Out of context

i’m just curious to hear other people’s input on different scriptures or quotes from the society or witnesses that are used out of context.

i’ve always found it funny when a scripture is quoted and applied to whatever point they’re trying to make, but where it was taken from in the bible passage has nothing to do with what they’re getting at..

Did you actually read the bible end to end?
by Ultimate Axiom in
1. watchtower
2. bible
in my ten years as a witness i never read the whole bible end to end, what with four magazines a month, the book study, meetings and talk preparations, there just wasn’t the time.

i knew all the important references to ‘prove’ the various jw doctrines, and the cherry picked chapters that help foster the idea that it’s a good book, but that’s not reading it.

well after nearly forty years out, i decided i would do it.

You Don't Have to Tell the Elders Anything!

2. friends
if you were ever brought before a judicial committee, and were about to be interrogated by the elders, just remember...you owe them nothing.

they are mere men and no better than you!

even if it wasn’t a judicial interrogation , you should never feel obligated to them.

the year 1914 would be disappointing.

perhaps even more so than the great disappointment which happened some 70 years earlier at the hands of a a baptist preacher, william miller.

it placed target years of 1843 -- 1844 on the map of popularity.

New cart for cart witnessing.

i can’t show a pic because it was posted by a friend pimi on face book.

but the pic was of a 3 wheel bike with a cart styled front and then in the back a basket but on the sides below the seat a plaque with the website on it.

it’s really sad that the cult is using 100 year old technology to try and recruit people because modern ways of advertising either costs money or will expose them to ridicule and the members are clueless.
