  JARACZ OBITUARY

  2. friends

  so the wts finally got around to writing about him in the november 15, 2010 watchtower.

  if you read about his "sincere interest in others was shown by his deep concern that all be treated fairly and mercifully", you may think they have the wrong person!.

  "High-Control Groups"

  by Consfearacy in

  http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/similar-religions-to-jehovahs-witnesses.php .

  "it is important to understand that in most bible-based cults, although the member is aggressively taught doctrine, it is not the doctrine that holds him in the group.

  it is the sense that the group is god's true people, a feeling cultivated by techniques of mind control.

  Inspired vs spirit-directed: what's the difference?

  by keyser soze in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember asking this question to couple of elders who came to visit me.

  i had pointed out their failed prophecies, and the fact that they were constantly making corrections in their publications, and how this proved god wasn't really behind it.. they went into the usual song and dance about how the gb were simply imperfect men, and never claimed to be infallible.

  i reminded them that the bible writers were also imperfect men, and yet the bible supposedly was infallible.

  Watchtower says: Jesus is a FALLEN ANGEL

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower society teaches that jesus is a fallen angel!.

  back in the days of charles taze russell, the watchtower society correctly taught that abaddon/apollyon from revelation chapter 9 was satan or a demon (because the bible describes him as a fallen angel of the abyss who is in control of all of the demon/locusts):.

  the finished mystery (1917):.

  Inappropriate - Sick - WT & Awake articles over the years.

  2. beliefs

  i remember as a kid reading an article - not sure if watchtower or awake - which terrified the life out of me!

  i remember thinking at the time "ok, this may be true, but i'm just a kid, i shouldn't be reading this!".

  some of the details remain imprinted on my mind decades later.

  How does GOVERNING BODY receive "NEW LIGHT"?

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just how does the governing body of jehovah's witnesses receive their "insight" or "understanding" of the bible, in order to publish this "spiritual food at the proper time" in their watchtower and awake magazines and all their books?.

  let's find out -- from their own publications -- exactly how this happens:.

  "spirits of the dead" brochure (1991), page 18:.

  the anointed do not have more bible understanding than the great crowd!.

  the watchtower, june 15th, 1996, page 31:.

  the other sheep today perform the same preaching work as the remnant, under the same trying conditions, and manifest the same faithfulness and integrity.

  UN & NGO - PRO-WT Apologetics is TOP HIT on Google search!

  by Essan in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i typed in 'watchtower ngo' into google search the other day and was shocked to see that the top result was for a pro-wtbts site called 'jehovahsjudgement'.

  i'm very disappointed by this because it means that one of the first sites jw's searching for the truth about the society's involvement with the un are going to come across is this deceitful apologetics page which tries to make it seem like the society affiliating with the un is no big deal and perfectly acceptable!.

  this pro-wtbts site is successfully debunked by a response site - http://jehovahsjudgmentexposed.blogspot.com/ - which takes apart their excuses and manipulative deceptions fairly expertly, but still, this site doesn't appear when you do a google search and i had to look really hard to find it.
