this week we have mention of the 12 tribes of israel in the bible study.
we have the same thing mentioned in the wt this week.
12 apostles are also mentioned (need to double check that one).
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?

At our international conv., the visiting gb member asked for prayers for the gb. He said there's just a few of us.... with a wimper and a shrug of the shoulders. I was like, "please dude, you expect us to feel sorry for you?"
It's their system - they can appoint whoever they want, and we are supposed to feel sorry for them. He says this with his face on the jumbo-tron..... unreal.

if you walked up to any jw and said "i just spoke to satan" they would think you lost your mind.
while that reaction makes perfect sense in the real world, in wt land it doesn't add up.
here's why i say this -jw's are supposed to believe the following:.
Isn't it strange how Jehovah doesn't offer protection from car accidents or the flu, but seems to offer 100%, 24/7 constant protection for all of his followers worldwide, regardless of their level of faith, from direct contact by any wicked spirit creature on earth (or by any good spirits for that matter). Especially is this protection iron-clad when it comes to a conversation. I guess we could vaporize if a demon spoke to us and said "What's up?".
Remember a third of the - myriads upon myriads - of angels fell with Satan and are trapped on earth. So that's a lot of protection. Praise Jah you people!
Only elders are supposed to talk to apostates - prologos
Then I am doing a lot of what I'm supposed to be doing - LOL... (still no sign of Satan tho)

i have read the site with great interest over the last few weeks.
some interesting stuff thats for sure.. i have left the jehovah's witnesses (was almost going to say the 'truth') for some time now.
i was one of the lucky ones that was baptised then faded, no humiliating disfellowshipping but nonetheless was very hard to get myself out.

boc,
They seem to believe in a concept called "Satan" - the illusive "Boogeyman", the easy scapegoat to blame for everything evil or undesirable.
It seems they don't actually believe in Satan the person. Otherwise hearing his voice would not be a sign of mental problems in their community. To me this is a super simple "rubber meets the road" topic. It's one thing to say you believe in Satan and blame him for everything, but quite another to have a conversation with him - or at least believe a conversation would be possible.
I think it exposes the lack of true depth in their faith and the "doublethink" that is so prevalent in the religion.

A very strange situation - people believing two completely opposite realities - Simon
It is always fun to turn left and right at the same time mentally. Very healthy. (sarcasm)
Is it any wonder that JW's have zero critical thinking abilities? They are convinced (or should I say conned) into shutting these parts of their brain off. They must do this to trudge through the belief system.

If JW's actually believed all the above 6 points, wouldn't they expect a conversation to be possible with Satan today? I'm telling you, if you walked up to a Circuit Overseer and said that you just spoke to Satan and you were concerned about something Satan said - that dude would freak out! It would spread quickly that you were not mentally stable.
I find this inconsistency interesting and telling. What do you think?
