  Is everybody barking up the wrong tree?

  by andrekish in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an idea occurred to me that the fds may not be the gb but something slightly different.. i have no scriptural basis for this statement, only the practical evidence of what i can see and read.. the gb has been accused repeatedly of deceit and misleading people.

  .

  the witnesses themselves as a group are certainly faithful to, and discrete about, their gb depite the gb's apparent errors.. i simply wonder if perhaps the individual witnesses themselves could fit this description: ' a faithful and discrete slave'.. this is entirely guesswork and pretty much unfounded on any solid evidence, merely a thought.. any ideas?.

  I need some scriptual skill Here (what is the good news?)

  by TheLoveDoctor in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  please give me scriptures as to what the 1st century christians were two preach including the body of christian teachings at the time.

  then we can compare that to what gb says the good news is and why one must answer 80 or so questions.

  it will also help me with the ability to prove why i do not wish to be in the door to door work including any scriptual proofs that could be used to show not all should be preaching..

  Anyone here have any experience with the "super-natural"?

  by Knowsnothing in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  and if so, would that prove an existence of evil-spirits (demons)?.

  i have heard of a couple of stories of possession, or of jw's talking to spiritists and the spiritists having seen 2 men following the jw, either dressed all in black, or all in white, and very strong looking.

  yet, i have never experienced any of it.. another experience that i heard is about a brother whose mom had super-natural strength, and tossed something really heavy.

  Does God speak to you? HOW?

  by Quentin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an answer to this question is subjective to the individual an a posteriori experiene.

  however, can there be an a priori experence, one that is objective, outside the bounds of personel experiene, or does it remain subjective?

  god speaks to me, through many venus, except audible.

  The Watchtower, a cult that worships the FDS and GB!

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  with the continual emphasis that the watchtower places on following and trusting the fds and the gb in particular, one can only come to the following conclusion:.

  the watchtower (and the jehovah's witnesses) are followers of a cult that worships the fds and the gb!.

  essentially everything in the bible refers to the fds/gb.. everyone must listen to and follow what the gb says.. everyone must consume the "rich spiritual food" provided by the fds and the gb!.

  New CO talk: Be loyal to Org. even if you get weird instructions or can prove them wrong doctrinally!

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  theme was something about "loyalty to jehovah's visible organization".. i have neither the time nor inclination to summarize the whole thing, but a few points stood out:.

  even if it causes you personal hardship.

  example: joshua & caleb returned from spy trip to promised land with good report, but were "outvoted" by the other 10 spies.
