  Are Jehovahs Witnesses false prophets

  by joe134cd in

  2. beliefs

  i thought this was a very interesting argument by robert king.

  i liked the point he made about if israel had a prophet who spoke in the name of jehovah and it did not occur did this mean that the nation of israel was a false prophet or more so if the nation of israel sincerely believed it.

  the answer to that is a resounding no because the nation of israel was god’s appointed nation.

  Is Child Abuse An Issue That You Personally Have Seen In The Organization?

  by minimus in

  as an elder, i saw one child abuse situation involving a man who wanted to be an elder and had i believe 8 children.

  he was not in our congregation when this all erupted.

  he denied it and moved to another hall and unbelievably, that body of elders wanted to appoint him since they believed his entire family was lying about him.

  One elder in my old hall was disfellowshipped for molesting boys. Another 'brother' who was in our current hall was charged and imprisoned for historical abuse of several girls including his grand daughter. He was at one time an elder (the elders in several halls never reported this pervert to the police)

  Was CT Russell a freemason or not

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  ok. many people deny ct russell was a freemason.

  i have read articles whereby some have found no evidence to prove he was one at any point in his life.. however, given all the masonic symbols in the early publications including the use of the name jehovah ( the name the freemason's use to identify god), as well as the expressions used such as 'new world, new order' etc certainly raises suspicions.. then there is the article he wrote in the herald magazine outlining that he was a freemason (see the following video 40 seconds in).

  it really does make you think!.

  Are we losing our way a bit at JWN?

  firstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.

  it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.

  i am not bashing jwn - i love this place and appreciate the hard work and expense simon puts in to keep it going.

  Nicolaou.

  I was going to write something similar to your OP. I tend to watch YouTube these days as more and more issues are discussed around watchtower. Occasionally, I come to Jwn, but find a lot of 'other stuff' being discussed and can't be bothered. Not sure if topics running dry as a result of the slow lack of change within the watchtower society, resulting in other topics out with watchtower being raised instead?

  That was a very sad and moving story. It is also a reminder of the incredible control watchtower has over people's lives.

  Thanks for sharing this. The watchtower corporations flawed policy on child safeguarding, coupled with their arrogant attitude toward the authorities and media has led to this inevitable situation they now find themselves in. They are their own worst enemy!

  What will it take for watchtower leadership to wake up?

  as the leaked financial meetings show, watchtower (by it's own admission) has to liquidate 3000+ properties quickly.

  how do they choose?

  Isn't it crazy how we only find out such information from leaked videos. The lack of transparency in relation to finances from this secretive religious organisation is appalling. A red flag indeed

  Apostasy: The Movie - Directed by Daniel Kokotajlo

  by darkspilver in

  daniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.

  family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.

  set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.
