It doesn't! But, the thing is..the cult is still ruled by imperfect humans that changes it's teachings. Nevertheless all rank and file are supposed to obey and not question these imperfect men.

Don't Blame the Organization for Imperfect Humans
by ranmac ini think everyone here has heard this as a response to questioning or serious concerns about the religion.
i think its a cowardly retort.
a flimsy cop-out.

First time my dad has talked to me in over a year
by Joshinaz insince the "new light" on shunning everyone who doesn't go to the kingdom hall anymore, my father called me on the phone.
he talked to me about three minuets reminding me that the memorial is on the 26th and he would like me to go.
i haven't been to a memorial in over 13 years.

It's so sad...I feel bad for you.
I talked to my mother this morning...she didn't even mention the memorial. OK! She wouldn't dare to do it. I think.

The short sightedness of learning
by CADSkin inin 2 years im surprising my wife for our 20th with a 2nd marriage in italy.
weve been planning to go for the last few years so she knows about the trip.
i decided that since im going to be in italy for a month and since i sit at a desk on my computer for 8 hours a day, i might as well spend that time productively and learn some italian.

"Hubby dreams of learning the violin in the new kingdom. And getting his GED. Meanwhile...."
When I left the Borg I took lessons in singing! Whithin a year I became church singer in a cathedral and some 10 years later I was at the opera stage for the first time! You have to do something with your dreams. Don't postpone.

The World is going to end...
by The Quiet One in..one day, as will our lives.
any day could be the last day of our existence... with that in mind, how would you want to spend your final hours, if you knew that your life was going to end tomorrow?
what would you like to say on that last day, and to whom?.

It reminds of the epicureeans that Paul mentionen in one of his letters. Probably those were the most wise people mentioned in the new testament! Do you remeber Paus writing something like "Let's eat and drink...tomorrow we could be dead""?

I lost my wallet some weeks ago. A young girl with piercings and tatooes took care of it! I am sure she is not a JW, just a normal and good-hearted young lady!

OK, I see...I hope you understand that raising difficult questions can cause severe problems for them. They will probably be asked if they read apostate material, or if they have contacts with apostates.
If they would pose these questions to an elder they most probably will not get detailed facts.
