some have wondered if "captives of a concept" had anything to do with why the governing body changed their interpretation of the most important scripture in their theology at their annual meeting on october 6, 2012.. this is because the book places great emphasis on the societys interpretation of matthew 24:45-47 and then holds them to it while examining the organizations history to make sure that went on in its history fits their interpretation.

this comparison is essential to the societys claim to being gods organization.. their previous interpretation came from their former most imminent bible scholar president frederick franzs in his "gods kingdom of a thousand years has approached.

" their history comes from their "jehovahs witnesses proclaimers of gods kingdom.".

The same reason why they change every other doctrine. Blind organization leading others.

Of course all the other religions are not any better.

Luke 12:45 - Does that mean the F&D can go "bad"?

by thedepressedsoul in

the more i read the gospels the more i get the feeling that jesus warns about organized religion or those that overbear on your faith telling you completely how to worship god.

let's say luke chapter 12 is talking about the f&s.

does vs 45 on mean that the f&s can turn bad so to speak?

Good luck on finding out anything about the bible and its interpretation.

What do you call a person who . . . ?

by Terry in

what do you call a person who keeps promising to do something for you--but won't get up off their ass and do it?.

what do you call a person who needs money from you all the time and doesn't pay it back?.

what do you call a person who keeps you waiting and waiting and then, they don't show up?.

Love me or i'll kill you ...it does sound like Jehovah.

One thing about this site that bothers me

by keyser soze in

jw

the constant references to 'window washers' as something derogatory.. i understand the context of it-that most jws are uneducated, and unqualified to do much more.

but sometimes the references seem snobbish, almost mean-spirited.

one poster, on another thread, essentially referred to window washers as 'losers'.

sporece

I agree 100%. Very few window washers, mostly i've known in 32 years held very good jobs.

Some CEO.

Many owned their own business.

A few in carpet cleaning that have become millionaires.

Some that i have known were worth more than 100million dollars.

Just like any religion..rich and poor.

Have nothing against window washers.

First Post - Emotionally Torn

by scaredtospeak in

i haven't been on here long but i found this site a couple days ago and quickly realised it had a lot of posts by people going through similar experiences as me.

i read some of the answers and it helped relieve some inner anguish i've been carrying since everything i came clean to my parents about everything i've been reading about.. .

i just have been going through a rough patch right now; that might be an under or overstatement depending on your own personal experiences with this kind of stuff.

I am 60 years old and became a witness in 1975 when i was 22 years old and spent 32 years as a witness. An elder for 2 decades.

I feel i wasted 32 years of my life on a stupid religion controlled by a few men who have brainwashed millions of people.

View it as a blessing that your eyes have been opened and that you can move on with your life and do what you like to do and not what the watchtower says.

Life is good in the world, get an education ...maybe you can help help your parents to see the light in due time.

Anyone going to the memorial this year?

by Pyramid God in

jw
friends

i was invited by my parents, and even though i have nothing but contempt for this religion, things have been good in our relationship so i was considering going just to appease them.

anyone else?.

sporece

Not a chance, it's been 7 years of freedom from the watchtower and seating among those that continue to glorify the GB and being deceived

and listening to lies it would be a waste of my time.

Hope you enjoy it.
