  the purpose of this thread is to share some history with the community.

  i am an active jw.

  the reason i picked this forum is due to the openness and ease with which information can be accessed.

  Will they drink the Kool Aid?

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as you know the question regarding the “kool aid” is related to the tragic events at guyana and jim jones.

  blind obedience and faith in this man resulted in a massive loss of lives.. sometimes we see the same pattern of blind obedience to the watchtower from the witnesses.

  this could be on major items or small details.

  Same situation here hecce in the Spanish congregations around. They just imitate everyone else's reactions even though they have no idea what's going on. But if Jehovah wants them there, they will be there. Can you imagine the hell they would pay if they decided to miss the annual meeting since they won't get much out of it?

  Thank you for the update. No new Spanish NWT yet huh? I'm sure many in Spanish are starting to wonder if they'll ever receive the new version.

  Unfortunately the average jw will just conclude it is another sign that the end is near and consider it persecution.

  Stupid, stupid nonsense in the October JW broadcast

  by sir82 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so in the october jw broadcast, there is a "morning worship" segment in which g. jackson goes to great lengths to explain how the term "those taking the lead" are not "leaders".. the terms are exactly equivalent, of course, but jackson, with a wink & smirk, pats himself on the back for his own cleverness on how different they really are.it's just so bizarrely absurd.. imagine if such tortured reasoning were applied to other areas..... -------------------------------------.

  restaurant manager: i'm sorry, the only position we have open is for dishwasher.

  applicant: that's insulting!

  Interesting that none of the questions that are considered are related to the preaching work or how it will be affected. They must be realizing it's a waste of time.

  They added apostasy in this year's April study edition in the following article "What You Vow, Pay” para. 16. They stated "However, some married Christians have viewed certain situations as a reason for separation, such as the extreme endangerment of one’s life or spirituality by an abusive or apostate spouse." So obviously apostasy must be affecting greatly for it to be included in the list of reasons for separation. I don't remember it being included as a reason before this article came out.

  And to think that I used to be proud to follow through precisely on these type of instructions from them! Damn was I blind! And gullible!
