Look at their father who gave them the name, "Jehovah's Witnesses" and you'll understand the phrase "Like father, like son."

Why Is Alcoholism Deeply Embeded In JW Culture?
by RottenRiley inwe get plenty of company men passing through our circuit, often filled with misinformation and lugging around a suitcase of guilt, they bring more guilt to the weak while praising the braggart pioneers and slapping the "righteous over much" elders.
why are the wrong people getting praise in this distorted community?
i know for a fact many of the elders i served with have issues with alcoholism, when "brother guilt" brought his emotional hurricane through our circuit, i had the chance to eat and help pay for his "seven shots of tequila", both him and his wife were not immune to over-indulgences.

Oh My God!!
by ABibleStudent inyesterday after an awesome workout at the gym i was walking to the front door and i saw my former friend who is a "spiritually strong" (non-thinking) jw walking towards me talking with a trainer.
i thought she was either there on a job interview or was taking a tour of the facilities before joining.. i thought should i say hi, should i say nothing, would she acknowledge me, etc.
i decided to say hi to make sure that she remembered that i am a member of this gym, so that she would not feel uncomfortable it she accepted a job there or joined it.. the gym is about 20 miles from where she lived when i was friends with her, but is in a convenient location between where she was living and where she works.. i said "hi n" about five feet before me, no response.. i said "hi n" a little louder about five feet after they passed me.

Her cognitive dissonance must have been driving her crazy for her to say, "Oh My God!"
The poor JW's are conflicted when they run into a former JW because the human side of them wants to say Hi and talk but the cult side of warns them away becuase their sprituality might be damged if they are courteous.

Is this a prevalent attitude among Jehovah's Witness?
by Honesty inone jehovah's witness says that people deserve the evil rulers they have because god gives them the ruler they deserve.. okaaay.. jehovah's witnesses teach that 'true' christians refuse to vote, 'true' christians refuse to take up arms and revolt against oppressive governments but if a country gets an evil dictator it is the people's fault and they deserve it because god gives them what they deserve.. in other words, according to one jehovah's witness, god is the author of evil because the people of an entire country got what they deserve from him.. .

Some of the posters who called them on it are getting flamed for it by JW's on some other threads.

Okaaay.
Jehovah's Witnesses teach that 'TRUE' Christians refuse to vote, 'TRUE' Christians refuse to take up arms and revolt against oppressive governments but if a country gets an evil dictator it is the people's fault and they deserve it because God gives them what they deserve.
In other words, according to one Jehovah's Witness, God is the author of evil because the people of an entire country got what they deserve from Him.

[QUOTE who="xxxxx xxxx"]Salvation comes from the word sozo
And means being saved from anything..even oppression.
Lots of countries their people are being oppressed , because God gives them the 'ruler' they deserve.
See oppression is caused by refusing to have the true God as ruler in your life....many set up gods for themselves...and if they choose the wrong one they reap havoc
for the principle is the same for a nation as for an individual ' you reap what you sow.'[/QUOTE]
Read the comments from the Jehovah's Witness. Surely, they aren't taught stuff like that in the kingdom halls. are they?

Update from the land of Southern Africa
by LouBelle inwell 2013 is behind me and i'm pleased that it is done and dusted.
it was a hard one, filled with doubt, fear, pain and horribleness.
i was very fortunate to get out of that horrid job and get back into advertising with the fever.

Oh yes, the Watchtower...
A kinder, gentler way of oppressing people.
Just wait until the JW's new system gets here.
Any person who wants freedom apart from the Watchtower will be stoned to death.

Undeclared changes to the 2013 NWT
by Doug Mason inin the following from the 2013 edition of the nwt, the watchtower society indicates that when it released its initial 1950 edition, it considered the greek text provided by westcott and hort as its master text.
as a result of these additional masters, the wts made some undeclared changes to the 2013 nwt.
it does not list these changes or give any explanations.. greek text: in the late 19th century, scholars b. f. westcott and f.j.a.

They have to seat Jesus in the back of the bus because as of 2012 the Governing Body rides in the first 8 seats.
Therefore, changes revisions had to be made to the New World Comic book so that the Governing Body is rendered its due awe and reverence.
Can't have Jesus taking any obeisance away from the GB.
