When did WT recently change the Insight on the Scriptures -- that 31 year old Bible encyclopedia?

by FatFreek 2005 in

i would like to pinpoint when watchtower made a dramatic backward editorial change in their 31 year old insight on the scriptures, their flagship bible encyclopedia.

below, number 1 quotes the insight book as it appeared in the original release back in june 1988.. 1.

“this is also illustrated by what happened to the cities of sodom and gomorrah and their inhabitants.

What woke you up?

i’m fairly new so i don’t know everyone’s backstory.

how did you realize the organization was false?.

I think that's a pretty comprehensive "heap of witness".

Who is the better example in the congregation?

by BourneIdentity in

a married brother with multiple children turns in 10 hours of time per month.

a group of single brothers ranging in age from 13-16 turn in 10 hours per month.

the married brother works full-time.

It's not a privilege to handle the microphones. If the Brother with a family has several young children he needs to be setting with the family to help the wife. Over load the wife with children during the meeting and she will have a grudge. Which is great, because someone may see the real truth about this pseudo religion.

Funeral Fashion

by ThinkerBelle in

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

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

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.

Awake No. 2 2019 - Way To Destroy Your Childrens Hopes And Dreams Watchtower!

by pale.emperor in

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

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.
