  Is it possible to use this thread to compile watchtowers Armageddon illustrations

  by jambon1 in

  i was informed today by a jw that the watchtower doesn't use images and propaganda to instil fear.

  i would really like to see a compilation of all their armageddon illustrations.

  maybe a thread or web page already exists that had this content.. the one i am really wanting is the most recent picture of the witnesses in the basement during the tribulation.. this will be a massive help so thank you..

  Have her read the entire jwfacts site. Let her think about it for a week or two. Then ask her what she wants to do for the rest of her life. If she is still mentally in, move on, baby. You don't want to raise your kids in this.

  A Tug on the Leash (The Authority Which the GB Wields Over the R&F)

  by Oubliette in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently, several comments have been made in various threads in reference to some of the recent changes to a few of the rules by which jehovah's witnesses must live their lives in unquestioning compliance.

  the assertion has been made that these rules are a "relaxing" of previous restrictions.

  the suggestion has been made that this somehow indicates a corresponding relaxing or loosening or lessening of the authority which the governing body (gb) holds over the rank and file (r&f) members of the religion.

  FT, when the watchtower says that, isn't it talking about people examining OTHER religions and their beliefs? Do you think they mean examine everything about THE JW religion, its history, what ALL their publications have said, making sure that everything they have said 'is really so', using outside sources for research? I think there is a double standard here. Just like when they say 'how can you be sure you were born in the right religion?', it is a question only directed to householders.

  INTERESTING. A lot of these are new to me, published since we left. I am so happy my children have been spared these pictures. I remember we had a copy of that orange colored paradise book in my room growing up, before the bible stories book came out. I Used to stay on that picture of those people falling down that chasm.

  They don't promote fear? Fear is their only constant. Cars and clothing and hair styles changed with the times, so that their 'the world is ending!! You better join us, or else!!' cry doesn't look as outdated as it is. But the fear is always there.

  The visit with elder and wife outcome

  where to start in regard to my visit with the elder and his wife; a wife who sat mute throughout the discussion.

  they arrived on the dot and we engaged in talk about the weather.

  this could have gone on for some time but i brought it around to the reason for this particular visit.

  Maybe he focused on his abuse story and resulting lack of memory to explain why he couldn't study with you using just the bible alone?

  Damned if they do, Damned if they don't

  i see an attitude among some people here which is not very helpful.

  i can understand it, but still, it's not constructive or helpful.. if you condemn the society for not changing, but then you also condemn them when they do change in a positive way, what incentive or motive does that provide for the people at the society to ever want to change for the better?.

  also, what does that attitude look like to current witnesses who are having doubts?.

  Ft, I agree with most of your points above. It seems you are becoming happier the more they become like mainstream Christianity. So why not just take the plunge and join another church? Unless you have family in. In which case, i understand, and sympathize, with the exasperation of waiting for change...which feels like being famished and waiting for crumbs to fall from a table.

  But these changes are still hypocritical, and they make them without acknowledging all the people they have hurt meanwhile, since their past interpretation of scripture was WRONG, and HURTFUL, LEGALISTIC--going far beyond the spirit of the law, and even CAUSED DEATH. In fact they are still causing death by not changing enough, but they are too proud to say 'we were wrong about blood in medicine.' So they have to skirt the issue, still making it difficult to survive loss of blood, especially if you happen to live in a third world country with less medical options available to you.

  Oogie, I figured since the convention has a Jesus theme he might be mentioned this time. Of course less than the governing body tho. And I forgot to add JW.Borg to the list. Duh!

  Rebel8 I love the Pharisees and demon suggestions especially!!
