I love these. Clever!
Not Satanic like Watchtower illustrations of Zeus's head on a skirt!
i remember whilst being on holiday my jw inlaw, him looking at me with utter disgust that simply because he couldnt see images such as these, he felt that they were demonic & therefore i should not be having anything to do with them.
he said in no uncertain terms that i was to quit touching the unclean thing.. i was allowing satan into my mind !!!
lol.

this is just a small part of it but i wonder if this person thought out what they were saying.
are they not inferring that going to the hall and assemblies fails to help gain a relationship with jehovah, so why go then?
lol.
.........and I thought it was Satan who wanted everybody to be a JW and steal their time at meetings and FS and so they can mock/reject the Christ at memorial time!
Silly me!
what they've said in the past;.
"...mark the words of jesus, which definitely seem to discourage the bearing of children immediately before or during armageddon: "and woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days" - matt.
24:19... it would therefore appear that there is no reasonable or scriptural injunction to bring children into the world immediately before armageddon, where we now are.
Hmmmmm! So, on the one hand, having children is MOST of the Borg growth. Most of those children will exit anyway.
On the other, if you don't have children that will likely exit you can scour the streets entrapping victims to get trapped into the cult.
Neither option seems very productive...!
i would assume that some or a good number of us here as normal humans in this society - consider " lawless " actions to include murder , robbery, extortion, rape, child abuse, war , terrorism, etc.
the wt society has their own definition of what's considered " lawless ".
anything that's considered a disfellowshipping offense in the jehovah's witnesses is now considered " lawless ".
Para 20 is ironic as it quotes 1 Pet 5:8 about the Devil being a roaring lion etc seeking to devour someone. Then asks: 'Will that someone be you?'
Way I see it if you're at the meetings and believe then the Devil's already got you...yes, you already ARE that someone!
Sorry, can't add more to the already brilliant comments above.
There is not enough vomit in the world to describe how the article makes me feel! Diabolical. Replete with cult propoganda control tactics!
can someone send me the new elders book in pdf or through a web link?
thanks..
Amazing isn't it. All the secrecy and elder's letters about not letting anyone see the new book who isn't an elder and everyone (over generlisation I know), EXCEPT those in the congregations have got a copy. God really is directing things by holy spirit in the Borg....NOT!
i have just read in these following paragraphs something that would disturb my conscience, notice:.
12 they also saw that there are but two organizations in the universe and that everyone belongs either to god's organization or to satan's, the latter on earth being composed of big business, big politics and big religion.
34 the world's political wild beast rules supreme under the name-number 666, while big politics, big religion, and big business keep that wild beast functioning as an oppressor of mankind and a persecutor of god's people.
Dear JW caller, if the ancient nation of Israel was proof that Jehovah works thru' an 'organization' on Earth, isn't it also true he can cast that 'organization' off, as he did with ancient Isreal as you claim, for refusal to 'quit touching the unclean thing'?
Can you be confident Jehovah has't cast off the Watchtower Organization for joining the 1. United Nations? For accepting shares in 2. Randcam (weapon developers) and for gleaning money from 3. Philip morris Tobacco company?
1. Any JW joining a political group would likely be disfellowshipped.
2. Any JW joining the Army or working to develop weapons would likely be announced as 'no longer a Jehovah's Witness'.
3. Any JW smoking tobacco indirectly 'sponsored' by the Watchtower would likely be disfellowshipped.
Would Jehovah not cast off such a hypocritical organization as you claimhe did to ancient Israel?
i was raised in da "truth", and remained in for quite some time.
reached out for many "privileges", with most of my family being right up there with the select few big wigs that would come down from bethel.
in that time, i broke free and took 99.9% of my family and in-laws out of the cult.
It suck suck suckitty sucks. Their loss.
Some on the body I resigned from were just power trippers and suck ups. I won't name names but when I left my son saw one of them and he asked how I was.
Son said : 'He's really good. He's alright, thanks!'
Super-pious replied: 'Ha can't be alright. he CAN'T BE ALRIGHT!!!!'
Son laughed as he related this cos he knows I'm much happier.
Now I'm out I see it all clearly. I admit I didn't when in as I was waiting on Jar-Hoover to vacuum it all away. Fat chance!
Sinis, you are a hero!! Who sez so? Unky Punky sez so!!!
loading the language is a propogandist tactic to trigger a reaction in the mind.
a prime example is the word 'apostate'!.
i have been called 'spiritually weak' for quitting field service, meetings etc.. how would you respond (without swearing or giving a punch up the hooter), if you were called this?.
Wow, you folks! Some really interesting reading here. You are all brilliant.
It behooves me to appreciate the grand privilege of unity in this time of the end as we go our separate ways so that's fine isn't it brothers. APPLAUSE.
i ask this question in harmony with deedub's swan song thread which i linked below.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/205902/1/time-to-say-good-bye.
to some degree, i think i understand where she's coming from.
just speaking from my own experiences since stepping into the world of anonymous apostacy, i went through a few different phases of personal outlooks.
Nope! That's why I left despite my wife and daughter staying in. I resigned as an elder in my 50's which is why the wife thinks it's just mid life crisis. No. It's crisis of conscience!!
Go to big business anti-Christ cult indoctrination sessions? I couldn't do it.
I really don't know if I believe in God anymore.
I know what I really don't belive and that is the governing body are god's mouth piece. They are the 'filthful syliva' and if there is a god, I wouldn't want to be them!
