  JWs "Encourage" Their Youth To Invest In The Full Time Ministry And Not Go To College so....

  by minimus in

  if that's the case, ideally, we should all be preachers and never college students or college grads.

  but here's the problem for those that adhere to that viewpoint: jw's should not sponsor anyone that has gone to college.

  if you support such ones, it should be conscientously objectionable.

  That is a testimony of their own mediocrity, otherwise they would have nothing to fear from educated people.

  Their complaints are very legitimate, but the way they go about it is not the most effective one, and that will end up having the opposite effect of what they intend. They are misguided.

  The Watchtower and the Masons

  by ozziepost in

  the latest edition of the free in christ ministries journal contains a very interesting article entitled the watchtower and masons.. drawing upon material from the book the watchtower & the masons by fritz springmeier, it gives the following parallels between the things that c t russell believed and those taught by the masons:.

  * both believe jehovah is the most important word being the basis of their dogma, and the name of their god.

  * both believe god yielded power to a lesser god.

  Avoid know-it-alls and judgemental people and specially the ones that don’t practice what they preach.

  Never get involved with people that lack scruples. They don’t usually advertise it, so sometimes is too late when you realize it.

  Another thing many have not learned since leaving the WT is that actions speak louder than words.

  You can actually read a person or an organization (religious or not) by the smallest of details.

  Unfortunately you don’t need a religion to be deceived, history is populated with examples of peoples and countries being manipulated to fight against their own interests in the name of (ironically) freedom.

  The Catholic Church and "CRIMINE SOLICITATIONIES"

  by JWB in

  1. watchtower

  the catholic church and "crimine solicitationies".

  "it was a policy adopted formally by the vatican in 1962. joseph ratzinger then as a priest helped formulate it.

  it says that when children are harmed in any catholic parish anywhere in the world, the priest and the bishop are under papal order to suppress the evidence of that, to hide ... well to protect the child rapist.

  That letter was probably leaked by an infiltrated mason in the Catholic Church. I hope they get rid of them soon, they shouldn’t be too difficult to identify, they are the ones with the long tusks.

  I recognize that I had a part of responsibility in becoming and staying a witness for so many years, but STILL, my faith in God and the Bible was taken advantage of by this organization, and I blame THEM for that, because unlike my previous religion (Catholicism), they have interfered in my life, affecting my personal decisions, invading my privacy, manipulating me to follow them while hiding what they really are.

  SO, the main thing I learned from the whole experience is to never be so naïve again as to follow anyone so blindly in the name of anything.
