Hypocrisy of JW Thinking After Tragedy Like Paris

by freemindfade in

it never has ceased to boggle my mind how twisted up jw thinking is.

when they see something like what happened in paris, in person they will express how sad and detestable it is quickly followed by "this is why we need the kingdom, and the desert god is gonna fix everything.

" here is where i get perplexed.

If JWs viewed non-believers as fellow humans, the thought of 99.9% of them being mercilessly slaughtered by a "superior" being would be utterly revolting.

JW: But we DOO value non-believers as humans. Why else would we spend billions of hours a year trying to teach them Kingdom truths?

sir82
Are they still valuable even if they do not accept what you teach?

JW: Yes, of course. Don't be silly.

sir82
But they won't live if they don't convert to your religion.

JW: WE DON'T JUDGE! It's JEHOVAH who marks them as goats and destroys them.

sir82
You...uh... but they're still valued as humans.

JW: Not if Jehovah destroys them, which He will. Then they're just dead humans.

sir82
Not valuable?

JW: No, not really.

Look to the governing body and you will see Jesus...

Brilliant. Some minds will be cemented by such a comment while other minds will go

Since you didn't trademark the name, you might want to find out if THEY have. You could be held in violation down the road if they decide to be jerks about it.

If it's still available, trademark it.

This exact scenario happened to a friend of mine who owned a small business for many years and lost his customers to the new kids on the block who had the foresight to protect their chosen name.

One Reason Why I Could Never Again be an Elder

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

there appears to be several crises inflicting themselves upon the wtbts all at once.

the crises are likely related....financial difficulties - hence the increasing publicity given to contributing money.

reduced production - probably related to above (literature and building principally).

When my mother was a nurse she asked to work in pediatrics because she loved children. A few months later she asked to be transferred out because she couldn't handle the trauma of tending to abuse cases.

I imagine an elder goes into the position with a sincere desire to shepherd the flock, help people. But the reality of what they are called on to deal with these days is too much.
