  JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."

  by Muddy Waters in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.

  feel free to add your own observations and experience.

  the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.

  "Older Men" = twenty/thirty year old elders that couldn't give a rats tail about anyone or anything not centered on themselves giving counsel to sixty or seventy year old people.

  This is a further big change for old timers.

  And some of us "rebellious" not so old timers. I will be godd--ned if I am going to invest money in electronic gadgets for THEIR benefit. I refuse to promote their website, I refuse to watch their propaganda videos, and I refuse to download their latest nulite!

  A review of the WT study, "Do not let your love grow cold."

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a while ago someone (i forget who) was doing a series, a regular analysis, of wt studies from the current week.

  i have't seen any for a while so i thought i'd contribute one.

  have a bit of fun picking out all the unsubstantiated assertions and logical fallacies etc... so here goes: (if you enjoy it let me know and i might try doing another.

  Jesus said that his followers would be known by "LOVE" among themselves.

  So IF, as WT hammers on about, the "world"(non JDubs) are not Jesus followers then how the hell can something they DO NOT have cool off? It cannot!

  So trying to absolve themselves of ANY responsibility to be genuine in their "love" for each other WT claims it is THE WORLD whose "love" for God is cooling off. The crumb is thrown out in the last few paragraphs, but as a nearly ninety year old brother said recently, "They have "love" on their lips, but NOT in their hearts!"
  

  The utter BS of their claim is obvious.

  Special Bethelite Speakers

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've noticed that some elders will insist on getting a special bethel speaker for memorials, special talks, or sometimes for no reason at all!

  i believe they are trying build connections they can use later, but who pays for it?

  the congregation does and as a former account servant i can tell you airfare isn't all that cheap.

  Anybody else notice this trend?

  I sure have. Where I am at there is one cong. that just cannot abide to be second to any other cong. in any matter. Regularly fly out "special" Bethel speakers, and then they put on the dog and pony show. The only ones who get to go sit through the whole she-bang are the oh so mighty elders, pioneers, and any really favored ones who get a personal invite and then get bragging rights to lord it over the rest of the peons about how THEY got to hear the guy, and all the "special" vomit that flowed from his pie-hole.
  

  Thank gawd I have NEVER been invited to one of these ass-kiss fests.

  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.

  Maybe the humour got beaten out of people.

  There is another thread about humour in the Bible. My guess is that just like the Bible that people professed to believe they have no humour.

  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"

  2. experiences

  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.”
