  My Breaking Point -- 11/9/14

  by game1914over in

  i have enjoyed reading your comments during the past four years.

  deep down inside, i have always been agnostic.

  the first few chapters in genesis are contradictory and differing.. no one has ever been able to answer my question: "why was satan ever created?".

  Game over but they are getting ready for the sequel. My wife said to me this morning how their is something that is causing all the young ones to leave but she could not pin point the problem. Just listen to Tony rant and anyone can understand...

  No mention of 100 years of kingdom rule at zone meeting

  i expected the streaming of such a large meeting to focus on 100 years of kingdom rule.

  not a single mention.

  instead more drivel about insignificant things like yoga pants.

  Attention AMIII! you need to read WATCH OUT FOR SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS- A WT you would never see today!

  by BU2B in

  i was reading an article from a '95 wt called "watch out for self righteousness" it exposes amiii as a true pharisee by their own definition.

  the style and content sound a lot like ray franz but it obviously was not.

  i am confident you would never see an article like this in todays wt land.

  Real good find, I will look it up. I wonder if the writer of this article is still a witness?

  These points condemns them:

  They appointed themselves judges and were prone to condemn anyone who did not meet their self-righteous standards. Their superior attitude and exaggerated self-esteem generated a need to control other people. Their inability to control Jesus enraged them, so they plotted his murder.—John 11:47-53.

  But some have distorted these guidelines or
  have added their own rules. In
  one area all students in the Theocratic Ministry School had to wear suits and
  button up their jackets when delivering a talk. A student who failed to do so
  would be disqualified from giving future talks.

  Extreme zeal can also deprive us of tact,
  empathy, and tenderness, which are vital in our dealings with others. A personmay work very hard to advance Kingdom interests. However, his extreme zeal may hurt people along the way.

  They hate anyone who shows love, understating, tenderness, empathy towards others and when a person stands up for what is right and proves to them they have no real power over them, they get enraged, and plot to cut them off with df’ing.

  These men in their position enjoy setting up rules and more rules and then distort their own rules. They truly hurt people with their extreme zeal and at the end have cold & hollow hearts.

  Governing Body sick of waiting! They want the paradise they were promised!

  by donuthole in

  this post is going to suggest that the governing body remains, as ray franz wrote, "captives of a concept".

  like every jehovah's witness they were raised with the belief that the the paradise would be here by now.

  unlike others, they are in a position to do something about.. why wait to rule over the earth?

  How does forum moderation work?

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  we've had a few comments lately that show that people don't seem to fully comprehend the way moderation works or the point of it.. if someone point something that other people don't like or agree with then that is a difference of opinion.

  live with it.. if someone posts something that is crude, insulting, contains bad language etc.

  then it violates the posting guildelines and can and should be removed.. now, sometimes we won't immediately notice a post that should be removed.

  Dealing with people is not an easy task. Just remember people, 'we are slaves of the words we say or type" so think twice before posting and we should all be fine.

  I never paid close attention to Tony's talks on youtube and this was the first time I got to hear a complete talk.

  This jerk would be a great drinking buddy with judge Rutherford. It seems that if you want to prosper and move up within the JW's the more you act like the judge, the more spiritual they consider you. On the other hand, the more you act like Jesus, the faster you get kicked out, go figure

  My messagew to my mother post "branch talk".

  by problemaddict 2 in

  my wife went out of curiosity.

  she is out enough to where it doesn't affect our marriage, but she keeps it a secret from her family and others.

  she is beginning to understand what it means to give over your thinking to an organization, and once she works that out there will be no going back.. so she went to the branch visit.
