  The Watchtower's Medical Expert

  by Lee Elder in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  a new article by s. sparrow, published today at ajwrb, investigates dr. joachim boldt, one of the watchtower's “bloodless medicine” experts.

  a notorious “medical pretender” who has exposed jw's to additional needless risk.

  watchtower continues to cite this source, and fails to expose him as a fraud.

  We need Orphan Crow to weigh in on this. As I recall, she is very familiar with this.

  we all know the moment that a nice family chat is moving to the propaganda game.. sister in law saying that jw.org is the highest ranked website, cousing saying that the new hq is energy neutral, aunt stating that jw have the best education.... what can we say on these moments?.

  that br splane just likes these new light ideas?.

  that a jw.org video stated that jw use the name jehovah because people recognize this name?.

  Learn the gentle art of changing the subject.
  

  Them: Blah blah, blah blah blah.

  You: That's interesting. Did you know ... ? [And then say something else. Anything else.]

  Repeat as necessary.

  nk is a national cult of personality.

  Fisherman: He is far for being a loon.

  You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  Simon: Trump "needs to make sure that Kim has a way out that saves face."

  And that's exactly the problem. Publicly calling out a bully leaves them no way to "save face."

  Someone needs to take Trump's phone away from him. The man has no understanding of human nature, how others feel or of what's at stake.

  FUJ: Yeah, too bad the US didn't have another Øbama as POsTUS. He could go bow to Kimmie offer an apology and everything would be unicorns and rainbows.

  Perfect example of B&W thinking, as if there were only the two options. And since the one that you presented, FUJ, is clearly ridiculous, then Trump's antagonistic tweets MUST be the correct response, right?

  No!

  This is exactly the problem: the failure to search for and find other options.

  I see the local members of the Cult of Trump have been quick about disliking any negative comments about their leader.

  That didn't take long.

  So predictable, but kind of proving our point.

  And unfortunately Trump is exactly the wrong person to de-escalate the situation.

  Two narcissistic "child-kings" with the emotional maturity and restraint of ill-behaved 12 year old boys.

  Just change the subject to something neutral. Keep doing it until you find something, anything, they can talk about non-JW related.

  Last Week's Watchtower had something that made people start questioning things?

  by silentbuddha in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just got a call from a friend who said that something in last weeks watchtower caused a number of people in various congregations to start questioning things, and several long time elders left.

  i am totally out of the loop but i do read things here and i heard of no such thing.. something to the effect that jw's and governing boobies are not inspired or something along those lines?.

  I just took a quick look and couldn't find anything in the study article for last week that touched on that. Maybe I missed it.

  But there was something along those lines in the February 2017 WT:

  • "The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction." - Watchtower, February 2017, page 26, paragraph 12

  But that was "studied" back in the week of April 24-30, 2017.
