I do not believe in the bible but I will use the reasoning from the New Testament to argue against Watchtower. The reason I will only use the New Testament is that Jesus replaced the Mosaic Law with himself. Even Watchtower agree with this principle.

Why do Watchtower use judicial committees to judge. There were no judicial committees in the first century. The only arrangement for the elders was to help spiritually sick to have a clean conscience. James 5:13-15. The only law Jesus gave was to love one another. Freeing the jews from the law of the Pharisees who put to many burdens on the Jews. Jesus also gave a commandment Not to judge as you will be judged by god.

The Watchtower pick and choose what they want from the old testament. For example, no tattoos, no dressing up in clothing that resembles that of the opposite sex. There is more of these but I will not add further examples. An exception to this is beards. It was a reqirement for Jews to have beards from the mosaic law. But this is a no no according to the Watchtower who seem to be inconsistent without justification.

For any of you JW lurkers reading this, take note. You are being deceived.

To sum up. Judicial Committees make a judgement that causes all sorts of grief. JESUS gave us a commandment not to judge. Further to this he said to treat everyone as brothers and sisters. No governing body was set up in the first century.

Do you know anything at all about the Middle East under Ottoman rule?

In the last hour or so I have read about the empire on Wikipedia. Pretty barbaric. Islamic ideology has truly shown it's true colors.

Seems as if every country since has added to the misery of these people.

When will it end. The Jews have done their bit also with their belief that they are gods chosen people. Might I add that Jehovah's Witnesses have oppressed people too.

Time for people to be educated.

So you're okay with Turkish Muslims invading Palestine but not other empires.

At least Palestinians owned their own property.

Today they have been pushed off their property and are restricted in their travel, access to medicine, food supply, clean water, Building supplies. Etc.

So the solution to the problem is to let the French and British run it again?

No. This is what happens when there is foreign interference. The British are just as guilty.

Israel is a sovereign, recognized nation. President Trump did not let Israel do anything. Israel does as it pleases.

Israel only became a state in 1947. This was due to the holocaust. Palestinians were forced from their properties that they had owned for generations. Even now in the West Bank, Palestinian land owners are being forced from their properties for the expansion of Israeli settlements.

Before 1947, all of this area was relatively peaceful.

How would you like it if I came over to your property and forced you out by gun point and resumed your land.

I believe that all candidates proposing to apply for such a position should complete a course at a university on the geo political status, diplomacy and ethics as well as geography. Must know where North Korea is before you want to bomb it.

This would prevent trouble like we have at the moment where the elected president wouldn't have a clue in any of these attributes.

People in countries outside of the United States are shit scared of anything that Trump does in regard to foreign politics. For example. Recently he goes to Israel and lets the Israeli prime minister make Jerusalem the capital of Israel. There were enough tensions between them and the Palestinians as it was.

Oprah would not have the qualifications. This is in no way to say that she is not a nice person.

I am getting disfellowshipped

by CitizenofEarth in

maybe some of you remember me, maybe not.

for general information i am now 19 years old, and living by myself.

for the past 1 year (more like 1.5 years) i have been quietly fading out of the hypocrisy of this organization, but since i still live in the town i grew up in it has been hard, and filled with different challenges.

Do not go to anymore meetings. Do not answer any unsolicited phone calls. Do not engage with them in public.

Resume your happy life without fuckwits annoying you.

Will #metoo have an affect on forcing changing attitudes at Watchtower?

by jwfacts in

despite decades of the feminist movement, watchtower's attitude of woman being inferior has changed little, with pauline sexism justified as inspired, on the basis that women are lesser emotionally, intellectually and physically.

jehovah's witnesses seem to accept this with little resistance.

is there anything about the #metoo movement that may wake followers up?

Here is a story of a #metoo exjw. Listen to the reply at the end from the borg.
