Botchtower constantly goes beyond what is written. This was one of the things that I saw them doing when I was a teenager back in the '70s that I did not agree with.
I believe this is what is known as hypocrisy.

29"do not go beyond the things written"
by stuckinarut2 inthanks to bu2b and splash who mentioned this quote in another thread!.
but i thought it deserved a thread all of its own, such is the impact of this:.
the very best example of going beyond the things written comes from a 2008 watchtower.

Same here. Couldn't put it down. It confirmed for me a lot of my suspicions... and it educated me on other things I was not aware of (like the 2/3rds majority in voting... wtf?). -

The Reason Why Jehovah's Witnesses Will Never Prosper Is The Children
by minimus ini believe that the religion will remain stagnant due to their achilles heel, the kids, the children, that next generation.. most of them really don't wa t to be in the religion.
the parents may have tried everything within their power to make the kids love jehovah but we all know you can't force someone to love you and you can't make a grown person stay in a relationship or situation if they really don't want to be there..

Me and my 2 brothers were raised in this crap. None of us got baptized. My bro's children are also NOT baptized and luckily, were not raised in it. In my immediate family, this religion dies when Dad goes.
A few years back, my Dad told me that "the young ones are leaving in droves".
My immediate thought was "Good!"
I sure hope this trend continues.

OC: "Yeah...and I bet none of those responses have anything at all to do with Heaven's most powerful tool of all - her mind."
DJS said: Correct.
LOL!DJS said: Don't get me wrong; I LOVE girl parts, but I also LOVE strong and smart women.It is 100% normal for a guy to love girl parts and girls to love guy parts. Sexually repressive religion makes sexually weird men and women.Thank you DJS for raising your daughter to be strong and smart and confident. We need more Dad's like you. -

the "end" of mankind, which has been long predicted by jehovah's witnesses, could happen as soon as this year - according to latest announcement from the christian religion.. in the latest edition of jehovah's witnesses monthly publication watchtower, an article translated into 700 languages - urges people to join the religion or face certain death when god sends his forces from the heavens to "remove all world leaders," "exterminate his enemies" and "rid the world of satan".. critics have lambasted the warning of a coming armageddon as yet another "failed prediction" by the religion, which has previously delivered similar alerts such as a foretold apocalypse in 1975.. indeed, jehovah's witnesses have been warning people of the need to recognise jehovah or face certain death when the "end" comes for more than 100 years.. the christian-based religion was founded in the 1870s by charles taze russell in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, us, as an offshoot from the bible studies movement.. today, there are 8.2million jehovah's witness evangelists, while 19.9 million celebrated their annual memorial festival marking christ's death - worldwide in 2014.. followers do not believe in military service and will not accept blood transfusions.. in a new eight-page article, watchtower said jehovah's witness leaders are now "convinced" humans are in their "final days" before the armageddon.. they cite an increase in global armed conflict, such as the rise of the islamic state terror group, as well as natural disasters such as volcanoes and earthquakes.. the lengthy article, written by an unnamed author, said: "will god let humans continue to dominate one another and threaten the future of mankind?
no, as we have seen, he will step in and bring an end to centuries of misery and oppression.

Finkelstein, excellent point. I also notice in that pic that no one is dirty. If you had just gone through massive destruction, I am pretty sure you'd be covered in crap. -

I got my Crapvention invite yesterday. It's in Kitchener, Ontario. Um, the gas money alone to drive there and back requires a small loan! If I was to stay for 3 days, there's food and lodging on top of that. Do these clowns not realize how much it costs to travel these days? -

In 2009, my Dad told me the reason the Big 'A' was sooo close was the bad economy. I guess the reasons change year over year.

How big of a problem is apostasy.
by joe134cd ini often wonder if apostasy could be defined as the "silent problem", as the majority who leave for this reason choose to fade saying nothing.
in all the decades i was a witness i could probably count on 2 hands those who were disfellowshipped for apostasy.i must admit it wasn't until i came on the internet that i fully realise the depth and extent of the problem.
i think of that young girl high school speech that went viral, and you can't tell me all those 300000+ views were all none jws.

I know this has nothing to do with 'apostasy' but with the aging Baby Boomer population, getting older, sicker, and subsequently dying is also another reason people leave and never go back. ;0)
