i have been feeding my very pimi brother tidbits and clippings of all the csa issues coming to light the last five years and all the org's business dealings of hundreds of closed halls congs dissolving etc.
and reminding him of all the failed prophecies etc etc.
although he would listen and acknowledge.
slimboyfat - "...If on the other hand the Org was to collapse entirely, and suffer complete defeat, then people would walk away for the whole belief system entirely..."
Agreed, in no small part because an utter-collapse-slash-complete-defeat would - arguably - be the most elegant proof that the WTS isn't "God's Exclusive Earthly Organization"...
...because if it really were, said utter-collapse-slash-complete-defeat shouldn't have been possible.
i wonder if there will be panic buying of food, guns, gas ect due to the corona virus.
what do you guys think?.
Pshhh.
Here, that's just Tuesday.
how the wbts has definitely broken confidentiality in their own words!!!.
proverbs 25:9 "do not reveal what you were told confidentially".
a body of odours letter refers to this verse and instructs them when handling congregational matters involving legal issues.if an elder were to breach this (minister-communicant privilege prevents any body of odour from revealing things said in private to him by a member), then he automatically waivers the minister-client privilege.
Jeezus, the Org's pretty much redefined half of Webster's Dictionary by now...
...what's one more word?
jw.org is on collision course with russia.
the may wt study edition is full of prophesy related to the time of the end and what we have read so much in isaiah and jeremia bookstudy publications.. they found their enemy again.
jw.org needs enemy's to exist.
JoenB75 - "For some odd reason, Russia is always a bad guy in modern Western apocalyptic groups ..."
They are very convenient villains, aren't they?
with the most recent investigative news report show entitled "the witnesses" i noticed a number of posters whose family members are pimi refer to such shows as "apostate lies.
" even the governing body (possibly loesch) made such a statement (possibly on jw broadcasting).
i was thinking of how to reply to such a statement.. first, ask "who is the apostate?
"We endeavor to report it to the police..."
...By making an anonymous tip...
...from a pay phone...
...in a neighboring town...
...completely aware that the authorities hardly ever investigate such tips because a) they're sadly lacking in needed information, and b) quite often turn out to be steaming horseshit.
And the clueless rank-and-file loyalists are none the wiser, believing the Org's actions on the matter are totally on the up-and-up.
with the recent blood baths we have seen in this forum it got me wondering of how you can objectively understand it and more importantly not let it affect you if you so choose.
what i write is not meant to be taken as gospel truth since there is no gospel truth nor is it my intention to get on my soap box since i left it when i walked out of the kingdom hall.
most of what i have to say is subjective based on personal experience and i feel no need or desire to debate anyone about anything i write.
JWD...
...putting the fun in dysfunctional.
they'll write pages and pages of stuff and yet they don't have any idea.. here's a paragraph from their latest speculations on future events, bolding is mine.. a prophecy recorded by ezekiel gives some insight into what may happen during the last days of the king of the north and the king of the south.
if we view the prophecies of ezekiel 38:10-23; daniel 2:43-45; 11:44–12:1; and revelation 16:13-16, 21 as speaking about the same time period and events, it appears that we can expect the following developments.. that's an awful lot of assumptions to make.
what they've done is picked out various scriptures from different parts of the bible and now state that they may or may not be talking about the same events.
Fred Franz left no protege, and Ted Jaracz used 9-11 to purge out all the creative thinkers...
...so there's no one left to give the WTS's End-TImes script a page-one rewrite.
All they can do is keep doubling down on what they got.
jw.org is on collision course with russia.
the may wt study edition is full of prophesy related to the time of the end and what we have read so much in isaiah and jeremia bookstudy publications.. they found their enemy again.
jw.org needs enemy's to exist.
The Org must've been super-relieved when Russia started turning back into a "bad guy" in the press.
with the most recent investigative news report show entitled "the witnesses" i noticed a number of posters whose family members are pimi refer to such shows as "apostate lies.
" even the governing body (possibly loesch) made such a statement (possibly on jw broadcasting).
i was thinking of how to reply to such a statement.. first, ask "who is the apostate?
"Everything bad you hear about us is false!...
...Even the stuff that's true!!!"
where does one begin ?.
jehovah`s witnesses pride themselves as being a bible based religion ,that their beliefs and practices are all bible based ?.
words & phrases jehovah`s witnesses use or have used that are not in the bible.. organization.
Basically, if Christendom says "zig", the Watchtower zags...
...I mean, jeezus, it's almost a reflex action at this point
