What is the biggest problem with the JWS religion or the Watchtower Corporation from a sociological and theological perspective ?

by Finkelstein in

many have spent years associated with jws religion and having eventually left it for numerous reasons but if you were to directly pinpoint a source of the problem with this religious organization what would it be ?.

in my personal viewpoint it would have be the core operation of literature proliferation and other products associated with the wts.

corporation.. once you think about it everything is focused around the operation of the wts publishing house, its distribution and circulation of its published goods.

They are manipulative liars whose sole purpose is to control every aspect of their members lives for their own egos and the power it gives them .

And they use religion as their tool to fool those that belong to their faith.

Narrow mindedness annoying

by Lost in the fog in

none of the brothers and sisters in indonesia were hurt or lost in the recent disaster, according to one of the friends who added "we were all praying for them as soon as we heard it on the news, as you do.

and what about the rest of the population?

i know its nothing new in their attitude to the world outside in general, but it makes me so angry!

Of course Jw`s would be concerned about their own family before anyone else , but as for caring about anyone else forget it , they are a part of Satan`s system of things that is going to be destroyed by Jesus at Armageddon so why would we care about them ?

Is the average JW sycophantic?

by stuckinarut2 in

was just pondering the mindset of the average jw.. would it be appropriate to think that many are sycophants?.

think of the way they act towards those they preach to.

or the way they act towards one another in the congregation - especially towards those taking the lead (elders).

I can see that many of the rank and File could be classed as sycophant`s , flatterers of the Governing Body and i`m pretty bloody sure that the Governing Body members are toads ,repulsive people who do not deserve such flattery .

true prophets. 110 years after 1914

by waton in

yes, even knowing the day and hour and minute.

2000 days from now, mid morning darkness will fall over the home states of wt inc of pennsylvania and jw headquarters in ny.

( closest call the former gilead school site).

And you can guarantee this will occur as stated at the due time and date

unlike the multitude of failed prophecies the GB of JW spews out.

Epiphany #2

by Solzhenitsyn in

so after much emotional struggle out into the open comes why my dear wife continues to want to stay with the wt organization.. i simply couldn't understand why someone so intelligent would suffer from such confusion wether to stay active or fade away when she has faced and accepted the anti-jw facts.

simply put: she was raised with such sick instability that jw life was the only thing that provided stability, the only thing she felt she could count on.

to this day this remains the primary reason she stays "in".

I would suggest you invest in Don Cameron`s book "Captives of A Concept" that uses the WT`s own publications to debunk the thought that they alone were chosen as God`s mouthpiece in the time of the end..

I will put this in my own words however D.Cameron does a much better job of it.

J.W.`s teach that Jehovah /Jesus chose the International Bible Students Association as the only true religion in 1919 as taught by Charles Taze Russell and they were the faithful and Discreet slave Class to dispense spiritual food at the proper time.

Now think about this : Nothing C.T.Russell taught up until his death is acknowledged as truth by the JW religion today .

So if Jehovah / Jesus accepted what C.T.Russell was teaching back then as truth in the Watchtower and put their stamp of approval on it as the" Truth" and the faithful and Discreet Slave Class .

And it is now not accepted as "Truth" by the current Governing Body it either means Jehovah / Jesus got it wrong back in 1919

or else,

The current Governing Body of Jehovah`s Witnesses are Apostates rejecting Jehovah / Jesus appointing the IBSA /Jehovah`s Witnesses as the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class in 1919 .

They cant have it both ways.

That`s just one example their are many more gems in his book.

If the Bible is truly the word of God then why are their so many different Translations ?

by smiddy3 in

not only are their different translations from different denominations ,like the greek orthodox ,russian orthodox ,roman catholic .various protestant versions and others as well as the nwt of jw`s.. however various denominations print different versions of the bible which fair enough may only be minor differences yet at the same time they are differences to what they previously printed .?.

and some have serious discrepancies .. as if they are trying to get to the true meaning of what god or jesus christ actually said or meant ?.

are they for real ?

The GB's modesty knows no bounds

by neat blue dog in

sarcasm intended obviously 🙄.

in the intro from the latest ezekiel book:.

as youread through its 22 chapters and meditate on thebeautiful illustrations found therein, you will beamazed at all the careful research that has goneinto its preparation.. they call themselves the faithful and discreet slave, but how discreet is it really to be constantly bragging about yourself?
