I think the WTS heads such as F Franz was worried about questioning or critically thinking people within the organization, such as questioning the validity of 1914 when no other christian based faith made any similar proclamation.

Power does funny things to men, Franz was one who was oh so righteous but at the same time was also oh so corrupt in his endeavors to keep his acquired power, this continues on with the JWS GB men today .

"Not Bringing Reproach on Jehovah's Name" is a Non-Sensical Excuse for Shunning

by truth_b_known in

for whatever reason i was thinking on the topic of jehovah's witnesses' practice of disfellowshipping its members based on the concept of preventing "bringing reproach on jehovah's name".

follow me if you will -.

over 20 years ago a friend of mine did something rather crazy; he committed a major crime.

non-sensical because the organization never takes responsibility for its own faults.
In word the organization says it is imperfect, it practice it holds itself out to be infallible.

Yes quite bit of contravening double speak when you think about it.

Sounds more like self imposed inherent hypocritical corruption.

The reality is whenever the power of god is placed into men's hands a conundrum of confusion is presented for humanity.

Theological speaking from a Christian perspective if a person admits to their transgression (sin) and asks to be forgiven by his associated Christian brothers he should not be shunned.

They (he) still has to face the laws of the land (Cesar's Laws)

When Jesus Christ came to mankind it changed things for all of us, the JWS dont see and recognize that.

Will there be a sense of urgency in 30 years?

by neat blue dog in

it's pretty easy to see how current events would have any jw convinced the end is imminent, but i just don't see how there could be a major push for zealous service, pioneering, etc.

decades into the future.

even if (when) world events happen periodically that could scare the r&f, there are now countless hours of hd video of jw leaders saying how close the end is.

Rocketman123

The WTS/JWorg operates and sustains itself from fearmongering, it has for decades, being that is so, the likelihood of that continuing is an assumed probability.

If you could pick out critical errors to the JWS religion what would it be ?

by Rocketman123 in

many that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.

somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".

Or it was a massive scam

Possibly with a commercial twist.

Its like Russel wasn't really a well studied bible scholar/theologian but a turn of the century charlatan.

when i see watchtower videos or interviews i can’t help but notice how bland and boring jws really are!

they are so vanilla.

no excitement, just robotic conversation.. what the hell happened to these people?

Rocketman123

JWs now days are like wishy washy brain dead zombies.

Cult mind control and intellectual oppression does that over time.

"Young people ask" book claims 97% youth masturbatory or seen porn...not J.W youth??

by Witness 007 in

as a youg man this stunned me when i studied the original "youth" book 97% had done it so i thought soo that's pretty much everyone i guess the 3% were witness youth!

also "awake" claimed 90% of students had accessed porn at some time.

everyone is doing it i guess 10% are the witness youth...how dumb was i?.

Rocketman123

All of these boys have stroked the salami in their lives that you can count on.

As a matter of fact they were once members of the Salami Stokers of America Club ....

Do You Think Trump Will Make A Comeback?

by minimus in

jw
friends

do you think he could get reinstated as president?

do you think trump will run again for president or do you think he will just be a force for the republican party behind the scenes?.

Rocketman123

The problem is that he expects fellow Republicans to put loyalty to
him above loyalty to the Constitution and their oath of office.

Good point TD

Trump assembled his own constitution which stated you better be loyal to him irregardless of established laws, rules, information, intellectual honesty and truth.

What aspects do you view most favorably about the WT and/or its religion?

by Disillusioned JW in

even if you disapprove of much about the wt and/or its religion, what aspects do you view most favorably about the wt and/or its religion?

for me one of the things i view most favorably about the wt and its religion is its extremely strong insistence that jws never intentionally kill another human being.

i especially appreciate that regarding those who have been born, but i think some abortions of human embryos might be justifiable.

Rocketman123

The one thing that comes to mind is the advantage of meeting different people in a social environment that you could say you had something in common.

Yes that includes meeting people of the opposite sex.
