OCT 2019 Watchtower - Survival dependant on loyalty to JW Leaders
by Listener inthere is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.
what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.
since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.

I’m so looking forward to the day that the governing boobs are taken away.
In straight jackets.
Funny, I always kinda thought of them swinging on the end of ropes.

What is the biggest doctrinal mistake made by the Watchtower /JWorg. ?
by Finkelstein inpersonally i think it is 1914 and the following " this generation " doctrine.. this particular doctrine went right against jesus's own words of " no one knows of the time not even he " .
he also admonished his true followers to not set a time upon god's own sacred time .. the leaders of the wts even back to the late 1800's set a time calculated on their own theology 1874 being the first time set and proclaimed by c t russell, also proclaiming 1914 would likely be the year of the final day of judgment armageddon.
all throughout the 20th century the wts held to this doctrine but was eventually revised of course when it was realized this generation had passed away who saw the events of 1914. .

I imagine that if you were really to ask a dub the question, and then tell them that answer, they would say.. “oh ...yeah... but we teach Jesus”.
Of course you could then reply, “but teaching Jesus and being Jesus are quite different”
To that they would hum, haw and come up with “well, only in the WTS can you get the truth”..
To which you could add, “So Jesus is the mediator between God and who?”
...”and the WTS is the mediator between who and who?”
At which point the dubster wants to get away as fast as they can.

The biggest mistake? Hmmm.
Ask any JW, “is the Watchtower Society ‘the truth’..?”
They will say YES.
But Jesus said He was “the truth” .... and “the way”... and “the life”.

Do You For The Most Part Trust The News Media?
by minimus inthe media is very powerful.
many news people just want to get a scoop even if their breaking story isn’t checked out for accuracy.
some journalists are precise and double check whatever they are reporting.

The dubs can tell you about 1 Thess. 5:3 all day long. But ask them what the preceding verses say, and they go blank.
They haven’t a clue.
Ask a dub how they will know the “peace and security “ statement that fulfills the verse, as there have been many.
They will tell you “it will come out in the Watchtower”.
Yes, dubs expect “something to be written to (them)” about it.
But they still can’t tell you what the preceding verses say.
1 Thess. 5
1 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers and sisters,[a] you do not need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
So, the dubs don’t believe it will be a “thief in the night”, for the dubs will get written notice. No surprises for them...
Alas, the dubs have never read the preceding verses, as they stay in breathless expectation of “something to be written to (them)” concerning the their in the night.
3 When they say, ‘There is peace and security’, then sudden destruction will come upon them, as labour pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there will be no escape!
The point the dubs miss is as plain ad the day. The nations have always said “peace and security” and sudden destruction has always followed.
But the dubs say “we are different... we are not in darkness, we will not be surprised!”
4 But you, beloved,[b] are not in darkness, for that day to surprise you like a thief;
Again the dubs lose. The verses has a qualifier, “surprise you like a thief”.
A thief is doing wrong, and so when he is caught, it is a surprise to him.
Christians will certainly be surprised, just not “like a thief “...

Luke 10
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to London, when he was attacked by white collar robbers. They stripped him of his means of living, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead on the sidewalk. 31 A JW happened to be cart witnessing the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side with his damned cart. 32 So too, a circuit overseer, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Catholic, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and cared for his wounds, pouring on antiseptic. Then he put the man on his own car, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two hundred bucks[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.
