JW Organization is occasionally spirit-guided! Here is the proof!

by exWTslave in

please follow the sequence of events connected with a bethel and see what you can conclude!.

1) when brach committee took a decision like a money-minded corporation, a conscientious bethelite (who is my close friend) wrote to the gb.. 2) gb took the bc into task, and directed bc to reverse its decision in that particular case.. 3) in time bc took revenge on the bethelite and removed his bethel-eldership on fabricated charges.. 4) gb withdraws the very arrangement of bethel eldership from all its branches!.

5) after one year, bc felt that their revenge was neutralized because of the unexpected withdrawal of bethel-eldership itself, again fabricated charges with the help of false witnesses and dismissed and disfellowshipped that bethelite.. 6) after two years the two bc members who orchestrated all the above events were sent out of bethel in great dishonor, virtually into wilderness ordinary publishers!.

WT is like any other corporate environment: sharks and piranhas can and do turn on each other quite frequently. It's the nature of the game- when you put a bunch of arrogant, self-serving a**holes in a group, large or small, and the water gets bloodied, there's a continual cycle of purgings, alliances and executions as each jockeys for position.

And if they tattoo it on their butt, where it belongs, will the eldubs have to see it to approve it?

Only if it's on an Elder's ass....it will be inspected by the wannabe ministerial servant or new elder hopeful who's already down there kissing it.

It probably won't be too long before WT makes one exception that allows tattoos- if a JW wants to get "JW.Org" tattooed on their forehead, WT will call it part of their 'sacred service'.

Today's "gay-bashing" and other embarrassing content public talk!

by stuckinarut2 in

oh wow..... the public talk today is certainly embarrassing for witnesses!.

started (completely left field too...seemed to come out of nowhere) with condemning homosexuality, and anyone who even tolerates it.

if you like tv shows or movies with gay characters, you are "just as bad" (eg modern family tv show).

AndDontCallMeShirley

This site makes so much more sense the the wt!

Mad magazine makes more sense than the WT.

Redhorse Woman: If those men were homosexuals, why would Lot even bother to offer his virgin daughters

Because apparently even flaming homosexuals cannot resist a woman who doinks her dad.

Used the comparison of the way that a violent person can change their violent ways using biblical principles, so too can a "homosexual" person change their ways using biblical principles...

LOL

Jehovahs Witnesses and New Light

by smiddy in

charles taze russell was chosen by god jehovah to reveal to mankind the way to salvation in this time of the end.. charles taze russell embarks on a public speaking program that takes him all over the world with him giving lectures in many countrys .. my question to jehovahs witnesses : was that holy spirit , inspired revelations that he gave ?

was that new light from jehovah ?

new truths ?.

If history operated under the same mindset as WT, it would exclaim that when people thought the earth was flat and the Sun revolved around it, they were absolutely correct. The modern view that the earth is a sphere and, in fact, the earth revolves around the Sun, does not nullify the old view but is merely an "adjustment" (new light) of the previous view. Both views are true, and proof that no matter how much things change, humans were right all along.

@ CG: John a Brown started this nonsence with his end of the gentile times chart, so why isn't he included in god like status of Rutherford and Russell?

Do plagiarists ever acknowledge the source they've stolen from?

Transfusing blood is NOT eating blood

by Rufus T. Firefly in

jw
friends

watchtowers official view:.

you also ask why one can be disfellowshipped for taking a blood transfusion but not for taking blood fractions.

while both may affect the life of an individual, the expression "life-sustaining" in connection with blood transfusions is synonymous with the idea of taking in food for nourishment.

AndDontCallMeShirley

The other important factor to look at is the source of WT's argument that a transfusion constitutes the "eating" of blood. W 4-15-85, p.13, quotes WT's source: Frenchman Denys...of the 17th century!

WT cannot find a single modern authority to support its view, so it does the classic WT move of finding any source from any century, no matter the level of ignorance of that century, as validation of the legitimacy of its stance.
