Hidden Meanings of the Bible: It's All About the Mind
by ProdigalSon in
1. watchtower
2. bible
back in bible times, the common literary style was in parables, metaphors, and allegories.

the reason for this is that the spiritual truths they were trying to convey are too abstract and difficult to express in literal terms.

the bible itself says that not a word jesus spoke was literal:.

Why we have Conspiracy Theorists......

everyone knows a conspiracy theorist (let's face it we have a few on this board).

my attention has been to drawn to an article in the new york times, which i have pasted below.

apparently people with propensity to create conspiracy theory narratives are quite sane, even though they may have low self worth and cannot fully ascertain their place in the world.

Who are the men that REALLY Run the WT?
by Zordino in
1. jw

with all of the manipulating of people's lives and subliminaly coercing witnesses to give their wills and other belongings to the wt upon their death or sooner.

also with all of the manipulating of younger one's in terms of coercing them into not doing anything with they're lives except "spiritual pursuits" for the sole purpose of furthering their own corporate interests, is there possibly some men behind the scenes who really call the shots and using the gb just as puppets in a huge money making scam knowing full well the the whole jw thing is a complete pile of crap?

in other words, are these "bosses" conscientiously manipulating the r & f on purpose knowing full well what they are doing to their member's in so many ways?

Why I think (in a nutshell) why this org is approaching collapse
by cptkirk in
1. jw
2. experiences
in a nutshell: i think that (and i do not enjoy thinking about this)...i think that the crazies within the religion (who range from just low level people to co elder do and up) have won so many battles at this point (over the more balanced people/ideas)......that the people who tend to think in a more balanced fashion (whether they themselves be low level or higher up) are getting to be the real minority.

i think this dynamic, will be what finally sinks the ship.. as we see with any organization (corporate or otherwise), many times there are reports that make you wonder (how is this thing alive or prospering?

), and upon closer scrutiny, there are strong people in the background holding the walls up (who themselves get little attention).

Revelation 14:3 Who sings the new song???????
by label licker in
1. watchtower
2. bible
in society's revelation book chapter 29 verse 10 on page 201 states the 24 elders are 144,000 and all are singing the same song, how can that be?

in their bible the only ones that can master that song is the 144,000. not the four living creatures nor the elders.

this 144,000 group is standing before the 24 elders.
