  by Vanderhoven7 in

  2. beliefs

  not sure who wrote this list a while back but i think it is worth a repeat....to be added to or subtracted from or modified...whatever.. what's wrong with the watchtower.

  "overlapping generations" - this teaching makes no sense.

  the word used by jesus is in the singular, not plural form.. .

  HOW TO BE LOYAL TO JEHOVAH

  by liam in

  2. beliefs

  a post from another exjw site, shows how throughout the years, in a regular, systematic fashion, the watchtower has influence thoroughly; an ideological point of view, in the minds of it’s members by using bible scriptures and examples, to get the members to do the unthinkable, even if it clashes with modern ethics.

  february 2016 watchtower, paragraph 3 of the article titled .

  "learn from jehovah’s loyal servants".

  In an attempt to cover up his adultery with Bath-sheba, David had Abishai’s brother Joab arrange to have her husband, Uriah, killed in battle. (2 Sam. 11:2-4, 14, 15; 1 Chron. 2:16)
  

  
  Abishai may have known something about this, but he continued to respect David as the king appointed by God.

  I believe this is the first time that I have seen the WT subtley request loyalty while the annointed was in the commission of a "gross sin" like adultery and murder. You can hear the snake hissing behind this one.

  I never can tell if there is really some insidious 'master plan' at work, or if they are just totally clueless.

  How can you not see the master plan? I'll be honest here. I have never considered myself much of a "religious man". I am more interested in business, acquiring wealth, and promulgating my family, children and future grand children.

  I learned to reverse engineer things if I wanted success. Just start where you see an end point and work your way backwards little by little until you have enough of the parts to duplicate.

  When I applied the same process to Watchtower, I saw an elaborate attempt to dismantle the promises of God in the NT. WT bafoonery is what really got me interested in God again after leaving. That, coupled with much pain in losing my mom to this hideous cult.
  
  Think about it. What are the odds that a "Christian" religion would piece together an elaborate scheme of spiritualizing old testament themes to arrive at the conclusion that people can get saved by rejecting a deal brokered by a man who walked out of a tomb that guaranteed the forgiveness of sins?

  Matthew 26:27-28

  New International Version

  27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

  
  

  Master plan? Nah, it was just an accident.

  like the one in tennessee, this one in maddison, wi, was done be a female.

  the police chief points out that: .

  “yes, i don’t know whether [the shooter] was transgender or not, and quite frankly, i don’t think that’s even important.

  As I suspected; It looks like the shooter was a new student at the Christian School, first semester. She previously attended public school at Madison Metropolitan School District.

  Both of our kids went to a non-denominational K-12 Christian school the same size as the one in WI. I've seen parents take their kids out of public school and enroll the kids in a Christian School thinking that the proiblem with their child is their environment. Wrong. Their kids were just as troubled.
  
  You can't feed kids a years-long steady diet of woke ideology, nihlism and evolution while living in a home without love and expect them to not be mentally ill.

  I think one flew over the cukoos nest at that convention. Some of their insanity can be found here:

• w60 6/15 pp. 377-381
• Part 40—“Your Will Be Done on Earth”

Here's their timeline:

Began the end of January, 1919

Ended the first half of September, 1922, at the second Cedar Point (Ohio) convention

“THE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE DAYS” (Daniel 12:12, AT):

Began the first half of September, 1922, at the second Cedar Point (Ohio) convention

Ended in the month of May, 1926, at the London (England) International Convention

“TWO THOUSAND AND THREE HUNDRED EVENINGS AND MORNINGS” (Daniel 8:14, RS):

Began in the month of May, 1926, at the London (England) International Convention (May 25-31)

Ended on October 15, 1932, with the official publication of notice in The Watchtower
