  When doing prison witnessing the elders have been informed not take drugs or potential weapons in.

  Also they are to be especially careful with keys (if they are issued) and they must leave doors and gates as they found them – locked or open.

  November 2019 Watchtower (Would love to hear the comments in the hall)

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from the november 2019 watchtower study edition.. how many of you would like to know what the brothers and sisters would respond to this question.

  also, if you went into a hall how would you like to respond to the question.. 8. how should we respond to lies?.

  8 satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.

  If I was still at the KH I would like to answer the OP's question by saying, "the Watchtower gives us a fine reminder to never argue with those taking the lead. If we want to debate something it would be better not to come."

  I would be careful not to mention having to leave the hall by tread over all the burning arrows at the end of every meeting.

  What can a therapist really do?

  by Thetruthhurts in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  hi all, i've not read the forums for awhile as i've been trying to move on with my life but i'm back and posting for the first time feeling like i cant get a grip.

  so i'm wondering for those of you that have seen a therapist and say that it truly helps, what can be accomplished?

  i'm just really skeptical, but starting to feel desperate.

  You never really forget what has happened to you. No therapist really understands unless they've been through it. Find a true friend who understands. It'll be cheaper.
  

  Also the therapist is part of a professional body (aka organisation)... buyer beware.

  why do jws hate pagans?

  by nowawake14 in

  paganism from my view is just a mental fantasy.

  it's not real.

  so why do jws get mad at it anyway?

  Their brand must remain untarnished.

  But so long as your actions do not tarnish the brand (you do good cover ups) you can get away with whatever you want to do.

  The source of a their false doctrine is pagan. From what I can see, it all goes back to Theosophy, also called Theo Sufism. It is much tied up with seeking to destroy the Christian faith. Also Anarchy, Communism and celebrity (via Lord Byron who influenced the early Decemberists).

  JWs, The WatchTower Society, Child Abuse and Disfellowshipping

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  something just struck me.. is the wts the only religion that won't kick people out for abusing children, but would kick you out for visiting a website that informs you that the wts won't kick people out for abusing children .... it really shows where their sensibilities lie.

  they are more interested in acting as gatekeepers to information, especially information about them, than providing basic levels of protection to the children of their members.. maybe someone with a better turn of phrase can shorten it, it might make a good meme - something short and simple that really makes people think:.

  "the wts - tougher on those who read reports of jw child abuse than on jws who conduct child abuse".

  Wow Blondie I didn't realise they frowned on Strong's Concordance. I have had that one for years.

  I think I may have taken my Concordance to a Tuesday group. If it wasn't that it was something related. Anyway, the Group Study Conductor was alarmed with me looking at the Bible in such depth.

  At London Bethel, when I spoke to one of the WT writers about the Greek and Hebrew words, he immediately asked if I was apostate. I was stunned. He's the one who did the big collection of Bibles at London Bethel. In fairness to him, he did apologise to me afterwards.

  Another thought - shorten the Bible by saying it is too expensive to print all of it. The main message are the words of Jesus Christ. Then say the rest is online.

  Just like shortening the magazines, you can shorten the Bible.

  Then drop the mags, drop the Bible and just transmit your stuff. But make sure people have to log on to view.
  

  Carry on like this and all you are left with is GB smiling next to Caleb and Sophia and you can not only identify who is watching but penalise them if they don't.

  Yes and some COs just luuurrrvvve having their make-up done.

  Sitting through boring meetings and obeying orders an ordeal. But if you think it could get you in the WT movies and you want that...

  A - "What do you do?"

  B "Oh, I'm in Audio Visual."

  A - "Oh wow."

  B - "What are your goals?"

  A - "I am pioneering this month and I want to regular pioneer."

  B - "Would you like to help out back-stage at this years convention?"

  A - Squeal of delight - "I'd love to!"
