  JW Dogma Analysis For Lurkers & Faders to Consider

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this post is necessarily lengthy, but my hope is that these 14 examples of wtbts dogma will be examined closely by those who either have something to gain by doing so, or those who can provide "new light" for any of the topics.. "however, you may say in your heart: “how will we know that jehovah has not spoken the word?” when the prophet speaks in the name of jehovah and the word is not....true, then jehovah did not speak that word.

  you should not fear him.

  " [the prophet] (deuteronomy 18:21-22) .

  Thank you for these solid and concise points, @The Fall Guy! Hope you don't mind - I've saved this as a Word doc for future reference. Really well done.

  something i have noticed from watching many of bridgets videos is.

  how many jws hang up on her.

  this is what jws are famous for, having the door slammed in their face.

  @Diogenesister Really???!!! I really love her approach. Once a week she uploads three new videos and I'm either in stitches, in awe or just gobsmacked by the dialogue that unfolds.

  In one of her recent uploads, she actually got quite far with the amount she was able to say to this JW woman over the phone. Usually they hang up very quickly when they realize she's not some clueless ingénue who wants to know when suffering will finally end.

  You won't believe this ... Jehovah's rich blessing has befallen me !!!

  by dubstepped in

  2. friends

  my dad died a couple years back (not how you thought this would start, i know).

  he was an elder, and a very emotionally abusive father, well before the point where he ever shunned me.

  he died pretty much penniless, and never would buy life insurance or anything.

  JWs at the Movies

  2. humour

  so i was watching some of the dramas screened at the be courageous convention, and one caught my eye.. it's the scene where a group of jw teens are watching something deemed as "sinful" at the movie theaters.

  there were only sound effects, so i decided to fill in the blanks.. https://vimeo.com/275184883.

  bottom line: machine guns = bad.

  @Room 215 Trust me, "Aprostate Cancer" is less funny than my real full name (thanks mum and dad).

  @Normalfulla Mark it under pornography. That way all the elders and CO's will download it.

  @cleanideas Dead set, that's what happened when I saw the videos at the Remain Loyal convention. I got up and walked out. Forever. Then posted a negative review on Rotten Tomatoes.

  Bottom line: machine guns = bad. Maniacal screaming and piercing shrieks = no-no.

  So, be courageous and walk out of that stupid convention. It's simply not appropriate for Christians.

  Overlapping Transactions

  this afternoon, i had a vision.

  one of the past, present and future.. .

  over the past two decades, i recall one distinct, universal phrase being uttered by older jehovah's witnesses on many different occasions:.

  @humbled Wow. You remembered. I just reread that link and my eyes misted over. The correlation between unsolicited elder interventions and Jehovah's Witness suicides is something that should absolutely be measured. The psychology behind them being guided by Holy Spirit and thereby executing "divinely backed" judgement against the believing party is disastrous.

  In my late teens, unbeknownst to me at the time, the body of elders had a vendetta against my parents. I bore the brunt of it as a suddenly defrocked Regular Pioneer. I remember the venom, the raised voices, the unfounded accusations as though it all happened yesterday. And that was a decade ago. The ramifications saw me admitted into the ER for trying to end it all. My clinical depression was born and I lived on thinking to myself each medicated day, "if the elders think such vile and cruel things of me, then obviously that's how Jehovah sees me." From that standpoint, what was the point of going on?
