    Another Watchtower Mindset?

    It amazes me how Jehovah's Witnesses think. However, at the
    same time it terrifies me to think that I thought in the same way.

    The Stormy Conversation

    A conversation with a Witness about the United Nations and the
    Watchtower Society produced a fire-breathing episode in which
    the witness protested there was nothing wrong with the Watch-
    tower Society needing a “library” card from the United Nations.

    She justified her position because "the Watchtower is just
    trying to confirm bible prophecy.”

    However, when I brought it to her attention the Watchtower
    associated with the United Nations her reaction was “you
    can’t trust the United Nations because they are led by
    wicked men.”

    In other words, it is okay to use their library facilities and other
    information sources but you cannot believe anything they have
    to say? —Give me a break!


    Does anyone have any similar experiences to this type
    of contradicting doublethink mentality?

    Respectfully,

    Yep -almost the same words defending his position not to look at the UN letter that confirmed the WTS fornication with the UN.

    This same elder also, when I sent him the letter from the Society that instructed a body of elders to not report the murder confessions of a member of the congregation, excused it with " Well someone on the service committee in Brooklyn ran ahead of the organization with that one"

    A murder should be reported no matter what. That's just wrong!!! Very wrong!

    JH24 - Let me see if I can find the link to that letter and post it. I was in shock when I first read it.

    Dear Jeff:

    I have no problem with that at all. If your information
    sparks a certain insight that proves to be helpful and
    informative to the board members, more power to
    you.

    Your friend,

    Richard

    Its sad. They just can't think. They try to defend the WT and won't admit that they could be wrong.
