  (hopefully, it's locked down now to admin-approval only as well as secret?)

  For the record, it IS now locked down to admin-approval only for adding new members, and it IS secret.

  I've noticed a strange phenomenon happening at my home:

  For the last 6 weeks or so, we've had witnesses on our doorstep at LEAST twice a week. Not sure what's happening or why they are so persistent.

  Never once before this time have I had them in my neighbourhood. And not once have we given them a moment of time when they've knocked.

  I'm starting to think maybe I have "Watchtower Pheromones" LOL

  Questions Regarding the New Light on the FDS

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's my understanding that the old light regarding the faithful and discreet slave was that in 1918-1919 jesus appointed the faithful and discreet slave over all his house.. but under the new light, it's a two-stage process.. now the "truth" is that in 1919 jesus appointed the governing body to provide spiritual food in due season and the gb will only be placed in authority over his domestics during the great tribulation.. all of this is wt nonsense, but in order to get jws who believe this stuff to think about the implications, my questions are:.

  1. what will the future appointment authorize the governing body to do that is not yet authorized?.

  2. since under the old light the governing body has wrongly believed they have had this authority since 1919, doesn't this mean they have been wrongly exercising authority that jesus hasn't yet given them?.

  Sorry for my ignorant "Worldly" opinion here, but as I just read this *eloquent* description (please note sarcasm) of the "New Light", I believe I may have thrown up a little in my mouth.

  I can smell the Cog/Dis fires burning strong....

  Ugh!

  while you were sitting in that uncomfortable folding chair the other night.... listening to something you've heard already a thousand times before.... do you know what was happening at the same time?.

  somebody somewhere else was studying a real textbook.

  YES!

  Lost, I took my daughter to see it yesterday (actually posted on an earlier thread about this very subject!)

  I couldn't help but feel like the story was VERY familiar as well!

  The tale of living in "the dark" because of fear Resonated very loudly for me. A very good movie, and my five year old liked it too!

  How many ways....

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ... can you name that the wts hurts people?.

  two big ones for me:.

  it pushes people to the edge and when they commit suicide they say: "well he wasn't really a jw anyways soit has nothing to do with us".. it pushes people so much to do more and more and more that they get depressed, and physically sick.

  I took my 5 yr old daughter to see the Disney movie "The Croods" yesterday. For me it was like art imitating life.

  The movie is about a family of Cave people who are SO afraid of leaving their cave, for fear of what might be out in the world, all of the big bad things that will hurt them - that they stay holed up in the dark for days and weeks on end, only coming out into the light when they absolutely HAVE to for food.

  When they finally are forced to venture out of the cave and into the light, they are amazed to figure out that they had not been LIVING at all, but merely existing.

  Fear rules all from what I have seen from the Watchtower Society. Living under such an immense shadow of fear is life crippling in so many ways.

  Will AAWA Become another cult?

  by His Excellency in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  please sorry for english, i have only been learning for 18 months.

  everyone please think about it, and beware of any initiative designed to solve "a community problem".

  becasue russel also started his own cult on a similar premise like this , claiming to have all the answers to issues whose solutions seems obscured to the majority in his days, and here we are today, constantly bashing our fingers on the keyboard in a bid to finding comfort from the mess he had put all of us into.
