jw.org getting out of hand

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

it seems the watchtower staff have made a runaway train with the introduction of the mark jw.org.. the combination of using a gadget driven platform and the fact that the common jw is low educated and easely influenced.

by new occurrings in their religion makes the situation getting out of hand.. proof: gb members wearing jw.org buttons during their speech, gifts with jw.org are given away, umbrellas with the jw.org are available.

jw.org is more important then god, his son and the gospel.. it's the gadget and the jw.org mark that counts.. i am so happy my grandparents are not confronted with these idiots.. it's a runaway train heading to the end of the track.. gorby .

stuckinarut2: What is different about JW.ORG pendants, logos, etc and the use of a crucifix or cross by other Christians?

Succinct! I'll use this question to create some internal conflictions, thank you.

This incident is obviously one of those things that cannot be proven or disproven.
I know how I felt at that moment, he knows how he felt at that moment, you know how you feel about that moment.

I'm not going to defend it, there's no point. It's a bit like explaining away the 10 plagues on Egypt.

Appreciate your thoughts on it however, even though they were entirely expected.

Ah, the Usual Activists Doing Nothing Advantageous, with an Uncanny Ability to Deliver No Action.

A few Under Achievers who Do Not Accomplish anything.

What a Useless Alignment of Downright Narcissistic A'holes.

Your thoughts on demons, ghosts and spirits

by Crazyguy in

as a jw were taught all about demons but i never had an incident.

my wife believes wholeheartedly says her family including her has had problems with them.

i have met people that even non religious people that say they have experienced a ghost or a spirit.

Focus: Splash - don't be bashful, share with us your belief or delusion. More "genuine" UFOs are upper-atmosphere weather balloons than anything else. What was your demon?

For general merriment and derision, I posted about it a while back

I've had a personal experience so I cannot agree with the 'superstition' comments.

Each to their own, but I believe demons exist.

The Ravings of Trolls Distracts FOCUS From Real Watchtower Scandals

by cofty in

my thread was inspired by gentledawn's insightful comment about the effect the events in wales had on her jw husband.... hope any lurkers out there can filter out the signal (storys and experiences like this) to noise (the current trolls running amok on the forums) ratios.

this the problem with those who focus on outrageous fantasies about the watchtower.

it distracts from the real issues that need to be highlighted.. what happened in wales was for real.

The no voting/no political doctrine is very flawed!

by EndofMysteries in

you all know the doctrine, it's satan's system, can't participate, voting means putting faith in man instead of god, etc.

if so, if god put them in place, then he put faith in them to handle things to an extent and so if you happen to live in a country where people vote on how that government does things, should they not be voting?

now here is a real contradiction...... as the bible says, it's impossible to get outside of the world.

It's a matter of conscience until someone spots you, then the publicly available doctrine is replaced with the secret elder book doctrine. This is when you can be df'd. It really doesn't matter what's been published in the WT by this stage of the game.
