  God cannot lie

  by psyco in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.

  .

  so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.

  Even with recent changes it’s a struggle to get people to attend

  the kingdom hall is still empty.

  even with amalgamation of 2 congregations.

  the elders are handling the microphones and there was only one comment from zoom at the watchtower.

  That’s OK.

  Means something to us, and that’s enough.

  Yeah, just sounds to me like the Org’s little temporary stopgap tactic of (over)consolidating halls to give the surface impression of higher growth/attendance is kinda working in this instance.

  jhine - “…Your pretend conversation is contrived to support the point that you want to make..”

  Well, jeezus, what’s the point of contriving pretend conversations if you’re not gonna support your own fucking points???

  Essential Beliefs

  by LeeMerk in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if the watchtower really wants to move more mainstream they need to take a lesson from evangelicals in the united states.

  they seem to say there are "essential beliefs".

  a handful of core beliefs that are necessary to be considered true christians.

  I just had a fucked-up idea…

  …wouldn’t it be a kick in the ass if actual moderates on the GB were genuinely trying to use that “core belief”…

  …to make the transition to authentic mainstreaming more smooth?

  (i.e. essentially use the slaves’ obedience to free them?)
