  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

  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?

  "we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days, shortly before the last day of the last days!!!".

  how are they going to phrase this in ten years time......

  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.

  i was watching a video about wt and money and the "brother" refers to the "spirit directed organization.

  " he also says they use donations wisely and modestly.

  are the gb so deluded and therefore their followers?

  How my awakening began.

  by MissDaSilva in

  about a month ago i started having a clear out of old clothes, books and bric a brac etc….. i don’t know what came over me but i decided to chuck out all my old jw literature because we literally have no more room.

  it started with magazines, then books, ministry literature and once i started, couldn’t stop.

  weird right?

  I certainly understand throwing all WT literature in the trash, but often the best evidence that the WT is bogus is its own writings.

  For example, how anyone could read The Finished Mystery and believe the WT's claims of divine appointment and direction are beyond me...

  what is worse for jw's: changing the 1914 doctrine or allowing beards without the right to say what their opinion is?.

  Changing 1914 would be devastating. The whole WT "Jehovah's organization" and "faithful and discreet slave" structure depends on it.

  I wonder how many JWs will begin to realize the amount of arbitrary control they are allowing the GB to exercise over their lives.

  Theory on the GB "new light" pushing back the final judgment.

  by Jofi_Wofo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know there are several threads already on this "new light", but i didn't see one that covered this particular angle.. since the gb seem to have an ulterior motive for everything they do, well beyond their publicly stated reasons, i began to wonder why they would be concerned with pushing back the closing of the window of jesus' judgement.

  this is especially puzzling because the doctrine of the start of great tribulation being the final cutoff was one that the gb seemed to especially revel in for so long.

  they could hang it over everyone's heads as a looming threat.

  TonusOH said, "It would be funny if they suddenly announced that the great tribulation had already started and we simply hadn't realized it."

  My addition:

  Maybe the Great Tribulation began invisibly in 1975.

  Only "eyes of understanding" perceive this.
