  How they could change blood doctrine

  by Person in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many people say gb will soon dump blood doctrine to appear less fanatical.

  others saying it is impossible for them to do that because of legal ramifications.

  i think there is a way that could potentially be solution to those problems.

  nowwhat?:

  "If the blood policy was a sandwich.

  "You may eat bacon

  "You may eat lettuce

  "Tomatoes are ok

  But a BLT is absolutely forbidden!!!"

  😸😸😸

  Unfortunately, it's even worse than that! You can't eat the four major components of a BLT (bread, lettuce, tomato, bacon) separately either. But bacon fractions, tomato fractions, lettuce fractions and bread fractions are all allowed, and in any combination! Enjoy your tomato seeds smothered in bacon fat, WT! 🙄

  the jehovah's witnesses have lost their appeal to avoid investigation by a new zealand royal commission.

  "a legal bid by the jehovah's witness church challenging a ruling by the royal commission of inquiry into abuse in care has been dismissed by the court of appeal.

  I reckon that they'll appeal. They have much to lose and keeping out from under another inquiry benefits them*. You can't bet on a court result, generally, so their bet could pay off, should they decide to appeal.

  The WT is trying very hard to strain out the gnat of the wording "in care". The royal commission has already decided that the WT is within its ambit. Even if the supreme court sides with the WT, what's to stop Parliament establishing an investigation specifically into CSA as handled by the WT?

  I can't imagine the royal commission pussyfooting around, once they have the WT in their clutches. With the precedents from the ARC and Norway, this time around they'll be well informed and know what to look for.

  As usual, the WT is playing the "religious freedom" card. Religions are afforded various freedoms by governments, but there is one freedom that they don't have: the freedom to handle and investigate criminal matters and to exclude government police and judicial processes.

  *The upper management, of course.

  Do they really now have a plane in their own livery? Is it a temporary advertising thing, sort of like you can have vinyl signage on your car? Whence this image?

  the watchtower's nightmares have just began in france.

  on april the 9th the french senate passed a new "anti-cult" law that will basically strengthen the hands of miviludes, the french agency, the official anti-cult agency that is cracking down on dangerous cults.

  "Remember the one full page WT declaration against France in the NYT."

  I wonder what they were thinking that that would achieve. It would have been back in the days* when they were still winning their court cases based on the right to religious freedom and so on. So, was this an open letter, designed to get their sugar-daddy, the US government, to come in and champion their cause against France? If there is even a smidgeon of truth to my conjecture, the hypocrisy is palpable. Expecting the evil worldly government to be their white knight? What happened to "waiting on you-know-who"?

  *I too was unaware of this; waiting on a link as well.

  a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

  elder: 'yes.

  i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

  This is great! The more the mainstream media notices these bastards (WT GB), the more government attention will be attracted and hopefully more pressure will be brought to bear, reducing what the arseholes can get away with.

  Apostate lies are NOW fulfilling BIBLE PROPHECY 😅

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new study article 28 watchtower that has just been published on jw.org is about apostate lies and introduces new concepts in their effort to compat apostasy in the congregations.

  so despite the loosening of their recent disfellowshipping rules their fight against apostates is still raging hard.

  according to the foreword of this article, they will concentrate on :.

  "Didn’t you know?

  "Everything apostates say is, by default, a lie. Even the stuff that’s true."

  Reminds me of Garak's "Especially the lies" quote.
