  2. friends

  i escaped the cult many years ago.

  as a result, i have an eye for cultlike thinking, whether in terms of religion, politics, centrist thinking, etc.. last december my fiance and i had a baby.

  she is black and i'm white.

  focused on self-development and transformation by way of occult and magical techniques.

  I had enough of that while in the Watchtower.

  Jesus is found throughout the Old Testament if you look for him:

  
  

  Now when did God have a dead body?

  The phrase, "thus saith the Lord" appears over 400 times in the Old Testament. It does not appear in the NT even once.
  
  But in the NT Jesus said, "I say unto you" 135 times.

  What JWs don't know they believe

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a post this morning, i suggested that a way to wake up fellow congregants is to plainly comment or make talks on teachings and rules the jws don't really know too well.

  the idea is that you can say these things, other jws will be bothered by the comments, but will not be able to do anything about it as this is the official teaching or stand on this or that.

  the key here is that when troubling rules and teachings are thought in the watchtower, they generally use wording that makes them go down easy.

  *** In the "Revelation" book, there is one instance where wt states that the "anointed" have to sacrifice the right to paradise, in order to make it to heaven, like Jesus, who as the second Adam, had that earthly right.

  Good point Waton. Yes, the GB considers themselves as martyrs and as paying some price like Jesus did.

  This is why they are constantly drawing attention to their own authority instead of Jesus. They are the instead-of-Jesus option, an anti-christ.

  They deny the Christian doctrine of Substitution, which states that Jesus died for you, to pay your penalty. The WT says that Jesus died to pay back what Adam lost.

  Since the WT teaches that you can self atone when you die, most members never realize the importance of Justification... which is also denied to members.
  
  Justification means that there is no debt. Instead they teach, that through will-power, you can grow to perfection even though scripture rather forcefully states that by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified!

  As soon as someone puts faith in their church affiliation and works, what God offers is off the table.

  It is cruel irony that when a person seeks to identify THE F&DS, instead of Jesus, they become very unfaithful and indiscreet... as well as a Watchtower slave.

  Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated

  by RolRod in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.

  they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.

  although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..

  Mmmmm, you got 80,000 families a year being destroyed through the disfellowshipping practice alone. This does not include the thousands of families destroyed and lives taken from the blood policy or the lives destroyed by unreported pedophiles in the Watchtower Organization. They are also criminally responsible for countless suicides due to their teaching that a person can self-atone when they die.
  
  Face it; The Watchtower organization started by Russell has been a sociological nuclear bomb unleashed on the human race. Our families just drew the short straw that's all.
  
  I am also utterly shocked that ANY WT monuments still exist. There is good reason for GB members to have body guards wherever they go.

  The Stupidity Of The Biden Administration Knows No Bounds

  by Simon in

  so picture this, you are suddenly withdrawing troops after 2 decades in a country and, well, its all gone to shit.. how do you ensure that your vulnerable citizens and allies can get out when the airport is surrounded and no one can get through?.

  option 1: it's a trick question surely?

  you don't get yourself into this mess in the first place - you withdraw the citizens first, not last, duh!.

  We witnessed the slow "managed decline" of the USA under Obama where he went apology tours around the world and generally weakened the US in a number of ways on purpose.

  We are witnessing more of the same. Biden knows what he is doing just as Obama did...they are not stupid.

  Mormon doctrine states that when the husband dies he must invite his wife into heaven or else she doesn't get saved.

  Think about that for a minute.

  I've heard this before; Two separate letters ONE FOR THE ELDERS AND ONE FOR THE PUBLISHERS.

  And don't forget the two separate WT magazines.... one for the unsuspecting public and one for brain-dead drones at the KH.
  
  Yes, we have seen it all before.
