What Does the WTS say is the mark for survival of Armaggeddon--Baptism

if you have not yet come to know and to accept as a way of life the righteous decrees of jehovah, you have no time to lose.

you must act quickly if you are to stand before jehovah’s executional forces with the mark of true christian identification.

21 ......To be saved we must ‘endure to the end’ of our present life or of this system. (Matthew 24:13) Only if we thus remain faithful as witnesses of Jehovah will baptism save us.

Yes, JW's, whatever you do, reject outright every scripture which shows that Christians are to be witnesses of Christ - and not of Jehovah:

Isa. 62:2; Acts 11:26; Matt. 10:18; Mark 13:9; Luke 24: 47,48; Acts 1:8; John 1:15; John 5:37; John 8:18; John 15:26,27; Acts 10:39; Acts 10:43; Acts 13:31; Acts 22:15; Acts 22:20; Acts 23:11; Acts 26:16; 1 Cor. 1:6; 1 Tim. 2:6,7; 2 Tim. 1:8; 1 John 5:9; Rev. 1:9; Rev. 12:17; Rev. 17:6; Rev. 19:10; Rev. 20:4.

Mr. Rutherford's new "brand name" and re-branding strategy in 1931 worked a treat. Sent those pesky Bible Students into virtual obscurity.

Was There An Occasion Where An Entire Congregation Broke Away?

by pale.emperor in

i remember reading somewhere (perhaps on here?

) than an entire congregation disassociated and started their own congregation after decided that the gb were apostate.. was this an urban myth or is there any evidence of this?.

The Fall Guy

I remember hearing that the elders and numerous publishers of a congregation in Falkirk, Scotland had to be booted out in the 80's - by hit men from the Britain Branch, because of "apostasy", or as we call it, "having our eyes opened."

Probably a major reason why the cult has taken legal control of K.H.'s.

A Must Read Update on WBTS and Darkspilver from reddit

by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in

jw
friends

many of us know that watch tower (yes, two words in this case) has issued a subpoena to reddit to try to gain darkspilver's identity due to accusations of copyright infringement:.

tl;dr: on april 9, watch tower filed a response to the eff's motion to quash (filed march 26) regarding the subpoena submitted to reddit in an attempt to find /u/darkspilver's identity.. the wt response is publicly available here as a pdf, from the site court listener.. a number of other documents relating to the case are available on the same site, here.. and the eff's motion to quash is available on the eff's website here.. details: as i'm sure many of us know, watch tower (yes, two words in this case) has issued a subpoena to reddit to try to gain /u/darkspilver's identity due to accusations of copyright infringement.

specifically, watch tower is claiming copyright infringement for two things: first, darkspilver posted the back page of the november 2018 watchtower which was an article entitled "what gift can we give to jehovah?” which explained how to donate.

The Fall Guy

When Darkspilver was here, he never revealed any exclusives or "inside info." He was just usually on the ball to present JW info which was in the public domain - never condemning or vilifying the org and its hierarchy.

Neither did he reveal that he was a devoted & active J.W.

And from looking at his Reddit stuff - as far as the cult's concerned - "nothing to see here folks."

Why would the org fork out $$$$$$ in legal fees to target an irrelevant blogger? That's the mystique!

He went to the meeting today!

by HappyBlessedFree in

so after almost 5 months of not attending meeting, today my husband decided to attend the special talk.

i am sad, frustrated, nervous, but also hopeful that he will see something that he never did before .

lies and manipulation.

The Fall Guy

Hopefully your husband had the same reaction as I did:

The "special" talk in the UK was a video presentation by a Bethelite speaker, and during the video, the speaker in the video stopped talking to introduce a video of two people's experience!

Mind-numbing electronic religion. (I watched it on the internet, by the way)

Is This About J.W's...

by BluesBrother in

from the bbc website.

the feature is about ex cult members .

this mans experience as certain similarities.

The Fall Guy

Just read it and came here to post! :)

If it looks like a cult, sounds like a cult, and acts like a cult - then it's a cult!

What woke you up?

by HappyBlessedFree in

i’m fairly new so i don’t know everyone’s backstory.

how did you realize the organization was false?.

The Fall Guy

My alarm clock!

Sorry HBF, welcome.

The scales fell off my eyes thanks to "two witnesses" -

The cult's anti-scriptural perversions that -

a) Romans 6:7 is literal and that a person's own death wipes out their sins.

b) Rev. 20:12 says new scrolls will be opened during the millennium and will contain new teachings. (3 lies attributed to one verse!)

From that point on, I researched everything the org ever told me was "truth."

No fun debating "imperfect" JWs

by Tantalon in

well that was no fun at all, just got a visit to invite me to the last supper memorial.

haven't had a call for a long long time.

i tried to engage them about following bible not watchtower, they just kept changing the subject as they have always done but this time every challenge was met with "we are not perfect,the slave is not perfect" and "we don't want to have a debate".

The Fall Guy

I would have replied, "The Pope is not perfect, and the Catholic priesthood is not perfect." Regardless of their parroted answers, (and we all did it!) JW's nowadays are genuinely living in fear of -

a) the revelatory media information about their cult & its leadership's "direction & practices"

b) never living to see the promised (by the cult!) and well-overdue Armageddon in their own lifetime.

Bottom line - many JW's faith in the org is probably at an all-time low.

For active JW's - Is your "SLAVE" wrong in saying this...

by The Fall Guy in

w74 10/1 p. 607 questions from readers - “ death, [a person's own death] is the full payment for sin.”.

or are these scriptures wrong?.

(matthew 26:28) “...this means my ‘blood of the covenant,’ which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins.”.

(Matthew 26:28) “...this means my ‘blood of the covenant,’ which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins.”

(Ephesians 1:7) By means of him we have...the forgiveness of our trespasses...”

(Acts 2:38) “...be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins...”

(Acts 13:38) “Let it therefore be known to you, brothers, that through this one a forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,

(Colossians 1:14) by means of whom we have...the forgiveness of our sins.

The org's dogma repudiates these Biblical statements about the ransom sacrifice. Hmmm. I need a drink.
