GEOFFREY JACKSON and the JUNCTION of DYSFUNCTION

by Terry in

in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king.. _____________________.

in the watchtower society, there is a point where heaven and earth meet.. 100+ years of historical evidence will show it is a junction of dysfunction; a mental construct; a shadow of imagination indwelling like a spirit of possession.. the shaman who invoke this shadow spirit are seven men in number; an elite cadre of self-described anointed kings and priests whose ultimate destination is heaven itself.. or so they are eager to insist!.

while cloaking themselves in the ragged raiment of mere slaves, their actions, words and deeds betray this subterfuge.

billion + believe in satan.

should all schools be mandated to teach creationism?.

we must save our children from foolish belief in the supernatural.. .

It should be available only as a extracurricular activity ie; the creationist club, the satan club or the wiccan club

Preaching is a waste of time

by konceptual99 in

before anyone gives me the "bears/wood" similarities, this is a post based on insidethekh's reply on the mormon v jw thread.

(http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/287545/1/who-is-copying-who-jws-or-mormons) i like to see wt friendly posts on here as some of the wt bashing displays the same logical fallacies as levelled against the wts and it's followers so it's good to consider reasoned debate.. on the one hand i think itkh makes a fair point if you compare the worldwide success of mormons v jws but there is an overall context to the preaching work that is completely ignored by those fully "in" and has been a major factor in my move from being an active witness to one on the cusp of getting out.

from a statistical point of view there are great headline numbers presented by the wts but if you put them in the context of the number of witnesses, conversation ratios, ratio of new witnesses to birth rates, numbers that must be leaving, growth differentials across the globe, penetration in muslim nations and so on then these numbers become meaningless.

As it says in Ephesians, evangelists are only one gift that Christ gave the congregation. In the witness idealogy you must be an evangelist or cannot be fully excepted into the congregation. For example if you are considered inactive you cannot become a MS thus not a good marriage prospect. So the real question is not; Is preaching a waste of time? It should be; Are the Governing Body acting as Pharisees imposing rules about preaching that are not found in the bible?
