  “Do not gaze about!”

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so many changes in the 2013 nwt seem needless and spoil familiar phrases.

  take isaiah 41:10 in the nwt classic rendering:.

  do not be afraid, for i am with you.

  Know what's really funny?

  Lett probably wouldn't even realize the show was for kids.

  Stephen Lett should host a JWTV show specifically aimed at Witness kids.

  He's already a weird-ass mashup of Applewhite and Mr. Rogers.

  This suggests to me that the WTS has allowed itself to become too married to its cosmology for its own good.

  Instead of letting (what should be) obvious theological mistakes just fade away like they used to...

  ...they double-down...

  ...and inevitably end up being even more wrong than they were before (not to mention paint themselves into ever-tighter ideological corners).

  Do the Jehovah's Witnesses have to be revoked of their KdöR status in Germany?

  the fallout from the regina spiess dossier continues.

  no wonder why jehovah's witnesses challenged her in court and lost big time.the following is an extract from this article.

  although the judgment is not binding for german courts and authorities, it is nevertheless relevant in terms of content, since the teachings and practices of jehovah's witnesses are approximately the same worldwide.

  Honestly, I wonder sometimes just how the WTS has managed to keep its tax-exemption in the developed world as long as it has.

  Rocketman - "Actually I'm in the opinion that when people visually see the great FDSL ones speak they may be more accepting to what the glorified spiritual ones say, in other words better brainwashing."

  I just got the weirdest slogan image in my head... "Jehovah's Witnesses: Better Blessedness Through Brainwashing"

  
  

  Seriously, though, I'm sort of on that page, too...

  ...Stephen Lett is the first example to come to mind. After all, the rest of the Crazy Eight have gotta know just how fucking ridiculous the guy sounds, but they still put him on.

  The only reason for that (that makes any sense to me) is that he's gotta be some kind of litmus test...

  ...they realize if a dutiful rank-and-filer can drink Letto the Clown's Kool-Aid and still say "please, sir, can I have some more" and mean it...

  ...the Org's got him for life.

  Like I've said before...

  ...the Org should produce a true-to-the-text adaptation of the Revelation Climax book (after the JesusVision miniseries is finished... shared universes are all the rage, now, after all).

  I swear, it'd be the most fucked-up, batshit-crazy-looking thing ever seen.

  Jeezus, it's getting to the point where it's weird if the Org isn't in some kind of trouble with the law.

  Looking Back Were There Any “Apostates” In Your Congregation?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember knowing some jws that expressed their own personal viewpoints regarding what a scripture meant that was at odds with society teachings.

  in the 60 and 70’s, that was pretty much tolerated until the great purge in 1979 and 1980. as a matter of fact, it wasn’t unusual for witnesses to get together and discuss personal questions and viewpoints they might have.

  it wasn’t unusual to send letters to the society asking what was considered the right or wrong view.
