Theocratic warfare [AKA Lying for the Truth]

by TTWSYF in

my elder brother made the mistake of telling me about the wts policy of theocratic warfare.

he first called it 'lying for the truth' then he tried to tone it down to theocratic warfare.

he justifies this position by citing the scriptures that say do not throw pearls to the swine for they will trample them under foot and tear you to pieces.. my question is .

kairos

The watchtower is full of lies.

Otherwise, Harm-you-gettin' would already have been here.

Are we going to see a mass awakening?

the internet is the archive for civilization.. watchtower cannot hide it's history.. are we seeing the beginning of a mass exodus out of her?.

kairos

In my area many older ones are dying. As many as 10 in the last two years and as many as 10 more could die ANYTIME.

How are JWs coping with the FACT that the very ones that studied with them, that told them we'd never grow old, etc are dying before their eyes?

Then add in JW'TV'ORG and all the major doctrinal changes. How long can they hold out?

santa paula, ca..........17..

I was working the stage at an assembly day where we knew back stage before the baptism talk that there were no candidates.

We thought nothing of it. Our only concern was for the "poor brother" giving the talk to no one.

1200ish in attendance.

long time lurker here.

i don't want hate in our hearts - jw are wrong oh so wrong - and i want to blame this religion for making me cold and distant to the world.

but i believe everything is meant to be, we all have purpose in this world.

Looking forward to hearing more!

We're all in it together.

thank you very much. very nice post.

I find myself imagining JWs watching these wild videos and thinking to themselves: "we must have the true religion".

If they aren't, why are they still in. I must admit, my research into cults/mind control is sorely lacking.

The Watchtower Society - a modern day Tower of Babel

by OrphanCrow in

the jw..org website now boasts that the jw message is translated into over 700 languages..

a noble feat, you may think.

and how wonderful that jehovahs message can reach the far ends of the world in so many languages!.

kairos

I don't think the amazing number of languages available will do much. On any level.

It's just something JWs like to brag about. Some sort of, "reaching the entire inhabited earth" boast. Membership retainment tactics.

Flier on "Day and Week of Christ's Death" to be mailed out to Kingdom Halls this week!

by CharlieSmith1975 in

the tricky thing about a mass mailing to all the kingdom halls is that mail is often not delivered to the kingdom hall but to a po box.

it is super easy to get all the addresses to hundreds of kingdom halls across the country and even have those addresses printed out for you as labels!

but when i did that before i got about a third of them back.

kairos

A perfectly faked letter from HQ is brilliant.

Have them announce from the platform that the DFing policy is no longer!! Can you even imagine if the announcement was made and had to be corrected due to "apostate infiltration".

OK, back to reality...

Thanks for all of the replies.

I just have to hope that there is a large number that know TTATT and are looking for the opportunity to exit.

Curious, when we leave do our old friends ever "wonder why"? Or do they just chalk it up to Satan's power and go on without us forgetting we ever existed?
