  Would Witnesses drink "the cool-aid" if instructed to by the Governing body?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my anionted mum always said she's "willing to die for the truth like the brothers in the concentration camps".....how many witnesses would do this, like the "heavens gate" suicide group or the tokyo cult that tried to start armagedon with subway gas attacks or even the 9/11 terrorists?.

  the brothers in the camps in world war 2 were told by rutherford this is armagedon.

  so they thought a quick death and then "poof"...i'm in paradise.. .

  has anyone heard about this?

  we received an email from an old friend who is still an elder and doesn't know what we are up to.

  "a change, they are no longer training missionaries and sending them into foreign fields.

  I think the main reason that 'they' (sister and her husband) want to go down, is he is kind of a lazy guy. He was asked to step down as a pioneer recently because he wasn't working at all, while my sister had to work fulltime, in poor health, to bring in money for them. I think he thinks they can save a little bit up here, move down somewhere sunny, not have to work too much... *sigh*

  On another note, while I enjoy seeing the posts that the WTS facade is crumbling, I'd like to see something further as to how its actually crumbling. Most JWs are still iron clad locked into the doctrine. Is there some documented proof that they had debit/credit terminals for donations anywhere at any fo the conventions other than posting about it? Was it wide spread?

  My sister said a recent KM (Canada) said that couples should think seriously about moving to another country to help with the preaching work... now suddenly they (her and her husband) are thinking about moving to South America based on that since they don't have kids and aren't going to. I told her I'd come down and haul her back myself if they just up and left... but Iwonder if thats related to the topic...

  i guess that my one year anniversary here has come.. i've made lots of friends... and perhaps a few enemies.. i've made people laugh... i've pissed people off.... i've made people think... i've made people cringe.... i've moved ahead in some areas of life... still stuck in some others.... i've had a lot of fun... i've had some tense moments and tears.... i've been able to make sense to people... spoke utter nonsense at other times.... to my 'fans' here: thanks for the support and having my back... .

  to people who hate my guts: go ahead... take your best shot... .

  either way, i win.

  @Black Sheep well I gave them that list back in early '10 so its too late for that now, I haven't looked back. :)

  So annoying though how they just shake their head with this moonie smile, that I just don't understand cause I don't have the holy spirit... sigh I was born into it and in it for 35 years yet once I leave I'm just some dummy that couldn't understand...

  Here is a sampling of what I gave to them, but after that point it gets way too long to write. Anyways they didn't answer any of my questions and said I needed a bible study with them. :(

  • Why did God create us? [I don’t accept that it was to worship him, that is egocentric and unnecessary for someone with divine power. The answer must be something else.]

  • Why was it better for 100,000,000 people to have died through history, many horribly and beyond violently than Jehovah just getting rid of Satan? [It is not just their deaths that are upsetting, but the tragic lives that have been lived. It really says that all that pain and suffering did not mean enough to God in order to prove a point to beings that He created. If we are so far down the importance list why would he care if we worshipped him or not. As the creator of the Universe and everything in it, a point like that does not need to be made.]

  • Why does the Society discourage doing our own research, and telling us where Not to look, as to the validity of our religion? [Such thought reflects an order more like a cult than God’s Truth. For an example, if Catholics told its parishioners the same thing, the Society would chastise them, in print, that they are trying to blind their eyes to the Truth.]

  • If the organization is really God’s spokespeople on earth, Or guided by him, why have statements changed over time? Examples below:

  • The Society actively promoted Armageddon arriving in 1975, but it did not arrive. Even this one event failing makes me believe that the Society cannot possibly be Gods voice as he would not let false statements become, He cannot lie, is, I believe, the statement. Evidence regarding 1975 from the Society’s published work:
