  Theocratic Warfare and Taqiyya

  by aqwsed12345 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the concept of strategic deception exists in several religious and ideological contexts.

  in this article, we will explore and compare the theocratic warfare doctrine of the watchtower society and taqiyya in islam.

  both concepts have parallels in their mechanisms of permitting deception for religious purposes but differ significantly in their application and historical roots.. 1. theocratic warfare: the "rahab method".

  Unusual for me to read anything that long. Points right on. I will add atheist, governments, skeptics employ the same for their "god" be it a nation, race, sky daddy.

  Of course the GB abd JWs will say only they are right and entitled to such.

  Not paint; whitewashed.

  There are people who danger others either physically or mentally but the guidelines for avoiding them are illogical and enforced haphazard by ynvetted men.

  Shunning is and was blackmail.

  he said elder school emphasized 2 years and the existing body will be the leaders through persecution and tribulation.

  I don't believe Lett is a jovial old fool, quite the opposite.

  Trump wins

  by gavindlt in

  2. bible

  i am non political and have never voted but nonetheless i have been keenly watching to see how the trump presidential race unfolds.

  i believe that his involvement in propelling or influencing a leaning toward bible prophecy will unfold.

  how, i can’t say but something tells me that this anomaly and outlier being trump is highly signifiant!

  What is Your Favorite WT Lie?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.

  surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.

  my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.

  I overheard a comment on wifes zoom; "there won't be electricity or satellites or internet but jehovah will make it work". I wonder if it was a dig from a pimo.

  Why do most Ex jW W‘s seem to be liberal?

  by JaredScott-1977 in

  1. social
  2. current

  i’m just curious about this dynamic i don’t care personally one way or the other but i do have friends who have chosen to be conservatives and they get totally destroyed on social media pages for their choice.

  it’s almost like a lot of ex jw w become as toxic and his judgmental as jehovah’s witnesses themselves what’s up with that?

  i also know conservative ex jw’s that can do the same so again i’m not leaning one way or the other i’m just noticing factual observations.

  Woops. Previous was intended for thepresident thread.

  Neighborhoods tend to draw alike. The local lower income congregation here is typical innercity. My friend who lives on 5 acres in the rural has red acting people in his congregation.
