  Why doesn't the wt discuss the real reason many partake?

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it has nothing to do about feeling chosen or ruling in heaven, but rather many feel it's a command for all christians, that by partaking you are accepting christ as their saviour!

  The JWS religion just many others is just an individualistic interpretation of the bible and then stamped and presented as the true and accurate interpretation.

  In other words bullshit wrapped in a righteous sacred bow.

  The WTS for decades proclaimed that the numbers would decrease as the anointed ones died from 1935 forward.

  Well instead the number of partakers has increased exponentially over the years.

  So what do the GB members do ? call many of those partakers now mentally delusional and ironically most GB members are partakers. ....... stupid idiots

  for you poor saps unfortunate enough to have missed yesterday's zoom watchtower study, i thought i'd prepare a little summary for you.. in fact, to keep things really short, i'll just highlight the outstanding verbs from the article.. paragraph 2: do not view.

  paragraph 4: think seriously about the warning.....partake unworthily.

  paragraph 5: do not feel...does not give....do not feel....would never tell.

  Since the bible says that the 144,000 anointed would be only virgin men, why doesn't the GB make a new announcement based upon that ?

  Oh right the GB men are mostly all married.

  Evidence of WT bad intent - How they handled changing the meaning of "porneia"

  by AlainAlam in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  sorry, long post :) i'm considering evidence that at least at some point, the gb/watchtower had bad intentions.

  i would like to share the following: *** w74 11/15 p. 703 questions from readers ***do lewd practices on the part of a married person toward that one’s own mate constitute a scriptural basis for the offended mate to get a divorce?there are times when lewd practices within the marriage arrangement would provide a basis for a scriptural divorce.. based on this, some jw chose to divorce.

  but then:*** w83 3/15 p. 30 honor godly marriage!

  The intentions by the GB men of the WTS have been foiled by the engaging delusion of them having god's holy spirit, sanctification, direction and guidance.

  This delusion is not uncommon among religious leaders, what adds to this problem is lack of education on many subjects including ancient human history, sociological human behavior and scientific discoveries.

  You can debate bad intentions all you want about certain religoius leaders but the core problem is really about themselves and the subsequent power and control they obtain over people.

  Do you have any evidence that the GB had bad intent?

  by AlainAlam in

  do you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?

  as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..

  I wonder what they'll do when it becomes obvious their later "explanation" of the "generation" wasn't right either!

  Answer = We have new light brothers and sisters as to the reason why the overlapping generation has passed away

  they are still running their own agenda which is a mix of political activism or hyping panic for profit.

  and that is why I stopped watching television all together.

  this thing is Chinese made and built to last.

  Due to the fact that this virus has spread all around the world and has effected so many in different lands, there are now many virus research institutions that have under taken the cause to develop a vaccination, with that in mind it is therefore possible a vaccination could be developed sooner than before with other similar viruses.

  My advise to all considered is to obey the instructions given out by health officials as in keeping an appropriate safe distance from people, wash your hands right after if you go out in public as to the stores.

  Take some kind of cleansing disinfectant with in your car so you can wipe your hands after going into a public place is another good idea.

  And dont forget to smile and be pleasant with others when you talk and meet others on the streets or wherever.
  

  Doing so will make yourself feel better and help to alleviate the stress and anxiety that most people are experiencing.

  Built up stress and anxiety actually weakens the immune systems in people, particularly at this time and situation that's not a good thing.

  And there IS an agenda behind THAT panic that is prompted by an agenda other than my health.

  There is no qestion that the media is over commercially selling this for the sake of ratings but they are nevertheless part of the solution to putting a stop to this contagious virus in the public domain..

  I see where your coming from mind you in your comment..

  Oh I'm armed baby with intellectual truth and wisdom.

  And that is not our health. IMO

  So the designated health officials from each country are blowing hot air, that this virus is neither contagious or deadly ?

  Interesting
