Yeah, that is the same thing they said about my father! Elders in our living room! With a twist He would have not survived Armageddon. Why?

My father was guilty of supporting his family and working hard! He opened his home for weekly book studies and not everyone can do that. Yet due to his work hours and not making meetings he was not worthy to survive Armageddon!

It does not matter if it comes from a wack o doodle because the cult teaches that they know who will die at Armageddon.

Cults hurt children emotionally and the scars last a life time.

Jehovah's Witness by attending meetings your placing your children in the hands of elders who lack any kind of training.

One more thought, WT does not teach that suicidal cases will be resurrected so JWtalk bloggers are really messed up! They do not know their own doctrines.

I agree it is NUTS and COMPLETELY INSANE!

Jesus was a false prophet?

by opusdei1972 in

and he said to them, "i tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of god come with power.

(mark 9:1).

when you are persecuted in one place, flee to another.

Prophet,Jesus is so far more than a prophet! He is the only begotton son of Almighty God, and anyone who follows him will have eternal life.

He was the WORD in the beginning of creation with God!

There is only one secure future and that is believing in Jesus Christ.

Acts chapter 1 is a testimony for Jesus and proves Jesus past prophecy came true. Thousands of people heard then repented. They believed and built their faith up daily.

I think Ezekiel prophecy has not been fullfilled yet. I doubt very much that Jesus earthly kingdom has been fullfilled.

I agree with BucketShopBill Jesus said his Kingdom would be a Earthly Kingdom, as shown in Act 1:3, 6-7 it's obvious he was spoke of a future kingdom. His illustrations constantly told his followers they would have to wait.

Unlike WT teachings, today his followers are waiting without worry.

Scriptures that now seem to apply to JWs

by Magnum in

in the last year or so, many bible passages that i used to strongly and confidently apply to non-jws, began to seem to apply to jws.

this change in my thinking was shocking and disturbing.

i can best describe the feeling by comparing it to the feeling i got in 1981 when i watched the movie dead and buried starring james farentino.. in that movie there are murders committed in a small town by dead people reanimated by a doctor doing experiments.

Mathew 7:15

15 "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 "You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?…

Apostasy: Not For True Christians

by Watchtower-Free in

fyi interesting article.

.

apostasy: not for true christianshttp://jehovahstrumpet.com/apostasy-not-for-true-christians/.

Making up a hate group encourages the in group to bond and stay close.

I agree with blondie!

Just like the Pharisees, the WT went against true worship of Almighty God. I doubt that the word apstate was ever used by Jesus but he called them out because they went against God! Pharisees were the apostate leaders just like the GB. Big money.

Now many former JWs join Jesus by calling out religious leaders lies! Granted we are hated but that is ok.

Wt will not get other religions groups to join in their hate campaign. Yet although many do not follow bible doctrines they speak out against WT corporate LIES!

The examples in the article are weak evidence of apostasy because each generation were treated different. If anthing the stories should explain how God allowed man to understand his own weaknesses. Only WT would twist bible stories into negativite APOSTASY campaign with their baptized followers Jehovah's Witnesses to help.

Jehovah's Witnesses please see through this hate campaign and stop practising SHUNNING! Today say"NO,TO SHUNNING!"

D2D Visit - The 'Preaching' Lives On?

by Joe Grundy in

just had an interesting (?

) visit.. 1.30pm, i was outside the front of my house on a small housing estate doing man-stuff on the car.

three young guys (maybe 16-18 or so) wearing long-sleeved shirts approached.

sarahsmile

That not the usual way door to door works! Most JWs would go inside your home and open a conversation with you. Give you a WT then come back. Return visit. They would come back at odd hours to catch you home. Turn you into a biblestudy.

Your smoking and worldly ways would not bother them! :-)

Here's PROOF that Charles Taze Russell Was NOT a Pennsylvania Freemason

by AndersonsInfo in

no, charles taze russell was not a pennsylvania freemason!.

this is the answer i received in a letter: .

"after a search of our records, we determined that the three russell's were not members of our organization.

sarahsmile

Newly Enlighted has it right!

Not every higher up member needs to register.

In order to belong to a higher Freemason one must write. The writing does not need to make any sense. Just read some Free Mason books. Perhaps that is why Russell's writings no one understands! Unless you actually think Levithian was the locomotive.

Also, I recall reading Russell's wife danced with other illuminatii women with bust in their hands! I doubt she would have married outside this club. Found out that Illuminatii never had to register with lodges especially after a certain number.

I wonder how many of those GB are Freemasons or Illuminattii.

Charles Tays Russell influenced his nephew in how to make money!

I doubt very much that Charles T Russell's money only came from his publishing company.

Probably from a very wealthy Real Estate owners.

Barbara your father was a Freemason?

I am sure some masons joined to keep jobs.

Oh yeah! I remember how they had special talks at the those Freemason buildings. They told us they rented the space without any connections. I thought they could rent from other places! :-) Maybe they got a good discount.

Anyone connect the dots with the Freemason bible and writing about the pyramids.

NEW RUMOR, "JW.ORG PRINTED ON KINGDOM HALLS SOON! "ADVERTISE THE KING'S WEBSITE!"

by BucketShopBill in

the watchtower is brilliant, turning their people in to a "input only" organism while extracting any form of self-expression, creation of human spammers walking up to your door who don't know how to use the bible or relate to people with problems.

it's perfect, next step will be human drones, bill boards and printing of jw.org on your local kingdom hall.

what do we need the watchtower for if all they are doing is sending us to a website!.

Watchtower Free! Great job! :-)

Recording of Telephone Call made to London Bethel Alarming!

i subscribed to this youtube.com channel a year ago.

Good he exposed how elders breached confidentiality!

Yes he is emotional! He is very hurt by what the elders did to him. They made a promise and broke it.

Not only! But it is a FACT! Elders, keep people out so the elders errors will not be exposed! For years!

That is extremely stressful to go through! If one does not understand the lies of the WT yet spends years trying to return. As a result it can cause all kinds of emotional problems! PTS!

Good for him to expose more elders garbage plus the coldness of Bethel who was not trained to answers questions.

Bethel elders should be trained on how to help people not make foolish excuses. Bethel knows why people are calling. The majority are probably unhappy phone calls. People should be treated with help not dismissed and told it is the wrong department! That is bull!

The guy is a victim because elders bullied him and he believes WT lies!

Weird crazy rules imposed by your local Elders.

by stuckinarut2 in

we all know the sort of thing..... in many congregations, specific "rules" creep in...introduced by the local elders that become set in stone.. years ago, i heard of a congregation that sat down during the first song of the evening but stood for all others (the co changed that very soon after).

then there were the older accounts of congs that had rules to make the public speakers wear only white shirts.... in one cong now, i heard that brothers can only be used for sound or microphones if they do a minimum of 5 hours per month in the ministry!.

another cong has ruled that all appointed men must pioneer for at least one month each year in order to remain qualified.. .

And never drive a new car or classic cars!

Although your playing kingdom songs,turn your radio down before entering the parking lot!
