  The "Jesus is Michael" teaching soon to go?

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  could the teaching that jesus is michael the archangel, be soon to be discarded?

  first of all, watchtower is big on image and this is one of those teachings that paint the jw religion as being rather kooky and heretical.

  secondly, this teaching is not an original watchtower teaching but one they inherited from their second adventist ancestry.

  That isn't even in the top 100 baseless things they spew out that they would think about changing.

  Ridiculous (degrading) comment on society's video

  by Festus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on video "benefits of divine education" william samuelsson makes totally appalling comment.. starting from 3:05 he refers to "an effort" that was made in past to see how society's curriculum corresponds with normal - worldly - universities.. then he claims that following question was asked (to university representative) "how we in five months can teach the same that for them takes two years"?.

  according to w samuelsson the representative of a university replied something like this: "your students are motivated, they have come to learn where as our students have been send to university by their parents and might have something else than learning in their mind".

  this is to crystallize what he said.

  There was an elder in my hall - that could bearly speak English - who would always comment how Jahs Edumacation is = to a Harvard degree.

  People would eat it up.

  The irony that he being in the org for 40 years - in the school that whole time - could not write a decently constructed sentence - pronounce simple words wrong like NORTH (he would say NORF) or even really understand what he was saying himself.

  Now it's not his fault he never finished High School - but to say you got better than a Harvard Degree - delusional!

  Yea - how many times did we hear proudly - "this is a school you never graduate from"

  Why? Is public speaking harder than Astrophysics (which you do graduate from)?

  It was just a mechanism to control your life - with the same refrain - You can NEVER do or BE ENOUGH!

  The average Witness will continue to follow Watchtower leadership whether right or wrong.

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i hate to say this, but given my own experience as a jw for almost 3 decades, i am beginning to believe the average jw will continue to look to and be guided by the gb regardless of whether they are right or wrong.. despite all the scandals and negative media attention the watchtower organisation is receiving, life seems to go on as normal in jw land.

  it's truly bizarre!!.

  clearly, the gbs tactic of mostly hiding away from the media is clearly working for them.

  Doubling up on Circuit Overseers for Apostahunts?

  by Wakanda in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in my area i know of four congregations dissolved in one circuit, so that leaves eight weeks a year empty for that circuit overseer's calendar.

  dissolving congregations is happening more than in my area, so i believe we can assume other c.o.s have open time.

  it appears that c.o.s are visiting with a companion c.o.

  OMG the whole thing is evil.

  The girl before 3:05 - yea you cant put a dollar value on that education because it is worthless!
  It has no value except in Cult World!

  (just put it on a job app and see how far it gets you)
  
  And how nice that the Old Cook didnt bother to say "what university" or "what person" agreed with him?
  Complete BS.

  God doesn’t foresee/foretell future

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if god foresee/foretell future, he could definitely have foreseen the communication revolution we experience today and sent jesus in the first half of 21st century [instead of first century] where the whole world could watch him performing miracles live as we watched will tsai, a young japanes visualist who brings dead fish back to life in america's got talent 2017—especially because god’s will is that “everyone is to be saved” (1 timothy 2:4)-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9af4wvd6cz0.

  if god does foresee future, it would mean that incident are foreordained in which case it is not foreseeing.

  but truth is that he has not fixed events.

  Jehovah's Witnesses and the Picnic Extinction

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  jehovah’s witnesses and the picnic extinction.

  (“those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end…”).

  it was another world back then; another time and another place.. you had to have been there to have any sense of it--as a young, impressionable jehovah’s witness under the watchtower presidency of nathan h. knorr--social gatherings (backyard bbq’s, swimming parties) among the ‘friends’ consisted of having a great time at a get together or a picnic.

  Vandenhoover7 - 1914 cant ever go and the Cult survive.

  Just like Service cant go.

  DFing cant go.

  Blood cant go (they have pushed to the limit with the fractions).

  Mandatory meetings cant go.

  GB being the voice of god cant go.

  These are all the mechanisms that keep the Cult together.
