Where Does Watchtower Doctrine Contradict Scripture?

by Vanderhoven7 in

here are some areas that i have found:.

not only is watchtower eschatology offbase, which is not critical, but so is watchtower soteriology … which is critical.

the bible says not to put trust in men who cannot save.

The 120 in the upper room at Pentecost. It never happened.

Don't freak out. And it’s not only the dubs that are wrong. It’s the rest of them all that teach it.

It is quite simple to prove it out. I could post a 3 page dissertation that I wrote 20 plus yrs back, but I won’t. Those that want to know the truth need to do the work.

Heres then breadcrumbs. Use the Jewish calendar and place on each day and week the events described in the biblical account. And there it is. It never happened, there was never 120 persons in an upper room.

And quite Frankly it was technically impossible to cram that many persons into such a tiny room for one, and the construction of the building would not have supported the weight.

For the Passover Jesus needed “a large upper room” just for the 12. Can you imagine ten times that many… and living there for an entire week… that’s right. Go back to the calendar.

Another big win for child molesters!

by lastmanstanding in

it just keeps getting easier and easier to molest.

when big religion has got your back, and you know that you can rape kids with impunity as father religion keeps the door to heaven swinging wide, 24/7 absolution available for the superstitious pedo, why not should everyone rape kids….

the pedophile loophole, the mainstay of the whitewashed, clergy penitent privilege, the hole e grail of the christian whore is swinging open, welcoming the perverts.

As long as pedophiles can go get some absolution from their religious dude and hence be assured of eternal salvation, they will continue to rape kids.

How did it come to this?

by New day in

i am now in my early 60’s.

i was baptized in 1980. i served as a ministerial servant and an elder.

i gave my all for many years but about eight years ago i started to question many things.

lastmanstanding

New day.

We are close in experience, age baptism etc.

I was questioning the org as I prep'd to get baptised. No sooner dunked than I wrote bethel questions about contradictions.

Still, I hung in, met my wife and had offspring. But the questions continued. I voiced these questions to my mummy, rest her soul, while I visited one occasion and she said 'there's a book by a GB who wrote about everything'. She knew this from a long-time friend.

I sought out the book at the library. Interesting story there for another time.

Anyway, I contacted Ray Franz and got books. Crisis of Conscience was powerful. In Search Of Christian Freedom more so.

I developed an ongoing relationship with Ray through letters and phone calls.

The big problem I had was my wife. I loved her much. Still do. And we are still together.!!!

My wife asked me a question about the UN affair one night, finally, after much working on her. I told her about Ray Franz, and in 10 minutes I handed her my phone and she spoke to him also for awhile.

She was out.

I was never under the illusion that the majority are/were. It was much easier for me to question. But I see the difficulty.

I am working on a few brothers. It is getting easier, the stupid GB keep giving us material to work with.

Hopefully, some of them will be posting here one day.

Oh... yes, still loosely associated. It's amazing how little you need to do especially with ZOOM. Let's face it, nobody want's to go to those stupid meetings. It's easy to sideline. But, with the older's getting old, even the little I do to show the face will soon be too much.

I just hope to free a few more before I terminate.

House Bill 1098

by lastmanstanding in

many of you are aware of the ongoing battle over clergy exemption from reporting of child abuse.

the question is, are we in the field doing enough to push for what is right!?.

there are always multiple ways of looking at an issue, and the viewpoint advocated by the catholic church, the mormon church and the watchtower church is that the provision of confession without the fear of being turned in to police allows an abuser to seek help to stop his abuse.

lastmanstanding

Some have commented about how reporting molestation to police will lose religion their money.

Probably, but who cares….

All I want to see is that media outlets present to their readers the simple principle that if the legislators close the loophole that allows superstitious pedo’s to gain their drug of absolution, then pedophiles will rape fewer children.

Email every journalist and explain to them that ending clergy penitent privilege for child abusers will help end child abuse.

There are always multiple ways of looking at an issue, and the viewpoint advocated by the Catholic Church, The Mormon Church and the Watchtower church is that the provision of confession without the fear of being turned in to police allows an abuser to seek help to stop his abuse. And that without “clergy penitent privilege” many abusers that would otherwise be helped to stop abusing children, go on to abuse and abuse and abuse.

Thats one way of looking at it.

The other way is this, if a polluter has a place to dump his garbage, then he will go on generating more and more garbage, confident in his scheme.

Superstitious pigs that believe they can gain absolution for their crimes by simply spending a few minutes in a booth with yet another pig while going over the details of their crime, will continue to abuse children with impunity. They can sexually abuse children left and right while holding a ‘get out of jail card’ in their pocket as well as a ticket to heaven with a fresh stamp from father perv.

If mister disgusting is seeking absolution from a schmuck in a cloak it is because he is superstitious, thinking that somehow the confession mechanism will grant him eternal bliss in the afterlife. Take that away, and his superstitious grey matter will tell him that abusing children will condemn him to eternal damnation, in burning eternal flames (Catholic) or never ending oblivion (JDub).

Not one of the news writers I have spent time entertaining on my tablet has covered this angle. Why not? Are they superstitious also?

Please email, in your own words or copy mine, every news outlet you can to open the glued shut eyes of correspondents that have had been blinded to this simple truth.

JW's in war zone

by Gorb in

jw
friends

there is so much silence about the jw's in the ukraine conflict.

are the jw men arrested because they don't want to fight?

how is that going in the hyper nationalist fase the country is in?

lastmanstanding

And the point is…? Bickering?

I ask, what King, Caesar, Emperor, President or other self-empowered oligarch-dictator has not mounted his White Horse and ridden off with his bow to make conquest?

And in which case of the above, has not the Red Horse made great the slaughter?

And after which carnal warfare has there not come the Black Horse, inflation and hunger?

And if someone can direct me, in which century of the last 2000 years has not the Pale Horse taken 25%, “the fourth part”..?

There is another White Horse coming. The next one is different.

Help please.

by lastmanstanding in

recently, in the past few months, and this only applies to in dubs who might have taken note, the watchtower study edition made a change.

it mentioned the “warning work” where dubs are going to march around and proclaim everyone is going to die.. anyway, this article said it was now only a possibility, not a sure thing.. i can’t find it.

did watchtology change it already?.

Jesus told the governing body about Covid measures!

by BoogerMan in

and then they instructed all the jw sheeple.. july 2022 wt study magazine, p. 12, par.

"jesus provides wise direction in times of crisis.

the benefits of that direction were evident when the covid-19 pandemic broke out.

lastmanstanding

Fortunately for JWs, Jesus directed that they die at 4X the public rate worldwide. In case any of you didn’t do the math, divide the number of deaths into the population, JWs perished FOUR TO ONE.

Yes, for every Catholic that died, FOUR Jehovahs Witnesses croaked. For every Canadian, or US citizen, or any other group, JWs died at 400 percent more.

Obviously because of the fine counsel of the Governing Bastards.
