  I have come to the conclusion that a lot of JWs don't care if the end is near.

  i was in the cult for years about 40. fourth gen born in cult member or for me ex cult member.

  i have seen so many cult members who don't seem to really care if the end is near or not.

  they are much more concerned with the idea that this is their social network and they need and or want it just the way it is.

  Child pornography should NOT be automatically handled by a judicial committee

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  new information added to the "shepherd the flock elder's book" .

  they have updated their policy on viewing child pornography.. from a congregation standpoint it is not viewed as child sex abuse and is something that should not be automatically handled by a judicial committee.

  it states that a person viewing child pornography should be strongly counseled.

  hoser - "When the authorities start throwing governing body members in jail they will cry persecution."

  'Course they will.

  Getting anyone but the small percentage of hardcore Lifers to really believe it is another thing, though.

  hoser - "Do these relatives actually believe it’s the truth or are they stuck in a jw social stratification prison?"

  Yes.

  They actually believe it’s the truth...

  ...because they're stuck in a JW social stratification prison.

  DesirousOfChainge - "If the favorable court cases in the 1940's and 1950's were indicative of divine blessing, what else can all of these losses indicate but that WTS/JW's have lost God's blessing and He is using the Nations to discipline them?"

  Yeah, didn't God let "Satan's World" bitch-slap his "chosen nation" of Isreal when they got out of line and wouldn't straighten up?

  hoser - "I see the watchtower corporation as a rudderless, captainless vessel steaming at full power in an ocean full of icebergs."

  Or a fucking train wreck in slow motion.

  Sure is interesting to watch, though.

  Isn’t JW’s teaching of “the abomination that causes desolation” wrong?

  by Abraham1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  what “the abomination that causes desolation” mentioned in mathew 24:15 means could be understood only by close followers of jesus because it was part of his personal discussion with them.

  by stopping to greet those whom they consider as “their enemies” jws are identifying themselves as “pagans,” according to jesus.

  (mathew 5:43-48) thus they cannot correctly understand what the abomination that causes desolation” that would appear as part of signs of “last days.”.
