  Contrary to popular belief, religion does not necessarily get a blanket free pass to act with impunity in the developed world.

  Is the Watchtower Ultimately a Creation of Fallen Angels?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a watchtower in ceremonial magical tradition is a tutelary spirit of one of the four cardinal points or quarters (east, south, west and north).

  in many magical traditions, they are understood to be enochian angels... originating with the enochian tradition of john dee, a version of it was popularized by the hermetic order of the golden dawn, which became hugely influential in modern western esotericism, including wicca.

  the watchtowers are invoked during the ritual of casting a magic circle.. .

  Artificial intelligence answer to: What is the true religion?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  what is the true religion?.

  ''the question of what constitutes the "true" religion is deeply personal and subjective.

  different people and cultures have various beliefs and practices that they hold dear.

  Actually, very few churches insist that they alone have a claim to exclusivity.

  It’s really just the fundies, and they’re simply loud.

  Athanasius- “If the JWs became a mainline church would the membership increase or decease?”

  Decrease.

  Mainstreaming would effectively neuter virtually everything they held up as hard proof they alone were “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”…

  …their entire raison d’etre for the past century.

  There’d be zero incentive for all but the most institutionalized to stay.

  They always visualized “Satan’s World” attacking them with militant, heavy-handed force.

  Seems the possibility of being sued, taxed, and legislated to their knees never occurred to them.

  We’re seeing the Borg trying to project the appearance of reinventing itself.

  Not quite the same thing.

  Beth - “…the Borg never saw the internet age coming…”

  The Borg never saw the 21st Century coming.

  They’re struggling to adapt to an environment they never even imagined would exist, let alone have to survive in.

  What's Wrong with the Watchtower?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not sure who wrote this list a while back but i think it is worth a repeat....to be added to or subtracted from or modified...whatever.. what's wrong with the watchtower.

  "overlapping generations" - this teaching makes no sense.

  the word used by jesus is in the singular, not plural form.. .

  I’m no expert, but the “nightmare” stage of the “Wishful Thinking” phenomenon comes to mind.

  Big Local Case, Sexual Abuse by former Elder, Police Raided the Kingdom Hall ! Kent, U.K !

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the police have started an investigation where a woman has courageously come forward about her sexual abuse by a former elder, who had a record of doing such things with the local congregation, and i think it was all covered up.

  they have charged him, he is claiming he is not mentally fit to appear in court, i hope that lie does not hold up !.

  this case was unknown to the local elders, but hopefully will now give the strength for other women, who were all very young and very vulnerable at the time , to come forward as well.

  @ liam…

  Try to remember that correlation does not necessarily equal causation.
