  The March 1, 1952 Watchtower says, "Go back... and Die!"

  "those who are acquainted with the situation in the congregation should never say hello or goodbye to him.

  he is not welcome in our midst, we avoid him.

  such an individual has no place in the clean organization or congregation of god.

  It's okay, Londo. WT does it all the time and god loves them more than anyone else!

  Next time just put in a "[ ]" and a "..." and you're golden. LOL.

  Spliced or not, the article says what it says- the meaning and intent are the same.

  Imitate the Faith of Moses Study Article

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the study article imitate the faith of moses study article, is the same old blah that they always have.

  moses, a guy who lived 4000 years ago, did.

  something when he was 40 years old when he was in egypt and when he was in the wilderness at the burning bush, an angel communicated with him.. .

  Is this the same Moses that happily committed genocides at yahweh's bidding?

  .

  Maybe WT mistakenly printed this as a study article when what they really meant to do is make it a BOE Letter outlining how to treat the R&F.

  In true WT fashion, what it formerly condemned as "pagan" and "unscriptural" when another religion does it, WT now embraces the same exact thing and calls it "scriptural" and 'direction from god'. Note the scriptures WT says the CC misapplies to justify disfellowshipping- they are the very same scriptures WT uses now to justify it:

  Awake: The propagandist makes sure that his message appears to be the right and moral one and that it gives you a sense of importance and
  belonging if you follow it. You are one of the smart ones, you are not alone

  .

  compare to:

  "But Jehovah's servants already belong to the only organization that will survive the end of this wicked system of things." Watchtower 2007 Dec 15 p.14

  "But if we were to draw away from Jehovah's organization, there would be no place else to go for salvation and true joy." Watchtower 1993 Sep 15 p.22

  .

  Awake: "So we need to be selective. We need to scrutinize whatever is presented to us, deciding what to accept and what to reject."

  Compare to:

  • "At that time, the direction that you receive from Jehovah’s organization may seem strange or unusual. But all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether we agree with them or not, because obeying these instructions will save our lives." (W 11-15-13)

  The Books are Cooked: Grossly Misleading chart and graphic

  by Tech49 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  are the charts and number graphics you see in the wt and awake articles factual?

  or are they misleading?.

  many have already discussed how verses, quotes, and facts are cherry-picked to fit a particular situation.. i came across another blatant misrepresentation of facts, in a grossly misleading chart-graphic.

  @ Tech49: Apparently, G-Hovah doesnt like Turkey as much as the rest of us

  especially at "pagan" holiday times, like Thanksgiving...

  You can bet you won't read about that experience anywhere in Dub literature

  .

  There's not much room left after they run stories about the one GB member that just died....

  You see, in WT Land it's not how many JWs die that's important...it's only who died that counts....

  ---

  Somehow I doubt the last words they said to themselves before drowning were, "Listen, obey and be blessed", or, "at least we followed the WTs orders to cross flooding rivers to get to the convention, " whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not. "

  Drama: Not ONE word has failed! Regional Convention 2014

  looks like the borg spent all it's money on hd panels, gigabit internet connections and ipads cause this is by far the lamest and most stupid drama ever in the history of the org!.

  apart from the worse than porn-without-the-porn acting and dialogue, the special effects consist of square painted panels and a crappy blue screen.

  also the lighting looks like it was made using flashlights.. even the die hards we're laughing at it and mentioned how silly it looked.. i envy all of those that aren't attending this "historic 100-years-since-christ's-reign" convention.. .

  New Scrolls (Revelation 20:12)

  .

  Another WT lie in plain sight. Read the scripture, then tell me where it says "new".

  I did this little exercise with a JW and they stood there like a monkey doing a math problem. Totally confused, trying to correlate what they just read with what they've been told their entire life.

  I don't really speak Spanish, but all I could hear in the audio is, "grande pendejo WT Consejo de administración".

  (rough translation: the WT GB are big a**holes).
