of Par 19:

Grappling with the more challenging difficulties

Ahead may be likened to running “a race with horses.” It would require great powers of endurance for a man to keep up with galloping horses. So it is beneficial to endure the trials we now face, which may prepare us to endure those that lie ahead.

The comparison came from the bible, but coming from wherever, it sounds like they want to drive every witness into the ground with preaching work.

On the ride home I broke it to my mother... “A bunch of hypocrites” hastily buckling my seat belt. We went back and forth how we’re imperfect and yada yada… “I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND. How can they be jumping of joy awaiting the murder of billions of people?!” “But they’re evil people, they’ll refuse the message, so they will pay” she said. “Many innocent people going about their lives, some never doing harm will die, I don’t know, that’s what’s wicked to me” (I Slightly choked up) “Leave it to Jehovah, he knows what he does” “The bible says we shouldn’t judge” I read her Matthew 7:1,2 when we got home “I’m not judging” “Yes you are, by saying everyone worldly is evil and poison” I got another apostate “search and destroy” stare “Just imagine the new world, living forever, going anywhere you please! No illness, no worries.” She wound up talking about after the 1000 year period, going over how we should still remain obedient or we will be zapped instantly… (It’s just trouble isn’t it? These guys have a thing with zapping and death...) “Blah blah blah ~ Where else will you go™?” She ended. I looked at her. “It’s not leaving God” and I just turned away.

I hope some of what I have told her resounds with time. What should I say to get her to reason and starting thinking with what’s left of her Watchtower pickled brain? She was nearly a born in, so I’m in for a ride..

Needed Organizational Changes for WT

by Kosonen in

i am concerned about the spiritual welfare of the jehovah's witnesses.

surely we all have noticed an unhealthy development in their leaders attitude, the "governing body".

they have more and more begun to emphasize their importance and their power, in the literature and talks and thereby drawing unnecessary much attention to themselves.

Needed Organizational Changes for WT: Be divested and spread the cash with the members.
