  The Memorial

  the wt teaches that the memorial ( communion) should only be celebrated yearly and only the anointed can partake of the bread and wine .

  is that right ?

  i don't think so ..

  It's hard to get JWs to answer Bible questions at all these days.

  All they do is shrug and refer you to the website.

  Maybe a prerequisite for being elected to the GB is that you have to keep a straight face when you say you understand and believe the overlapping generations teaching.

  Are they more likely to appoint someone they know well or someone they've never met?

  a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

  elder: 'yes.

  i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

  "The members of the Governing Body don't know any more about the end times than I do."

  "Maybe Ray Franz wasn't the villain the GB makes him out to be."

  "It seems to me that a lot of the recent new light agrees with what Christendom has been teaching all along."

  As we know, to a loyal JW, rules don't have to make sense.

  The WT religion is all about blind obedience to the GB.

  Jeffrey Jackson: Too much excitement got in the way for the ''false dates''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  2 years ago

  annual meeting 2019—talks and 2020 year textthe governing body members are nothing but a bunch of weasels.

  here is a talk by jeffrey jackson on how the governing body ''the slave class'' has remained spiritually awake over 100 years and alerted its members.. he looks back on the ''faithful and discreet slaves'' false dates over the 100 years: '' but at times, we look back over 100 years, and there were times they got excited about a certain year or time, and the end didn't come at that time.''.

  he makes the comparison between the ''slave class ( who disappointed others when the end didn't come ) to a barking watchdog ( who in his enthusiasm barks at nothing in the middle of the night and wakes up the owner).

  "The GB doesn’t view being wrong as “apostasy”. They view thinking they’re wrong as “apostasy”."

  Nailed it!

  Rattigan350,

  What those now dead WT authors wrote proves conclusively that the WT religion is not the truth.

  Should we ignore that?

  Also, the people who wrote the Bible have been dead for nearly 2000 years.

  Should we ignore that also?

  According to Russell's timetable, Armageddon should have come in 1914, so what's another decade or two delay?

  become a jw only if you can't cope with the real world.

  i believe i picked this up here but can't find the thread.

  i think it worth a repost.. “top ten reasons jehovah's witnesses can't cope with the real world.

  Once you surrender your thinking to the borg, it's very hard to take it back.
