  What Should Have Been Their "Surname" or "Last Name"?

  by titch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok, folks, so here's my question.

  now then, assuming that you believe that there was an actual first man and a first woman, as the bible propounds, that had the name of "adam" and "eve" (as we have called them, in the english language) well, what do you think that their surname or last name would have been, or should have been?

  that is, if they had surnames way back then, in the so-called "beginning" of human existence?

  Does the Watchtower/JW Organization Regard its Readers & JWs as Fools and are they Secretly Laughing at Them?

  by Disillusioned JW in

  does the watchtower/jw organization regard its readers & jws as fools and are they secretly laughing at them?

  for some examples consider the following.. the wt literature has many times used odd language where they say one thing but word it in such a way as to suggest something else.

  they have said that a number of jws drew incorrect expectations about a number of things, including about 1914 and 1975, though it was the wt itself which proclaimed and taught those expectations in the wt's literature to jws.

  People who have being coerced and lured into being these men's subjective obedient slaves may not be consider fools wholeheartedly because these men see these people as a valuable and usable commodity to be exploited and manipulated to their own benefit.

  From an outsiders viewpoint these people are fools knowing whats going on in this controlled social arrangement.

  The whole game is played out in a power structure where the GB men, the most spiritual powerful within the organization, are at the top controlling everything down.

  Never expect anyone to solve a problem when their livelihood depends on that problem existing

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  imagine you were a leader of a "gender equality" group started as part of the 'metoo' movement?.

  now fast-forward and you're the one trying to discredit victims who have come forward with accusations.

  but not they are accusations against someone you work for.. it's a perfect example of how activists so often end up unwittingly (or quite intentionally) perpetuating the very problem they claim to be against.

  Because they are hypocrites or their position, power and /

  or income depend upon that problem existing.

  Cant help thinking about the specific lawyers the WTS/JWorg. use in their many pedophile law suits .

  JWS are apostate false Christians due to their adherence to the doctrines made by the Watchtower.

  Come judgement day Jesus will say to all JWS, I don't know you, you are devoted followers of men and their words, not followers of my words.

  One has to put question to the fact that WTS/JWS has hundreds of millions $$$ strewn around the world, from the many branches, so why are they asking for more money and why are trying to persuade JWS children to give up their candy money ?

  Sick retarded bastards !

  goodbye old friend; someday we'll meet again ….

  the ghost with the fine china cups.

  my last memory of her… a friend from long ago.. julie was a startling beauty, a blue-eyed, natural blonde; a model, guitar player, a singer with glowing purity of tone, a talented writer, and possessed of a wicked sense of humor.. she was too young to be dating and yet she was a natural flirt.

  I have come across some long time still in JWS who unfortunately bought into the shenanigans and deceptions by the WTS. who aren't doing so well. mostly associated with poverty and health issues, things they were told they wouldn't have to deal with by the WTS leaders.

  What amazes me most is how tight a grip on the minds of ordinary people using fear keeps the GB safe from a simple Google search.
  

  It works unfortunately upon the key word at hand "Fear"

  The WTS heads have imprinted the holding aspect of fear in that you have to obey everything they say or announce through doctrine, a psychological vise that's not easy to let go once its there.

  You had it as well as myself once so we know what its like.

  So they wont allow you to become an elder Bola since you've been reinstated

  ........pity

  Maybe they wont because you come to ex-jws (apostate) wed sites asking pertinent questions about JWS activity ?

  " We don't like to talk about money in the last days of this system ?

  There you go implying fear and coercion, if you give Jah will be happy toward you, a indication of your personal devotion to kingdom interest

  Oh by the way the money you give doesn't go to the pleasure and use of are own personal lives, like the swimming pools and tennis courts you see at Bethel HQs

  Sad that she couldn't get that medical problem repaired in her growing elder years.

  US healthcare system sucks, no wonder people/politicians have tried to revise it.

  I have wondered a few times whatever happened or became of those JWS teenagers I grew up with.

  We are now in are 60's
