  Latest awake on JW.org

  by aboveusonlysky in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the latest awake (no 3 2020) on jw.org is just breathtaking, it's about prejudice and gives the following 3 examples which i will one by one attemp to debunk.. awake - some employers have mistakenly believed that women are unqualified for scientific or technical jobs.. erm... women are not only forbidden from elder or m/s appointment, they're not even considered qualified enough to adjust the height of a brother's microphone, you were saying?.....

  awake - in medieval europe, jews were falsely accused of poisoning wells and spreading disease.

  during nazi rule, jews were again slandered.

  Was Sin Inevitable?

  by Parker in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was wondering about this question and wanted to ask: was sin inevitable?

  also, i had thought about past watchtower articles or publications related to this topic and did some research and found this from our readers ask if adam was perfect, how was it possible for him to sin?.

  well, then, did god create adam with a moral weakness, so that he lacked the ability to make sound decisions or to withstand temptation?

  It seems God, Adam and Satan put a trap to blame Eve for all their sins.

  According to Watchtower doctrine God didn't speak directly to Eve, but He used her husband to communicate with her.

  We would have to ask her why she trusted the first serpent that crossed her path more than she trusted her husband.

  They didn't notice that it wasn't there, why would they notice now that it is?

  The women that abandon “The Good News” are a large army

  by Aimee.Padilla in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  to be born a woman is a great disadvantage in many parts of the world and much more if she is part of a destructive sect like the jehovah’s witnesses where she is submitted to the “theocratic order” being the base that sustains the corporate pyramid, displaying submission at all times before male authority.

  those of us that have been part of this cult can verify that the woman has to carry out a series of practices that for the rest of society is somewhat incomprehensible.

  i’d like to draw your attention to the act of head covering, if for any reason a woman has to pray in public while a male is present, who is not available to lead the prayer, she must cover her head because she wouldn’t be respecting the arrangement of authority if she didn’t.

  when a man allows himself to be oppressed, he was a weakling and a fool with no one to blame but himself. Blaming others is not a luxury that men are allowed and calling himself a "warrior" for finally doing what he could have done all along, would be laughable."

  Really? Then, what is this webpage about?

  Purple Triangle

  by apostatethunder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anyone noticed that the colour purple comes from mixing red and blue, and that the red triangle meant political prisioner and the blue triangle meant foreigner?

  purple also comes from mixing pink and blue, foreign homosexual or sexual offender.

  that's how the nazis wieved the bible students.

  Really? Jehovah's Witnesses were put into camps because they saw Jesus as their only king and not the fuehrer? How was that not the case of all Christians? Catholic priests were put a red triangle, political enemies.

  I always thought Bible Students were put into camps because the nazis didn't agree with the Watchtower hierarchy. Also they were trustworthy, unlike any other prisioner.

  Bizarre? Nazism was an ideology obssesed with symbolism, but maybe you are right and they didn't pay any attention to the colors they used.

  Also an inverted triangle could be a rival hierarchy or the reflection of the current one.

  And the inverted Swastika seems like a photo negative of the real one.

  Based on their own descriptions I think they would use the black inverted triangle for all aristocrats: work-shy or antisocial.

  Most Jehovah's Witness women I've met were everything but submissive. Some even went to University, and all worked full-time, or worked part-time and pioneered based on their personal goals.

  Many even commented with conviction about headship in the Watchtower study.

  What color would they choose for Kings, Queens and Emperors and their propagandists?
