  Motivations for Watchtower leadership

  by GetMeOutofHere in

  i’ve struggled for some time with this question.

  why would the elders, cos, branch committee, helpers to gb and the gb themselves devote their lives to progressing in the organization, if the whole thing is one big sham?

  i have 3 ideas so far.. 1) money.

  I agree with Blues Brothers.

  But

  They MUST be thinking - "whats going on, 1914 is so long long ago and nothing the GB has ever said in the past has come true."

  Does Today’s Comedy Offend You?

  there was a time we could laugh about mindless silly things.

  someone using an ethnic accent, making fun of their own race, making fun of someone’s intelligent, etc.

  we could laugh without feeling constantly offended , upset or disturbed.

  while i enjoyed eddie's music, ric was quite important to me.

  my best memories of my youth were to a cars soundtrack.

  my first "naughty" car (tr7) had a cassette player precariously balanced in the hole in the dash and the cars were in it more than anything else..

  psychological changes in the vocabulary of the wts.

  i have been reading the publications of the wts since i was 6, 60 years now.

  we were too poor to have more than one subscription for each magazine so i had to wait until my mother had read it (she let them pile up).

  The many lies within the Jehovah's Witnesses religion

  by Finkelstein in

  2. beliefs

  jws think their organization is the most honest and righteous christian based faith in the world solemnly chosen by god because of that.

  i thought it would interesting to evaluate the many persistent lies the jws propagate from the top leaders down.

  first up the many lies and biblicaly unsupported doctrines made by the wts own leaders such as pin pointing the exact year and time of christ's return and establishing his throne in heaven, once in 1874 then 1914. .

  some democrats are zealously pushing the impeachment route to get rid of trump.
