  This very ironic because it is the bone marrow that is responsible for making blood. Idiotic doctrines indeed.

  Some friday morning reflections

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. watchtower

  just reading all the aawa related topics this morning and it makes me really sad.

  i'm not related to aawa, just a fader in western europe and a longtime member of h2o and later on jwd.. it makes me sad to see what's the legacy of the watchtower society religion: kgb style betrayal of family members, making screenshots of facebook group members, just to betray their christian brother and sister to the elders, to interrogate them, try to confess their faults and correct them aggressively.

  this behaviour places our religion definitly at the dark pages of history.. it makes me sad to see that some group of good peope, forming an association, then some things going wrong with the important and sacred topic named privacy.

  Do you follow your " spirit directed " conscience and bible principles?

  vincent toole, solicitor for the jehovah's witnesses, said the fact that the church got working with children checks had nothing to do with steven unthank, whom he suggested was behind the court case.

  ''we find it disappointing that he continues to misrepresent our organisation.''........

  ....''jehovah's witnesses abhor child abuse, and place the protection of children at the highest level,'' he said.. .

  you know those articles from the wt are coming, along with emails from jw friends and family.

  all the shameless self-attaboys, and fictitious observations by non-jws remarking on how jws provided the most and best assistance to the victims..

  Governing Body Hates Higher Education Because It Destroys Their Delusion

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in an effort to keep their delusion alive it is only natural for them hate something that lifts the vails of their delusion and lay it barren.

  their hate is transfered to the faithful rank and file and manifested in their forbidding it to the young who will surely see the ignorance of their delusion.

  narcissistic delusions of divine appointment are resisted at the expense of the young.. they hate higher education to the same extent they hate psychiatry because both tread on their delusion and identify it in clear terms..

  Their constant bashing of higher education is one of the major things that helped wake me up.

  Could my wife be awakening???

  by nolongerconfused in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i have followed all of your advise as far as not talking religion, just showing love etc.... she has missed the last 3 meetings and i have not said anything like "are you going?

  " etc.... she's a born in/active and our relationship has gotten so much better after i faded completely...no guilt trip/pressure about preparing for meetings as a family, service, etc.... tuesday was a huge sign for me...she has meetings tuesday nights and she was planning on going, but, her coworker called her offering 2 tickets to go see our local baseball mlb team and guess what?....she told me lets go!!!

  i was like wtf?...in my mind i was like wow, you're gonna miss your 3rd meeting in a row!

  new light on FDS and 1914

  by inbetween in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the society claims now, that before 1914/1919 there was no fds, this means also, russel was not part of it, he was not the channel from god.. then the calculation for 1914, which russel made popular and promoted, was done in a time, when god revealed actually nothing, does this prepare the way to finally dump 1914 chronology ?

  approaching the 100 year anniversary for christs supposed rulership, it becomes anyway more and more ridicolous.. i know, some argue 1914 is essential for their being chosen 1919, but now they say, they are somehow not appointed over the belongings yet, so also this aspect looses significance.

  and the inspection of the temple can begin anytime anyway, it was convinient to link it to 1914 but i think its not really necessary.

  Ok so since they were not appointed yet then my baptism is null and void. All the preaching work is also.

  The Compartmentalization Sympthoms Of The Governing Body's New Light On The Faithful And Discrete Slave Prophecy Fantasy

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  huge amounts of compartmentalization to coup with cognitive dissonance.

  i'm sure 90% of all readers agree with me when i say this new light is just a fantasy being played out in the minds of the governing body who originate it and in the gullible rank and file who uncritically accept it.

  though out the wt study designed to explain the new light we see rampant compartmentalization.

  GOVERNING BODY x-ray an investigation

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am going to propose a thesis about the validity of governing body function, validity and purpose.. this will be taken from history and scripture.

  the end result will either support or undermine the watchtower's use of governing body.. .

  we begin with proper definitions.. what exactly is a government?
