Glaring Mistake In RNWT And Todays WT

by piztjw in

todays' wt had this sentence in one of the paragraphs....we know this because each of their individual names are indelibly written upon the 12 foundation stones of the heavenly new jerusalem.rev.

21:14.. the cross reference lists judas iscariot as one of the twelve.

so with one breath they have said judas was cursed as jesus betrayer, and yet in their rnwt they still cross reference him in the list of the twelve named foundation stones of nj.

Why not include Judas Iscariot as one of the 12 foundations stones? He was faithful for a while wasn't he? So the word "faithful", like so many other WTBTS words, can have have whatever meaning the WTBTS says it should have! Same with some of the Bible books. King Solomon proved to be an "apostate" of gigantic proportions, yet the Bible books that HE wrote (under inspiration?) are part of; "all scripture....inspired of God and beneficial". WTBTS explaination is that Solomon wrote HIS books while he was still 'faithful'. (banging 700 concubines and hundreds of wives...'faithful' to what?) So using that line of reasoning, maybe Judas Iscariot's name was engraved on the stone while he was still 'faithful'. Just saying!

Just watched a documentary that made me yearn for the JWs again

by marmot in

well, almost.

i just watched the documentary "dirty wars" on netflix and it left me so emotionally overwhelmed that i watched it a second time back-to-back.

it's unreal how cynical this left me feeling about obama and the us government's global war on terror, it's so bleak that i almost wished for the simple life of being a jw with the naive promise of big daddy jehovah coming to sweep away all the wickedness at armageddon.. watch this movie!.

We all want life, liberty, freedom and happiness. And there are about 35,000 (man made) religions out there that have the "Way" to all the things we all want. Just pick one that make you feel good and go for it! Or better yet let your parents pick it for you and devote your entire youth to it. You will feel better in the end right? Just saying!

So have any of you seen this site?

i apologize if i am double posting about this..

eyeuse2badub

Absolutely inspiring to think that our brothers are so dedicated to the WTBTS! It is so moving that I wept bitterly as did Peter when he betrayed Jesus. Thsi satire is not that far removed from fact. I was part of a JC in which a married sister committed adultery. One of the elders asked her if she "enjoyed" the sexual intercourse or did she reach a climax? Wow! That was the 'climax' of my JC experiences. Just saying!

Why not use the same advice for the use of medicinal marijuana

by I_love_Jeff in

watchtower states: "moderation in all things is a bible principle".

why not use the same advice for the use of medicinal marijuana?

drugs- http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101989223.

eyeuse2badub

Da org only uses the negative info so as to support it's "doctrinal" dogma, which we all know. So in the case of medical marijuana, the "nu-lite" is that if one uses only 'fractions' of the plant, it's ok. But it's a df'ing matter if you accept 'whole' marijuana. Also, while one can accept 'fractions' of the marijuana plant to improve one's life, it is a df'ing matter if one donates 'whole' marijuana to another suffering person! Just saying.....

Just out of curiosity, how many elders (current & ex) do we have here?

by mrquik in

jw
friends

me.

eyeuse2badub

No apologies from me for being an elder. I admit that I was duped into thinking it was a "privilege". I never 'voted' to DF anyone during my 15 years as an elder. I always used the scriptures at John 7:53-8:11 with my fellow elders to show how forgiving Christians should be. WOW! the WTBTS eliminated those scriptures from their new Silver Bible! O well, I guess I won't "reach out" for the "privilege" of being an elder again!

Why are there no black angels?

by snare&racket in

jw
friends

jw literature is racist as hell.

jesus looks like an american folk singer, the governing body look like a corrupt version of an enron luncheon.. the jw's literally print different magazines for africa with african pictures, black people instead of white, to make it 'more appealing' to them.... just to be clear that means they think the opposite is true too!.

....and then there is the lack of black angels..... .

eyeuse2badub

Let's be real honest! WTBTS is a 'white man's' religion that due to "God's" (FDS's) undeserved kindness made room in their hearts to "accept" the downtrodden people of color! Took over 125 years for a man of color to to become a member of the elite GB. Being 'Politically Correct' is very important to the WTBTS these days. The latest 'new release" illustrates my point. When the new Silver Bible came out, it was only in English (white man's language).

The Foolish 'Two Witness" Concept

by metatron in

jw
friends

it seems, if i am interpreting the documents correctly, that many in the organization might reject good forensic evidence of a crime just because there aren't two or more (human) witnesses to back it up.. a quick look at the watchtower concordance reveals that all sorts of things can act as a 'witness' - such as a pile of rocks.. in john, jesus claimed that 'his works' acted as a witness.. actually, forensic evidence can offer more accurate 'testimony' than humans and is often superior.

in any case, this 'two witness' stuff is rubbish, even from a biblical point of view.

things can be a witness.. .

eyeuse2badub

According to NWT at Revelation 11:3,4, Olive Trees and Lampstands can also be the 2 witnesses.

3 "And I will cause my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days dressed in sackcloth.” 4 These are [symbolized by] the two olive treesand the two lampstands and are standing before the Lord of the earth".

Harold Camping is Dead. Who now will issue Judgement Day predictions?

by PaintedToeNail in

jw
friends

so, harold camping has died at the age of 92. no more end of the world predictions from him.

he apparently went into hiding after his last predictions didn't come true..

eyeuse2badub

Harold may be dead but there are 8 guys in Brooklyn that will no doubt come up with a "nu-lite" date for the big "A". The date will 'be implied' not actually stated per se! Just saying!
