  2011 Yearbook - "Tracing All Things with Accuracy"

  by pirata in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  2011 yearbook - "tracing all things with accuracy", p.9-13.

  jesus said that the faithful slave would be discreet in giving the domestics "their food at the proper time.

  " christ thus indicated that those who dispense this "food" would be conscientious, prudent, and discerning in providing spiritual food for the household of faith.-matt.

  just a thought yesterday as i was eating lunch with my 5 yr. old son.

  the restaurant had ccr's bad moon rising playing, and i thought,.

  this could be a real up temp song to sing at the hall and it even has the lyrics that speak of impending doom.

  I choose the end 'chase' music to the Benny Hill show.

  I imagine elders chasing a 'wrongdoer' around the Hall to get them into the Star Chamber for the unBiblical JC!

  3/15 WT " Do Not Deceive Yourself "- WT's Excuses for No Armageddon

  by flipper in

  with the new " overlap generation " theory that the wt society is pushing onto rank and file jehovah's witnesses since last year this article i found really heavy hitting in the jw version of the wt.

  the wt society is leaking oil in that confidence is low among jw's in not really buying into the " generation overlap " theory as many younger jw's are exiting the organization.

  so what better way to try reeling members back in by giving them an article entitled " do not deceive yourself with false reasoning " !

  Yup. It seems like it's the 'friends' who are telling YOU when YOU should invite them.

  A bit like how the JW GB tell God what he has to do and when. He was obviously not listening when they told him to bring the big 'A' in 1975!

  Chances are he aint listening now (if he exists that is.....even I'm not sure anymore...)

  In all honesty...

  in all honesty... the blokes that thought up this whole scheme in the first place truly have won.

  they got their money.

  they had their power.

  Where do we go from here? What do we have left?

  I sympathise totally after being 50 years and raised in the filthy cult!

  Don't worry about the 'where else will you go?' junk. If your house was on fire you wouldn't sit and wait for another to come on the market before moving. You run!

  Take time to find your level as water will find it's own level.

  What's left? Loads. Freedom to investigate anything you choose. Keep an open mind and don't feel you have to rush into anything.

  It'll all be clearer in time!

  Just something I've noticed that makes me wonder...

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have found it very odd how much in-fighting and back-biting go on among certian boe's.. and it's rather strange that several (not all) of them will vent to me about how they can't stand this one, or they think this other one is out of line, or that elder's wife talks too much, etc.

  or they whine about how many elder meetings they have to go to, or how they are frustrated because they have to deal with sister loudmouth-who-pisses-off-everyone-else.. and i sit there wondering why they would ever want to continue to do this job?

  it's thankless, offers no compensation, rips you away from your family, and forces you to rub shoulders with company men and puts you in a position where you have to render judgement on someone with little or no understanding of what the psychological consequences to that person could be.

  I'm having difficulty seeing proof of God's Spirit at work here.

  That's because God's spirit does not work withing an anti-Christ business.

  I worked this out this way. It obviously doesn't work because men have been appointed to office whilst doing things they should be DF for (under cult rules). Also, as an ELder I sat on JC's where when 'Holy spirit' had decided the outcome of the star chamber hearing the poor victim is given 7 days to appeal. & days...WTF??????? God's infallible judgement is give 7 days in case he changes his mind.

  It's a business and all desicions are done like they would be in a business!!

  To illustrate , imagine you are expecting guests. Anticipation of their visit may lead to a flurry of activity as you attend to necessary household chores related to their stay. However, then you receive word that your visitors are delayed. Will you abandon the preparations ?

  No. I’ll eat the food and tell them to go to KFC instead.

  This happened to us. We waited for our guests. They didn’t arrive but then we all died at Armageddon. (It happened when we least expected it! I think it was in 1975 from memory)

  More propaganda from the pyramid big business anti-Christ cult posing as religion to obtain cash and/or power over those who ‘deceive themselves with false reasoning’ the WTBTS is the ‘trooOOOOoooOOOoth’!

  What is the Watchtower Borganization?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have come to the conclusion that the watchtower organization is this = .

  an anti-christ pyramid big business cult posing as a religion to enable the leaders to obtain money and/or power over the rank and file witnesses.. .

  my conclusions are based on a whole range of things including:.

  I recon their real growth is those (like me) born into the anti-Christ CULT. Mind you, I woke up a bit late in life admittedly but still woke up. (Combatting Cult Mind Control by Steven Hassan did it finally for me)

  Trouble is, they fudge so many stats we'll never know if they're really on the decline. Bladdy 'ope so!

  I loved the assemblies because I could sit, relax and nod off. One assembly I spent most of the time asleep.

  Yes. It was refreshing! Sleep is good for you!

  We all know how many are CURRENT JDubs, but what is the total number of EX-JDubs?

  by sinis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering if anyone had a stat on how many ex-dubs are out there that are comprised of df'd, da'd, faded, etc.

  basically, how many ex-jdubs exist outside of the realm of the ~7 million or so current and faithful jdubs... from the beginning of this cult until now (including those that have died) - rough idea..

  I think the problem with actual TRUE stats is that you won't get honest stats from the washtowel babylon crap sources as they just fudge everything. They are adept LIARS.

  I live in hope they are diminishing at an alarming (to the GB), rate.

  This is why I'm so bladdy apostate,' vengence is mine ' sayeth the punk! I hate the fact I've been funked over by the GB all these years, now I'm on the warpath.

  A Dub friend of mine said to me today that if the washtowel borganization had done anything wrong, the 'opponents' would be all over their case.

  Well I am!!!

  my mother-in-law is making leaps and bounds in her progress to get out of the watchtower.

  for those of you that don't know, she is df'd but has been working on "coming back".

  recently i've been able to exchange emails about the dangers of the organization and share jesus with her.

  she's said that she is extremely bothered by how they changed Matthew 28:19,20 so that people are dedicating themselves to "god's spirit directed organization" instead of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  Very good point!

  I rest my case thet the Governing Body are getting more Anti-Christ every day.
