I wonder how long it will be until we hear about JW's helping only JW Haitians

Well, I think the Evil Empire's official press release pretty much speaks for itself.

So what's in it for the WTS?

by leec in

i'm still just trying to understand ..... what is the real essence of why the leaders at the very core of this religion do what they do?

i assume they are all in the 144k, so i get that.

but i mean ... that can't be the entire motivation for all this misery.

agonus

I'm sure that at least some of the GB actually believe in what they're doing, hard though that may be to fathom. And no, I'm not trying to be sarcastic.

NEW GENERATION DEFINED -- April 15, 2010 Watchtower

by Ultimate Reality in

from jw.org, here is the new definition of the generation from the april 15, 2010 watchtower.. .

article: holy spirits role in the outworking of jehovahs purpose.

13 third, holy spirit is at work in bringing bible.

Folks, I've come to a conclusion. The WT is doing this intentionally. Even THEY can't be this colossally stupid. They're testing the loyalty of the R&F. Expect more "sifting" to come as the insanity escalates. This is Endgame.

Watchtowers use of qualifying words

by donny in

the society loves the use of qualifying words, i.e.

"apparently", "logically", "evidently" and others.

here are some examples of scripture if the society had written them.. genesis 1:1- in the beginning god apparently created the heavens and the earth.. mark 15:34 - and at the ninth hour jesus cried out in a loud voice, "eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?

Forgive me. My Watchtowerese is a bit rusty. Forgot the qualifier:

CLEARLY, they never claimed to be prophets!

Blood Transfusions 101 for JW's

by moshe in

blood transfusions 101 for jw's-.

a blood transfusion will not save the life of a starving man = a blood transfusion is not food = a blood transfusion does not violate the ot law given by god to the jews to, "not eat blood" and that was later reiterated by the jewish christians to the gentile christians = the watchtower no-blood transfusion doctrine is a manmade abomination that kills innocent people = the watchtower society is guilty of promoting manslaughter.. .

agonus

Very little backlash? I think you kid yourself...

My point being, God/Jehovah may ask you to do some wack-ass crap sometimes, but he's not going to ask you to literally sacrifice your kids.

What I would like to see are the following statistics:

Number of JWs who have lost their lives as a direct result of refusing transfusions

vs.

Number of non-JWs who have died as a direct result of accepting transfusions of "contaminated" blood.

Oh, BTW - if you'll recall, God STOPPED Abraham from killing Isaac.

Demonism and the Watch Tower, by Roy D. Goodrich. Anyone seen this?

by VM44 in

in 1969 roy d. goodrich published a book, "demonism and the watch tower" that contains information about strange electronic medical devices used by "doctors" at brooklyn bethel.. it appears that rutherford himself supported and endorsed the use of these quack electronic devices that also had a tie in with occultic practices and beliefs.. roy goodrich complained so much publicly about these occultic devices being used at bethel that he was disfellowshipped!.

this book today is impossible to find.

has anyone here seen a copy of it?.

agonus

Yeah, it was something called an "electronic radio biola" I think... Sounds a little like an E-meter!

February 2010 Study Watchtower - Millions Now Living 'May' Never Die

by Marni Mai in

just noticed that in the february 2010 study edition of the watchtower, they refer to the "millions now living will never die" talk in 1918, but they have changed the title to "millions now living may never die".

only problem, they included the picture of the invitation to the talk, which says 'will'.. ooops.

it's on page 16. enjoy.. .

agonus

This sort of screw-up is happening more and more all the time. And it's getting more and more obvious all the time.

I ask again:

Are they REALLY that stupid and careless?

Or is this intentional pot-stirring (i.e. to gauge reaction)?

Thoughts?
