  "Shunning" - now a Watchtower word?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know jws have long used the word "shun" in a general sense, as in "shun what is bad".

  but i think they have long avoided using the word in relation to disfellowshipping.

  in external media or literature wherever the word "shunning" was used in a piece about jws it was usually a good indication it was critical of watchtower and not a neutral or supportive commentary.

  It's a word they've consistently avoided in the past, much like their aversion to "converting" or "conversion. "

  Here's a perfect example of how a typical "worldly" (read "normal" here) non-JW reacts when encountering JW propaganda intended mainly for the initiated.

  Convention Videos: Someone messed up royally

  .

  when i first saw the video, i was like, "wait... is that her... panties showing through the dress"?and it seems like it is so.turns out that if you look at the middle right of the video, there are some letters.

  it reads, "footage provided by pond5".if someone wants to purchase that video to confirm, you can purchase it here:http://depositphotos.com/63621499/stock-video-violinist-girl-walking-through-a.htmli think that this was a royal mess up because i doubt they would put footage of a sister in a skimpy, revealing dress.doesn't the gb approve this?this will probably go down as another of the "subliminal images"...if there are thongs in paradise... might not be so bad after all!.

  "I imagine that almost 100% of JW's would think that all the scenes and actors in the vids are JWs and the footage is shot by JWs, but no quite a bit is bought in footage produced and acted by "worldly people"."

  
  

  That to me is the more damaging (ok, revealing! ) aspect of this video episode.....

  one sentence answers only.. here's mine:.

  jws exist because people want an escape from the modern world and are willing to give up intellectual freedom to get it..

  The fear of death and the allure of easy answers/solutions drive them into the arms of the cults.

  Running ahead of Jehovah can be done with a slow walk.

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a few days ago i read a post of someone who has recently awakened to what the watchtower bible and tract society really is.

  in their comments, they stated that they had been accused of "running ahead of jehovah.".

  "running ahead of jehovah" was a statement levied at me many times during my convoluted journey through that organization.

  I guess they've forgotten James 1:6: "But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. about."

  RC Was Worse Than I thought...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was visiting with my family and it seems the rc was worse than i thought.

  now they all seem to think that "we are so close to the end" and that the "brothers are really preparing us for the gt".

  some even saying that soon our message will change to a judgement message for mankind and talking about how we need to improve "everything we do".

  Boy, they're setting themselves to be a laughingstock .... the GT is their trump card,; once they announce its beginning, they've crossed the Rubicon there's no turning back... they will expend whatever's left of their credibility on that one call,,, and what do they do for an encore? .

  Baptized niece crowned prom queen. Could her dad loose his MS appt?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower

  so my niece (not thru my brother but rather my wife) had been talking about going to her prom.

  the family had privately been somewhat doubtful that she would be allowed to go.

  the problem was that they kept promising she would be allowed but history has shown us that her parents tend to get her excited about things and then drop the denial on her at the last minute.
