  Do not store up treasures on earth

  by runForever in

  i had a thought about this scripture: "do not store up for yourselfs treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy,.

  and thieves break in and steal".

  it really seems to fit storing up treasures in the jehovah's witnesses organization.

  prologos, I think we agree to a point but I'm specifically talking about the tagline when they say you are building up a good name but the

  'deposits' are in actuality with people-humans who assure you that your good rep is safe with them. Yes the pioneering, work, talks were supposed to be blessings but the long term was you were building up a good name... unfortunately it was really trusting in the human organization which then pilfers

  the record of your 'works' by now deeming you and your works completely worthless.

  Scriptures like this I wondered about when I was in. A group of thieves who are conspiring to murder a man

  and take his posessions and get all sorts of loot? That didn't seem realistic at all that this would be such a common occurence

  that Solomon makes this specific warning but now it makes sense. If some people decide they want to ruin the reputation of someone else they pretty much do the same thing as this scripture. They 'find and innocent soul' who is an easy target. They 'swallow them alive' in slander. They go after their 'valuable things' which is their credit and reputation and seek to 'fill their houses with loot'. By doing this they look good and the other looks bad without doing any work. And sometimes this results in real death such as suicide. Proverbs 1 : 8-14.

  I had a thought about this scripture: "Do not store up for yourselfs treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy,

  and thieves break in and steal". It really seems to fit storing up treasures in the Jehovah's Witnesses organization. We build

  up our treasure in the reputation of ourselves and the seeming credit we build up by going out in service, acts of mercy, time on quickbuilds and so on.

  But really our "treasure" is broken into and stolen by lying slander, from elders who claim we are evil, by disfellowshippings, by the label apostate.

  This makes the elders and others look righteous and us look bad - they have stolen our treasure and we don't have anything of that left. Hindsights 20/20 but just thought that this is an interesting way to look at this scripture.

  there is a 91 year old man in the first episode of jw tv.

  does something about him look odd to you on the full frontal close-ups?

  it somewhat seems like he is cg maybe with an actor really talking but a made up cg face.. before you say no look at this and this was back in 2008:.

  watched the video and it's amazing to see how much things are covered up and outright lied about. It's amazing how much it lines up with the cult profile in "combatting cult mind control". I was pretty amazed at that book because it even pointed out that cults will and do use experts to

  backup the credit of the cult which you wouldn't expect because you would think how would they ever get them to do that? It's pretty amazing to start seeing how well complete straight faced lying and brute tactics work.

  Lying about Shunning! jw.org conceals the "truth"

  by Skinnedsheep in

  http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/shunning/ .

  "those who were baptized as jehovahs witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned.

  in fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest.".

  Everybody: This is simple bbc propaganda and it's having the exact effect they want. Bbc is a government bullhorn as is cnn, msnbc, fox news. Almost 100% of it is bs. If they can stir up outrage (accomplished here on jw net) that gives them the license to start the wars they want to start. Governments have been doing this since they began. The bible even says it: "Those ruling are lording it over the rest". Proverbs "The rich are ruling over the poor.". They don't want to give it up and will create scare scenarios to keep the money flowing. Follow the money. The truth will set you free.
