More JW left ideology examples

by neat blue dog in

the latest gb update ramps up the fear of the plandemic even more, and introduces a whiteboard animation that advocates staying at home, wearing masks and social distancing.. https://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&category=latestvideos&item=pub-jwb_202012_12_video&docid=1011214&applanguage=e.

then there's another 'save the planet' type article that mentions debunked and unrealistic green new deal-esque talking points such as alternative energy, switching to a plant based diet and less manufacturing.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/peace-happiness/save-earth/.

Road to nowhere - they can't count. Well they can but it's special counting. And the covid referred to might be the 11th plague visited upon the Eygptians (Exodust 41:42) which will be dealt in in next week's Watchtower study which took place last year.

They are gaslighters - and you need to always have your gaslight snuffer to hand when dealing with them.

Neat Blue Dog - they are very civil rights/green aren't they. As if that's the people they were out looking for. What you find amongst the deep greens is that they consider Pan is the one who will return when all the industry has gone. Then Pan and the nymphs and satyrs will prance back and everyone will be... back in the Age of Aquarius or something. That was supposed to be 1975 though wasn't it? :)

Who was it who ''rescued'', or ''saved'' you?

by Beth Sarim in

from the borg?.

i point to none other than cal lehman and the towerwatch ministries.

towewatch.com.. the years following the collapse of the ussr and the 1995 generation left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time.

God gave me a brain - I know that people have to have come before they have arrived and thereafter they are present.

Jesus said what Jesus said - I realised Watchtower was messing with the meaning of Jesus' words and that I had been lied to in my Bible study. Watchtower's con trick might be clever but Jesus' words cannot be tampered with. So I credit Jesus and thank His Father, Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for giving me a brain.

What Are Jehovah’s Witnesses Like Nowadays?

i’ve been gone a long time.

after my mother passed away a few years ago, i pretty much lost most contact with the witnesses.

a couple that were family friends for many years stopped checking on me to say hello.

Exactly - which ends up with you having to put your foot down hard on the excuses accelelorator.

Another observation - people in difficult circumstances who prove malleable are still dripping in (very few). Others who have faded for a non-scriptural reasons are being treated with kid gloves - publishers going 'coochy coo' at them.

If any of these remain or return, that into which they are going, will prove harder to leave. If they have trusted Watchtower, handed over various rights and dowloaded whatever - Watchtower can track and trace. And you know how keen some of those elders can be. Also what experts they are at firing emotional pain long distance. Or attempting to fire it.

Maths Virus 1914

by Anna Marina in

this is my latest video.

it is part 1 of a series that reveals the mathematical trickery watchtower uses to con people about the 1914 doctrine.

it takes a radically different approach to that of carl olof jonsson who dealt with dates.. this video focusses on how watchtower misuses the numbers in scriptures and creates a mental fog that prevents people from understanding and therefore prevents them from challenging.. the full title of the video is maths virus - revealing the antivirus to 1914. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llkmrul3afg.

Jeffro - it is all very simple. Ok maybe you wont be amazed. Personally I was. The matter does not rest on the reign of kings so much as an unspecified year. Then the numbers 19 and 14.

Nebuchadnezzar's reign is thereafter rendered irrelevant. The only things that really matter are the kings of Judah but even more than the kings, the prophets themselves. And the prophets have no ascension-year.

In my area they've got some new thumb screws for Christmas. Be online with your cong or look... apostate. After all, where else would you want to be? You know how important it is to be together.

Hi Shepherdless - sorry I misunderstood.

Hi Jeffro - you are missing the point - you have no need to go into any accession years. The entire thing is covered by 7 scriptures and at the end you realise - the date of the fall of Jerusalem is whatever you want it to be by whatever calendar you want. And providing that is consistent with the 41st year of Jeremiah's preaching - you are good to go. Oh and consistent with the 23rd year of Jeremiah's preaching...and.. oh I wont spoil the video series for you. :)

Someone else will be having a go at the dates on this thing - I will point you to the website at some point during the series of videos. But the dates wont be there immediately because it is work in progress and I can only do so much.

The key point you need to know about the 18th year of Nebuchadnezzar's rulership is that it is preceeeded by his 17th year of rulership and is followed by his 19th year of rulership. Also that the count to get to his 19th year of rulership starts with his 1st year of rulership, which is followed by 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc.

Its not difficult. Honest.

Hi Waton - No. No numerology here.

Numerology is It is often associated with the paranormal, alongside astrology and similar divinatory arts.

This is on the level of what you find in nursery school. We are at the level of

1, 2, 3

(Matthew 11:25) . . .At that time Jesus said in response: “I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to babes. . .

Hi Shepherdless - You'll find when I talk about Maths Virus I am referring not to numbers (arithmetic) but to a mental fog that WT produces using arithmetic. This fog prevents a person from being able to get accurate knowledge.

I do not present a secular date - what I'm saying is that because arithmetic is involved, the bottom line is WT preventing you from calling the number 3, 3 when they want to call 3, 11 (plus a few other issues). In that way it is a secular matter.

The Bible does not say that Jerusalem fell in the 18th year of Nebuchadnezzar anywhere. But it does say it was under seige.

(Jeremiah 52:28-29) . . .These are the people whom Neb‧u‧chad‧rez′zar took into exile: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews. 29 In the eighteenth year of Neb‧u‧chad‧rez′zar, from Jerusalem there were eight hundred and thirty-two souls.

(Jeremiah 32:1-3) . . .The word that occurred to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zed‧e‧ki′ah the king of Judah, that is, the eighteenth year of Neb‧u‧chad‧rez′zar. 2 And at that time the military forces of the king of Babylon were laying siege to Jerusalem; and as for Jeremiah the prophet, he happened to be under restraint in the Courtyard of the Guard that is in the house of the king of Judah; 3 because Zed‧e‧ki′ah the king of Judah had restrained him,. . .

Hi Slimboy - if you look again you'll see I describe arithmetic as a the most powerful tool of science. I did not say arithmetic was science.
