  JUSTICE #4b - See No Evil, Hear No Evil, ...

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil .

  some see this expression as a positive exhortation to not look at bad things, don't listen to evil, and don't gossip.

  other's see it more like three foolish monkeys who would not look, listen, or speak out against injustice.

  Perversion of Baptismal Vows

  by AlanF in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an appendix in the book contains some 120 questions along with hundreds of scriptural "proof texts" that the proselyte is then expected to study.

  12 jesus commanded his followers to baptize new disciples in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit.

  the following quotation shows what the proselyte is expected to study just prior to baptism:.

  DECEPTIVE JW ELDERS - CASE#4c

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  deceptive jw elders case#4c .

  [the following is a little over 4 pages, but it is worth the read and it gets better as you get to the end.].

  while i personally experienced several more acts where jw elders lied to me personally, the following is the most serious because it involved brother a. i mentioned him earlier where he was lied to by the jc and they used a confidential file against him that they developed over ten years a file he was never allowed to see or defend himself against.. sometime between january 1993, the jw elders on the jc were in the final stages of their meeting with brother a. this was before his first appeal.

  Good ol' 1914

  by MoodyBlue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok folks...i'm actually gonna stop lurking and post.... i am currently being 'studied' with to rectify my doubts (i'm baptized but considered inactive) i brought up the 607/1914 thing and the sister said she'd research it and get back to me... she didn't know about the 587 date (surprise surprise).

  anyway she came back to me saying something about just having to count back 70 years or something and voila!

  it was that simple... she also said the society had prophesied about 1914 being the end of the gentile times.... now i know that ain't so...there was prophecy yes, but it but it wasn't until after 1914 that the horn blowing started about the correctness of the date... 1874 immediately sprang to mind.
