When are the blessings coming to the WTS?
by TTWSYF in
1. social
2. entertainment
when the lord is pleased with your work, he blesses your efforts.. about 8 million jws and that hasn't changed in years?

.

if the wts is the mouthpiece of the lord, then wouldn't there be some signs and wonders?.

The blessings are 'invisible' and 'overlapping'.

What is a generation? Matthew 1:17 is pretty clear to me
by pleaseresearch in
1. watchtower
2. bible
so we have this ridiculous teaching of an overlapping generation, something the bible clearly does not teach.

if this has been mentioned before i apologize.

but it's interesting that at the start of matthew we go through the genealogy of jesus.

It's like the serious trouble that many big name politicians get themselves into. It's not the original LIE that causes the trouble to get so serious, it's the "cover up" that exacerbates the problem!
When you fu*k up just admit it, ask forgiveness (people forget real soon) and then move on. Lying to "cover up" just keeps the controversy going!

l was wondering if others have noticed this or is just my imagination?my sister whom has always been a fine example of a dub just got married to an outsider was a shock to everyone as no one knew she was dating an outsider.she seems happy.the elders are to shit scared of her to approach her about the matter.

They are 'forbidden' to marry any 'brother' who is over 23 and is not a MS or Tony will be pissed! When jesus' brother speaks, jw women listen! yea right!

I'm with you bro! Every sane, logical, reasonable person on earth knows that a human generation covers a relatively short period of time.
It's the same way I have always felt about the 144,000 being shoved down our throats as a literal number when every other number in revelation is symbolic. lol
Bullsh*t comes in many flavors!

This week's resurrection video, will it backfire on the wt?
by prologos in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!

--well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.

a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.

My grandma, who was born in 1898, believed she would never die cause Russell led her to believe that falsehood! My mom, who was born in 1918, believed she would never die cause her mom, Rutherford, Franz, and Knorr taught her to believe that falsehood. She taught her 5 children the same bullsh*t and unfortunately, 3 of them still believe it. Resurrection is a "pie in the sky" teaching that keeps the carrot out in front of the donkeys.
It's the final 'fall back' teaching that if all else fails. No Armageddon to deliver us, no miraculously being saved by jehober from some horrific disease, no shielding from an untimely fatal accident, or from 'natural' causes and you die. BUT, there's always the resurrection fantasy to save their asses!

Coordinator for the elder body
by truth doubter in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i was recently told that circit overseers must give up the position at age 70. is that true and if so, does the coordinator have to give up his position at age 70 also?

Anyone on the "payroll" that can't give 150% has to go before they become a liability! Cept for the 'fat cats' at the very top. They're in for life!

Confused: What does the overlapping generation really mean?
by MicaSmith in
1. watchtower
2. bible
can someone help me understand how the wt came up with the overlapping generation theory?

i just don't understand it even though i read the information several times.

it's bewildering.
eyeuse2badub

Or as the old expression goes; "If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bullsh*t".

Why is it ok for witnesses to go to Church backed hospitals?
by stuckinarut2 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
if witnesses should "get out of babylon the great" then why is it ok to go into hospitals that have been set up, and have funding from churches?.

isnt that a little contradictory or hypocritical?.
eyeuse2badub

Just as a side note on "giving" blood. When a jw goes to a doctor's office, medical lab, or hospital to have several vials of blood drawn/taken for the purpose of testing for diseases or other certain medical conditions, isn't that "donating" blood? It's certainly not being 'poured out' on the ground!
Isn't that blood being used to prolong a persons life?
Hypocritical!
I've asked my 'still-in' lovely wife this question many times.

Yes hypocritical stance that the wtbts takes on so many issues is what drove me 'out' of the borg.
Dubs will accept blood "fractions" (wink, wink), to save their life, from the donated blood of worldlings, but will not donate blood that could possibly save another's life!
They accept and even demand all kinds of government aid,(welfare, unemployment, disability, social services, etc.) but criticize the 'worldly' governments as satan's tool! lol
They demand religious freedom but do not practice it inside the borg!
They practice little to no charity work and frown on those dubs that dare volunteer to help in a soup kitchen,beach clean up, or animal rescue when they should be out in service! lol
No birthdays because that heaps too much praise on an individual but wedding anniversary parties are great fun! lol
Get out of Babylon the Great but it's ok to be a NGO in the UN.
Anyone else want to add to the list?
