  Jws are in the matrix but reversed, sort of.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought of this lastnight in light of these new assembly videos.

  we have all seen posts about the comparison with the movie matrix but i think it's in reverse, here's what i mean.

  the jw is in the matrix and yes are the batteries for the machine but instead of thier minds being all fun and happy and life being normal they are the ones being chased by the machines living in zion and thinking thier going to die at any moment.

  1919 Doctrine no longer exists? (Today's Watchtower Study)

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  quote from today's watchtower study article that's being studied at the halls (march 15, 2015, page 24):.

  "understanding the illustration of the talents".

  "when the master rewards the slaves.".

  Honestly, they'll get out of that mess as the oldz who know die off. I mean really, if you knew the outright crazy crap (even in terms of 1800's crazy) they were teaching back then, there's no way Jesus would pick them to even scoop dog poo.

  Really, the steam engine was the Biblical leviathan???? A good bit of the thought at that time was batshit crazy. Whatever "spirit" was directing that I seriously doubt it's the right one.

  That's going straight into the trash can as soon as the 19 y old on the desk gets to paragraph 2.

  Paul's letters would have gone into the trash, as shall yours. It's not that kind of place .... you're dealing with people who think they are infallible.

  If they don't listen to Jesus, they will not listen to you.

  Is it Time to Declare that The Great Tribulation Has Started ?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  2. beliefs

  i don't really engage in doctrinal discussions about jw's anymore.

  they seem to say some pretty crazy stuff.

  but i have read some threads discussing doctrinal changes and how watchtower is really out of ideas and money at the same time.

  I hope they don't do another false prophesy. I don't have time for a psychotic mother who has already wasted a good portion of her adulthood chasing the drunken dreams of deluded men.

  "US-centric" deluded men.

  "Bethelites told they weren’t doing enough, hadn’t reached their potential so about half of them walked out of the talk"

  this was news to me, it's from a year and a half ago,.

  from joe emerson at http://www.christianwitnesses.com.

  bethelites told they weren’t doing enough, hadn’t reached their potential so about half of them walked out of the talk; efforts made to get names of those who walked out but didn’t get them all.

  Hmmm, may require some verification but it doesn't sound too far off base.

  A post from last year which includes:

  1. Tv, video equipment being sent to Fla. where we now know a segment of Brooklyn Bethel is being relocated. Which department is that again?

  2. Wayward Bethelites. .... OBEY!!!! OBEY!!! OBEY & LOYALTY!

  3. Don't know about sick people but I do know the US military is busy setting something up in the DR. Guy should be able to find decent care or simply pop over to PR.

  What were Satan and his demons "doing" up in heaven, before being "cast down" in 1914?

  by Dunedain in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was just thinking about how the wts has been spouting off for years that satan and his demons were cast down to the vicinity of the earth in 1914, but really, when you think about it, what was the difference before 1914 or after 1914?.

  its not like satan and his demons did not have access to the earth.

  satan and his demons always were messing with earth.

  Before 1914?

  Running Greece where his throne was. Then maybe hopping on the Roman bandwagon. Making certain no one could find those Library of Alexandria scrolls. Smirking at how the poor and enslaved were left to die in the Vesuvius eruption.

  Moving on to European wars skirmishes and crusades. Ensuring the Chinese invented gunpowder and SE Asians stopped eating beef. Popped over to the Americas where there were people to yet be slaughtered and sneezed on. (No one gets to hang in the cut, so to speak.) The whole slavery thing. Later his crew hung out with the adventist movement giving them false dates while giggling.

  At some point there's a bunch of those bad boys chained and imprisoned.

  As for angelic DNA and whatnot, who says that went out with the flood? We don't know the ancestry of Noah's wife nor his sons' wives.

  Genesis 6:4 NET

  The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after this) when the sons of God were having sexual relations with the daughters of humankind, who gave birth to their children. They were the mighty heroes of old, the famous men.

  Numbers 13:33 NET

  We even saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak came from the Nephilim), and we seemed like grasshoppers both to ourselves and to them."

  Yerp and nope. I think they were fanatical believers of being God's channel at one point who have easily become obsessed with themselves. Russell became self obssessed too. A touch of dementia doesn't help their cause either, for some. And r&f slobbering in their presence eggs them on to head dragging the floor glory. It's has led to their insanity, from Russell onward.

  Their problem is they bogarted someone else's seat and they don't want to get out of it. After all, jws all but outright worship the GB. They've entitled themselves as "glorious ones", "faithful and discreet slave", G.O.D. in some sick form of Idolatry. They've equated a LLC with God himself and some type of Mary type "mother" shit and I believe it is all purposeful. Seriously, mother???? Mother would be the wife of the Father, of God, not the bride of Christ, the son. There's over 1000 rules from these men. It's bondage and slavery to MEN. Purposeful.

  They lie on the HS saying they are spirit directed. And yet can't get a single "prophesy" right. Their HS is allegedly dumb. Their light switches are broken. They claim God requires an certain amount of hours in FS, that he requires sacrifice, that 'irrelevant works' will save, and it's a bunch of purposeful LIES. They'd rather have adherents following Moses than Christ. JWS don't even get a Biblical baptism.

  For JWs, the GB IS God. I hope and pray that God gives the GB all that they deserve for their purposeful treacherous behavior. For their antichrist doctrines, for calling the HS evil, and for killing the spirit of millions trying to find the truth. May they never rest. Not now nor in the time to come.

  From my understanding, the point of the matter is this: claiming the knowledge however erroneous is not coming from men but God himself. Remember, the small group of guys unequivocally state they are being "spirit directed". They are saying the mistakes are not mere imperfect human (gross) error, its the Holy Spirit. The HS told them falsely.

  ...... And that everyone is the unforgivable sin. Attributing wrong to the Holy Spirit.

  -------------------------------------

  1 John 4:1 WEB

  Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

  1 John 5:5-6 WEB

  Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? [6] This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

  RC Was Worse Than I thought...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was visiting with my family and it seems the rc was worse than i thought.

  now they all seem to think that "we are so close to the end" and that the "brothers are really preparing us for the gt".

  some even saying that soon our message will change to a judgement message for mankind and talking about how we need to improve "everything we do".

  Slick videos, imo. Certainly they are using outside/contract production groups. I think a larger portion of JW are female so going the emotional angle may keep quite a few around a bit longer for whatever nefarious reason. The master is delaying and maybe their arms are tired from beating their fellow servants. Use some tech to gain obedience; saves energy, lower cost.

  Intersting info about moving to a judgment based message. Judgements are for real prophets and post 1st Century, only for Christ. I suppose they could pronounce judgements on the Congos but that would be same ole same ole.

  I just hope they don't completely snap one day and start making video with subliminal suicide messages.
