In THE WATCHTOWER ? JULY 15, 2011 15 This is how they portray ones who simply leave after seeing the light. But notice how before the article ends they move on to Satan and his wicked world. It is almost like they can see how silly the claims they make about those who leave are.
4 To elders of the Ephesus congregation, Paul said: "From among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things." Addressing fellow Christians, Peter wrote: "There will also be false teachers among you." So from where do false teachers come? They may arise from within the congregation. Such ones are apostates._ What do they want? They are not content just to leave the organization that they perhaps once loved. Their aim, Paul explained, is "to draw away the disciples after themselves."Note the definite article in the expression "the disciples." Rather than going out and making their own disciples, apostates seek to take Christ's disciples with them. Like "ravenouswolves," false teachers are out to devour trusting members of the congregation, destroying their faith and leading them away from the truth.-Matt. 7:15; 2 Tim. 2:18. 5 How do false teachers operate? Their methods reveal a cunning spirit. Apostates "quietly bring in" corruptive ideas. Like _ smugglers, they operate in a clandestine manner, subtly introducing apostate views. And just as a clever forger tries to pass phony documents, so apostates use "counterfeit words," or false arguments, trying to pass their fabricated views as if they were true. They spread "deceptive teachings," "twisting . . . the Scriptures" to fit their own ideas. (2 Pet. 2:1, 3, 13; 3:16) Clearly, apostates do not have our best interests at heart. Following them would only divert us from the road that leads to eternal life.
* "Apostasy" is a standing away from true worship, a falling away, defection, rebellion, abandonment.

I read somewhere that the stuff that the gb of jw's spout is 80% bullshite and I think that figure might be low. And it is true that if studied and believed it can be burned into the psychi to such an extent that it takes years to erase.

It is funny/interesting that although they demonize the internet and discourage the need many witlesses feel to have and possess every latest gadget, that they make their shit available for it all. The wt library is made available to work on various gadgets other than just the computer. And now they are making the mags, and probably will with other digital downloads, abailable as epubs so they can load them on their gadgets. Many witnesses never had cassette players, video recorders, dvd players, etc. until they made these various forms of media available forcing the dubs to go and buy these so that they could keep up with the rich spiritual food. LOL. My brother and his wife who are getting up in years have voiced there frustration of having to buy and learn how tho use these. Never would have been so "materialistic" to go out and buy these had the society not forced them to. LOL

RIP Michael Jackson
by sizemik init's one hour into june 25th here in new zealand .
and two years since the death of michael jackson.. we all know of his family life and the connection the family had to the jehovah's witness religion, his abusive father, and the less than ideal childhood he experienced.
his struggles with his identity and his past manifested itself in a life of extreme highs and lows.

Yes, indeed. These paragons of virtue (all involved in arranging these) . Better and smarter than worldly counterparts. I can remember sitting with sweat running down my back in a building that was overcrowded and totally inadequate for these gifts from Jehovah, being fed spiritual food at the proper time. No one to blame but myself I guess. The first assembly I attended on a Sunday had a public talk that was so over my head and I am sure over the heads of 99% there should have clued me in. But N-O it took another 35 years LOL

Do they really think they should write articles about buying new cars to save money and stuff to do with the future.
