  My sister was invited to a Judicial Committee

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  today i called to my sister and she told me that two elders went to her house to announce her that a judicial committe is waiting her in the kingdom hall this friday.

  she told them that she will confirm if she will go.

  however, i have told her that she shouldn't go, instead she should ask them to write a formal letter, with signatures, asking her for which charges she should be submitted in a private room with two men (or three?

  I know of someone locally that is a known vocal apostate. The brothers wanted to meet with him. He threatened to sue each brother individually and the WTBTS if they pursued it. Stopped it cold. No meeting. There was a marking talk and that was all. It's been a few years now. So the threat alone can work.

  A therapist is cheaper than a lawyer usually. The cool thing about the therapist angle is it carries the fear of litigation without the cost of a lawyer. Pretty slick....

  How could they question it - you know - with that whole "weaker vessel" stuff? LOL....

  Propaganda vs Bible study

  by Clambake in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is it just me or is the wts increasingly just becoming more about watchtower propaganda.

  every week it seems to be about killing your children over blood transfusions or worshipping the magical men in brooklyn or the loving provision of shunning or the magical power of the elders or some brother in far off land who is in jail because he cant stop handling out magazines he doesnt understand to people who dont want them.

  try and get a jw to explain the gospels or the book of the romans and what was significant about the book of acts...........................no clue.

   I know all along they've pulled scriptures here and there out of context and applied them to each other...and you can make people believe anything doing that....but something about them neglecting it more and focusing on their rule system and reverence for themselves, is scary...more cult like than before. - fayedun-away

  Yeah I know what you're saying. It's like when you meet a devout Christian, you don't necessarily agree with everything they believe, but you respect them for trying to live by certain standards. What standards do the GB answer to if they do not believe in the Bible anymore? 

  It certainly explains why things have escalated so quickly as of late. Blatant commercialism, empire building, fund seizure, fear-mongering, power-grabbing, etc.  

  At least we know what we now know. Oz isn't real. We can't control them, but we can control our future - a future out of the reach of these power-lusting sicko's.

  *** km 9/74 p. 8 question box ***as jehovahs servants we.....................do not want to give others the impression that the tetragrammaton is the symbol of jehovahs witnesses as a whole.

  we have no organizational symbol to identify ourselves but show that we are jehovahs christian witnesses by living in harmony with gods will.john 13:35.. don't you just love those "old" lights?.

  They have come out in print with a different stance on "symbols" since? - cappytan

  No of course not - they would never risk being accused of idolatry.

  But.....With all this fanfare over jw.org pins and such - their silence speaks volumes!

  Yeah I am sure they have the lawyers sign a million forms before they show them the dirt, but since when is a lawyer scared of legal forms? I hope one of them turns purely because of conscience - like Barbara Anderson did.

  They bombed that old light power plant. It's just smoke and ashes.

  Another example of light not getting brighter at all, but one light being turned off and another turned on based purely on convenience.

  Why would the current leadership that IS the slave, after all, worry about what anybody wrote prior to them?  They are Number #1, so what do any other numbers mean? - prologos

  Isn't that the truth?! They even demoted the original 12 apostles with their latest FDS "new light" bologna.

  Ain't Narcissism great?
