  Ya wanna know what's worse, even when devout witlesses see this kind of thing they aren't shocked by it.

  This type of slimeballery is so common place that it's considered business as usual for the WTBT$.

  New light is not metioned either.

  The Bible states the light will get brighter, not new, so it will be the same light just brighter.

  Catch phrases in JW literature

  by biometrics in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the writers of jw literature tend to use a lot of fluffy catch phrases / words to support their reasoning.

  e.g.. likewise today (likewise in our time)evidentlywhat are some you've noticed?.

  I almost laughed out loud when I saw the Asleep.

  My first thought was, why so angry?, well we've been lied to for starters.

  130+ years of lies is enough to make me angry.

  Blank post.

  Maybe that is the future of the WTBT$, nothingness.

  I sure hope so.

  When will they merge the BS, TMS, WTS, T into one meeting ?

  by mP in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems to me with all the times being cut from talks, you could save further time and simply smash all the meetings into one on the weekend.

  this would also save the need for those extra kingdom hall songs, and one trip to the kh.

  with all these savings, jws could easily double their ministry..

  @straightshooter:

  They count every Sheeple at each meat-ing and post it on the information board at the back of the hall; even if they don't post it, they do keep track so the circuit oversneer can get stats on the conned-green-nation.

  And no I don't think they will do away with the WTS, I think they will just shorten it.

  Yep, I also like to eat a low sugar diet too.

  Grains and sugar are two of the leading causes of inflammation that cause all sorts of ailments; plus diseases such as cancer feed on sugar.

  Switching may be hard to do if you have the westernized processed food pallet, candida overgrowth or sugar addiction, but stick with it, the longer you do the better you'll feel.

  And, if you like to cook, there are many tasty alternatives using stevia and coconut or almond flour. I just made a strawberry rhubarb upside-down cake last night; it was soooo delicious.

  If you've left JWs for Christ - will the end still come?

  by flamegrilled in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  something i don't see supported much on jwn is the notion that the end of this system is indeed coming, even if later than wts has predicted over the years.. now for those that have left and become complete non-believers (in the bible) that is understandable.

  you guys are welcome to comment of course, but i'm far more interested in some feedback from the people who have left jws and pursued a christian course.

  are you still convinced that there will be a war of armaggedon or do you now interpret the scriptures a different way?.

  What are you really worried about?

  Are you letting religion and the group of long dead Catholic men who "selected the inspired writings” bully you?

  What part of "TRUE" needs "adjustment"?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let us conduct a thought experiment!.

  let's say you work for a huge investment firm run by a brilliant ceo who has a perfect track record for business decisions.. the ceo sends e-mails, text messages and makes phone calls from his remote island hideaway heaven island.. none of the employees ever actually see him.

  they rely on his hand-picked leaders sitting in the big office on the top floor of the corporate building.. these leaders pass along the transmitted instructions as conduits.. what would ever destroy confidence in these hand-picked leaders as competent and honest brokers?

  Great analogy Terry.

  I've always tried to wrap my head around their adjustments too.

  The fact is if God is infallible how can anything coming from him need correction? If he cannot lie all things under his direction cannot be wrong by default.

  SO

  Either God is imperfect

  OR

  There is no flawless God

  OR

  He is not directing the WTBT$ because they have been outright wrong; if they were under an absolute fail-safe ruler, this simply couldn't happen. Even if the mortal subjects were presumptuous, their GOD cannot change or lie, so directing a lie would be impossible.

  Some Witnesses Seem To Relish Bad News

  by EmptyInside in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it may be just my imagination,but sometimes i think witnesses get overly excited when a natural disaster or some violent event happens.

  i guess they feel it proves their point on how awful things are.. my mother seems to be this way.

  she seemed elated to tell me about a couple shootings that took place in our city today.

  I don't know why they feel the need to keep telling witlesses to not look at porn; they don't need it.

  All devout witlesses need to do is watch coverage of a disaster on the news and they'll get their rocks off.
