  Is there a difference between a "wrong expectation" and a "false prophecy"?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as many of you posters know by now that my mom has been a devout jw for 40 years and just cannot accept the fact that i am no longer a jw and feel that i am being deceived by apostates and will be destroyed at armaggeddon.

  well the other day we had another knock down debate about "false prophecies" and the wts.

  my mom insist that the wts are not false prophets but merely had many "wrong expectations" the same as other bible writers and disciples of christ.

  Some people followed Jehovah's Organization, and God killed 'em

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  gina and i were batting around how the organization calls itself "god's channel" out of one side of their mouth and then reminds everyone that they are "imperfect men" out of the other.

  this allows them to claim a position of authority as "god's organization" while at the same time allowing them to make mistakes and get away with it.

  (1975, "generation", all the flavors of blood, etc).

  A little gem from the latest WT

  .

  it never ceases to amaze me the propensity that the wbts has of seeing the straw in someone else's eye but not the rafter in their own.

  this little gem is from the latest july 15th watchtower, page 22. .

  i read this quote at tom's site (thanks tom!

  ) and then looked it up for myself on the wt cd.

  this is truly disturbing and shows their true mindset....this is from the nov. !5th 1952 question from readers.

  wt 8/15/03: Easing Nature - Is it for Christians?

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  easing nature is it for christians?

  easing nature the very phrase itself brings to mind the odious product of this activity.

  yet, many people have the understanding that this natural bodily function is a practice in which true christians may engage.

  i'm cool with that... doesn't bother me at all.

  The Bible: Most flawed document ever?

  by bboyneko in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i came across this essay by joseph c. sommer:.

  contradictions.

  the fact that the bible contains contradictions is one reason why humanists consider the book to be an unreliable authority.

  The "Tree" of WHAT?

  by Farkel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the account of adam and eve as a literal event is so full of logical contradictions that it is mind-boggling.

  it only takes a minimum of scrutiny to discover that fact, too.. there is something god did not want adam and eve to know.

  he didnt want them to know the difference between good and evil.
