  Watchtower VS Radar

  by little witch in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower as an icon seems to have been used by the wtbts as a tower to watch for the second coming of christ.

  to watch for the things mentioned as precursors of the arrival.

  over the years that has changed.

  Ezekial,

  I liken the watchtower to radar. They seem to be looking for any and all blips on the screen. They still use the watchtower as an icon, but that icon is obsolete. They should rename their magazine (and thus the name of control) to radar.

  Radar would better be the name of what they do. As I said, they are not looking for christ or for outside enemies solely, but for any blip that catches their attention. Their enemies are not outside sources (such as a wathtower would be used for), Their enemies are mainly the citezens below. The have set themselves up to high to see it.

  Lawrence, you are right! Most likely the watchtower will use technology for their own goals....as they do now with the internet.

  If you look for internet media news, 99% of it derives its source from the watchtower site. Sad but true. It is controlled media that is repeated ad-nauseum by news adgencies around the world.

  Check sources, check the root of where your news comes from. It is re-cycled garbage straight from the wtbts most usually.

  Thank heavens that there are other sites that are more balanced, and not controlled by the watchtower (this is one).

  The watchtower as an icon seems to have been used by the wtbts as a tower to watch for the second coming of christ. To watch for the things mentioned as precursors of the arrival. Over the years that has changed.

  Watchtowers were used in days of old, as military devices. Watchtowers were manned by a few people to send a warning when land invaders were spotted. We are talking armies of men here, not spirits, not god, not jesus.

  Over the years, the watchtower has become an ivory tower. The men who man the lookout have set themselves so high up, that they cannot hear the voices of misery and distress amoungst those held within the gates of the city. That in itself has made the watchtower obsolete.

  There is also a failure to grow and change. Modern technology and changing views continue to chip away at a relic. "enemies" are coming by air, by ground, and from within the city gates. All the while, the few in the watchtower continue to command and order. Here is my message to the few men in the watchtower.

  You are obsolete. You are lame. You are ineffective. You have alerted falsely so many times that your voice is a background noise. Your tower is crumbling, you are not protected. You are derilict in your duties. There are better ways.

  For those who love God, and those that need his protection, you have failed. You seek to destroy the people that you originally claimed to protect. You are fighting to keep God at bay, not human enemies.

  If you want to be control freaks, and search not for danger, but for "blips" of human troubles, you should switch to radar. That should help you do your self proffessed jobs better.

  Your foes are not coming over the hills, they are within your camp. Your citezens are pissed and are ripe for revolt. Russia is not your enemy, neither are armies from without. Rather, they are your own subjects. Humble does not win family members. Humble and meek does not win wars.

  Your watchtower is short sighted, and inept. You cannot win this war.

  Familiardumptus- The immeadiate response of ridding oneself of former loved family members if they disagree in any way to a jw dogma.

  Hovahpride- The feeling that overcomes common sense when dumping ones family due to religious differences.

  Resumedhumanities- Those who have been victimized by the above and live better lives free of oppression.

  i'd like to see a chart or list that contrasts what the governing body has given as a rule contrasted with what jesus taught.

  : "truly.....let your "yes" mean yes and your "no" mean no, but all the while be in truth in love.".

  governing body:.

  Russian school children hostage ends

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  such sad and tragic events for young kids to be caught up in.. which parents dropping their kids off for school would imagine that they would never be seen alive again.

  perhaps final proof that "a hard-line approach" does not work.

  all it does is escalate the violence and inhumanity.

  The Mormans own Utah. they own political influence, land, and most every person who lives there is a morman. Can they break away and create their own little universe? No! Hell No!

  The ideas of the minority will not and cannot create a seperate nation. Aint gonna happen. No more than we will allow the jw to take control of an area and impose a minority rule. Such is anti democratic.

  It doesnt work that way....one persons religious views are personal, not nation making. When that happens, run for your life! Seperation of church and state. (read religion and state). Screw theocracy! We cannot allow zeolots of any flavor to take over an entire population anywhere in the world.

  Religion of all kinds must be minimized, and humanitarianism must be propegated.... Universal right to life and liberty does not equal right to autonomous statehood. It means being able to practice your beliefs without taking control of government. It means being able to practice your belief WITHIN CONFINES OF OTHERS.

  To be able to practice freely, without infringing on others....My daughters will not wear a burka, and they will not be made to pronounce jesus as god. Get it????? Religion will not rule our world. Prepare for the ultimate fight any of you who think that an unseen god will rule the world....

  That pisses me off....

  okay, so i know it's not pc to be excited about a storm like hurricane frances, but i reckon since i'm stuck with it anyway, i may as well make the most out of it, hey?

  we are just now getting the first feeler bands from the storm...the wind is gusting hard, blowing the rain in almost horizontal sheets.

  it's so cool!

  I heard it said on television that most of the deaths were caused by flooding during a hurricane and not as many deaths by winds, thus my admonitions to not travel.

  I would be just scared to death if I lived in Florida. I remain worried for you all and in hopes of the best.
