Calling Out Jehovah's Witness Leaders for a violation of NEUTRALITY

by TerryWalstrom in

_______________by the time 1967 arrived, my religious leaders in the kingdom hall had taken me aside and given me the straight dope.the vietnam war and the draft created existential problems for young jehovah's witness males.

the governing body was unusually silent (in public) about issues of this nature except to pontificate in print in the most general terms.

jw's didn't fight in wars because we were neutral.

That's a long way of saying that the WT is full of --it.

How Do You Feel About Trump's Tuff Talk To Korea To Make Korea Behave?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i know or think i know that trump is bluffing and acting very bully like with threats of unleashing his power as commander and chief a military with super weapons.

but why bluff with such boyish stupidity?

i think mr trumps barginings skills are at an all time low and so the threats of violence and retaliation for misbehaving according to the whims of a narcissist.. my confidence in him is at an all time low, talk about cave man club you over the head approach to problems this guy takes the cake.

Jehovah's Witnesses are Actual Witnesses to the Lies and Corruption of the Watchtower Corporation

by Finkelstein in

bold statement to make is it not but when one critically examines and evaluates of what the jws members are involved and participating in, it becomes clear to what is going on in this organization that has a publishing house operating at it's core.. the descriptive words such as exploitation and manipulation can be clearly seen and observed.

jws are supposed to be witnesses to the events which occurred starting in 1914, christ's positioning himself upon his heavenly throne marking the start of the end times " this generation ".. the real truth to all these endeavors by this religious publishing house is it created doctrines on it's own to enhance the continuing proliferation of its own published literature, at the same time establishing a semblance of power to the top directors of the organization.. there is no scriptural support toward these doctrines such as 1914, actually making or calculating a date is against jesus's own instructions handed down into preaching of his gospel.

so what we have is a religious publishing house brainwashing people into thinking their serving god jehovah when in actually they are serving the decidedly corrupt watchtower corporation, its means and purpose by the men who created it and now run it.

Do you feel comfortable being an apostate?

by Chook in

i always found it uncomfortable to informal witness to people but trying to convince a jw to jump ship brings much more pleasure..

scratchme1010

I am not part of them, I don't follow their rules, I don't use their terminology, I have nothing to do with who they are, what they teach, nor do I care to follow anything they say or do. Therefore, I can't care less about the term apostate.

I am comfortable with myself and my life, for what I care, the WT can kiss my ass.

2017 Convention Recording: JWs Applaud 10yo Girl For Shunning Her Own Sister

by pale.emperor in

this poor girl was baptized at 9yo.

.

she isnt old enough to buy alcohol, to vote, to decide her own medical treatment, to buy a pet, to travel alone... yet she was deemed old enough to dedicate her life to a religion that will cut her off from her family if she ever leaves.. here she is applauded for shunning her own sister who tried to keep in contact with her after waking up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yzgnfda8ki.

I couldn't watch the whole thing, but I get the point. Yes, that video brings some of my most sad memories. And to think that once upon a time that's how I myself was featured many times.

The "Jesus is Michael" teaching soon to go?

by Island Man in

could the teaching that jesus is michael the archangel, be soon to be discarded?

first of all, watchtower is big on image and this is one of those teachings that paint the jw religion as being rather kooky and heretical.

secondly, this teaching is not an original watchtower teaching but one they inherited from their second adventist ancestry.

scratchme1010

Jesus is in fact Michael.
