  Today's WT

  by OneFingerSalute in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so today's wt seems to put out the idea that during early christian times it was god's hand that made the romans build roads, have strong laws, etc.

  to make the preaching easier.. anyone else notice that?

  some here really banged on about how great it was that god did that, just for them.

  @ Vidiot:

  The WTS has raised "having their cake and eating it too" to a f**king art form.

  You're right about that!

  I was at the meeting yesterday and I thought to myself: "They are talking out of both sides of their mouth. On one hand, they say how the Pax Romana benefited the preaching work and how the Romans provided relative stability. On the other hand, they would say how evil the Roman Empire was and how they persecuted and killed Christians."

  You can't have it both ways.

  "Your good example is much needed for the young ones the congregation."

  hey guys n gals, sorry its been such a long time since i've posted.

  lately i've been very busy balancing between my school work and cult activities.

  since i've been doing pretty well "spiritually"(enough field-circus hours, attending meetings, underlining my literatrash, reading, praying and serving as the mic-master) my coordinator grabbed me to the side after a meeting and talked to me for twenty minutes straight congratulating me about how good i am doing.. then he paused for a good five seconds and got all serious.. then he proceeded to tell me that the young ones in the hall aren't doing too well.

  Satan a Murderer?

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so took the wives car instead of mine in today, the watchtower was playing, i got to hear t.morris life story as narrated by him, but that is another story entirely... long story short, the study article it went into was about satan.

  first of all the person reading sounded like the epitome of a brainwashed drone.

  second this is why meeting and hearing these things make me more of an unbeliever than any exjw website.

  @ william draper:

  Also we don't have room for you on this boat , too many men already aboard

  What are you talking about?

  On top of that, I don't feel that I am spiritually weak. I know more about the bible and "spiritual" things in general than she does.

  How many members left the Watchtower because of all the Hatred and Anti-christian behavior? Were you exposed to betrayal, lies and slander against your family?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am trying to wrap my head around 2014 and all the evil we experienced while the elders and overseer said "wait on jehovah because that's what all the true believers do!

  " and i explained it's too painful to see the wicked people who brought my family suffering giving talks and providing other witness families with instruction we are to use when the end comes.

  why are the quite members those who get treated like trash while members who call down evil upon the organization get everything they want so they will keep their mouths shut?.

  Worst Memorial Talk Ever!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i honestly have never heard such claptrap being delivered in a memorial talk.. the speaker repeatedly put down the way other religions administered the bread & wine, and claimed that witnesses do it exactly as the bible describes.

  oh yeah????.

  he forgot to mention - when reading aloud 1 corinthians 11:25 - that after passing the bread, a full meal was to be shared, before the wine was passed around!

  I agree. The talk was pretty bad. The speaker giving it did a pretty bad job of delivering it as well. It was weird. The speaker was still giving the talk while the emblems were being passed. In years past, the speaker would just give a few comments during the passing of the emblems but remain mostly silent until the passing was completed.

  Well, I met with the brother and told him that EVERYTHING involving him and my son will and must go through me and that includes the study. He agreed to "back off".

  I made the mistake of telling my wife about the conversation. She is not happy. She basically told me that if I was "spiritually strong", no one would have to pick up the slack as far as headship (as seen through the eyes of the witnesses) goes.

  It got so bad between us that I spent last night at a motel. Yeah, this religion as done wonders for my family.
