  Who Was Stumbled By Wicked Congregation Participants? From Overseers To Rank-File.

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  ok, a thread began with members who found their way out by "company literature" or "apostate literature", but what about thoughtless to evil actions by happy and humble witnesses?.

  were most members caring, compassionate and lovings (john 13:33-35), which made coming to jwn diffucult, or did their conduct push you to seek anwsers here?

  i had a traveling overseer tell me, "i am so happy you are enduring the wicked actions lodged against you, keep up the good work!

  I had a Traveling Overseer tell me, "I am so happy you are enduring the wicked actions lodged against you, keep up the good work!" If he knew I was experiencing the actions from evil men, how come the Organization is either too limp or impotent to remove the source, their "power players?

  Do-Overs...What if you could have just one....What would it be? Why?

  as we grow older and have more life experience we have an advantage in looking at our life as a whole.. we can see things from more than one perspective.

  we can be wiser as our emotions cool.

  hindsight gives us the power to judge outcomes.. for example, i was thinking about a 20 year chunk of my life.

  The Watchtower elders are as capable as Job's three comforters, they were at their finest before they opened up their mouth. In ancient times it was very common for your friends to sit back and show solidarity in sack cloth and ashes. Job's friends screwed up once they opened their mouth, could they listen without making harsh judgements or speculated why "God has left you and how you can become God's friend again?"

  Job was absolute he was in the right, and nobody (even God) was going to prove him diferent. Job's friends were poor with soothing words, Job brings that up frequently "Oh how much help you troublesome people are!"!

  The Watchtower through elder's meetings has made it clear, we were not to become overly involved with "mental" ones! I am surprised the Org allowed this video, our CO was trying to get the message across, "depressed and inactive ones burn up to many resources, much better spent on highly product publishers and pioneers, and potentail recruits with mental illness", Sorry, that's the way it is!

  Hi Joe, this FGM has been going on for some time, the Awake Magazine helped bring this horrible practice into the light over a decade ago. Old Watchtower magazines might have mentioned it even earlier, it's a terrible practice and it's being done here in the United States in secret to young girls of Somali and other African descent. It's illegal, cruel and must be stopped, their thought is it keeps women chaste by removing their clitoris.

  We can give the Awake Kudos on this topic, they have been exposing it for a long time!

  What brings someone this ucked up to to JWN, is she the secret weapon the Watchtower Society has been promising to unveil against JWN? She is the "IRON DOME" defense system?

  1. 1200 MG SEROQUEL

  2. 40 MG LEXEPRO

  3. 2MG XANAX X3

  INJECTIONS OF HALDOL AS NEEDED, WITH ELECTRO SHOCK AS FREQUENT AS POSSIBLE.

  Please remove her belts, sharp objects, shoe strings from her sneakers, as we prepare her to be 51-50. The hospital has plenty of Vanilla pudding, Svenhard's Pastries and Hoagies Sandwiches and Shasta Sodas to remind her of the good old Assembly Food. If they do not get her soon, we are going into lock-down mode!

  Simple, yet telling explanation of why the Governing Body view themselves as ultimate. (With their own words)

  by MC RubberMallet in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in 1 corinthians 7, paul continuously makes plain that he was speaking his own opinion:.

  (1corinthians7:12-16)12 but to the others i say, yes, i, not the lord: if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and yet she is agreeable to dwelling with him, let him not leave her; 13 and a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and yet he is agreeable to dwelling with her, let her not leave her husband.

  14 for the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to [his] wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, your children would really be unclean, but now they are holy.

  smith-mandy, the Governing Body were not the "man behind the curtains", the Presidents, and corporation pulled all the levers. As Ray Franz said, the Governing Body (the dog) was wagged by the tail (the president and corp), the GB did not even have time to keep up with the "new light" they stamped as valid, Karl Adams was sending to the press!

  The GB spent more time debating how many ways their followers could be disfellowshiped, and how many invitations for free travel to anywhere around the World, they would have to decline. The GB spent almost no time doing Bible Scholar Research and the magazines and books show these statements by Ray Franz to be true.

  How can anyone with a brain, read the Bible and believe that Jesus Christ is the mediator for the Governing Body and a few members left on earth? These are lies left in the "dark pages" of the magazines not ready for public consumption.

  What would a Born Again householder say to you, if you said "Jesus Christ did not die for you! He is not your mediator, he is only the mediator of the Watchtower Society's annointed members and the Apostles of Bethel? They would kick your ass off their door and tell you to leave! Yelling "anti-Christ go away!"

  Were you afraid of "apostates"?

  i remember hearing rumblings of a few that had gone "apostate" and feeling absolute dread of the dark world they had stepped into.

  i would re-double my studying efforts.

  to me, "apostates" had gone over into the "dark side".

  Designs, did Greg Laurie really show up in Long Beach and Walter Martin too? I think I would enjoy talkiing with old Greg Laurie, he is based out of Riverside California now? I enjoy listening to some of his messages, my mind loves to learn like the rest of you all. The Watchtower Magazines with their "dumbing down process" has caused other friends to seek a more hearty meal, not watered down rice-milk prepared by the Unfaithful Slug. Preachers suchs as Chip Ingram, Ravi Zacharias (Walter Martin's pupil) Greg Laurie, Skip Hychek, Allister Begg are good listening material, they can be brutal on their listeners (not the ear tickling preachers the watchtower claims they are) for not behaving like a Xian.

  Of course I was terrified of the "ravenous wolves", "baby eating monsters", "Evil Slave beating up the Good Slave in the ring, like Mohammed Ali vs John Candy(WTS)" very often we had our liberty of thought taken from us.

  The old Witnesses warned us of the "old evil apostate who resided up the mountain top", he was the Red Barron of Witnesses, a knotch (Book Bag Shape) marked on his door of each Witness he stumbled :)
