  JWs Ban TRUE RELIGION!

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, known for its aggressive worldwide proselytizing efforts, stunned many of its 12-million members by declaring war this week on a los angeles denim and designer jeans organization that goes by the name “true religion.”.

  “as members of jehovah's one true religious faith we have no business of associating with any organization that claims to be jehovah's true religion!” a letter from the gb states.

  it was dated july 20.. in its opening salvo, the seven-member gb directed believers to not “shop at, buy, nor even wear” true religion's products.

  I feel sorry for people who are so gullible that they cannot recognize satire or humor when they read it.

  This "news" was hilarious.

  Plastic covers should make it even easier for the gullible to grab a pamphlet or two.

  "You're going to die in Armageddon"

  i'm sure i am not the only one to have heard this come out of the mouths of my loved ones.

  it's a very painful thing to hear, especially when it comes from the people like your own parents/family.

  even after i've been told that, they would say "we'll just continue life without you.

  Ask them if they will read and explain what Jesus words in (Matthew 7:1) mean “Stop judging that you may not be judged.” And Jesus words in (Luke 6:37) “Stop condemning, and you will by no means be condemned.”

  Daily Text July 21, 2017: Jehovah is a loving father?

  by Sanchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is jehovah really a loving and compassionate "father" to his children?

  as a jw i would have definitely answered "yes", followed by the typical "he allows suffering, but doesn't cause it", or perhaps the "he has created us to enjoy life and wants us to be happy" mumbo jumbo.

  today's daily text demonstrate this reasoning (bold mine):.

  Child: Daddy, I love you.

  Father: I love you too my child. That is why I am going to inject you with this syringe full of deadly diseases and watch you suffer and die. I love you!

  Child: But daddy, I love you!

  Father: That is good. You must love me, or I will kill you!

  Has Robert Ciranko replaced Don Adams as president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania ?

  by EdenOne in

  1. social
  2. current

  robert ciranko has been a "helper" of the governing body in the writing department.. don adams (born 1925, presumably 91 years old now) has been president of the wtbts since 2000. .

  however, in recent official posts (april 2016), robert ciranko is identified as "president of the watch tower".

  does anybody know what happened and if this is an official change?.

  Bob Ciranko: “They are feeding us the best spiritual food we have ever receive.
  

  Of course, Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food.

  The second quote from the WT 02/2017. So IMPERFECT spiritual food is the BEST JW's can expect. Silly me, I thought Gee-HO-Vah and Jesus were PERFECT and all their works were perfect! Guess the JW's have THAT one wrong too!

  Jehovah's people are not happy people

  by Phoebe in

  i finally stopped attending the meetings about 4 months go.

  i won't be going back - ever.. but i've decided the best reply to the watchtower is to be happy and i do try to be happy every day even thought i wasted my entire life on this religion.

  i cherish every day, practice mindfulness and do my best to be content with the life i have.. it is only now that i see that most jws i know are deeply unhappy people.

  I thought Jehovah was a happy God?

  You are confusing him with Jehoho. Most JDubs follow Jehohum the apathetic god, or Jehobo the homeless god it seems to me.

  we all know the rate of suicide is high among jw's.

  i was a born in and my entire life i would have these thoughts that could come out of nowhere,"kill yourself.

  I expressed that I was really troubled with suicidal thoughts and had written goodbye letters to my kids.

  What? You mean you didn't repeat the magic mantra of "I am an integrity keeper." and then bake some cookies?

  ( Reference to a mind-numbing video)

  I just last Sunday visited with one of my peer group who commented that they feel NOTHING is ever good enough in the congregation. They also mentioned that when they walked out of the kh they felt that they were as invisible as a ghost. Not one person spoke to them one the way out, No one stops to visit her or her sister. She said they both feel they are non-persons. Then she stopped for a minute and said, "I guess I must be doing something wrong, It has to be my fault that I feel this way."

  FOG Fear of dying at the Big A Obligation Always do more than any human can Guilt It's YOUR fault if you feel left out or that you cannot DO MORE!

  Then we may wonder why JDubs commit suicide.

  Russian Ban upheld - JWs lose appeal

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the supreme court of russia has rejected the jehovah's witnesses' appeal.. https://jw-russia.org/news/17071719-195.html.

  july 17, 2017 the supreme court of russia has missed the last chance to restore law and justice for the 175,000 russian citizens professing the religion of jehovah's witnesses.

  it took less than an hour of the meeting a panel of three supreme court judges, to leave unchanged the decision taken earlier by the judge yuri ivanenko, the liquidation and ban any and all registered organizations of the religion.since there is no more effective domestic remedies, the believers will appeal to the european court of human rights and other international organizations.. *note: as reported by the jworg source, jw-russia.org.

  the october 2017 wt study article (simplified).

  let us consider some examples of fake love.

  when satan talked to eve in the garden of eden, what he said made it seem that he wanted the best for her.

  If he's going to let me suffer because other grown ass people are doing stupid things, that makes no sense.

  But remember that paragon King David of the bible?

  How many died because HE sinned? Today, just as then, the higher up the ladder you go the less personal accountability you have; the lower you are on the JDub ladder the more you must pay for your "sins" and those of others.

  What a dysfunctional, sick society!
