Rutherford Letter To Moyle

rutherford letter to moyle.. .

This doesn’t sound like the letter of a peaceful Christian, but the letter of an agitator.

This organization represents everything I despise, and I am disgusted that I was ever a part of it.

Behind their kingdom smiles, they are a destructive cult, that wants to destroy not only individuals, but most importantly with a very strong political agenda.

You can know a person (or organization), not only for their friends, but also for their enemies. The Catholic Church, has a lot of enemies, even to the point of trying to kill the previous Pope, (before the fall of Communism), and I will never be on the side of any of her enemies, in whatever front they choose to fight.

Sometimes the only way to destroy an organization is by infiltrating it, and I think the Church has been seriously infiltrated in order to undermine it.

If it is so much of an obstacle, it is a sign that it does a good work.

The Church was the keeper of knowledge for many centuries, valuable things always arise envy.

Those who seek to destroy it by infiltration, discredit, propaganda, etc, are the ones that should be put out of the picture.

Could UFO Disclosure Bring About A Golden Age?

by metatron in

there are a great many people - and internet sites- that preach a sort of 2012/ufo gospel.

while they may contradict one another, they mostly teach that ufo's will intervene and save us, especially if governments admit that they exist.. yeah, ok..... been there, heard that..... but could there be a core of truth to this idea?.

what would happen if the world acknowledged that et's exist?.

I have a problem with criminals and psychos governing over the people that governs my country, and working behind the scenes to degrade and control society.

Same goes for people that relies on conspiracy, intrigues, insidious infiltration, manipulation of others, and crime to achieve their goals.

The Illuminate’s hand is clearly behind the two world wars, and the biggest crimes in the history of humanity, like the Russian and French revolution, which by the way the French continue celebrating every year, not sure if this means that they would advocate the same solution to eliminate the corruption and incompetence of nowadays governments: guillotine.

Freemasonry is another cult aimed at controlling people, the people at the bottom of the pyramid has no idea of the agenda they are supporting, pretty much like the witnesses have no idea what the WT is really about.

But unfortunately for them, some people will never be fooled, the truth is what it is, and doesn’t go away so easily. As Jesus said, if these remained silent, the stones would cry out.

They are prisoners of their own stupidity like other dictators before them, and are sowing their own misery.

Is the Governing Body EVIL or IGNORANT?

by cedars in

some of you will have noticed that i've been paying a lot of attention to the governing body recently.

this is because most jehovah's witnesses venerate them collectively (even if they can't name them individually), and i feel this makes it important to understand this group of men properly and expose their mindset as individuals.

as the saying goes, i feel it's important to "know your enemy".. i realize it's very convenient to think of the governing body as being "evil" when we consider that they are ultimately responsible for all the damaging jw teachings and beliefs.

apostatethunder

Usually both things go hand in hand. The end result is the same anyway, they are evil in my opinion, because unlike the rest of us when we were in, they have information about the workings of the organization that none of us had at the time.

Judge Rutherford Was Extremely Politically Neutral

by God_Delusion in

howdy guys and gals,.

yesterday i received an email from a jwb visitor which pointed me to the 1934 yearbook.

i was completely shocked to see just how politically neutral the 2nd president of the watchtower society really was.. here's the article - http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/jehovahs-witness-history/are-jehovahs-witnesses-politically-neutral/.

What a big hypocrite.

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.

Were You Ever Comfortable Going From House To House?

by minimus in

jw
friends

because i was raised a witness, i don't think i was "uncomfortable" knocking on strangers' doors.

(weirdo).. but as i got older, i simply didn't want to bother anyone so i was at there door for no more than 30 seconds.

at the end i hated being there..

apostatethunder

I hated every second of it, the gossip, the car groups, the selling of magazines, the having to do return calls when the householder was obviously not interested but was friendly enough to talk to us, etc.

I was never good at it. My return calls never progressed and I still don’t understand how I managed to have a couple of Bible studies over the years, which I am glad to say never progressed either. They are both doing fine, supporting other religions.

I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself otherwise.

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

by minimus in

jw
friends

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.

Totally agree with you longhairgal, I remember once we had in the local needs not to put our jobs at the centre of our lives, and to make sure our job wouldn‘t stumble others (my job at the time had some indirect Christian connection). I couldn’t believe my ears during the meeting, as the congregation had many other much bigger problems to address, and on top of that on the way home a sister that didn’t like her job, and that was always broke and owing money to others, was telling me how good the local needs were and how we needed to consider how our job could affect other people‘s consciences, etc.

I did as if the whole thing had nothing to do with me, and continued enjoying my full-time job with a good conscience. Nobody ever addressed me directly about that.

She continued owing money to others and soon after had a fallout with another sister because she couldn’t pay her back what she owed, and besides the other sister had two jobs.

I’ve known many other people, specially young single sisters, having difficulties making ends meet but still wanting to pioneer. And they consider this being spiritual oriented.
