  Would you trust your Doctor if he got things wrong??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  just thinking..... assume we had a family doctor that we had seen all our lives, perhaps he had been the doctor for your extended family too.

  he is lovely man, very kind and honest hearted.. but if he had prescribed treatment or medication that was wrong, and had bad effects on you, then changed the medication to something else, then randomly changed it again etc, how would you feel?.

  if you did some research into him, and found disturbing facts and things in his history that made you question his qualifications, how would you feel?

  I love your illustration, StuckinaRut2!

  Realllllly, really, really, really..... we would not trust that Doctor!

  Heck, I wouldn't even trust the hairdresser!

  But somehow, somehow...... they still trust the BORG!

  Yes, Pete Zahut!

  Isn't it amazing that the Bible seems to be a one way street with Witnesses?

  After all "the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.
  Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear!"

  I agree with JWleaks, good point. Please, Serena, speak out.

  If Serena wins, and "Jehovah helps her" what does it mean if "He" doesn't "help the children?"

  Tennis is more important?

  Message from Trey Bundy, investigative reporter for the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR)

  by AndersonsInfo in

  today we're launching disfellowshipped, a three-episode story about the jehovah's witnesses' practice of shunning, told in virtual reality.. we designed disfellowshipped to be an immersive experience, best viewed with a vr headset.

  (you can find several affordable models on amazon.

  ) but you can also watch it on most newer smartphones and desktops in 360-degree flat video, without a headset.

  (To choose a story, and there are three, just use your mouse to grab a hold of the screen, and move the title of the story you want to line up & center with the little red circle in the middle. That selects and starts the story)

  I chose the story, "Inside the investigation" and used my mouse to look around. It's like using Google maps where you grab onto the screen, and pull it to where you want to go. You can do this on Trey's desktop. You can swirl around, look at his computer screen, or grab and swirl over to look at the books sitting on his desk, or look up, and see Trey talking...

  Check out the titles of the books Trey has piled up on his desk!

  lol, cha ching!

  The Canadians did an excellent job, being very frank, getting to the root of the problem, they are quite frank in their assessment of the situation.

  The details are great, but it's too late for me to elaborate. Please watch all four of these videos, it sounds like Canada is upset over this situation, and they aren't holding back!

  Awesome!

  just doing research and came across this.. i know this is old however.

  here we have a worldly organisation distributing pamphlets and warning parents about child abuse.. last point in particular.

  3) inform the child that what happened is against the law and that it is necessary to report it to the police so that it will not happen again.. pretty straight forward if you ask me.. watchtower were happy to use that in their magazine.

  They- the WT- does occasionally have "campaigns"... to "reach out" and "help people come back into the truth" to satisfy their conscience that they have "done all they can" and "now you know how nice and loving they are.'

  I would not be outspoken to them... just blah, blah, blah them along. and disappear. Give them nothing... yes, it can be used against you to get you DF'd, disassociated, and then separated from your fam', maybe -as JWdaughter said- to keep you out of the will.... as NOWadays, "you can give everything to the Society when you die, and their lawyers will help you write your will for free!

  Take care, be careful!

  devil question

  2. beliefs

  i had a discussion with 4 jws today and they told me that jesus could not be tempted, ( they say that he would not be perfect if he could) but also they told me that satan tempted jesus in the wilderness.. can anyone clarify their beliefs please.

  i like to give them a reasoned argument when i talk to them, but have never noticed this conflict of ideas before..

  Divergent: 2 Corinthians 10:13 — God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.

  I was constantly "conundrummed" by the teachings of the WT.

  Looking back, looking at articles previously written, you see both views presented as possible at the same time. Brain surge!!!

  Another example from a WT study, condensed & simplified:

  "Ann doesn't talk to her mom because Ann's mom is disfellowshipped, Ann is sweet, Ann is loyal"

  10 paragraphs later:

  "John, in Japan, became a JW, his parents are mean, they won't talk to him, he persevered, now they DO talk to him, he was loyal"

  These are not the exact words, but basically, it boils down to that, and the WT writes two conflicting views like that alllllll the time.
