  Sole CHANNEL of communication?

  has the gb ever explained exactly how they supposedly communicate with god and get new light or other "inspiration" for their "spiritual dog food"?.

  do they all sit in a room together and hold hands and join one conciousness??.

  do they fall asleep and go to the dream world and talk to jehovah there like the movie inception or something??.

  Rutherford wrote that the holyspirit was no longer active and he got direct contact with angels. Good stuff.

  .

  Interesting.....I'd like to hear more about this.

  It never occurs to JW's to question anything about new light or how it come to be. I always imagined the GB met together, prayed and Jehovah's holy spirit put it in all their minds what the new light understanding was or something mysterious like that. LOL

  Ray Franz gave more insight about the inner-workings of the JW GB than anyone, but JW's would not even believe any of what he describes, which sounds very man-made corporate-like.

  This is a subject that really angers me about this fraud of a religion. People are DF'd left & right for apostacy for not agreeing with all the endless details of this religion, and unbeknown to them the Governing Body is meeting behind closed doors and talking about changing beliefs, which indicates they don't believe it, which is apostacy. In his book Ray Franz talked about meetings where "new light" was discussed and it took like a 2/3 vote to pass it. How in the hell could the GB members who brought up a change that wasn't voted in as new light not be DF'd for apostacy? How the hell could the GB members who voted against new light that passed the vote not be DF'd for apostacy? This religion is a man-made fraud.

  Did You Ever Get Screwed By A Jehovah's Witness?

  witnesses are supposed to be the "most honest people in the world".

  most jws i know of do not put business deals in writing.

  they simply "trust their brother".

  Before I joined the cong there evidently was a financial scandal where several families invested in a brother's business venture and they all lost their monies. This was always spoken of in hushed tones. I still don't know the whole story.

  How to Wear a Pinkie Ring, by Stephen Lett, Governing Body Member

  by Oubliette in

  1. social
  2. humour

  always the fashionista amongst the governing body members, mr. stephen lett recently showed us how even an older man can display a certain swagger, a certain je nesais quoi that says, "i'm one of the anointed, and you're not!".

  he does this in so many ways, but the one i want to draw our attention to is the way he rocked the theocratic fashion world with his wearing of a very manly pinkie ring in a recent wtbts video.. - -.

  stephen lett of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses demonstrating how to wear a pinkie ring.

  That's just great. A Jehovah Witness governing body member who feels he needs to wear a pinky ring? All of the nonsense counsel and backroom meetings over personal style & grooming counsel crap that the elders of this religion have put people through and in 2014 they have a GB member that wears a pinky ring? That's just really great.

  What is the "new" date JWs are "hinting" at for Armaggeddon?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after the 1975 "we did not say point blank armaggeddon was coming we only suggested it might come" fiasco what is the new date jws are "hinting" at for armaggeddon?

  i know now they do not point to any specific date but hint that maybe it might occur such as before 2000 the preaching work will be finished.

  this is a suggestion not a prediction so they can wiggle out of this one.

  The idiots in JW Leadership could have saved the cult all this embarrassment if they would have listened to expert historians that tried to tell their dumb Watchtower asses that Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 BCE not 607 BCE. They could have had the gentile times end in 1934 then spin the rise of Hitler and start of WWII being due to Satan being cast down to the vicinity of the earth and the time of the end starting. They could have even kept the "this generation" teaching. It's as believeable as as other of the bullshit they put out. All you need to do in JW theology is cherry pick some bible scriptures to support it.

  Are they really that stupid

  by moley in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was recently approached by a couple of borg drones while i was walking my dog, and i thought why not, may plant a seed or two (how wrong was i).

  there was no real logic to what they were saying but as i was in the local park the conversation started to veer to how wonderful nature was and how this was the work of a wonderful creator.

  i did not let on i was a former witness and let them continue with their fairy tale of creation and how the vast multitude of animals shows a loving god at work blah blah blah...... but i digress, the converastion then turned to how evolution was false.. apparently to earth is only a few thousand years old, so i mentioned about the burgess shale, to be met with blank stares.

  OH, NONE OF THAT STUFF IS REAL. ITS BEEN PLACED THERE BY SATAN AND HIS DEMONS TO DECEIVE MANKIND INTO NOT BELEIVING IN CREATION.

  .

  Yes, JW's really are that stupid. Satan uses the smart demons to pull off this diabolical deception. The idiot demons are delgated to smurf and used furniture & nick-nack possession duty.

  I know 2 of the Elders on the Ray Franz JC

  by James Jackson in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i read coc, i was stunned that the 2 elders (theotis french & rob dibble) were on ray franz judcial committee.

  i have known these men for over 20 years having done rbc and convention work with them.

  they are still elders today which means they were in their early 30's(which is unheard of for a case of this importance to have inexperienced elders to sit on) on this committee.. without revealing myself, i have never tried(but have wanted to), ask them about their on having to judge a former gb member.. then out of the blue, about a year ago, i was mentioning how hard it is trying to get younger ones to volunteer to one of these elders, and he says"this is nothing compared to to sitting on the committee that had to disfellowship ray franz".

  Of course they were instructed that way, they wanted him out and would have stopped at nothing to do so. It it was a foregone conclusion that he was to be gone, then they would have been no need for anyone 'experienced' to do the JC.

  .

  I've read somewhere where evil men used similar tactics to take down a righteous man who didn't agree with them. Where did I read that. Oh yeah I remember now. It was in the Bible when the Pharisees took Jesus down.

  I could see the Governing Body quoting this in the Watchtower, then claiming they been saying this for years.
