Why we cannot know who wrote the articles in WT & AW?

Sour Grapes

The JW's will always take the Watchtower writings over the Bible.
I had a friend at Bethel who used to write articles for the Watchtower.
He was not anointed, he was not full of holy spirit, and he would
have been considered an apostate while at Bethel if they knew how he felt.
Peoples lifes have been impacted and many have died because of what
has been written in the pages of the Witchtower.

During the public talk and WT study this Sunday, I noticed
that the titles Faithful Slave, Faithful and Discreet Slave,
and Governing Body were mentioned more than God's name
Jehovah. That must make Him proud! I also like how they
quote out of the Watchtower like it is Gospel. They will say
the September 1, 1998 Watchtower on page 20 paragraph 3

Sour Grapes

The brother who gave the public talk on Sunday said
that people who are not Jehovah's Witnesses are
blinded by Satan. That sure made me feel special.
When new ones get baptized, then they must have
been blinded by Satan before they became JW's.
I wonder what unblinded them? If it was God then
why not unblind millions of more people? JW's like
to think how special that they are and how every one
else is under Satan's control. He also mentioned the
danger of singing or humming Christmas songs now
that we are nearing the Christmas season.

Is Fantasy Destroying The Watchtower?
by metatron in
1. jw
2. friends
all religions involve a measure of fantasy.

we all need some fantasy and seek it out in movies, novels, video games or other forms of entertainment.

danger arises when fantasy dominates our lives and pushes practical matters out of the way.. when the watchtower was 'young' as an organization, it attracted a large number of people who were accustomed to hard work and dealing with the practical challenges of economic depression and war.

Thanks Met. Very good post.

Sour Grapes

You might be a Jehovah's Witness if you have never
blown out birthday candles.
You might be a Jehovah's Witness if when you think
about your summer vacation you think of the swimming
pool at the hotel where you will stay for the District Assembly.
You might be a Jehovah's Witness if you never played on
basketball, football, or soccer teams while you were in school.
You might be a Jehovah's Witness if you don't know what
a pine tree smells like in your house in December.
You might be a Jehovah's Witness if you have never been
to a R rated movie at a theater.
You might be a Jehovah's Witness if you have more suits
or dresses in you closset than casual dress clothes.
You might be a Jehovah's Witness if you quit a good paying
job because your employer required you to work overtime
on meeting nights.
You might be a Jehovah's Witness if when your were a child
you never got to watch cartoons on TV on Saturday mornings.
You might be a Jehovah's Witness if you would never ever
own a two door car.
You might be a Jehovah's Witness if you did not go to your
high school prom's.
You might be a Jehovah's Witness if you were offered a
college scholarship but turned it down.

Why do JW's pussyfoot around saying what Armegeddon really is?

jw's make armegeddon sound so sterile with statements like:.

"when god brings an end to this old system.

" "when jehovah.
Sour Grapes

ATJ,
You are so right about the "us versus them." JW's also do not have a very deep thought
process mechanism since all of their thinking is done for them, from what to wear and
what to eat, to what is permisable in the bedroom with husbands and wifes.
They think that God is going to wack 99.9% of the earths population and then at
last Paradise. One little problem, what is going to happen to all of the dead bodies?
Not counting JW children, each JW adult will get to bury about 2,000 dead people.
And then we have the problem of cleaning up all of the destruction that is so
well illustrated in the Watchtower mags without electricty. What happens when
we get tired of siphoning gas out of the gas stations storage tanks and we run
out of fuel. Get the picks and shovels out and go at it. I can hardly wait.
