1914 coverup has begun

by hamsterbait in

jw
friends

i spoke to an elderly sister, 94, who is deteriorating rapidly.

she honestly believed she would never die.. obviously she is desperate to deny to herself that the cult she allowed to steal her one and only life a second at a time is still true.. "the generation change is just like 1975 - we were sifted.

we were being tested as to who was serving jehovah for a date and those with unbreakable trust in the organisation he has appointed.".

Yes, I think that Jws do come in for a hammering when it comes to predicting the end of the system .

But aren’t they their worst own enemy, they have been predicting this for the last 100years.

They deserve what they get regarding false prophets because they threw their hat into the arena all those years ago and have not letup at all.

By their deliverance, their forceful and judgmental attitude on the doors, they have invited this criticism.

Not once in my 30 years with them did I hear an apology for getting things so wrong,

They would blame it on the rank and file for looking too far ahead of the society or reading into things that were not there, NOT TAKING ANY BLAME THEMSELVES.

At least some of the main stream Christian Org. have done just that apologised.

FEAR,

Fear, of thinking they are going against Jehovah.

Fear, of going against the FDclass.

Fear of so called glorious ones

They may have many faults.............................but being wrong is not one of them.

If people were to look at the scriptures for what they are, they would see that the Org. fails to live up to it's statement that it is directed by "Holy Spirit"

BUT THE ORG. WILL ALWAYS HAVE AN ANSWER

Are we always going to be foolishly taken in by MAN ?

"The Elders"

by minimus in

jw
friends

when i think back of how the elders were viewed, even when i was a kid, i recognize that many people were deathly afraid of the elders.

my brother had been appointed in the 70s shortly after the elder arrangement was put into effect.

so my family always had an "in" because of our theocratic connections----not that my brother was very forceful.

KAYTEE

Elders,

I’ve heard a rumour, I don’t know if it’s true, In future any elder that passes away will be buried standing up.

The reason is that liers will not inherit the kingdom.

finally free,

I could have put my own name at the bottom of your comment.

It's a pitty there was not more like you the elders "might" have not got away with so much.

Elders are like marmite ...you either like or dislike it.

I DETEST marmite

can we do a list of jw things that go "beyond what is written?".....

by oompa in

or if there is one already...point me to it...the longer i am here...the more i realize that the fds/wt may have started with good intentions like maybe the pharisees did....but they went nutso and added a zillion things not even in the bible and so have the fds...some of these things are minor and some are not...like".

1. hatred of mens facial hair and sideburns (privileges witheld if you have too much or wrong style) also length of mens hair.

2. clothing requirements, ties/jackets/suits mandatory for ministry/talks/privileges....and sisters can freeze there ass of rather than wear a hilliary clinton pantsuit or they can not be on the school.

KAYTEE

Here in England, before being given the "privilege" to carry the microphones or being used on the "STAGE", You had to wear a suit (jacket and trousers the same material" )

Yet the Glorious ones could get away with not wearing a suit!!!! Often it would be a sports jacket and trousers (different material, different colour) This was probably a "Local" rule. Did anyone else come across this nonsense?

Women not allowed to wear trouser suits.

This list could go on for EVER.

Do You still Believe Some of the Doctrines?

by cameo-d in

even if you have left the jws are there still bits and pieces of the doctrines you still believe?.

what doctrines do you still believe that are taught by the wt?.

.

KAYTEE

Yes,

Especially Math. 7 v 21…….Not everyone saying Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my father who is in the heavens will.

22, Many will say to me in that day Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in your name and perform many powerful works in your name and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name

23 And yet then I will confess to them I never knew you get away from me you WORKERS OF LAWLESSNESS

YES YES

As a JW were You Told to Not Report or Be Silent about Child Abuse ?

by flipper in

as most of you know in 2002 barbara anderson and bill bowen were on the dateline program which revealed that child abuse victims had been theatened with disfellowshipping from the jehovah's witnesses for reporting child abuse to the police and authorities .

and this actually happened to many victims and their families for standing up in behalf of the safety of abused children !.

most here are aware of the out of court child abuse settlements the wt society made with 16 witness child abuse victims in 2007. a gag order was placed on victims so they would not speak of their experiences with the media.

KAYTEE

When you hear the amount of instances of this sought of thing, when you think of the ones who "DO NOT REPORT IT", plus those that do not have the internet to express themselves, as Blondie said, how can God be backing this shocking Org.

Jehovah has given guide lines as to what to do,…….Lev.5 v 5…"And it must occur that in case he becomes guilty as respects one of these things, then he must confess in what he has sinned "

All these self appointed princes are aiding and abetting SIN they are accomplices to these ungodly practices.

Or are we going to hear what was said after the war............ "we were only taking orders"

There is NO DIFFERENCE.

If the glass is half full,

by John Doe in

jw
friends

and the future holds promise and progress, why does letting the past go hurt like such a bitch?

when tape clings so tenaciously to a healing wound, why do we pull it away slowly?.

If the glass is half full,

Then I have run out whisky again.

Jesus said a "helper" would come, Holy Spririt...so why the FDS???

by oompa in

john14:25-26)25 "while remaining with you i have spoken these things to you.

26 but the helper, the holy spirit, which the father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things i told you.

jesus said the father would send the helper, and he identified it.

KAYTEE

yadda,

If the WTS got 607bce wrong then Dan’s prophecy ( ending in 1914) is also wrong,

"Jesus did say that when he arrived he would find a faithful and discreet slave faithfully feeding "

If Jesus did not arrive in 1914, then there can’t be a faithful and discreet slave class yet ?, he has not yet arrived, yet another puzzle we are left with!

DID NOAH USE BUCKETS?

by badboy in

jw
friends

it has been suggested by creationists(cri?

) that noah used buckets so the animals on his ark could crap.. is this so?.

if so, did he mold the plastic etc.

KAYTEE

I reckon they cut a hole in the bottom and allowed the sea to flush it away, it probably left a 30 mile slick behind them.
