So she starts in with the world is getting bad and will end soon.

That's the propagation made the WTS leaders for decades now and it is false information because the fact is humanity over the centuries has gotten better, for example there are less wars, less famine there were greater plaques, more earthquakes etc. etc.

The problem with the JWS is that they take whatever the GB heads spout as being the actual unquestionable truth, this includes interpretation of bible scripture.

The truthful reality is usually something quite different, but one needs to be secular educated, but since most JWS are not well educated the ignorance circulates throughout the organization from the top down.

The Watchtower is NOT a false prophet

by The Quiet One in

regarding what some have said here about the wt being a false prophet.. i would like to make my point regarding the wt not being a false prophet... so please, if you can be patient enough to read this, at least try to understand what i am getting at.. a false prophet is one who, according to deuteronomy, makes a false prediction of the future and claims that the prediction came from god, or in other words claiming that 'god has said he will do a certain thing at a certain time' etc.. for example, hypothetically speaking, if someone had claimed: "god will bring about the end of the world in 2010", they would have been proven to be a false prophet, obviously.

but, as an example, imagine a man who claimed the position of a prophet of god, (as moses did, because although he was not the type of prophet that predicted the future.. he was still a prophet or spokesman for god) and that he had publicised worldwide, according to his interpretation of a (for example) prophecy found in the book of isaiah, that the world would end in 2010.. and he had also stated that he was not saying that god will end the world in that year.. but only that there was biblical evidence that god might do so.

that would clearly have been a mistake.

Oh yes it is

A false prophet that made true money.

Did they sanctify Jehovah's name ?

I dont think so !

The leaders of the WTS should have adhered to Jesus's words when he said no one knows of the time not even he, but then again the WTS wouldn't have sold so much literature .

What are your personal reasons for hating the Jehovah's Witnesses religion ?

by Rocketman123 in

first thing comes to mind is that this organization through its leaders are not witnessing the true and honest version of the gospel teachings of jesus christ .. they are subjectively teaching/preaching a tainted version made up by the top controlling men of the organization, which i'm sure is connected to the proliferation and distribution of literature which these men publish themselves.

.

when jesus said that no one knows of the time not even he, he didn't say a select few will know .. the other thing that bothers me is this organization promotes human ignorance on many levels, admonishing education or knowledge that mankind needs for its very survival... there are many other religious organizations that do this as well but the jws is just one of these organizations.

Rocketman123

I hate the fact that is was false prophet charlatanism that virtually built this organization from the ground up and all of its containing wealth and power.

The Watchtower Corporation proclaimed things that never happened but they certainly distributed and circulated a lot of literature.

It becomes a bit ironic when you think about entire the core foundation of the JWS religion is based upon false prophecy and apostasy according to scripture.

How and why did these self described chosen anointed ones (men) do that ?

Maybe they weren't the chosen anointed ones after all but spirit directed men by Satan the great liar and deceiver, who instigated these men away from true righteousness toward Jehovah ???

They placed the power, vindication and glory of god upon themselves for themselves.

WT study 7-11

by road to nowhere in

par 7. jws are proud of bring uneducated to the point of being anti education.. par 8. the boreans studied what they were told and verified it, unlike the forbidden research now.

a religion that sprang from the adventist movement in the 1800s, founded in america, headquartered in america but not american.

🤯.

Rocketman123

Many religions admonish education as being useless dribble, for the reason that higher education equates to particular knowledge and non support toward spiritual adherence, which the top religious leaders use to both control people with and empower themselves.

Most doubts aren't created by apostates. They are created in a Kingdom Hall.

by pistolpete in

i found this interesting perspective on reddit.. post;.

i remember the moment the first real crack in my faith happened as a jehovah's witness.

i was sitting in the kingdom hall during the watchtower study where, as is common, the article was talking about how the israelites as a nation abandoned jehovah.. "but wait," i thought, "having a nation represent him here on earth was part of his plan.

Sooner or later JWS have to face the lies, ignorance and corruption which this organization was built upon.

Perhaps it might be easier these days with the available information on the inter net.

ie ..... before I left in the mid 1980's I didn't know that the self proclaiming "Anointed" president of the JWS J Rutherford was a boozing adulterator who at the end of his life was separated from his wife, who lived in a self built mansion he called Beth Sarim, who drove the most expensive cars and surrounded himself with bodyguards whenever he made a public appearance.

Things you find on the inter net

Are JWs still reporting time?

by Vanderhoven7 in

here are some little child encouragers at work.. .

how do they report time since the halls closed?.

Rocketman123

Disturbing how this religoius organization exploits children, even for money.

Brainwash them young so they stay brainwashed.

Quite an accurate statement.

Add to that, what comes off the pages of the literature the WTS propagates is another aspect.

In this case the doctrines which created a religious following are the doctrines which are going to eventually kill it.

The over oppression of power and control which JWS elders are afforded is a reason that made many people leave this organization altogether.

JWS elders are there to judge, evaluate and even penalize people at will to an individual's apparent righteousness.

The pressure to serve in service and other JWS activities is pretty strong and has been for a long time, the time in the late 1960's was especially hard and aggressive .

Interesting that now the requirement is less than it used to be for hours in service for qualifying to be a pioneer .

Now days the JWS just stand by a literature rack on the streets.

Good grief

20 Years Occupying Afghanistan, Nothing Achieved

by Simon in

so the occupation of afghanistan is coming to an end and, as predicted, they achieved absolutely nothing in that 20 years apart from:.

the death of 2,300+ service personnel and tens of thousands more seriously maimed or injured.. handing $billions or even $trillions of taxpayer dollars to defence contractors (so the military industrial complex wins, even if the military doesn't have a clear victory).. has this lengthy but short-term military occupation really changed anything in the country?

it doesn't appear so.. i said at the time that the us wouldn't have the staying power to enact real change.

Rocketman123

You have to keep in mind that the Taliban were strongly involved in Heroin cultivation and sales, then using that money to buy weapons and military items.

So given that they will most likely restart doing that, they are going to build up again a military force to overthrow the in place Afghan military and take over the country.

Allah willing of course.
