  Why doesn't the WT ever see it's self as "Wicked"?

  by Deputy Dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in luke 11:13 jesus refers to his beloved deciples as wicked.

  the wt (and most jws) see themselves as faithful and discreet.

  they are teaching people to be self-righteous arent they?.

  Because it's just like Jesus said, they try to remove the straw in everyone else's eyes, but do not see the 'rafter' in their own!

  I was telling my Cousin & her Elder husband about the 'Save Sparlock' website and they actually asked me

  "Who is Sparlock?"

  Are you kidding me?

  Did you see the new kid DVD from the past Summer DC?

  "Own it, saw it, still don't remember Sparlock."

  All I can say is WOW! JWDubs are really aware of what is going on around them, aren't they?

  probably not the first time this has happened, but the w13 5/15 at least twice made the same mistake that got moses killed by god.. p.8 par.

  " (rev 22:17).

  Discussion with family member who is an Elder in our congregation

  2. experiences

  so about a week ago, i showed my cousin & her husband [an elder in our congregation] the picture on pg 29 of our 4/15/2013 study wt and asked, "if jesus is head of the congregation then where is he?".

  after several minutes of searching, dead silence.. i then asked if they had heard the part on the 2012 summer district conv the part about "our spiritual mother, where the c.o said that "the bible by itself does not shine thru as life-giving truths just by itself.

  " they were shocked and said that i must have misheard it because that would be apostasy.

  Exactly Truthlover:

  They just don't see that the GB is elevating themselves above Christ. ALL authority was given him ,are they just trying to get some of that power for themselves?

  But JWdubs or Elders don't want to hear that it's wrong and goes against the bible. They just want to believe it and no one is suppose to dare to question it.
