The totally BOGUS idea of CERTAINTY inside the Watchtower religion

  wha happened?

  Lack of Humility is everything that is preventing this religion from ever becoming a religion, rather than a cult. You can't correct any of the GB without fear of getting df'd. So they can never receive any sort of council because they are talking to God, so they must be right.

  In the scriptures, every faithful person of old received council of some sort. Whether they followed it or not was usually life or death. These old turds just can't be told anything. And the awful illustrations and explanations they use to sell that crap to people. It's like putting whipped cream on dog crap. Hello, it's still dog crap! I'm not partaking.

  The wheat and the tares are deliberately left to grow side by side in scripture and yet the GB wants to "uproot" every perceived weed

  (according to THEIR standard) and consign them to destruction (predicting dates waaaay too soon.)

  When we look at Christianity all we are supposed to see is persons of faith.

  When the JW's look at Christianity they only see False Religion with themselves as the only Wheat.

  The Watchtower is a brand. Its a product that is packaged as the "Truth" and "Gods mouthpiece" or his FBS so they can't ever be apologetic about all of their failed profecies's and there will always be a small percentage of the population that will fall for this crap and that has always been their target market. They never intended to become a major mainstream religion. Thats their angle "Selling Exclusivety to a select few.

  Being sure...being certain....being convinced that you can perform your own brain surgery will not work out for you.

  And, guess what? Being sure....being certain....being convinced that Almighty God speaks through you won't work out either.

  Go ahead and state your OPINION and then find a way to TEST IT. If it is wrong---seriously ask yourself why you were SO DAMNED SURE!!

  The interesting and lets say fascinating part about the JWS organization and its operations is that the religion's entire belief system is based on

  false inaccurate designed doctrines which were originally created as a means to attract attention to the organization's published works.

  The WTS. established opinion if you will, had an endeavoring intent, recognizing that intent is complacent upon people's own bible knowledge

  and critical thinking capabilities. Its also important to ones own intellectual honesty in evaluating out the set opinion(s) of the WTS. to their own

  expressed intellectual honesty.

  Why did and perhaps people still do believe the WTS's opinion(s) ?

  I would say because mostly out of a compelling amount of fear and ignorance.

  When someone poses a life or death situation at you, you tend to block out contravening thoughts.

  A relationship of trust gets developed by someone who is honestly perceived to be really saving your life.

  The actual Truth of matter may be something totally quite different, as its known.

  A shame they didn't follow the same course as Herbert Armstrong and the "Plain Truth" people. They fail to understand how dynamic a sincere apology can be.

  They fail to understand how dynamic a sincere apology can be.

  Could they logically do so when the heads realize that there are hundreds and perhaps thousands who are

  full time wrokers for the WT organization world wide and the necessary financial on going income to support the organization. ?

  Under this realization, its no wonder the WTS. continues on the path as it has for such a long time.

  With that established premise in hand, its no wonder the WTS has to chart itself with a great amount of continuing Certainty.
