  Jehovah provides guidance in the publications and in programs from the faithful slave!

  by stumbledbyothers in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this past weeks watchtower study, reminds us that jehovah provides guidance in the publications and in programs from faithful slave!

  now you hear from the platform that god has given us jw broadcasting and jw.org.

  lets see: thought wt says they have no special connection to god, nor special knowledge, they get no extra holy spirit, gods thoughts higher than mans???

  Don't they quote that verse, I feel like I heard it back when I attended meetings. How do they reinterpret that?

  Wow does that look nice. I thought somebody was taking a vow of poverty. Although at this point any Bethel with a few exceptions might be a sinking ship.

  What a weird ass note, God comes across like a dick. Gimme the problem and fuck off, and don't you dare think you got what it takes to solve it yourself. God the father indeed.

  Truth_b_known, couldn't of said it better myself.

  Submissive, huh? That's the crux of the whole thing, do what we say and don't think about it. We're telling you when you listen to us you listen to God, and that should be enough for you. Manipulative as hell.

  I don't know how to feel. On one hand, yeah, the Governing Body does cover up child sex abuse, people do die from refusing blood transfusions, and people do commit suicide when their family shuns them. That being said, at times the guy goes overboard. He said the Governing Body has covered up child sex abuse for 'centuries,' I get that it's an emotional moment and nerve-wracking but you got to get it right, like perfectly right if you're going to do something like that. I also don't like that he mixed legitimate criticism with religious criticism, like throwing in the whole Jesus says you should drink his blood, that makes him come across like another type of Christian instead of an activist. Although it was funny watching wine run down the attendance hand as he tried to take the cup away from him.

  And Tenacious, I posted a thread about that recently.

  Yeah, that's been true in my experience too. You say something they don't like and they sidetrack you, they never come back to your original point. If it's intentional, it's because they can't respond to your point and they don't want to admit it. They want to win.

  a criticism of the wt way is the practice of using 50 words when 10 would do.

  this is an example of an aged speaking style practised in the 1930s 1950's.

  just look at movies from that era, political speeches etc.

  so i went to the memorial the other night, there's a kingdom hall on the bus route back from a local college where i was doing some research and admiring the architecture.

  i'm in my street clothes, i look nice but i stood out like a sore thumb.

  i went in as it started and got a seat in the back.

  That makes sense, yeah, it's not like she consciously plotted in her head, it's just what she does but what she does comes down to seeing if I will obey.

  Stan livedeath, I was never in.
