  Funeral Fashion

  by ThinkerBelle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a funeral to attend for a non jw family member and the jdub family member reminded me that i should not wear black.

  for the life of me, i can't recall where this belief came from in jw teachings and i'm born in.

  is there something in print or is that just a personal opinion belief?

  Wear Red, yes the Red dress that Rhett in Gone With the Wind would require of Scarlett. When they gasp for air, just smile and walk away.

  Whole Study Article on Commenting at Meetings

  by JW_Rogue in

  2. experiences

  i guess less people are commenting now.

  last week's whole wt study was dedicating to the issue of commenting.

  people were literally making comments about how to comment, it was very meta (not that most there would get that), anyway the main reason that wt gave to explain away people's lack of commenting?

  'This point from the Faithful Slave in paragraph 12 ties in well with the pedophile problem that is costing the Watchtower and Bible Tract Society 100's of millions of dollars because they keep insisting offenders should not be turned into the proper authorities and try to keep it secret."

  Be Bold Circult assembly

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at the 2018-2019 be bold circult assembly yesterday.

  yes, curcult, change the i to an l. because when they have 2 demonstrations about youths not going to university and another talk says for adults at work to be bold and refuse birthday treats being given away, it shows so much pettiness and lack of real concern for the people.. i was actually looking forward to the ca because a week before tornadoes went through our circuit and passed 2 miles by a kingdom hall and less than 1 mile by another that had meetings that afternoon.

  i was expecting the circult overseer to give a report on it.

  "But you have to participate in this scam in order to have a chance of a decent job--that is why this scam continues (there is no reason why it costs so much to get information that one could get online for less than 10% of the cost, if not for free, aside from showing employers that you will not challenge the status quo)."

  I agree. It seems that the gate keeping employment trolls have made a college education the toll or price to be paid to get certain employment. It keeps them in power and provides themselves continual employment . The exceptions are some of the most successful computer based businesses in the last 30 years have challenged their lie, but ultimately ended up feeding more college entrants.

  I had a teacher in an intro economics class for seniors in high school, (I was a Freshman) say, "You may get an education, in spite of the educational system." Life is a learning experience, not just two, four, or twelve years. I learn something every day through a wide range of inputs.

  My Father was opposed to my going to college because he knew that I could make a good living without the debt associated with further education. He was correct.

  However, even the most basic university courses have projects that make you write creatively. Writing about any subject makes you do research. There's a connection of the personal research done, making sure that it is from accredited sources, and your drawing your own conclusions and arguing them on paper, that you realize that you could argue either side.

  Once you realize that you could argue a number of ways on the assigned subject, and that you have to rebut at least some of the opposing ideas, it doesn't take long for you to realize this about any topic, and then the WTBTS's arguments situated on a house of cards deteriorate and collapse.

  I am totally committed to getting an education but there is a variety of ways to attain one. The most vital education is one that protects you from hustlers like the WTBTS selling their snake oil that doesn't just take your money, but imprisons your soul and takes your family as hostage to make sure you keep enslavement to an elite few.

  The monetary expense to realize that WTBTS is full of it: Priceless.

  not that i spend much time on the cult's website, but i like to skim through their latest propaganda to make sure i'm up to date with their nuttiness.

  (and when i say skim, i mean just that.

  the wafer thin, dumbed down content can be read in like 2 mins flat).. i just had to share my thoughts on the above piece of trash.. no.

  David, was made fun of by his brothers for only being a shepherd while they were important warriors. However, David used his time wisely, learning how to skillfully use a sling with rocks. This insignificant skill used to defeat Goliath paved the way for David's Kingship of Israel.

  I always love to hear "old Men who have never had any children" perspective about child rearing, especially when they are giving self-serving advise.

  Hidden history of the Watchtower religion

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the deeper you dig--the less impressive jw’s become!___________________you may think you know the men who are vitally important to the birth of the religion--but chances are good you’ve been kept in the dark.. _____________.

  did you know?the 1st case heard by the supreme court of the united states concerning the watchtower society involved a director (an officer) of the watchtower, william franklyn hudgings.. a brief description of hudgings and his character.hudgings was an attorney, quack doctor, self-identified ‘scientist’, a pro-zionist, and religious enthusiast who over the years held various director and officer positions in the watchtower society, and the affiliated people's pulpit association and international bible students association.

  at the time of this particular case, william hudgings acknowledged being the corporate secretary of the people's pulpit association and acknowledged that his daily duties included the administrative charge of printing of the watchtower magazine, the bible student's monthly, the kingdom news, and other watchtower publications.. (hudgings was also re-elected to the watchtower society board of directors in january 1919.

  well friends what is before us in the coming year?.

  i often end my postings with 'live long and prosper in wisdom and health.

  ' this live long quote is taken from star-trek and it was the late wonderful leonard nimoy who suggested it from his orthodox jewish background.

  Yes, may we all have a prosperous year!

  My how quickly 100 years have passed since 1919 when Jesus took note of the small group of International Bible Students and decided that he would use them as his sole channel to communicate with all of mankind because of their heart condition and evidently they had a printing press. Of course, the WTBTS did not know that they were chosen until they invented the idea decades later.

  And communicate for the King of Kings they have with even more countless failed prophesies and expectations that have produced absolutely nothing of any consequence except to rob honest hearted individuals of life with realistic expectations for the future, embarrass, ridicule, and mock individuals that tried to lead a "normal" life; having a family, purchasing a home, sending their children to school, seeking higher education, purchasing health and life insurance, or visiting medical professionals for regular checkups.

  This year is truly a time to celebrate and observe 100 years of the self-proclaimed Faithful and Discrete Slave's work for the Master, as they have undeniably proven to be neither Faithful nor Discrete!

  The Master doesn't need to return either spiritually or physically to make an inspection as time has proven that any "Talent" they received has been fraudulently diverted to lyingly and deceitful tactics to fleece and feed off of the gullible sheep that have been "skinned and thrown about". Individuals that were promised to "Throw their burden upon Jesus and he will make their load light" have grown old and perished below the oppressive heal of the New York and Pennsylvania's Corporations' man-made rules and imposed fear and guilt, ending in bitterness and disappointment for Millions that have Died and Millions more of the Living that will Die with unfulfilled expectations.

  Bring in the New Year and let the Ball Drop at Midnight as a foreshadowing of things to come for this Imposter and Snake Oil Salesman. Now is the Time!

  Human And Computational Intelligence Increasing Exponentially, Watchtower's Dreamworld Of A Better Future Will Hold No Relevance

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as intelligence increases exponentially in the next 10 or 20 year the watchtower's version of utopia will be small beans compared to the horizon that exponential intelligence will give in the near future.. let's face it as a corporation they will face their own financial dooms day because of their persistent archaic ignorance, not to mention delusional and wishful thinking as well..

  How about we say, that there is a great deal of information available for the masses and facts do not hide under rocks anymore.

  1981 quote made my blood boil

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just got so angry coming across this quote from the wt, shortly after raymond franz was disfellowshipped:.

  one who has been a true christian might renounce the way of the truth, stating that he no longer considers himself to be one of jehovah’s witnesses or wants to be known as one.

  when this rare event occurs, the person is renouncing his standing as a christian.

  Psychologically, there is a difference in just burning a building and firing gun shots into it also. Of course, if you are a drunk you might start the fire and then fire some shots into the building for fun. But, It sounds like there are some anger issues here.
