  Gross hypocrisy in September 15, 2015 Watchtower

  by Island Man in

  ask any jw the question "why do jehovah's witnesses impose their views on others?

  we do not impose our views on anyone!".

  do you impose your views on others?

  "....The couple had a right to choose for themselves whether they would follow a certain diet and take the supplements, but was it reasonable to put the unity of the congregation at risk over health care? For a time, Christians in ancient Rome had differing opinions with regard to eating certain foods and observing certain days. What advice did Paul give them? Regarding the latter, he said: “One man judges one day as above another; another judges one day the same as all others; let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.” It was important not to put a stumbling block before others.—

  
  What is interesting to me, are the two contradictory statements the WT always uses......

  "Choose for yourselves... don't stumble others"

  Bottom line? Don't choose for yourself, choose for others.
  

  Cognitive dissonance at it's finest, Right?

  went to a market yesterday and there it was a cart manned by a middle-aged women and a young one.

  in a really respectful, friendly manner i approached them and enquired if watchtower society had done anything about its "two witness policy" post royal commission.

  knew nothing of 2 witness rule.

  2. experiences

  two sisters did a magazine demo recently.

  one used her tablet to show a scripture to the other one.

  the second one said: "that looks easier than trying to find it in a book.".

  Right on, Divergent! I always said, "what difference does it make where you read the scripture from, it says the same thing!!!" It drove me crazy... Sooooo glad I do not have to try and figure this insane type of reasoning out anymore!

  welcome to warwick safety orientation!

  each warwick volunteer is required to view the entire three-hour program and complete the five short quizzes one week before arriving at warwick.

  to benefit fully from each of the five sections, we recommend that you set aside time in a quiet location with minimal distractions and give the program your full attention.

  Was Jesus a hypocrite?

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jesus spoke of loving your enemy, matt.5:43, luke 6:26, but look what is said in.

  mark 16:51,16 "go preach but who ever does not believe his ass will be set on fire".. i don't think that is good news.

  hell if that is love, what the hell is hate.

  Haha Nicolaou! Good one!

  I also was bother by the double standards of Jesus, and "us"...

  HE could get mad at the money changers, call them for what they were, but WE had to "turn the other cheek" when robbed and lied too by "our brothers" o/wise we weren't "Christ like"

  Awwweeesssooommneeee!!!!

  When we woke up, we wanted to"do it on our own..." ONLY the Society's literature.. We didn't want to be accused of "being apostate" (haha)...

  As we learned... It doesn't matter which way you find out "the truth"... Right?

  Give him his space, when he opens up more, he will soon come to you!

  Congratulations! cha ching!

  At 15 minutes into the video, Tyler asks the elder about "the two greatest commandments" and how he would show love. An exchange definitely worth watching... True colors revealed.
  

  Tyler asks great questions, and the best part of it is, Tyler cannot be intimidated by the threat of "disfellowshipping" or "shunning". He can be open, honest, sincere and the elder can do nothing to him.

  I also like the fact that he interviews the neighbors, the woman is a sweetheart, and also the man who built and designed their home. Nice folks, quite a different story than what the COBE told.

  It is a great perspective on how "the world" views this type of "neighborly love."
