  Witnesses: Why The 1/19/14 WT Lesson Is Dangerous

  by Apognophos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's watchtower lesson touched on the history of hezekiah's reign, and then made a surprising modern-day application.

  having used my time before the meeting to research the underlying material instead of highlighting my magazine, i personally found this to be an upsetting study, and decided to put this warning here in the hopes that some active witnesses read it.. the most important thing i want to say to you is that the actual flow of events in this bible account were severely misrepresented, and that there are some disturbing implications in the distortions that were made.

  1. hezekiah's father ahaz makes himself a vassal to assyria out of fear of their overwhelming might (2 kings 16:7, 8).. 2. upon becoming king, hezekiah rebels against assyria (2 kings 18:7).

  so.... i went out all day today... just wanted to get away from the sh!tstorm that was created yesterday.

  anyways... i come home like an hour ago, and my dad told me that mom called my aunties in central america and told them stuff about me, and also she told the elders of her hall... the elders want to meet with me, but i think that it will be at my house.

  i am curious about your ideas about:.

  BlackSheep-- I hear you and definitely agree with you. The reason why I say he should leave home asap is bc it seems that none of what's taking place is on his timetable. Maybe if he were to go and be his own man in his own space he won't have to worry about mom or the elders constantly hounding him. I don't know, just a thought. I do like what jgnat and others suggest about how he should talk to.his mom. Im not advocating movng out so that he can avoid the situation. All I'm saying is that he could slow things down by moving out.

  Post Traumatic Apostate Syndrome or (The Little Box of Madness)

  what tools does a duped person have?

  intellectual damage is done once you are indoctrinated.. your emotional ties to your "spiritual family" form a bias to free thinking.. .

  why should you make your life better by first making it worse?.

  MOVE OUT! You've stalled for too long. Just leave! And continue with your family ties still intact and your ILTTATT self intact!

  I know from experience that it still takes courage to act even if we are being forced to act by the other party. I had to move out of my house -- with 2 kids, 2 dogs, and 13 years worth of history-- in less than 30 days. It seems like you really have no other choice but to move.Wouldn't that quiet things down immensely? Stop dragging your feet and take the type of action that the situation requires. Please, just get out!

  Much sympathy to you. You can do it. You sound smart, focused, passionate, and dedicated. Good luck!

  will this wake any jw's up to how they have more in common with other sects than they believe?.

  "From a human standpoint, we will never say that we have the right religion or that someone else has it, but we will go to the Bible, share what the Bible has to say and we'll leave it up to the individual to determine who has the truth."

  Brian Alexander lied about WTBTS/JW position on who they believe has "the truth."

  "We will never say..."? Someone, prove him wrong using WT literature against him.

  Why report on such a scenewithout doing more of an investigation into thesereligions/ cults for thearticle? He painted a picture, but provided no analysis. Not a useful article for the public at all.

  And they get lumped with a bunch of weirdos!

  Inaccurate hours recorded

  2. friends

  ignoring the fact that all but the super jw's had a random stab at hours done in the ministry, with all the different activities the society said counted as ministry hours, just how accurate is there annual report?.

  what activities do you know of that were allowed to be counted as ministry time?

  here are some i knew of.... .

  Reading Captives of a Concept: Interesting what i read in CH3

  by DS211 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  surely jesus would have noticed what they had been teaching about his second coming, or invisible presence as they prefer to call it.

  matthew 24:3 37 .

  today they teach that he returned to begin his second coming in 1914. but the proclaimers book explains that this was not what they were teaching before, during and for many years after jesus' inspection in 1918-1919. on pages 46 and 47 it explains that in 1876... .

  Terrible question, but..... should she have gotten the transplant knowing that death was very likely in case of rejection of the organ without a blood transfusion?

  They really had no right to sue the doctors. Their hands were needlessly tied behind their backs.
