i watch the watchtower leaders crumble, slowly crumble.
one nonsensical move after the other.
you have no idea how this makes me feel.
When God sent Moses to Pharaoh, He armed him with the demand "Let My people go, that they may serve Me." At one point Pharaoh was okay to let them go on his (Pharaoh's) own terms. One of the teachings here ... Israelites could not serve YHWH when service was regulated by any other master than YHWH. The way JWs follow and believe the WT teachings amount to idolatry.
One cannot serve 2 masters - God and the WT corporation.
i read on another topic " i remember when i used to carry microphones years ago in the jw cult- only about 30 % had their wt's pre-studied, the rest just wing it i truly believe" and it reminded me that people will assume you are not familiar with the material if you have not underlined, and that there will always be those who observe the lack of ink and consider you must be unprepared (and so 'weaker' than them).. many times i used to fake prestudy just for that reason.
its easy to do, underline a random sentence or 2 in each paragraph or the sited scripture.
you can wizz through an entire article in 3 minutes....did anyone else do that?.
Yeap ... LOL! Just ramdon lines to give the impression that I have studied it. These days I see how lying, judging/gossiping came so easily to me I learned from early childhood. I have changed so much ... I was such a bad person, co-worker, friend, before. I had a conversion, my heart, my mind, my thoughts, everything changed, and I didn't do it myself, I got help from the Holy Spirit. It was like if someone else was directing my thoughts, steps and everything ... hard to explain.

As long as they don't confessed JESUS as their LORD, SAVIOR and MEDIATOR, no matter how many changes they make, they are still an established SECT of Christianity. You are still attached to an "organization" you need to learn how to worship in SPIRIT no matter what the Watchtower Corporation does, plus one needs to FLEE from organizations like the WT Corporation. Don't be afraid to WORSHIP in SPIRIT, GOD seeks for such like this. Get the corporation, worldwide organize religion out of your mind. See how the Watchtower is being affected by the economical downfall in the world --- another proof that they are also part of that system which they preach will "soon" be destroyed. They are collapsing with it. DO NOT BE AFRAID. Do not serve God to avoid being killed in "armageddon" - the Gospel is about see how GOD LOVED US FIRST and we respond to that love. Serve God because you have understood His love for us. Not because your fear of punishment. Watchtower preaches a FALSE GOSPEL. God looks for people that LOVES him with all heart and mind ... not for people that fears him ... or want something from Him...
standfirm told me thatl.
ife is to short,.
the jw organization says that two witnesses to separate acts of wrongdoing are acceptable for someone to be df'ed.. "if there is another witness to the same type of sin on the part of the accused, this would be basis for forming a judicial committee.
I hate the fact that the WT believes all the acusations of sexual abuse against the Catholic church and they denied their own. The people acussing the Catholic church are grown ups now too ... the WT claim in ther stupid magazines and books that they simpathize with the catholics that were abused, they sound so loving towards them, YET, they are a bunch of hypocrites for not standing by the claims of their own children - some grown ups now. I am very passionate about this, as my niece was sexually abused by 3 different JW from the time she was 5 until 13.
This fact is another proof of the kind of "religion" they really are - actually they are an established SECT.
these comments and the references to the old publications are a true find.
have a read of this and you will never become one of the jw's!.
don't associate with outsiders (non-jehovah's witnesses).
You know what? I am supposed to love everybody, including the people in the Watchtower that wrote such stupidity - but sometimes I really wish they won't repent and God will judge them NOT WORTHY of His Kingdom. They have broken or made disfunctional so many families.
Children are supposed to HONOR their parents, it is one of the Ten Commandments ... the WT teach the children to dishonor their disfellowshipped parents with all the do's and don'ts they impose on families with DF'd parents.
for me it was many things.
most concerned certain teachings that invloved genders, children, sex, sexuality and sexual orientations, disfellowshipping, apostates, blood, rape, and few other things, as well as the jw's unloving attitude toward so many people..
Endless list ... and ditto to many reasons posted by some here, including it was the "family religion" I didn't know anything else but since very young I could not reconcile the Watchtower teachings with the bible. After a trip to the Watchtower building in NYC I was like so DONE with that corporation --- I saw projection charts going for years ahead ... I was like, what? they keep preaching that the end of the world ... their only focus there is the printing of books and magazines, not saving souls. The Watchtower CORPORATION is an established sect. One only need to study its founders. Thanks to the internet this is possible now.
regarless of their identity - in fact, if they are really "discreet" their identity should probably remain unknown - do you believe the bible speaks of a spirit annointed class of folks, a limited number of humans that have been called to heaven to serve with jesus?.
.
Yes, I do believe in the promises God made to Abraham ...

A lot of confusion would be solved if true seekers of the truth would look into literal Israel in prophecy today. God is not done with literal Israel yet.

LOL - my mother told me that the WATCHTOWER CORP was HACKED a while ago and that's why we find contradictory info now in their literature.
I AM SERIOUS people, I almost fainted ... this corporation is truly EVIL - they are spreading these lies among their followers.

The Holy Spirit is perfect, it does not make mistakes.
