  The official requirement for salvation in the latest WT, nothing to do with Jesus......

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "those with the earthly hope who supported christs brothers in the preaching work will have been judged as sheep and will be granted the privilege of living in the earthly realm of the kingdom.

  " 3/2015 study wt learn from illustration of talents par 13.. so there you have it, to get salvation you need to only obey the gb and if you obey and worship the gb, then you will be judged as a sheep.

  truly those who listen and obey, will be blessed!.

  ADCMS,

  Sounds like the 20 K a day is an exaggeration. Can you give me some context? I have been away from conventions for 3 years. The latest figures I remember are about 3 k for a 2 day circuit convention with about 1,500 attendees. Has inflation in JW's world been that high?

  Crysto Jesus,

  I take my previous comment back. Please don't try to convert JW's to your religion. I doubt is any better.

  From 1 to 10, how do you rate the value of the Internet in your awakening?

  by Hidden-Window in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.

  i always had doubts and it was the internet that presented me with the ever-growing number of individuals who were going through a similar struggle.. i give the internet a 9 in my awakening.

  what about you?.

  Atheist at 12 or 13 (I am 49). So I never thought there was such a thing as a "true religion", however, I went from believing that the WT leaders were sincere and good people to my present position: they are dishonest, arrogant and manipulative. I credit the internet for my learning TTATT and many things related to it, such as history of Judaism and Christianity, ancient history, cults. I give it a big 10.

  2. friends

  i just want the governing body to know how "happified" i am today.

  keep sending those branch letters to the congregation(s) about sending your donations in.

  not only did you humiliate the rank and file with your tony morris tight pants talk but now you are begging the same people you humiliated for money.

  Since my elderly mother & aunt had to drive 50 miles to attend the Zone Meetings

  Same story in my area. WT sells multimillion dollar property near the dubs, then buys multi thousand dollar land for convention hall 60 or 70 miles away. WT makes money turning over real estate while dubs have to donate more money and increase their expenses just to make it to the convention, Not to mention the extra pollution added to the planet.

  Why Do Atheists Struggle So Much Against God Who Supposedly Doesn't Exist?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an athist made this casual statememt on another thread:.

  this would suggest to me that there are at least some atheists that do have consistant beliefs.. .

  as an atheist, how could he possibly trust the reason that suggests this to himself?

  No problem here with a God of order, but not the Christian god of disorder who suspends order and laws to attend to Perry's personal requests. Plllllllease!

  • Transparency – windows and a store front like entrance - that passersby will be able to see into

  Yep, it's a business. Now they are considering the marketability of kingdom halls. They can ask more money for the commercial like hall than they do for the current windowless ones, which have a limited market, only other religions would be interested.

  here’s a $600,000 facility at NO CHARGE - ENJOY!!!!!”

  Sure, wait till they hit you with the monthly "rent" and maintenance. Dubs pay all the expenses while the property increases in value. Then kick them out and start all over again.

  I don't believe in Jesus, but I hope you are effective in deprogramming at least one JW. I also hope that your religion is not as cultic as that of JW's. Please keep us posted.

  From my own experience as a non JW trying to awaken JW's, I can assure you is frustrating. Assuming I have had any progress with my family, I can assure you that it's a slow, very slow process. Prepare for the long haul. You may want to reach to those who are interested, but not in yet. You have better chances there.

  The advice you have gotten so far is from people who were in for a long time, they dislike the cult with a vengeance, as I do. Your having the fresh mind of someone who has never been hurt by the WT and your being very interested about helping others makes their advice a bit on the negative side. Ignore it, do as you want. You have nothing to lose except lots of time. But saving one JW from the cult will make it worth it.

  Azor,

  your venting could reach deeper if you didn't abreviate as much. HLC, ALL, AML??

  I googled and found leukemia for ALL and AML. HLC still no good answer. Is it related to a Watchtower committee?

  Google again and I found the Hospital Liaison Committee.

  Now I understand what you are going through. I am very sorry and I hope your friend is strong enough to put hersefl first and ignore the Watchtower stupidity.
