  No 2014 JW Yearbook (Yet as of 1-6-14)

  by pixel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for me is very strange that the yearbook for 2014 is not out yet on the internet and/or gongregations.

  is strange to me because it is a book that comes annually, and no word yet from the borg of it.

  you don't expect something like that from the wt/fds/gb to be dlayed that much.. it makes me wonder, what's going on???

  thanks to all of the friends here at jwn who commented and encouraged me on my 1st and 2nd post.

  it was pointed out that my 1st post was on page 5 of the recent elders thread and that i should properly introduce myself with a new thread.

  the lightgrowsbrighter name is somewhat of play on words.

  Do as we say, not as we do

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i like to collect admirable quotes from watchtower publications that i can then use back on jws to demonstrate their double standards.

  for example, this appeared in the awake!, august 22, 1984, page 28;.

  the catholic church occupies a very significant position in the world and claims to be the way of salvation for hundreds of millions of people.

  Is this what you are looking for?

  Look Out for “the Trickery of Men”

  The apostle Paul also warned against “the trickery of men.” (Ephesians 4:14) He encountered “deceitful workers” who pretended to present the truth but who actually distorted it. (2 Corinthians 11:12-15) To attain their objectives, such men may resort to a selective use of evidence, emotionally loaded language, misleading half -truths, devious innuendo, and even outright lies.

  Propagandists often use a word like “sect” to stigmatize others. In a recommendation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, a suggestion was made that authorities who investigate new religious groups “would be well advised to forgo using this term.” Why? It was felt that the word “cult” had an excessively negative connotation. In a similar way, Greek intellectuals wrongly charged that the apostle Paul was a “chatterer,” or “seed picker.” This was to imply that he was nothing more than an idle babbler, someone who picked up and repeated only scraps of knowledge. Actually, Paul “was declaring the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.”—Acts 17:18; footnote.

  Do the techniques of propagandists work? Yes. They have been a major factor in creating ethnic and religious hatreds by distorting people’s perceptions of other nations or religions. Many have used them to marginalize unpopular minorities. Adolf Hitler used such methods effectively when he portrayed the Jews and others as “degenerate,” “evil,” and a “threat” to the State. Never allow this kind of trickery to poison your thinking.—Acts 28:19-22.
