  After watching it "suggest" a few innocent methods to give more to the FDS. Make sure most of them will be things that have a very negative effect of her comfort personally. Giving up housing, food, and clothing is not the easiest thing for many people to do.

  Jehovah’s Witnesses Recognize That People Have the Right to Change Religions, Just Not Their Religion

  jehovahs witnesses say that people have the right to change religions and that they deserve respect when it comes to that right, but this is not something that they offer to those who leave their religion.

  Playing devils advocate somewhat, the JDubya's actually DO respect the decision of people to leave the Dub's. According to the JW website, “these rights carry with them the obligation to respect the rights of others. . .

  They use weasel words to wriggle out from under the REAL truth. While not TECHNICALLY lying they skirt the edge very close by saying they respect the RIGHTS of other to choose. Members who find out TTATT can leave anytime they want. It is the right of others to choose AND THEN BE RESPECTED after exercising that right that is not true.

  Just my two-cents FWIW

  Luxury Apartments

  by freemindfade in

  this article is basically about how watchtower is going to put the kibosh on some taxes for this rural area of upstate new york, but to me that is not what i find most interesting.

  thinking of it from the psychology standpoint of north american witnesses far removed from ny, first, they hear lett "not" begging for money, then they see an article like this that calls them "luxury" apartments.

  now... i know they are probably not really the height of luxury in fishkill ny, however most witnesses in the country don't know that, they just hear "we need money" & "witnesses obtain luxury apartments".. http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/local/2015/05/12/jehovahs-witnesses-fishkill-tax-exemption/27206609/.

  We must obey any orders that come from "mother" no matter how insane they may be. That must be why they paid $56,000,000 for a property assessed at $31,000,000.

  And then Loony Lett has the temerity to flap his rubber gums about a projected "shortfall" of income versus spending? Are the typical JDubya's THAT stupid?

  What's wrong with building a snowman?

  Just the "logical", conclusion that would be "evidently" drawn from Exodus 20: 4

  Quota from the letter, "The process of composing and recording new musical arrangements for all 150 songs in our revised songbook will take several years to complete.

  So much for the end being "soon".

  Types, anti-types, starting fresh?

  by Crazyguy in

  do you think these changes are being made so they can start teaching the r&f a new set of doctrines?

  or is this just a fly in the ointment just to continue to confuses the masses so they don't know what the hell to think anymore?.

  and if you think its so they can teach new doctrines, do you think their going to go more main stream?.

  They are performing the typical CYA actions of someone who doesn't have a clue about what they are saying and hope no one calls them on their BS. But if they do get called on it then they have the CYA crap to fall back on.

  Why doe New light tick me off???? Next 2 weeks WT Studies

  if you have been a jw for 20+ years you may remember that the wt went into great detail on different illustrations that jesus used and the "type/anti-type" ridiculous explanations.

  remember the revelation book and how those obscure jw conventions of the past pictured big things in heaven and the opening of seals?

  anyway, the wt lessons for the next two weeks do two big things for me.

  I don't think the average witness realised they have just kissed their 1914, gentle times, this generation belief system Goodbye.

  I brought up that very point saying that the Bible nowhere stated that the seven times in Daniel was x amount of years that ended in 1914 and asked if the person I was speaking with could PROVE 19 14 without using the type/anti-type of Daniel as used previously. They stammered, stuttered, um, and uh, and um, and of course COULD NOT!

  Idiots!

  So as I am "listening" to the WT study going on this question was asked. "How do you FEEL about refined understanding?"

  Some of the comments were:

  I feel like we can trust everything the governing body tells us now that we know they are the FDS."

  "We are sooo fortunate to know who the FDS is. The world doesn't know who they are."

  The world doesn't have a clue about the truth."

  Next up is the type/anti-type BS.

  The WT makes the bragging statement that Jehovah has helped make the FDS more discreet. Funny, the dictionary defines discreet as, "not likely to be seen or noticed by many people." So they made a blatant lie right there!

  And who really cares who or what some old goat herder named Naboth was or did?

  I apologize, but this is making me physically ill. Maybe more commentary later, if I can stand to do so.
