  check out this awesome video - part 7 in a series where a mormon uses the witnesses as a proxy to figure out why his own faith is wrong.. sparlock, hassan's bite model, and even the 2013 "human apostates" convention talk all make cameos.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmesmlhydru.

  calling all elders - what goes on at the week long elders school?

  by not bitter in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my dad is currently attending a week long elders school.

  dad is in his 70's and not in great health at the moment so this is adding to my anger that he is having to leave the house at 7am and doesn't return until 6pm and then has to lock himself away to study further in preparation for the next day.. he has also been told he is not to discuss anything about the school with other elders until they have all attended.

  what are they learning about that isnt' already out there for all to read anyway.. they can't be learning more bible stuff as the bible is there to be read by the general public so i can only assume that its all top secret stuff that the rest of the congregation can't know about.

  ' One brother said: "I like to do extra research and tell the friends about". Our instructor said: "So you are telling me that the Governing Body didn't do a good enough job on the article"'

  Wow, not only are they against higher education, they're against doing research in their own publications! There's a word for the type of group that does this. . . Hmmmmm. . . what is it. . .

  Oh! It's a cult!

  "in a similar way, at the beginning of the 20th century, there were a number of wrong expectations among true christians regarding the last days.

  'Hence, in 1922, J. F. Rutherford, who then took the lead in the preaching work, told those assembled at the in ternational convention at Cedar Point, Ohio, U.S.A.: “Behold, the King reigns! You are his publicity agents. Therefore advertise, advertise, advertise, the King and his kingdom.”' p.14,15

  Hence, we lied some more and set a new date, 1925, but you'll never know - we provided you this quote with no context.

When their hopes were not immediately realized, an earnest reexamination of the Scriptures brought into focus that a great preaching campaign lay ahead." p.14

  Yup, it was their wrong expectations, not the fact that we printed this bullshit up as true.

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  firstly, thanks to atlantis for providing us with the 2014 theocratic ministry school & instructions.... http://www.sendspace.com/file/d4djjj.

  what i found most interesting in this 2014 theocratic ministry school schedule were the subjects that would be discussed during the week of jesus' supposed 100th anniversary on the throne.... week of oct.6.

  bible reading: deuteronomy 1-3 no.1: deuteronomy 2:16-30 no.2: relief from satans wicked in?uence is near (rs p.3654 p.3663) no.3: does the bible teach that sexual relations are sinful?

  Just looking that over myself. . .

  Pretty vanilla stuff if you ask me.

  Almost like "One century of Christ's Invisible Rein? Meh. . . ."

  This process is like having a close friend or family member die.

  That is exactly what it is like. Excellent choice of words.

  More bad chronology from the Watch Tower Society

  by Jeffro in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems that more often than not, when the watch tower society says something about biblical chronology, they're probably wrong.

  this seems to be the case even for uncontroversial matters!

  insight on the scriptures volume 1, page 584 states (bold formatting added):.

  goatshapeddemons mention of chess being banned by jw's at one time was a new one to me.
