  How the Watchtower Screws Up Your View of Scripture

  by CalebInFloroda in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  while i do not argue the stand of atheism (because as a jew i find it totally logical and acceptable), i have noticed that there are odd carryover preconceptions about scripture that some hold as axiomatic about the bible (at least the hebrew texts), misconceptions that have nothing to do with the jewish scriptures themselves.. so regardless of what you may think of scripture, whether you believe it is of g-d or not, i thought some of you might enjoy a reference to see how much the watchtower teaching on scripture might still be influencing the conclusions you are making today...at least about the tanakh.

  jews read their texts acknowledging the following:.

  1. no scriptural concept of original sin.

  I wrote to the managers of the Raymond Franz site where the pdf's in several languages are sold and they told me that Commentary Press had promised them that they would undertake the printing of hard copies but have never fulfilled their promise

  www.raymondfranz.fr/index.php?language=EN

  Here's what they said:

  Hello,
  Several years ago Commentary Press promised to sell new printed books of Crisis of Conscience. But since Ray and his wife are dead, they seem no to accomplish this promise
  Waiting for this hypothetic day, the only way to get this book is to download a copy.

  Apparently it was not as important who was right but who was loyal to the organization.

  That's insanity. Loyalty to what you know to be true should be paramount.

  breaking news from co!!

  according to a reliable source, the co in my area says that jws may have been hearing the phrase, "final push" being used.

  what sage advice did this shepherd, duke, and "star" of revelation have to say?

  getting out of this high control group, often with no family support, and learning how to navigate a new world is incredibly hard.

  many of you have done so with roaring success, and become nondogmatic, kind and compassionate.

  thanks to all of you for your support and love over the years.

  I'm just trying to help you see where I'm coming from and why I had a desire to join people who I thought was less materialistic and cared more about humanity.

  I can think of a hundred groups that do this far better and with a thousand times more sincerity then JW's.

  They help no one, they feed no one, they clothe no one, they provide charity and care or financial assistance to no one. The truth is they care for no one save themselves and even that they do very poorly.
