  Reduce the size of your family!

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  the watchtower organization resists the idea that its workforce is comprised of employees.

  instead it promotes the idea that these individuals comprise a family.

  yet recently there is a directive that smacks a totalitarian tendency.

  What causes new light? Embarrassment, unsustainable doctrine, a desire to affirm FDS status or avoid liability??

  i am sure its a bit of all four.

  do you think they are embarrassed by old doctrines as time goes by that become ludicrous?

  (beth sarim 1925 resurrection).

  Since it's a man made religion , like all religions, different men have different ideas in order to establish their authority and legacy.

  Most important lesson from Daniel's Prophesy - "Do YOU recognize the "holy ones of the Supreme one?"

  by Zoos in

  ... not that they would ever toot their own horn.

  * * * daniel's prophesy, chap.17, par.3 * * *.

  have you found the holy ones of the supreme one, and are you associating with them?

  They are really a very humble bunch for sure. They refer to themselves as 'The Governing Body' (proper noun) not the governing body (common noun). I started noticing this change back in the 80's. However, they still refer to the (non existent) 1st century as the governing body as a common noun.

  Does it ever just hit you...It all may be a dream

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  that the paradise may or may not be real?

  that the things you have been taught for many years from the jehovah's witnesses may not really be as they say?

  has it really ever really hit you with that "pow" of reality ever?

  this was posted on fb.. so guys, i'm gonna share something with you all that i think you should know.

  i've only told two people about this (one being john cedars) for fear of getting this guy into trouble, but it's very telling and will reaffirm your "ttatt faith!

  a couple of weeks ago, i had to have an "ability to protect" assessment by a gentleman from a company that also investigates child protection policies etc.

  Any changes that are made by the wtbts, doctrine, meetings, contribution methods, they are all "loving provisions" from the FDS. I'm sure nothing else factors in.

  The Man With a Secretary's Inkhorn - who he, and does he wear flip-flops?

  by rory-ks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at the agm this year geoffrey jackson identified the "man with a secretary's inkhorn," of ezekiel chapter 9 as being jesus christ.

  this was declared an "adjustment" from the previous understanding that the organisation used to believe that this "man" was "the annointed.".

  has the society always taught that the "man with the secretary's inkhorn" was someone other than jesus - or is this a situation where back in the mists of time the bible students understood him to be jesus, and then rutherford (or someone) identified him as "the annointed," and now they have reverted back to their initial belief?.

  Yep, decades of repeatedly pounding into our heads who "the man with the secretary's inkhorn" is. In just and instant we should erase decades of indoctrination and "adjust" our view! No problem!

  "The Calendar of Jehovah God" - a historical tidbit

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in 1935, clayton woodworth (editor of the golden age - later the awake!

  magazine) devised a 'new' calendar that he proposed was far superior to the pagan calendars that have been used in human history.he wrote a three part series for the golden age (i am not sure if these were actually published) that laid out his justifications for how this new calendar was more accurate and of course, was right in line with the divine plan.

  the calendar was published in the 1935 yearbook, but the watchtower magazine later published a retraction to the calendar.

  Hard to believe that this calendar was too weird even for Rutherford and Freddy. They put out some very weird crap!

  What happened to shunning ?

  by cookiemaster in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  okay, so...i haven't been to the kingdumb hall since last spring but i like to believe i'm up to date with the jw ways.

  as most of you have heard many times already, my mother was disfellowshipped (actually they said he disassociated), for accepting blood transfusions in a life or death situation.

  right after coming from the hospital the elder said she da'd.

  Most dubs shun in public, but if it's some one close to them, many privately ignore the stupid shunning thing and associate in a clandestine manner.
