  by ThinkerBelle in

  2. beliefs

  i am trying to find the ridiculous beliefs jw had on the use of a binky or pacifier.

  i did a search, but can't find it, i know others have referenced it on here.

  i'm trying to share with my husband; we're talking about the stupid doctrines they came up with in the early years.. thanks!.

  I know my wife was told over and over and over that my Manhood could not be used as a binki. So started many years of bad sex.

  What Will Take Away The Reins Of Power From This Delusional Bunch Of Governing Body Saints?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  will it be the complete and utter mismanagement of child abuse issues due to a total disregard for children and not wanting to bringing reproach upon corporate jehovah's name?.

  or will it be some other thing?

  i strongly think the governing body's days as g. o. d. are numbered due to their complete incompetence to rule a corporation, brought on by a big and getting bigger shadow, and a persistent denial of anything negative about their corporation's claims to be god's earthly organization.

  november 2018 study wt

  by days of future passed in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i always get curious when someone posts an article from the wt.

  so i end up going there to look around at the whole article and find other things that are curiouser and couriouser.. certainly, god’s thinking is superior to that of today’s world.

  living by his thoughts will bring us the greatest happiness and success.

  But Jehovah will not force his thinking on us. “The faithful and discreet slave” does not exercise control over the thoughts of individuals, and neither do the elders.

  Not they just hold a gun to our heads and say, well do what you want but...
  

  Some movies and books promote the “me first” and “family first” philosophies, making them seem reasonable, appealing, even right.

  Our movies promote a GIVE me every last penny and hour you got until you life is a complete waste.

  November 2018 Watchtower study....attacking weak members, their personalities, and apostates

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower society always attempts to disprove or discredit valid arguments or statements by criticizing the ability of individuals to think, reason, ask tough questions and make their own decisions!

  if they can't logically attack the message, they attack the messenger!!

  the name calling of apostates or anyone who doesn't agree with all the wtbts flip-flops ( the light gets brighter) never stops!

  The rome branch is outside of rome proper, takes forever to get a bus to take you there.

  It is a big property, but not sure what its worth.

  At 1.4% growth the last 2 years, it's safe to say, jw.org and cart witnessing is an abject failure!

  so much for jehovah blessing this new arrangement.

  they are barely keeping up with the birthrate!

  so basically the org spent millions of dollars on their website and broadcasting so the only growth they are still getting comes from born ins and illiterate and superstitious folks from africa.

  Absolutely and completely predictable.

  Even as an IN ELDER, I was very concerned at the changes that I was seeing.

  1. Get rid of the book study? - How will MSs get trained to be Elders and teachers?

  2. The continued cutting of teaching parts on the Service Meeting and School.

  3. Shortening Public talks (though that was a blessing because 95% of speakers were incoherent.

  4. Then all the big changes to the meetings which GUTTED any semblance of training anyone on how to speak in public.

  It was OBVIOUS that teaching was not a priority, nor was converting anyone.

  How do any of you make friends?
  I find it hard to find anything to bond over.
  Conversations about family and my past are hard to have.
  No one can really understand.
  

  I work from home, so its hard to meet people, I have kids that need lots of time, I live month to month because I didnt plan for the future (of course), and I am loosing my wife who I helped find out the TATT.

  Life seems bleak.

  Jehovah's Witnesses including its leaders are in the business of lying

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ......endeavored to create an image of the organization which they are a identifying part of.. when you think about this religious organization and most its social ideological expressions are expressed through lying.

  its doctrines are lies and not supported by the bible.. the leaders intentionally twisted doctrines to enhance the proliferation of the literature the wts published, which were a false theology through their interpretation of the bible.

  the proclamation that jws are generally good wholesome living honest people.. there is constant endeavor by the people involved to hold up a pretentious veil of honest righteousness identifying the organization and its adherent followers.

  Finkelstein - one thought.

  Its doctrines are lies and not supported by the bible.

  ALL christian religion is based on the bible supported just as well.
  The is so unspecific that anyone can make it say whatever they want it to say.

  babygirl I have had the same experience.

  I have so many photos mostly from when my kids were born on.

  I get sad that that entire life is gone. I dont miss the cult, but its hard not to miss the "family" that came with it. I am very alone these days.

  I find it hard to make new friends, and I dont have the opportunity to meet many people.

  I am on the back 9 of of life, so its not like starting over. More like picking up the last few pieces.

  Sorry for the rambling.

  For the 2 years or so I was a PIMO and an elder, and giving talks at conventions, it was excruciating.

  I would have to come home and have a scotch after every meeting.

  Active JW's: If asked, can you explain/defend this belief?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as all jw's and awakened ex-jw's know, the very existence of the religion is dependent on people's belief that the "holy trinity" of the wtbts, the ccojw, and the governing body (aka the organization) were personally selected by god/christ.. 1) mr. rutherford claimed that this divine choosing occurred circa 1919, and that all anointed members were personally chosen by god/christ to be the faithful slave.

  2) in 2013 this long-held, "profound scriptural truth" was discarded by apostates in brooklyn (the present-day governing body) when they personally decided that only gb members were chosen by god/christ to be the faithful slave.

  (wt july 2013, p.22, par.

  I recently asked a JW who is still my friend (only one left) to answer 3 questions using the bible and the bible only.

  1. Show me a 1st century governing body that has a similar structure as we have today.

  2. Show me how 1914 was an important year.

  3. Show me clear proof for Overlapping Generations.

  He could not.
