  The "Final solution" Watchtower style.

  by Norm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the final solution watchtower style.. we have been told on this board lately that the watchtower society preach the good news and that is one of the good things that set them apart from christendom.

  people who call the watchtower society message good news has hopefully never really given much thought to what is going to happen if their good news should become reality.

  let us investigate what these good news is all about.. the 22. may, 1999 issue of awake!

  I see little good left in WTS

  by Amazing in

  you said, "so would it be wrong to accept the fact that the wts, despite its flaws, has many good scriptural truths to share.".

  i think most of us accept that the wts has done some good, but as the years pass, i find that the good i thought they did is getting less and less, and more importantly, the harm caused is getting greater than i could possibly imagine.. you continued, "can we reject what they have pressed to the world: god has a name, his kingdom is to solve mans problems, the earth is to become a paradise as god purposed, man will live endlessly on earth as intended, those who died will return in a resurrection of the dead rather that burn in hell, and this good news is to be preached in all the earth.".

  at this point in my life, after 25 years of being a jw and now an ex-jw, i find their message, its very root concepts, pure fantasy that may not necessarily god's will.

  Hi amazing,
  Great post!!
  Hi Ahah
  I loved your response. I have similar feelings.
  I ;ve always felt religion keeps many in a sort of denial.....the connection is what we make of it,and our lives.
  Once we've put aside myth,superstition,we can honestly face ourselves and our mortality. Once this is faced and accepted,one realizes how important it is to make each day count,hopefully to enrich others as ourselves along the journey.
  We are the universe,its within all of us. Tina

  In there no good in the WTBTS??? or ourselves??

  we hopefully all agree it is wrong to reject an entire race because we have found one of its member to be flawed, or to reject an entire concept an the basis of finding a flaw in its argument.

  would not fair people look for a way to accept the good in the concept, modify the flawed portion and rejoice in what was gained from the refined concept?

  it would also be wrong, as the wt does, to reject an entire institution because some of its precepts are flawed.

  Normie,
  It's not scriptural,you said. So then why is tracking needed?
  And do you deny that these field service numbers are pivotal to ones position in a cong.?
  Aren't these numbers used to classify who is 'strong' and who is weak? Is this how Jesus said one would know his brothers?
  WHo made this up? Men did. What did Jesus say about the commands of men.
  Who created the class system of pioneers,publishers,CO's,DO.etc....this isn't scriptural,but created by men.
  What does it say in the bible about those who add or subtract to/from the scriptures......
  Think about who you're actually following...tina

  Normie,
  where is it written that this work(which is unscriptural to begin with) must be timed and tracked? Where is this format commanded in the bible? Tina
