Thanks for these answers - yeah, makes sense. It just frustrates me how untouchable they are.

There is something that has always bothered me...
by braincleaned init always bothers me that the society boasts unity, as jehovah's witnesses don't have other branches and groups stemming from them, like the amish for example.
the wts is justified to brag unity of belief; to the point where the same program is taught in the whole world.. i blame those who leave and yet continue to believe in jehovah and jesus (i'm an atheist).
it seems a schism is above those who dissent from the org.

Is there no room for the "Revealed Witnesses of Jehovah"? Or "The Christ's Witnesses"?... as an off-shoot? (just an idea...)

I blame those who leave and yet continue to believe in Jehovah and Jesus (I'm an Atheist). It seems a schism is above those who dissent from the Org. Hence, the JW/WTS continues to sneer at other religions as they do not stay as united - and branch off.
Why is that? Why don't apostates who continue to believe not ''branch off?''
It would prove an important point, no? What am I not understanding?

As for selling their rich properties in NY, Jehovah - who is omniscient, has blessed them with his spirit by inspiring them to sell at the worse possible time to do that, financially. Maybe God in giving them a hint. :D

FDS Nu Lite is most fun I've had on JWN
by mind blown inuntil the official wts study article is out, all we can do is speculate away, kinda like a good mind bending game.
however, they are going to have a lot of explaining to do....... i was wondering what prompted this change, but after reading this on wiki.... (highlighted is mine) the entire article is damning, making them out to be liars.
i gather they recieved enough letters from the annointed regarding the wts claims perhaps.....?

I told my zealous JW mom yesterday - like it was big news... she said "Well, that was a given all along!" ARRRGH! Please don't get too happy here - the VAST majority of our Stepford bretheren will NOT BLINK at this news. Their brains are already fried.
Sorry to be a party pooper. Sigh...I wanted to refer to an article as new as 2008 - and she said to me "Oh son - thats old material. We have continuous new light - don't go back to old understanding. Follow the Organization."
I wanted to jump off a bridge after the call. -

I admit addiction. So much timely information. Great peer encouragement. "Thought crime" is absent here, and it's a vacation from the Borg.
Very thankful for this site. ;) -

To you at the Most Holy who read this to spy on us...

you should be ashamed of yourselves for peering into the real issues while demonizing them to those searching truth or questionning your big brother status.
you have been proven to work for a false prophet, according to deut.

Get a life! You should be ashamed of yourselves for peering into the real issues while demonizing them to those searching truth or questionning your Big Brother Status. You have been proven to work for a false prophet, according to Deut. 18:20-22. Shame on hiding the true history of this false prophet.
SHAME ON YOU.
Since Jesus will judge your bosses for either being a faithful slave or an evil one at the GT only, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.
Good to be an honest and peace-loving atheist. -

How does the WT explain Luke 10:7?
by WildeLover inlooking thur wt cd i dont see any "decent" explanation of luke 10:7?.
(luke 10:1-7) 10 after these things the lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come.
2 then he began to say to them: the harvest, indeed, is great, but the workers are few.

True Phizzy - it's not even lip service at this point. Just knocking on doors to count time. When confronted with real interest and solid questions, they leave to another absent door. It's total bullshit.

Billy the Ex-Bethelite; both in Matt and Luke, the discreet and evil slave are the same. It's at the Great Tribulation that Christ is supposed to judge what that slave has done. They shouldn't even mention they are the FDS yet. THey should just humbely strive to be that good slave. But as usual, they shit higher than their ass...
