bullying

i should preface my comments by pointing out that i have no aversion to being disfellowshipped.

i fully expect that to happen.

all of my immediate family and a great deal of my extended family have moved on with me and we all enjoy a full and satisfying life.

A simple statement which I'm prepared to use if my still-in friends ever confront me when they visit:

"I'm very willing for us to discuss the various scriptures which I feel are not presented as current truth by the "slave." J.W.'s are averse to discussing scriptures which another JW sees in a totally different light.

Simple example:

Brother/sister, Revelation 7:14 speaks about a "great tribulation." Do you think it's accurate to say that it refers to the great tribulation at Matthew 24:21, or would you reason that the angel is referring to the great tribulation which he'd mentioned only a few minutes earlier in his conversation with John, at Revelation 2:22? How can something which Jesus said would never occur again, have a greater fulfilment?

Rabbit-in-the-headlights moment, followed by incoherent ramblings from the cult's literature.

I wish you well as you try to help your friend see what the org is really all about.

Jesus in a Super Hero Cape

by iloowy.goowy in

have you see the latest fashion for jesus in the wt?.

he's sporting a cape, just like superman!maybe caleb can get a t-shirt with a j logo instead of an s.. .

The WTBTS cult applies this verse to Jesus Christ -

(1 Timothy 6:15, 16) He is the King of those who rule as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords, 16 the one alone having immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. . . .

So why does their art department falsely depict the most powerful creature in the universe whom they've never seen, as an aged caped crusader holding a light-sabre?

A truly happifying movie quote:

"We have looked forward to this next fiscal year...in doing the math, we found that the amount of money flowing out will be much greater than the amount of money that we have coming in at this time." (Stephen Lett in the JW Broadcast video "Silence of the Lambs - the Fleecing Intensifies." @ 12 mins. 15 secs.

OCT 2019 Watchtower - Survival dependant on loyalty to JW Leaders

by Listener in

there is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.

what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.

since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.

The Fall Guy

The Watchtower page 17, par. 14 says - “Capable brothers from among the other sheep will take the lead. We will need to show our loyalty by supporting these brothers and by following their God-given direction. Our survival will depend on it!"

However the Bible says something completely different from what you say:

(Acts 4:12) Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.”

Sorry "faithful slave," it looks like you've been slurping too much of the Macallan while you were proof-reading the Writing Committee's latest offerings in The Witchturd.

The WTBTS is blatantly anti-Christ,

J.W.'s - Your "faithful" slave reveals it is an EVIL & HYPOCRITICAL "slave!"

by The Fall Guy in

study watchtower october 2019, page 12, par.

17 - "a true christian must make sure that his secular employment has nothing to do with babylon the great.

for example, he would not be an employee of a church.

The Fall Guy

Page 30, par. 15 - "When I get lonely or discouraged,* I find an encouraging talk or Morning Worship program to watch. That makes me feel closer to Jehovah and ~~Christ~~ his organization."

Yup, "Draw close to ~~God~~ the Organization, and they will draw close to you." (as close as a leech!)

* Because my "brothers & sisters" couldn't care less about me!

The Fall Guy

Study Watchtower October 2019, Page 12, par. 17 - "A true Christian must make sure that his secular employment has nothing to do with Babylon the Great. For example, he would not be an employee of a church. Furthermore, a Christian who is employed by some other business would not want to do extensive work at a facility that promotes false worship. And if he owns a business, he would certainly not bid on a job or do contract work for any part of Babylon the Great. Why do we take such a firm stand? Because we do not want to share in the works and sins of religious organizations that are unclean in God’s eyes."

You cannot be a true Christian if -

a) you have anything to do with Babylon the Great, especially doing paid work on their property

b) you offer to conclude a business contract with them......

.....because you will be sharing and promoting in the works & sins of religious organizations who are unclean in God's eyes.

Why does your "slave" promote & assist Babylon the Great by drawing up contracts with them to sell beautiful Kingdom Halls and Branch Offices to "false religions?" https://jwtalk.net/topic/11307-new-zealand-branch-sold/

Two JW's comments highlight their blind obedience to anything the cult does:

"It feels wrong to sell it to Babylon but hey, its just a building."

"I agree, but Babylon's money is as good as anyone else's - we are not responsible for property after is passes out of our hands."

Exit strategy? Sounds good.

I am not clued up as far as business law goes, but I seem to remember that if a business goes bust, then new owners can take it over and not be liable for any legal proceedings, debts or guarantees for which the previous officers of the corporation were responsible.

As my old grand-pappy used to say, "Where there's a pile of money, there's a pile of corrupt people."

Hey G.B., how do I get saved at Armageddon?

by The Fall Guy in

study watchtower september 2019, page 12, par.

16 - “....to be saved at armageddon, we must show that we “know god” and that we “obey the good news about our lord jesus.” (2 thess.

1:7-9) we “know god” when we know his likes, dislikes, and standards.

JW Mother Dying.... Not a Big Deal.... But it Should Be

by Zoos in

jw
friends

i’ve been shunned for many years so her passing doesn’t really constitute a loss for me.

her and her husband made it clear many years ago they didn’t want a homo in their family.

request granted.

The Fall Guy

Zoos, the cult mentality effectively turns a JW into a possessed individual. They become worker-bees.

They no longer think or act for themselves, because they have handed over control of every aspect of their lives to a money-making corporation, not to "Jehovah" as they have been conned into believing.

Our relatives with this mindset willingly terminate our family ties and cease to be our family. In recent years, I have been "stoned to death" by my colluding siblings - not because of any judicial action by the cult, but simply because I was informing them of factual media items about the org which they described as "negative."

Christian love, eh?

Boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates

by pale.emperor in

now i think i may have seen everything.. "boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates".

i'm all for people being entitled to wear what they want and live as they please as long as they're not harming anyone but - a male prom queen?

maybe there wasn't much competition in his school?.

If a man who clearly looks like a man and is dressed like a man then walks into a ladies toilet, can he claim that he is "gender fluid" and felt like a woman that very hour?

I think we are going to see a lot of unpleasant and complicated scenarios emerging very soon.
