  GB and Moses—an interesting similarity!

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  moses is the symbol of divorcing anyone who acts smarter and exhibits sharper spiritual insight.

  his wife, zipporah, daughter of a pagan midianite priest (exodus 2.15-22), was more spiritual and had keener spiritual insight than moses.

  on one occasion she averted a disaster by acting promptly (by performing the act of circumcision on their son) thus saving moses from being killed by jehovah’s angel which ultimately helped the israelites’ exodus from egypt.

  Moses "supposedly" wrote the first five books of the Bible approximately 2,000 years after the creation of Adam .

  {Maybe nobody knew how to write during those first 2,000 years} .

  Jesus never wrote anything down at all .?

  { You can speculate all you want here }

  The Governing Body / WTB&TS / Jehovah`s Witnesses / I.B.S.A. have been prolific in their writings these past 140 or so years flooding the western Christian world with their literature and having virtually no impact on non Christian lands at all.

  So they have really only preached to about a third of the earths population ,so that means at least two thirds of the worlds population have never heard of Jehovah`s Witnesses or Gods Kingdom.

  And after this 140 or so years the vast majority of all that has been published by this religious organization over all these years has been discarded as "old light" and not believed or preached anymore .

  In other words.. they were .. WRONG .

  WRONG.... a word that Jehovah`s Witnesses have great difficulty saying or admitting too that they were WRONG .

  As slim says I would like to hear the talk for myself, if it was true surely someone would have it ?

  Somebody else mentioned on Reddit that they had the same talk too at another Assembly ?

  So I`ll wait and see.

  Solar panel government scam...we are doomed global warming Armagedon!!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we got solar panels after the promise it will slash our bills 70% turns out that was true 6 years ago when my uncle got it the government was paying people for solar power.

  well i just got a letter telling me they slashed the rebate again to 9 cents which means my $5000 investment in solar will take 6 years just to get my money back!

  what a scam my uncles older contract means he pays no power bills for the last 10 years while the new deal screws us totally!

  Ain`t that the truth , ALL governments move the goal posts to screw the average worker and make sure the Govt. and those that prop them up reap the reward.

  I feel for you Bro.

  Not posted for a year because mum died did not want blood.

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i posted here weekly until a year ago when my mum died of a mild form of lukemia which is easy to treat with 2 blood tranfusions a month.

  you can live to 100 with treatment, but no my mum chose to die a faithful witness after 2 years of chemo and hell for her family and doctors.

  her chemo doctor cried when she only had weeks left to live knowing that she could be saved with one bag of blood!

  Sheesh Witness 007 what can I say except I`m so sorry you had to go through this as you so rightfully say "what a waste" of life .

  My heart goes out to you my friend in your sorrow. Its criminal that Jehovah`s Witness Governing Body can get away with these sort of Doctrines and go unpunished .

  They are truly Bloodguilty....The trouble is I don`t believe their is a God to mete out punishment and the Authorities are certainly not doing anything about it .

  My condolences to you and your family.

  So sad.

  I suppose it would be too insensitive to have posters and pictures of all who have died as a result of following their medical advice over the years such as no blood ,no organ transplants ,no jabs against diseases ,etc,etc.

  you do have to admit that some of Jehovah's Witnesses literature is very useful the aid to Bible Understanding especially

  Are you aware that "Aid To Bible Understanding " admits that Jehovah is not the correct pronunciation of Gods name ?

  That it is more likely according to modern scholars to sound something more like Yahweh ?

  Are you also aware that the Tetragramaton the four hebrew letters or their equivalent letters in Greek do not appear in the Christian Greek Scriptures ? the New testament ?

  So the name Jehovah should not appear in the new Testament according to the WTB&TS publication KI

  Are you also aware that nowhere in the Christian Greek Scriptures /New Testament are Christians charged to be witnesses of Jehovah ,not one scripture says they should be ,not one

  However their are something like 20? or so scriptures that charge Christians to be witnesses to Jesus ,20 or more .

  Jesus never used The name of God

  The Apostles never used the name of God

  The disciples never used the name of God

  However all two of them ,the Apostles ,and the Disciples used the name Jesus and witnessed about him and none of them witnessed about Jehovah

  A ridiculous thing I found in the old young people’s book

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was in some book for young people that i found going through the watchtower library when i was doing research for old publications, i cannot believe this lunacy, i feel so bad for the teenagers at the time who had to try to take this seriously, but they’re not a high control religion or cult though, anyways here is is : .

  if you sleep in a room alone and you find that you seem to feel special stress in this direction at night, you may be able to arrange matters to share a room with another member of your family.

  also, you may find it helpful to sleep on your side rather than on your back or face down.. 18 another thing that may be helpful is to see to it that your clothing does not unnecessarily cause friction with the sexual organs.

  Is that "Questions Young People Ask " book ? if it is I have a question that young people should ask that is not in the book .

  And this is strictly from the males perspective and I would be very interested if females have a similar problem that is not so obvious.?

  Its a physical thing that never seems to get spoken about or addressed from any quarter and from what I see no answer for .

  So here is the question .

  If God Jehovah created humans why do males from INFANCY get erections that they have no control over .?

  Children pre puberty who have no idea what their Penus is for except to pee out of and have no idea of sex or procreation and yet get erections for no apparent reason.

  And this happens from infancy ,so if God created man why would this be so ?

  They are not thinking of sex ,girls or women and have no idea why it occurs and it does so randomly out of the blue for no reason at all .

  That is a question that should have been in that book

  Pardon my ignorance but do females have anything like that experience pre-puberty from infancy ?

  Don`t laugh I`m serious,

  If onlythey had the same attitude towards sex offenders

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can’t speak for everyone, but in my experience my whole life as a witness, people, mainly woman , were speaken of very poorly for “commiting fornication”.

  and everyone was so repulsed by women who wore “revealing” clothes, always saying, “women wear things like that, or let their daughters go out like that, and then wonder why their raped.” which makes me want to throw up.

  if you even got in trouble for a groping session, you were the talk of gossip for weeks, maybe for years if some had it in for you.

  I feel your frustration Addison0998 most J.W`.s let the G.B. do their thinking for them and one day they will regret it.

  The world is now becoming more tuned to the extent of sexual abuse against minors in the Jehovah`s Witness organization than ever before and the cover up by Elders to protect Jehovah`s name .

  In one Country after another Country .

  Justice is SLOW in coming however it is coming against the WTB&TS , and not before time.

  Is JW.Org News anymore up to date than "Awake Watching The World" I certainly hope so though I don`t think it would be any less biased and selective in their "news"

  I`m pretty sure the flood of News Articles ,Print ,TV, and on line that are coming soon is going to overwhelm the organization that they will have to go into damage control that I personally do not think they will emerge unscathed from .

  Sure they will still exist as a religion but nothing like they have been in the past .

  Their glory days have long gone .
