  As I said in a related thread, t his fiasco is another of the unintended effects of the WTBTS's recent turning inward to focus on indoctrinating/inoculating its initiated, uncritical masses in favor of its public ministry.

  OK, I am too old and missing it - but what is this SPARLOCK phenomenon?

  by james_woods in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  at first, i thought it was some legitimate cartoon character (disney or such) that the society was putting down as "demonized".. then, i started getting the idea that perhaps (unbelievably) the society had made him up as a negative "teaching device" to warn jw kids about "worldly demonism".... can this possibly be true?.

  surely not even the wtbts could be that stupid!!!.

  can somebody explain this to me, please???

  Their doctrinal cupboard is bare, so they're reduced to producing inane cartoon videos.

  Nice work MC, it's becoming increasingly hard for them to operate in the shadows, away from the light of day. Disclosures of this sort must have them squirming!

  Yet, what about the recent announcement in a kool-aid WT edition that they've begun to archive and catalogue Society memorabilia from the Russell/Rutherford era, soliciting submissions from local JWs.... how is that not succumbing to nostalgia for the "good old days" when the drivel they published had a modicum of plausiiblit, before the inexorable ticking of the clock invalidated it all, post 1914, post 1975, etc.?

  Appropriating material from other relgious sources, usually without attribution, is Standard Operating Procedure for them, and has been for a long time... what do you think those large libraries are for? Ray Franz commented on this in CoC.

  Proficient Jehovah Witness Apologist Per Kingdom Hall, How Many?

  by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on average, how many highly trained bible students would you estimate existed in your kingdom hall?

  to define this further, i am thinking of men or women who studied more than watchtower literature, spent time in libraries to dig deeper than most shallow minded drones.. how can someone be a baptized jw for forty five years and be stupid regarding "the trintiy, hell fire, first century culture, church father's teachings, rapture, heaven, reasons for defending the reliability of bible texts."?

  could the watering down, diluted teachings be the problem with "new-gen's" impotent bible understanding or lack of understanding?.

  Few of today's JW's are acquainted with -- much less use -- a concordance; or the Kingdom Interlinear Greek Scriptures, a WTBTS publication, of which more than 800,000 per produced, is out of print... efforts by some individuals to learn something of Biblical languages-- once considered commendable -- is now disparaged.
