  Can a righteous God be one-sided?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  a mother and her four young daughters — the oldest of whom was 6 — died in a residential fire wednesday morning in des plaines, il.

  officials said.. four young children and one adult were killed in a house fire in the 700 block of west oakton street in des plaines, jan. 27, 2021.. .

  after 45 years as a jehovah's witness, this tragic story really has me really questioning if there really is a god?

  The truthful and honest answer to this posed question is that there never was a god or gods as it were, humanity has had an inherent ignorance which created gods through are imagination, hoping and pleading for help to these supposed supernatural deities has carried on for millenniums.

  No supernatural deity has so far intervened to date.
  

  Terrible things happen to the best of us, as well the worst of us, this is the reality to which we must endure.

  It really is up to us to cope and endure what problems we face.

  It is are own responsibility for are continuing survival.

  Pioneers, Elder's Wives most self righteous. Etc.

  as a jw did you have a pioneer sister/elder's wife who was the biggest busybody, self righteous, arrogant pus in the circuit?

  who would look down on others and treat people like crap.. without giving to much away, i experienced one that knew everyone in circuit.

  and if she or her husband saw or heard something they didn't like it was " you know what the bible says" regardless if it was in there or not.

  Rm: what do you mean self- righteous. It is not their fault that the deity appointed them.

  The reality they self anointed themselves as god's chosen ones, which also helped in selling the literature they published.

  Those certain men made their own importance out their own ascribed apostasy.

  Well maybe the other known deity known for lying and deceiving had a hand in the endeavors of those men.

  What “Secret Sins” Do You Think Many JWs Are “Guilty “ Of?

  by minimus in

  i know a lot of witnesses that drink a lot!

  secret sins people would confess to the elders were masturbation, dating and touching certain areas and anger issues.

  some fathers/husbands looked like model figures until you heard from the family that the dictator ms were horrible at home in more ways than one..

  The whole slew of possible sins such alcohol abuse, corrupt business affairs, adultery, child abuse even murder.

  Then you get on the sins of the top GB leaders and their onerous false doctrines which end up killing and destroying people's lives.

  jehovah can't be your father in this life.

  'they [jw members] address him prospectively as "our father.

  jesus is not your mediator:.

  How about the fact that you have to make a personal vow of servitude and loyalty to the GB members of the organization (GB) who they now claim are the Faithful, Discrete Slave.

  This happens at the talk just before baptism.

  I'm happy because I'm not suffocated with fear, ignorance oppression, exploitation and corruption by men who propagate these through their own self assumed redeemable sins and elevated self glorification .

  Power corrupts , absolute power corrupts absolutely.

  The JWS religion is full of self righteous arrogant people, right at the very top of the organization as well.

  Kingdom Halls are the WTS's indoctrination training centers.

  The WTS tries to stimulate people to become pioneers distributing the literature the WTS has published and has been doing so since the very beginning of the Watchtower Corporation in the late 1800's.
  

  Plain and simple

  The WTS/JWorg's top men cultivate more power, more money and more freely unpaid volunteers when people come into the organization and start participating.

  Mind you they accomplish this feat by lying, deceiving and manipulating people through their own devised agenda of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which scripturaly are really acts of apostasy and false prophesying.

  during a recent conversation i had with someone, a question came up that i really don't know the answer to.

  did jw's still drink during prohibition in the us during the 1920's until it's repeal in 1933?

  was alcoholic beverages considered forbidden and possibly subject to disfellowshipping?.

  Judge Rutherford condemned prohibition at the time and smuggled illegal booze for himself while he lived at the luxury home called Beth Sarim.

  He always drove a extremely high priced Cadillac too just like Anthony Morris the noted boozer in today's GB members.

  What about obeying Caesars laws as the bible says.

  There are many elements of hypocrisy in the JWS from the top down.

  "The founding of the world"

  by Yalbadaoth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why are wt determined to relate the "founding of the world" to abel and "before the founding of the world" to a period before abel but after adam's sin?

  there seems like a lot of twisting of verses and words to prove a point which always makes me suspicious of their motives!

  (i have my own take on it but would like to hear others).

  You need to twist stories to create something to appear factual, the mythological writings in Genesis is a story which was told from people who were inherently ignorant to how the world actually came to be.
