  "Life is so hard!...tribulation and problems abound!" Persecution complex of witnesses.....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  the meeting this week is mind-blowing in the way it fuels the crippling "persecution complex" of witnesses!.

  paragraph 1 set the theme with this gem:.

  does it shock you that you can expect to face many tribulations before you gain the prize of everlasting life?

  It's an Us vs Them Strategy.

  JWs imagine that everything that does not go their way is because of "this old system" or "satan" giving proof (in their twisted minds) that they are gods people.

  When a cult is successful at doing this - they their followers will go along with anything they are told to do or think. Since the whole world (including the kids at school - and your workmates) are under satans influence, and he rules the world, they ANY info not coming from the WT is obviously corrupt. So all arguments are 1 sided.

  Ever-changing teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses - probably the most comprehensive compendium about Watchtower doctrinal changes

  by WTS Archive in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  two days ago a new book was released for download, called "ever-changing teachings of jehovah's witnesses".

  it was originally written by a polish jw scholar (who never was a jw himself) włodzimierz bednarski, with a help from szymon matusiak, who was a jw and an elder, and is a result of years of labourious work to compile quotes regarding every single doctrine the book describes.

  it covers the most important changes in years 1879—2015.

  Wiki is by far the best site for helping JWs wake up.
  It was very helpful to me since I could not say it was "apostates" who wrote it.

  Absolute blind obedience. No accountability.

  by stuckinarut2 in

  it's interesting to observe that in all aspects of life, leaders are accountable to those they lead.. politicians must fulfil their promises, or they are replaced from government.. business corporate leaders like ceos must perform, or they are replaced.. sports coaches and trainers must win, or they are replaced.. yet there are leaders who have often been wrong, have made serious ,mistakes and failed predictions that have impacted the lives of millions.. they have dictated decisions for the lives of millions, yet they can't even be questioned...even in a sincere or polite manner..

  Great gig if you can get it.

  They (the GB) and the system they created that often just steamrolls over innocent people is disgusting and reprehensible.

  In that "article" this stood out to me.

  Often, those who for a time slow down or stop in their worship have not abandoned their faith but are suffering from discouragement. Rather than shunning such ones, we try to give them consolation and support.

  Having been a long time elder - this is as far from the truth as possible.

  And I am experiencing the opposite (of support or consolation) along with my family currently. And for what? Not going to meetings.

  I don't know why you don't think they just bought the rights to use what ever clip they want?
  So much of the convention videos include stock video clips you can buy for $100 bucks - why would you think they would steal music from some artist. Or they might have bought the sheet music and paid the fee to reproduce it.

  What does the JW organisation do for the world?

  by Half banana in

  it gives nothing, it only takes.

  it preaches the end but continues to commute its financial ‘winnings’ into bricks and mortar investments and enjoys the prestige of a world-wide portfolio worth billions.

  the constant postponement of armageddon only helps this business model so the administration is happy.

  Instead of moving humanity forward - it holds mankind back.

  If everyone was a JW - we would be living in caves and looking for Lightning strikes for fire.

  If you add all you find in the bible about Israelites and christians, and then add JWs, their sole contribution to the progress of man through invention and discovery = MEPS.

  What a horrid religion.
