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."
basic blood questions for jehovah's witnesses.
where does the bible outlaw blood transfusions?
(acts 15:29 gen.9:4) .
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.
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!
did they hope that everybody who read the1969 awake as a kid is too senile to remember?.
.
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......
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.
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?
"Are the GB so deluded and therefore their followers?"
Yes.
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?.
g..
Changing 1914 would be devastating. The whole WT "Jehovah's organization" and "faithful and discreet slave" structure depends on it.
latest gb update.
only took them 20 years to see beards are acceptable in society.
.
I wonder how many JWs will begin to realize the amount of arbitrary control they are allowing the GB to exercise over their lives.
