  A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  obviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.

  and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.

  in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

  I think fisherman is sometimes being contrary just to play and have fun. I'm not convinced he/she/they are really being serious.

  FM - The great tribulation will “shortly” hit any day now

  Is this an 'overlapping(tm) day?

  It all sounds a bit bizarre.

  Nothing will happen any time soon, you know! I'm willing to bet on it.

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  being born-in and raised as one of jehovah's witnesses i remember a common theme or phrases used by the watchtower in its theory of why things are the way they are -.

  jehovah created humans.

  jehovah created humans as free moral agents.

  Not being funny, but I'm not convinced a does God exist.

  Elders won't tell you who have falsely accused you

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  having been a victim of this practice twice, i thought i would see if others had the same experience.

  on one occassion, i was before the elders being told i was drunk on a certain day at a certain time.

  ( this was only brought up because when i was pushing for a meeting because of elder mr x adultery , i was threatened somethings would be brought out about me if i persued the meeting.

  EIE - I hope you are not still hypnotised by this fraudulent excuse for a religion. I hope you have seen enough for the scales to have fallen from your eyes.

  It isn't a real religion, it's just a money making corporation that doesn't give 2 hoots about you or anyone else.

  Their ways are not Biblical even if they pretend that they are.

  I refer to S Hassan's book Combatting Cult Mind Control for assistance in seeing this.

  Money donated for a specific reason

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i decided to do this posting because of some comments in the post about pensions.

  in the mid to late 1980's there was a flood and the local kingom hall was damaged and many of the friends homes were damaged...groups came in to help repair.

  my then mother-in-law literally lost everything-she had no home to repair...she had been renting a small trailer and it washed away.

  EIE - The WBT$ only care about getting money for the corporation. They really don't care who suffers in the process. This is passed down the ranks so that any sniff of money will not go to help anyone. The WBT$ demands it all for themselves.

  You have to remember they need all the money they can get so that they can protect paedophiles in lawsuit payments and providing drunken TOMO the turd with as much booze as possible. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the money is used to get the GB children to abuse.

  Why does anyone expect love from this bunch of pervert loving pigs?

  DJW - ........you persist in believing in Christianity. Why?

  I wonder this too. I also wonder why some believe in other Religions too.

  I'd be interested in an answer to this.

  I mean, believe what you want to believe as long as no harm comes to anyone. However, it seems that most religions will engage in bloodshed.

  How can JW's have a CLUE what the New Covenant is about...

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...when their "slave class" doesn't?.

  it-1 p. 524 covenant - the covenant is forever in operation.... it-1 p. 524 covenant - the purpose of the new covenant requires that it continue in operation until all of the “israel of god” are resurrected to immortality in the heavens.. the new covenant is forever in operation, but only until the "anointed" have popped their clogs, been raptured to heaven, and morphed into 144,000 melchizedek king-priests.

  (just like christ!).

  I remember when I was a fully hypnotised Jobot, I tried to research this along with the 'covenant for a kingdom'.

  I came away wishing I hadn't tried. I thought it was because I wasn't 'spiritual(tm)' enough to understand it.

  Now, of course, I know it's because the WBT$ prints mentally retarded refuse.

  "A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants." - Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher

  Said the man who died alone with his cat.
  
  

  I started reading about determinism but it was a total word salad. I stopped reading because darn that noise.

  I think 'cause and effect' is all I need to know.

  There is a question about behaviour, 'is it nature or nurture?' IE, Comes natural or was taught to us.

  As far as I can see, our actions are responses and not necessarily pre-programmed. Often I am advised of a certain course of action. However, my responses are often down to money....lack of. Expensive will rather than free will.

  .......where am I going with this? I confused myself.

  Anyway (anyways with an 's' on the end if you are the other side of the Atlantic to me)....

  I still haven't found that rich widow!
