  watchtower 1974p.167 "...by over indulging in food....he fails to show love for jehovah god...is food a big thing in his life?

  Bethel writer see's a fatty bethelite take the last bread roll at lunch...should he vent his feelings thru Jehovahs holy Watchtower magazine...why not!!

  Watchtower 1974p.167 "...by over indulging in food....he fails to show love for Jehovah God...is food a big thing in his life? Does he selfishly ignore others needs and take more then his share? Is he grossly overweight but shows no restraint habitually gorging himself? ....he has NO PLACE IN THE CONGREGATION OF GOD...HE WILL NOT INHERIT GODS KINGDOM..."

  (Four years later the "fat-racist" continues) Watchtower 1978 12/15 p.9 "...he may make it impossible for other diners to eat to satisfaction. For this reason he may be dispised...he isolates himself from others...THEY MAY SHUN HIM...GODS KINGDOM WILL BRING LAW-DEFYING GLUTTONS TO AN END."

  I guess Monopoly encouraged materialism...Hungry hippos was greedy...and playing cards leads to gambling!! This is an example of abusing our spiritual food to vent personal views....Jehovah did not aprove this message...bethel did.

  Yeah from 1995 after they changed the generation teaching. My faith in the went down like a jet plane in trouble. So glad iwoke up and realized I was just a Watchtower battery. Faked a sickness and faded into the REAL world.

  Assembly News Photo

  this photograph from a news site is a succinct summary of a life in wt's hands....... look at their faces, it says it all.. also, note the watchtower pr machine in action, explaining that it brings 4 million dollars to the location.

  (10,000 x 400 dollars) clearly a watchtower statistic, where is the care and interest for members who are struggling so much, with new videos encouraging less career activity, less work commitments, at an all time economic low for our generation.. http://www.standard-freeholder.com/2014/06/15/thousands-attend-watchtower-convention-in-cornwall.

  father: "i'm a wt 'yes' man and proud of it!

  What Do Mormons Really Believe? RE: The Nov. 8, 1995 Awake Magazine

  by D_Rolling_Kearney in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, and i have written a heavily-documented response to the official magazine of the jehovah's witnesses, awake!, that claims to teach what we believe.

  i saw an article from last year's watchtower about a guy who had barely been mormon for very long, and obviously did not know what we believe, who was given this magazine by jw's to show him "the truth.

  " he claims to have proven to himself that it was true from information on the lds church's website.

  Amazing.....I used to be this guy white washing Rutherford and Russells history....I could make Stalin look like a "really nice guy." Religious blindness and brainwashing is worse then cancer.

  Does anyone remember the excuse they used in 1979-1980

  by Crazyguy in

  2. beliefs

  back in 79-80 they came out with another wt stating quite clearly that jesus was not the mediator for most jw's and of course this upset quite a few and some asked "if jesus is not my mediator then how does god hear my prayers?

  ' does anyone remember what they said to answer this question?.

  A big shift in the world is about to happen......

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't want to deceive anyone and i have to clarify a few things so i'm sorry this is going to be a lot more vague then you want.

  infact if you do not already realize or also feel something is about to happen as in the title, then move along, it will be a month or 2 before i update this.

  it's not my intention to annoy anybody, i am too uncomfortable to post any details because it's too new and i need to verify things, and i am also feeling responsible to give a subtle warning, that it might be something somebody needs to see.
