Out of The mouth Of 2 - 3 Witnesses Jehovah Never Endorsed Them in 1919 .

the 2 or 3 witness rule to substantiate a truth about a matter .joh.8:17 , 2 cor.13 : 1. jehovah`s witnesses claim they were appointed by god in 1919 ?

as the only religion that god was going to use to dispense food at the proper time ?

and to lead his people by.. fact 1.

Very true if you apply the two witness rule to almost everything the JWs preach and teach they are proved false , but we found it hard to accept because of cognitive dissonance .

But after all things considered its a CULT.

Things that you may see and experience once you get involved with the JWS

by Finkelstein in

there are numerous experiences you might see once getting involved with the jws.. things that come to mind are as follows ........... getting lied to by dishonest men (gb) running an unregulated religoius publishing house.

(wts).

these men created an apostate (commercialized) version of the gospel of jesus and the new to come kingdom order, many from both inside and outside of the organization are starting to realize that .. your mostly likely are getting to be pressured and quilted into spreading about the wts's literature to the public in hours of service as they describe it, with all the attached false doctrines this organization's top leaders make.. you will be closely monitored by congregation elders to how you dress, the length of you hair your attendance, who you are associating with, what are you doing in your private social life etc.. you will most likely going to hear about people who were somehow associated with the organization have committed suicide.

Nepotism

Favouritism

Double standards

Lack of following theocatic direction especially among the elders.

How many of you would actually believe a child abuser would let his crime be watched by minimum two witnesses?

by Thinkforyourself in

in many closed religious cults, sects or globally widely spread religions, sexual abuse on big scale is revealed and covered up by the religious authorities.

in the jw, the culture is to deal with these matters within the org itself, and the rule is, "no crime can be proven without the presentation of at least two witnesses".

men made the rules, men commit these crimes and men defend them and even forse these children to meet and talk to their abusers.

Fadeaway1962

Thinkforyourself welcome

It's physiological manipulation and coercive control that we were instructed that the governing body were directed by god and knew what was best for us , even if we felt it was wrong ,cognitive dissonance eg the two witness rule when the authorities could be a witnesses and why would a child lie about the abuse .

Even today some witnesses believe child abuse is made up by apostates I asked about the child abuse issue to someone on the cart work that was there reply.

So it's only when you wake up to the control and the made up policy s of the org and then join a forum like this you see how illogical it all is that you can mentally leave then physically leave.
