  It's a shame people take these frauds for real.

  ...although a lot of us were Jobots.

  Watchtower Dishonesty aka Theocratic Warfare

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would like to collect as many instances of watchtower dishonesty and pretense as possible.

  here is one from a bulgarian as an example of what i'm looking for.. are jehovah's witnesses disfellowshipped for receiving blood in a hospital?.

  helge fauskanger writes: "if witnesses can’t convince the elders that they are utterly “repentant” for this vampiric lapse of theirs, they will be held to have disassociated themselves from the religion — even if they never said a word about wanting to leave it!

  Will the ministry ever resume?

  by optimisticskeptic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  going on 2+ years of no public ministry.

  can't imagine anyone is really enjoying letter writing still or that it's remotely effective.

  i'm a little shocked that we haven't resumed yet but i guess that's what happens when the org is run by a bunch of old people (ie high risk for covid) and a bunch of other sheltered germaphobes.

  Oppy -

  That depends upon whether it'll be a money spinner and provide booze for TOMO the turd and his pardo loving gang.

  and another....

  

  The JW leaders have turned their sheeple into monsters.

  All because TOMO 3rd and the Governing Body (Pee be upon them), want money to get drunk with. Oh, that, and to protect their like minded paedophiles.

  Filthy, disgusting pigs.

  Worship study this week

  by road to nowhere in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since i need to keep up for family's sake i "study"(skim, its not deep).

  worship: pray, study ( wt), go to meetings ( formal, not gathering 2 or 3), preach.

  thrn add helping build halls, donating, and since donations go one way only, give material aid to others.. note construction time isn't for service,( but i may have turned in time for it).

  Roadie - but I may have turned in time for it....

  I think 99% of reporting time(TM) is all fictional, anyway. (Anyways with an 's' on the end if you're in America).

  Where the 'donations(tm)' actually go...........

  if you think it works, what is your evidence outside of possible coincidence?.

  Judgy. I was told once that as a believer, you'll never really find evidence for God etc.

  I find that a bit hard to swallow.

  I think that here, in the Western world a lot of people think 'Bible' when they think in terms of God and belief.

  How do we know that Allah, Odin or Rastafari isn't the real God and we have the wrong book?

  You see my dilemma?

  judgy - And I choose to believe that verse means...............

  And that's what bothers me.

  Choosing to believe isn't the same as knowing.

  If those verses were of divine origin, there would be no choosing to believe. It would be obvious when read, exactly what it means.

  Simon - That's one ugly woman IMO

  I'd give her one. But then there's more to a person than looks.

  She also seems like an ugly personality

  ...and this is what would turn me off from giving the dog a bone.
  

  Perhaps a 3 bag job. One for her head. One for my head and 1 to puke into after.

  biahi - I’m waiting for the “new light” which absolves members of disfellowshipping if they pay a certain dollar amount. I’ll bet it’s coming soon, to a KH near you.

  I wonder what would happen if they brought in tithing instead of the stealth and bully boy tactics.

  NBD - The study of 'weasel words' in the Washtowel Publicatiobs(tm), is an interesting thing in itself.
