i saw a thread on another forum suggesting this...based on all the info so readily available to so many nowadays...its certainly true that the society is warning all the witnesses about it.... what do you think?
is it possible that it could seriously affect their status?
loz x.
No, and why would you care to try? Stop trying to return injury for injury. Leave them behind and move on with your life. Everyone gets whats coming to them sooner or later.
Most you can do is hope they change the faux doctrine to come into the 21st century & stop lying to everyone.
Don't be like them and try to force something on members. People will leave on their own as their eyes are opened.
Is he going to give you a cow for your farm?
the content of the program presented at the circuit assembly: safeguard your spirituality served as a re-affirmation that the wt/gb is loosing the grip of rank & file.
they are becoming boulder and boulder in their blatant use of mind control techniques; in my opinion, their mind control techniques used to be more subtle.
but the content of the program in this past assembly clearly reflected that they are acting out of frustration and desperation.
1. Satanas El Diablo???? ¿Como?
Isn't that the little Mexican joint down the street? Why are the employees out to get everyone? Are they serving bad enchiladas or something? ¿ Cómo está pasando allí?
Weird how they think Satan is stronger than God. If they thought the average JW had any real faith, they'd know they could not be easily "swayed." How does one claim Jesus & Jehovah are the most powerful beings in the universe while being so afraid of "lesser" beings?
2. Protect the Org?
Huh? If its really God's Org, whacha doin asking humans to protect it? Such a lack of faith is sad.
3. Doubts are your fault?
Sure the doubts are your fault, never mind we [GB] keep feeding you stuff for 5 yr olds that you are tired of hearing and can't answer your deeper adult questions, nor can we make up our minds what we believe depending on what year this happens to be due to the rotation of planets in the Andromada galaxy. Yep, uh huh.
4. Praise the GB?
Bend your knee to us! We require worship! Forget that Jesus fellow. WE are your Jesus, WE are your mediators!
My thoughts? Oh, just plain FU! I'll take the real mediator. Thanks.
5. Stay single?
Why should JWs start listening to demonic talk? If they want a bunch of nuns and priests why not simply go Catholic?
Could you just imagine Jesus Paul Peter James etc saying STUPID stuff like this?
that's what my older jw brother of 34 said a few months back.
he actually 100% believes that an athiest cannot have a happy life.. -sab.
"All athiests/agnostics will regret their path and beg God to take them in before their death..."
Let's suppose they do. Would your brother be upset if Jah says kewl and saves them? [Being a JW he'd likely be steaming angry.]
Hopefully at that moment a really big fish will swallow your brother.
well after fading and keeping a low key i think the elders are finally going to get to me.
in 2007 i moved to another city but quickly moved back home about two months later.
the whole time everyone from my old congregation has been thinking i've been in another city.
Just say you don't give out personal things such as phone numbers over the internet.
why are so many christian religions obsessed with other peoples sex lives?.
they even feel comfortable talking about it in a 'public meeting' when children are present.. does it not point toward an unhealthy deviancy in their mentality?.
.
Most fundamentalist groups are crotch obsessed, it ain't just the JWs.
Issues of abortion, contraception, the gays, masturbation, etc ... crotch, crotch, crotch, crotch crotch.
Everywhere you turn someone is raging about what others are doing with their crotches.
so in this passage jesus is talking to his apostles for 3 chapters but it seems that he was ignoring his apostles or just wanted to be heard, what do you think?.
john 13:36-16:5. john 13:36 simon peter said to him: lord, where are you going?
jesus answered: where i am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterwards.
I think the Apostles were kinda annoying at times.
in the june 15th wt it says on page 9 i will just write it out as it is to hard and unbelievable to preface this.
so here it is.. "many who today are members of the christian congregation can tell you that before learning of and adopting jehovah's righteous standards, they lived without moral restrain.
yet, they were unsatisfied and unhappy.
The person known as "Tanya" should have used birth control. Her bad.
i am just wondering .... one of the issues i would hold on to and i have used and heard others use in the ministry is about the preaching ... you know, only jehovah's witnesses are doing it, they are fulfilling this prophecy .... since the organization has predicted the date for armageddon in the past, did they ever make statements as to what degree this preaching had been accomplished or have explanations on this changed over the years as well?.
It was fullfilled in the 1st Century CE by the original Apostles and disciples.
i really needed to find a place to write this as i don't believe i can talk with anyone else about my account, perhaps it is similar to a lot of yours.. last night for whatever reason i said i would go online and look up information on jws.
i have been raised as a jw all my life and baptized the last few years.
i looked at www.freeminds.org and www.sixscreensofthewatchtower.com and couldn't believe how easily the whole of my lifes teachings were refuted.. i can't stop my brain from running, bs just in regards to theology alone (1914, paradise earth, celebrations etc.
How does one PM someone here? On this new board I don't have that option?
