  The Governing Body - their own worst enemy!

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been giving some thought recently to what's going on in the minds of the individual governing body members, and what makes them tick.

  the process of listening to their talks for my "getting to know you" youtube video series, though draining, has been very enlightening.

  i now feel i know some of their individual personalities a little better than i did previously.. then there has been the tumultuous events of 2012. it's been interesting to note the way the governing body has responded to some of these issues, and how in most cases their responses have been woefully inadequate or even counter-productive as regards their long-term interests.. for example:.

  I dont care whether he smoked or spat - Crisis of Conscience was one of the most courageous works undertaken by a cult member ... esp. considering his upbringing.

  The rest is background noise...I never knew him, but I will always love Ray!

  ...and he had much better dress sense than his uncle who looks like a bacca chewin' bible slingin' cowboy in this photo...

  A wife's submission

  by Mark_C in

  i'm relatively new to the faith, and struggle with many concepts and teachings.

  i am getting married soon.

  part of the teaching i've experienced is that a wife must learn submission to her husband.

  TBH in all the years I was a Witness, and all the congregations I served in, I never saw a man who was truly head...outside of the KH anyways.

  THE GOOD NEWS WILL BE POSTED LATER TODAY!!!!!

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a video will be posted later today where all the mysteries of god, the disgusting thing causing desolation, all the contradictions in the bible, why god in the old testament seemed so cruel, why was satan created if god is good, how is god love?

  all of the prophecies jesus had foretold which were hidden and lost yet being fullfilled the entire time.

  this is the good news that will then spread worldwide, and then the end will come.

  bro do brown payne told the audience of today's sa day at natick mass.

  that "many brothers compromised their neutrality by voting in 2008".

  he followed that by asking "and what has this president done for you?

  ...and what I got from The Watchtower after decades of cash donations, building halls, door knocking, giving talks and other unpaid services in slavery to the FDS is, "Nuttin Honey!"

  How many non-believers on the inside

  by biblecheck in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it's taken me about 7 years after leaving the watchtower, to become actively involved within the exjw communities.

  as part of this i created a couple of videos to, hopefully, help some others.

  but what amazed me was the number of people who have pm'd me via youtube who are still active members of the watchtower - who know it's not the truth - but haven't left.

This is not a critism as I know that are lots of reasons why people don't or feel they can't leave.

  Now I am wondering what the estimates would be as to how many inside the congregations are non-believers, and how many of those non-believers are actively working as a group to expose the Watchtower...? Would anyone have a handle on the guesstimates - is it in the thousands ?

  Do You Ever Doubt Your Efforts Are Futile?

  by Elephant in

  2. beliefs

  ...hello folks.... ...i've read countless of posts, ideas, opinions, etc here and i'm interested in your response.... ...there is a whole gamut of feelings here from individuals that are simply annoyed with the wt organization, to those that come off as hellbent on putting the org out of comission.... ...others yet seem to have made it their mission in life to eradicate the concept of god himself.... ...to any of these, what is your motivation?

  and do you ever doubt that these efforts are futile?

  do you feel that you posses the power/ability/means to change the convictions/faiths of the masses?

  Nothing I do now is a waste of time, when compared to the thousands of hours of my life that I threw away preaching what I thought was Truth, but found out through taking the time to carefully research the WT's history, it was all a bunch of complete BS. I discovered I was spreading something that had no solid basis - a complete fairy tale. After two years of intensive research the sad reality dawned on me that I may as well have been telling people that Noddy was going to return and rebuild ToyTown ... here's a video outlining just one of the many lies I had preached to people for decades...
