  CO Visits... Are elders honest about the TRUE state of the congregation?

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this question is really for elders or ex-elders (or ministerial servants in the know).... did you find that some elders would tend to "white-wash" the true state of the congregation when they had their sit-down with the co every 6 months?.

  did some elders feel pressure to hide certain things from a co for fear of being "removed" from the boe?.

  (judging by the "fakeness" that some elders displayed during co visits, i have to wonder whether they were really worried about being removed for not seeking out inactives or encouraging more participation during the wt study, book study or fs...).

  I found them to be dishonest about most things so I guess not.

  'The sleep of reason brings forth monsters'. Spanish artist Francisco Goya.

  'I can't stand this wallpaper, one of us will have to go'. Oscar Wilde on his death bed. A sense of humour to the end.

  'Religion is a tree in which all the foulest beasts of the earth have come to roost'. Not certain where that's from but a friend of mine is always saying it.

  questions that defy JW logic No bible needed just a working brain

  by thecrushed in

  even before awakening from the mind control my mind would plague me with doctrine defying logic.

  i'd like to share some of my self explanatory questions here.

  every time i'd ask jw's these questions they would give me bs answers like we will have to wait on jehovah to tell us in the new system or some other lamo thinking stopper.

  I know it's late and I am indeed very tired but I think you will find that there is no JW logic to be defied.

  ? ;)

  Nevertheless I do know what you mean and it's interesting reading.

  Apostasy my ass!

  by Glander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let's call it what it is - disagreeing with the watchtower bible and tract society after baptism into the cult.

  in no way is the literal definition of the word "apostasy" applicable to what the cult is using the word for.

  it is a buzz word that scares the crap out of the rank and file and keeps them from communicating with those who have become enlightened about the cults lies.. we here on jwn have accepted the wt label, "apostates", with a sense of humor, such as calling our get togethers apostafests, etc.. but we are actually the "enlightened"..

  They have hijacked the word apostasy in the same way that they have hijacked the name Jehovah and the bible in general.

  Just because you hijack something it does not mean that you own it.

  They have their own fantasy world I am sure.

  Well, it's an unscriptural teaching anyway so why should any of it make sense?

  In truth, I'm not sure I ever really bought this teaching 100 percent which is mad because everything else revolves around it.

  Fool that I am!!!

  The idea of global warming led to carbon tax.

  And many people have made and continue to make vast sums of money from it.

  Surprised the WT$ didn't cash in on it.

  It's not like them to miss a trick!

  2005 - The year the Society began its decline (without anyone noticing)!

  by cedars in

  i've just finished an article for randy over on freeminds.org, which i've submitted to him for review.

  hopefully it should be online soon, so please keep checking!.

  the article discusses the fact that the watch tower society is already in decline, and suggests the year 2005 as the turning point.

  Well folks, for generations (literal ones, not pretend, made up ones) they have been telling us that they are the only religion that preaches the good news.

  If what is discussed in this thread is true then that day has come because the WTBT$'$ demise really is GOOD NEWS!!!

  Luvin it.

  Yes, as with all WT articles, that made perfect sense to me. A clear and concise, no nonsense article full of nourishing, upbuilding spiritual food served up at the proper time.

  How apreciative we are for such wonderful provisions.
