The Multilocational Jesus

by Smiles in

if jesus is now so superpowerful that he can exist at multiple locations simultaneously (e.g., dwelling inside of a true believer and popping into all the best gatherings of two or more peeps in his name) why does jesus bother hiring angels to work gigs?

The growing threat to Christianity will come swiftly by laws established by Gay senators

A bigger threat to WT will come swiftly by closeted gay WT elites.

2. Rating Convention Speakers

The trifecta assigned to perform this "review" has always been an absurd protocol...

Two of the three reviews will often give high marks to the other one, and vice versa.

When 1 of the 3 is being reviewed, he must step out of the room while the other two grade him. When he reenters the room he can freely look at the remarks & grade given to his speaking ability.

That creates an environment where the three reviewers become a good ol' boy team which often exchange inflated high marks among themselves and for their prefered pals... deliberately and repeatedly downgrading legitimately skilled speakers.

The grades are then forwarded to the circuit overseer who, in most cases, accepts the gradings without a question, then uses those gradings to distribute speaking assignments at the assembly/convention level.

This is one reason why you will see many of the same incumbent speakers at every convention/assembly... because of this flawed grading process.

(and the grading scale is literally: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, etc.)

Holy spirit at work

Do you think the JW's ever will or could go the Mormon route?

what i mean is the mormon's have their own set of wacky beliefs and are a pretty insular group, engage in a form of door to door ministry but don't discourage higher education.

in fact, the handful of mormons i went to school with were pushed to excel academically and go to college.

yeah there are ex mormons but for a great many, going to university doesn't turn them into atheists.

True, but religious mammonism is still greed, regardless of net worth.

LDS enjoys greater monetary prosperity than WT because LDS is:

Pro university acedemics/athletics (BYU & numerous other edu affiliations)
Pro commerce
Pro childbearing
Pro tithing (@ 10% ?)

WT discourages all of the above, and is therefore:

less wealthy
less likeable
less intelligent
less membership

Regardless, both LDS & WT are contemptibly wacky worship systems.

CEO Jesus should be ashamed of the entire lot.

If that is true, LDS corporate will simply payroll more people into membership.

Remember, LDS also controls BYU...

WT would dry up long before LDS or BYU sink.

LDS is a massive multinational religion (and financial stockholder)

Mormons "baptise the dead", thereby further bumping their numbers.

That is why Mormons hoard genealogy records, using the names and birth dates to symbolically "baptise the dead" posthumously.

Very likely they have baptised some of your deceased kinsfolk; if so, Mormons will "undue" a said baptism only by official request of a surviving relative.

Wacky stuff.

If JWs educated their new learners about the full extent of baptismal related expectations and ramifications, how many would promptly discontinue exploration of WT/JW... Many to most would frightened away.

Must maintain attractive appearances, and gaslighting.
