  Every religion should comply....

  by BoogerMan in

  2. beliefs

  ...except of course jw's!.

  g84 8/22 p. 28 - "the catholic church occupies a very significant position in the world and claims to be the way of salvation for hundreds of millions of people.

  any organization that assumes that position should be willing to submit to scrutiny and criticism.".

  It’s about setting themselves apart from the mainstream; it always has been.

  Should Jehovah's Witnesses Trust the Governing Body?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if there is evidence that jesus invisibly chose specific men at headquarters in brooklyn new york in 1919 to be his faithful slave and that mandate and ability passed on to future directors...then the answer might just be a resounding maybe.. what is the evidence for this invisible appointment and what is the evidence that this is just watchtower mythology?.

  i hope jws like scholar and fisherman will explain why the trust the gb.. i must be honest, i see no evidence at all to put trust in either the 1919 selection or the current men taking the lead in warwick.

  Oh yeah, the GB absolutely has the rank-and-file’s best interests at heart.

  Viruses Killed The Woolly Mammoths.

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  2. beliefs

  i can remember the original turquoise coloured evolution book produced by the organisation and the numerous public talks around it.

  mind-blowing to a gullible youngster growing up in a jw family.. the flood of noah's day when thousands of tons of suspended water fell from the atmosphere and on hitting the cold poles instantly plunged the woolly mammoths into a deep freeze, to the extent that the last mouthful of grass was still there in the mouth in mid-chomp.

  you can quickly see why a kid with a fertile imagination was transfixed by those apparently up-to-date scientific discoveries as presented by the wt org!.

  Huh.

  I thought early humans hunted them to extinction.

  Or was that another species?

  wow.

  while not a pew survey, i found these to be surprising results.

  " a recent yougov poll explores americans' attitudes toward 35 religious groups, organizations, and belief systems.

  Oh, yeah.

  Hearing assembly drama dialogue using current WT vernacular for the first time was surreal.

  And then the WT magazine featured an illustration of two First-Century Christians going door-to-door with bags of scrolls.

  Huh.

  It’s funny, I’d always thought a “debutante” was a “ditzy rich socialite”.

  😄

  Maybe I had it confused with “celebutante”.

  Let’s be honest, folks. The Org wouldn’t want and budding young rank-and-filers attending anything “worldly”…

  …but it’s really about socially isolating members from non-members.

  When an outsider sexually abuse the child of a Jehovah’s witness

  when a non witness sexually abuse the child of a jehovah’s witness, who will the parents call or the elders call in this situation?

  Beth - “…Protecting the Organizations image is what's the most important…”

  No quite.

  At this point, I doubt they give a rat’s ass about their “public image”…

  …it’s all about shoring up the Org’s legitimacy and authority in the eyes of the membership.

  Lose that, and they lose everything.

  Balaamsass2 - “….I would never have expected a grassroots growth of dogmatic, religious gun-toting fundamentalism.”

  Did you forget who some of the earliest American settlers were?

  Some might be tempted to suggest it’s practically baked into the country’s DNA.

  Balaamsass2 - “…You would think a carload of child molesters were roaming the streets…”

  …he said, without a trace of irony. 😜
