The Faithful and Discreet Slave - A JW Myth

by 00DAD in

friends

probably this topic has been dealt with before, but i'm relatively new here, so perhaps y'all will be willing to indulge me in my pursuit for clarity.

regarding the anointed, the gb recently said this: .

"we thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know.

Here's a good one the Jehovah's witnesses are worse than Nazi's

by Star tiger in

i'm not sure if this is a controversial subject or not, i suspect it is, the 1936-1945 nazi regime were the most evil b*****d's in the world and thankfully were destroyed, however the jehovah's witnesses having sufffered under their rule, then became even more evil not by destroying the person's physical life, but destroying their way to god, if a person leaves then they become dead to god, and this from a second rate publishing company!

please don't think i'm being flippant about all the suffering and death the nazi's caused, but as we are most of us spiritual people, surely the witnesses caused a catastrophy in the post 1945 era.. best regards,.

Oh grow up.

The title of this thread is borderline hate crime stuff and close to the WT's "mentally diseased" stuff.

Somebody report it.

If the WT said something like this there would be uproar.

New Literature Arrangement

by Quarterback in

just recently the org has changed the literature distribution to the congregation members.. the changes are:.

1) publishers are to pick-up their mag's weekly in preparation for what they think they will use that week.

2) group conductors shall now distribute the study article of the wt, and the km.. wonder why they have changed this?.

Soon the study edition will arrive in sealed packs. They will be guarded by 4 attendants. Opened during the song after the Public Talk. Distributed to people they recognise. Collected afterwards and counted in. No-one will be allowed to leave if the can't account for them all. They will then be destroyed.

They will love this because it will fuel conspiracy theories about apostates, reinforce their seige mentality, make the local elders and attendants feel important and convince them that the Great Tribulation is near.

Was there another game or something on Saturday afternoon?

What gets me about this is the totally crazy perspective they have which makes them think that this is an experience to be highlighted.

The rest of 'the world' would think it was either crazy or despicable.

Recently I heard an almost identical account from the totally opposite perspective. A young African woman was on a platform, in front of a large gathering of church people. The interview with her was included in an item on some church missionary work in Africa. The girl was one of their success stories. She had become attached to the mission project (a water project I think) attended the school that they had set up for the locals, shown great promise in her education, been flown out to the UK where she had gone through university and now was going back to her country where she was going to continue the work that she had benefitted from.

THAT seemed to be something worth praising.

It also seemed to have a point.
