  Watchtower Eliminated the "Evil Slave Class" according to E-Watchman? True or False?

  by AuntConnie in

  looking for information to make the july 15th, 2013 watchtower make sense, i came across the e-watchman website.

  is he a jehovah's witnesses waiting for the reformation or a apostate like all of us on jwn?.

  his post on the "faithful and evil slave" is very enlightening, according to his question he received from his readers, the watchtower said "there is no evil slave class" to eliminate fear the evil slave is working at bethel!.

  I have had a fair bit of personal comminication with that E-Watcman fellow and find what he says about the governing body facinating. He describes them as they really are.. 'the disgusting thing in the Holy Place'.

  It pretty heavy reading but hey are not pearls worth diving deep for?

  And yes what the watchtower teach on so many very important issues is simply plain madness. You will do yourself an injury if you try to make any real sense of it.

  Madness is not meant to be understood.

  Of course Quiet One, I was just playing serpents advocate.

  Again and again I'm seeing that the org is showing itself not to be the possessors or messengers of truth but rather the master manipulators of truth.

  Jehovah's Witnesses worship the GOLDEN CALF

  by Terry in

  moses led enslaved jews out of bondage in egypt to promised reward.. moses went up on the mountain (sinai) and the people waited, ran out of faith and made an idol (golden calf) to worship.. those people thought they needed a centralized worship focused on the visible.

  they constructed their own.. the last centralized focus of worship, the temple in jerusalem, brought jews from everywhere to focus on one location.. when that was destroyed, they scattered and ran for the hills.. the true believers who replaced the jews (spiritual jews) banded together and concocted the church universal (catholic).

  to centralize a theocratic government.

  Perhaps because Satan is referred to as the 'original serpent'?

  Elisha was not a liar. Comparison over.

  Oh.. and the elders wife that tried to start an affair with me. What part of the Kingdom was I being used to fulfil there exactly?

  Privileges? Waiting 5 years to be allowed to hold a microphone in the meeting? Is that one of the privileges you are referring to?

  There are also a dozen religions that are growing faster then the Witnesses globally. Who is blessing them?

  Who said they are Jehovah's organisation? Them?

  Pretty wonderful actually.

  After the confusion, frustration, dissapopinment, dissolusionment, anger, the feeling of having been lied to, conned, deceived has passed. And it does pass, the feeling of just being able to live one's life and no longer be a man pleaser is so liberating one would never want to trade one's liberty and freedom again.

  makes me wonder how we all let it happen in the first place.

  @ LisaRose..

  Er.. when a fully grown adult that's meant to be a witness hears distinct individual characters with seperate voices in their head talking to them and taking over their personality.. you call that normal??

  Sorry but not in my books. And psycologists are often total loony bins themselves with some of the theories they come up with every month insuring they get their salaries paid.

  But I guess if you don't believe in a God anymore then it must mean the darker side of things is also a non-reality for you. Fair enough.

  Where Do I Go Now?

  by individual in

  with all the problems in the 'truth' and all the things that we know are wrong with it there seems to be aspects of their theology (i.e the sequences of the world powers, statue in daniel, the promise of world restoration again found in daniel) that to me still make sense.

  although i cannot follow a religion that believes in the destruction of all humanity barring those that respond to their own preaching work i still believe in a creator and cannot accept the teachings of other religions that have no purpose for the earth and believe that mankinds only destiny is in heaven.

  my mind keeps telling me that if god was behind a religion it would be so much better than that of the jws.

  I am in the same postion as all those that commented in this thread 12 years ago. Mine is quite fresh.. just over 6 months that I began to see through the whole society sharade and now it has put me off religion altogether.

  Just allowing time, distance and separation to do it's own healing work. Still trying to work out what I do and do not believe.
