  Will Lawyers Eventually Usurp Absolute Control Over The JW Religion ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have no trouble thinking this is a distinct possibility happening at some future date .more and more the g.b.members are relying on lawyers to get them out of tight spots that the g.b.

  and the fact that they need lawyers to get them out of.. gradually and by stealth with making little in-roads here and there in gaining some measure of control in modifying doctrines to keep the religion one step ahead of the law ,they eventually manipulate events whereby they can take full control over the religion and oust the remaining g.b.members as apostates or whatever and take full control over the jehovah`s witness empire for themselves .. what do you think ?.

  a possibility ?.

  What’s The Worst Thing About Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  witnesses brag about their brotherhood and incredible love that exists within the organization.

  they say they are really the only true religion.

  is the jw religion the closest thing to jesus christ himself?.

  The fear-mongering they do to little kids.

  Anyone raised in this cult will likely have some form of PTSD after leaving and will need help with their anxiety episodes.

  Breezy - The reality of course was that they were just social retards.

  Punky - I don't think you can broad-brush a whole community because of the actions of someone that annoyed you.

  Thanks for pointing that out. But, I didn't do that. Please reread my comment.
  

  
  Sticking your foot in a home owner's door that they are trying to close is socially retarded, if not an act of aggression. Not every JW did this, but the ones who did were held up as zealous, spiritual, fighting for Jehovah, etc.

  This kind of thing is part of the culture of JW's. - "Remember the zeal of Jehu who tolerated no rivalry before Jehovah"

  Watchtower comments from 2011:

  "There, Jehu “acted slyly, for the purpose of destroying the worshipers of Baal.”​—2 Ki. 10:15-17, 19.

  Jehu announced that he intended to hold “a great sacrifice” for Baal. (2 Ki. 10:18, 19) “This is a clever play on words on the part of Jehu,” says one scholar. While the term employed here “generally means ‘sacrifice,’ it is also used of the ‘slaughter’ of apostates.”
  

  ...No doubt you can see that circumstances faced by Christians today require that they manifest certain qualities possessed by Jehu. "

  
  

  The message is clear: Christian believers that you meet at the doors (or gas stations) are likely apostates deserving slaughter. Threrefore acting aggressively (socio-pathically) towards them is actually a kindness compared to the slaughter they would get if it wasn't against the law.
  

  In other words, the WT socializes and encourages their members to engage in social retardedness. The Russian government uses the term "extremist" to characterize the Organization. I like the term: "social retard".... means pretty much the same thing and varies among individual members.

  Knowing that it will eventually be put to good use when it is sold at 100 % profit... sorta works for me. Think about it:

  The proceeds will likely be given to the victims of Watchtower enabled unreported childhood sexual abuse. I know the leaders wont ever suffer and that the burden will be shifted to the rank and file. But, that is the price the R & F pay to feed their ego, self-righteousness, & victimhood complex.
  
  Pretty hefty price to pay for a near total lack of common sense.

  What if she was tied into the meeting, via phone, while pumping gas, and you came over, dressed in a chicken suIt

  LMAO. That’s hilarious!

  Guess I wasn’t a sheep-like person.... I mean a chicken-like person. ;-)

  The funny thing is that the tract was loosely folded and crumpled, like she was going to stuff it a crack somewhere; but decided at the last second to interrupt me with it. It was unrecognizable as a WT tract to most I'm sure.

  If someone was to watch the scene from the security video camera, I'm sure that it would appear as if a white-haired elderly woman was trying to force me to take a piece of trash. It was a strange experience.

  This 60 something JW woman came up and literally shoved a tract at me. I ignored her because of the intensity of the phone conversation. Then, she just kept thrusting the tract at me trying to distract me. I was thinking, "This woman has a lot of nerve". I finally waved her off and she left.
  
  It reminded me how back in the Rutherford days, pushy JW's would stick their foot in the door to prevent people from dismissing them. When some ended up tarred and feathered, or just plain got their butt kicked, they were then paraded as victims suffering for Jehovah.

  The reality of course was that they were just social retards. What a crazy religion I was born into.

  Whats your opinion? Do JW's invite persecution through their own acts of buffoonery? How so?
