  The org and going beyond what is written

  by CitizenofEarth in

  hello there.. my father just claimed that the good thing about being a witness was how they just let the bible interpret itself.

  now i know the irony in this statement, but i dont know what to show him that he just cant discard with some ignorant excuse.

  any ideas?

  Show your dear dad the new convention video about 1975 then show him the recordings from a link about how they really did tell people they should sell their homes and leave jobs.

  One of the most defining thing that made me question JW church after 27 years was seeing the funeral discourse outline.

  it gave the poor bastard who past away no respect, hardly mentioned anything about the deceased.

  yet hijacked the event with cult propaganda..

  What would happen in the resurrection

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower

  we all know the jw doctrine of life and resurrection on earth after armageddon.

  this video inadvertently explores the flaws in the doctrine.

  so it seems that the 2017 convention will be showing a 3 part video series on lot's wife:.

  https://www.jw.org/en/publications/videos/remember-lots-wife/.

  perhaps they missed an opportunity to show the real story!:.

  Is the Jehovah's Witnesses religion based upon False Prophesy ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is probably the most qualitatively focused question that gets examined and investigated concerning the jws religion in a intent to derive an honest and correct answer to .

  my opinion based from facts derived from evaluating the jws's doctrines and teachings compared to the teaching within the bible itself is outstandingly yes.

  the probable reason for this is really not too hard to accept once its reflectively realized that the core operation of the jws is to publicly distribute the literature the wts's publishes.. doctrines were created and proliferated toward that agenda as they still are to this day.. the imposing fear of the soon to come armageddon, the supposed " this generation " , the said to come persecution of the jws because of the "end times" are all connecting adjectives that created a phobia or psychosis of fear that the wts uses and exploits to spur on the continuing proliferation and distribution of its own published works.. the unfortunate prevailing circumstances is that the wts creates a state of mental imbalance indoctrinated into people's consciousness who become strongly attached to this organization to their own peril and harm.. some have been so mentally wrapped up in this organization in their thinking consciousness and social attachment they couldn't resolve that engagement toward freeing themselves and their only resolve was to take their own life.. yes unfortunately suicide is closely related to the jws organization and disgustingly the wts leaders have used these suicides as vehicles of exploitation of see what happens when we leave the organization, again the element of fear is further exploited .

  I don't see junkyard as being any less extreme in his approach compared to religious people saying the the birds of mid heaven shall eat your corpses. Some things just have to be got off your chest. Passionate people like junk dog are no different than John the Baptist getting excited.

  Elders as Shepherd and teachers

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after the meeting this week and the song and parts about elders, something occurred to me.

  the elders don't teach as shepherds.. when nathan confronted david.

  he didn't make an accusation stating that jehovah informed him of what david did.

  The problem with shepards is all sheep are waiting to be fleeced or slaughtered. If you stay in the org you will be fleeced, if you leave you will be slaughtered. So the moral of the story is a choose between being cold or get eaten.
