  How Could We Have Been So Heartless?

  by BluesBrother in

  2. beliefs

  i am addressing here those who, like me, spent decades in the organisation that we called “the truth”.

  perhaps like me you were brought up in it from an early age.

  looking back now i wonder that i could have been so heartless as to believe that the mass slaughter of billions of people was “good news”.

  Its worth mentioning that the WTS created a sociological appeal to be heartless and this goes along with people who were practicing JWS but sinned while actively attending.

  We had an elder in are Hall who committed adultery while he was married with three kids.

  It was well assumed he was remorseful and repented to his actions but the other elders Dfed him irregardless.
  

  The other elders Dfed publicly and the roomer of what he did got passed around within the congregation. The whole event was so stressful and huge toward the family they moved away to another town.

  That to me was heartless and cruel, not only to him but to the rest of his family.

  anyone else get a food box delivered by local congregation to your door - allegedly by the society?

  Bringing Reproach on Jehovah's Name

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  all my jw life i was reminded constantly about the importance of not bringing reproach on jehovah's name.

  decisions on whether or not to disfellowship an individual often turned, not on the seriousness of the sin, but on whether the incident was public knowledge and had resulted in bad publicity for the congregation.

  i recall a middle-aged lady being reported to the elders for shoplifting a sweet worth less than £1- and the elders' insistence that a judicial committee must be formed because the store manager and staff knew that she was a jw (i successfully argued that all she needed was support for her dreadful family life, but that's another story).

  Just wait for the next pedophile law suit against the WTS comes up in Australia and the news mentions the JWS wouldn't accept the National child abuse redress scheme.

  Talk about darkening the image of the JWS religion.

  What a stupid statement to make for one only has to read WT publications

  People are stupid and foolish to only read the WTS publications for they were corruptly devised and tainted with false teachings and prophecies.

  These men were at heart charlatans who were endeavored to create doctrines to attract attention to the literature they published, which also made them scripturaly sinning apostates like yourself Scholar.

  We can only witness to you the truth of these sins , accepting them is wholly upon you.

  You seemed to have skip over and be dismissive to the actual date/year of final destruction of Jerusalem which the WTS says it was 607 BCE. ???
  

  Is it because your starting to see the truth complied upon all the pertaining evidence ?

  The Secret of Life

  by Terry in

  my elementary school teacher, miss allen, gathered us in a circle just outside the classroom under overspreading limbs of a pecan tree.

  as she spoke, we all listened intently - the expression on her face seemed to say, "this is very important.".

  "sometimes life doesn't go so well and we feel afraid.

  Armageddon was my personal supernatural revenge fantasy.

  Your right Vidiot ,

  I think a lot of JWS thought on those same lines.

  The JWS religion is a model example of what people will do to save their own life when someone imposes the suggestion of death through jugdemnt.

  Its also a model of how to self empower oneself with that imposition of death.
  

  Indoctrinate people into thinking they are god's chosen organization that are above righteous than all other people living, Jewish or Christian, through extrapolating your own interpretation of the bible to meet your own endeavors and agenda .

  Then pose the suggestion that the almighty god is about to soon judge those who are righteous in his eyes and you can pretty much control people's conscious thoughts, awareness and behavior.

  To impose fear, guilt and obligation over people in a life and death situation is the making of a true religious cult, entrapping people intellectually and psychologically.

  .......and that is why we stayed being a JWS for the length of time as we did.

  Ironically this refusal by the WTS in Australia has brought reproach onto the organization in the public's eye.

  Quite agree there Unstuck
  

  The ARC investigation revealed there is problem with regarding child sexaul abuse within the JWS religion, not totally wide spread but when there was a incident the WTS intentionally tried to wash the matter over irresponsibly and untended.
  

  The WTS/JWorg as recently tried to use their own propaganda to assert there is no problem of this kind within their organization and attempted toward putting a white sheet over the matter.
  

  Times have changed and secular law authorities and governments are tracking down religoius institutions and non religious institutions as well, creating strong penalties to those who intentionally try to cover up these harmful and damaging circumstances toward children.

  I can only imagine how odious the name Jehovah has become in Australia.

  Good point Cofty
  

  Talk about bringing reproach onto Jehovah's name .

  Silly twits why didn't they just go long with the governmental laws and regulations.

  The JWS leaders (GB) implemented the two witness rule to these unlawful egregious matters in a underling intent of protecting the organization's public image or bring reproach onto Jehovah's chosen earthly organization..
