  Is this doctrine still in in effect?

  by WasOnceBlind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so something i never knew was the fact jw's were taught that jesus is only the mediator for the anointed class and not for everyone.

  i only found this out after reading "crisis of conscience" and i was actually pretty shocked to learn so.

  if that is the case, when they pray why even bother saying the words "in the name of jesus christ we ask"?

  While not participants in the new covenant, these are beneficiaries of it. They receive forgiveness of their sins and are declared righteous as God’s friends. (Jas. 2:23; 1 John 2:1, 2) Whether we have a heavenly hope or an earthly hope, each one of us has good reason to appreciate Jesus’ role as the Mediator of the new covenant.

  Ahhh the beggers can't have it both ways .... if jesus is mediator ONLY for 144000 people, the remaining 8 billion do not have jesus as mediator! 144000 see themselves as mediators only to jw's, .....oh wait a minute, were they tortured & hung on a 'stake' for us? WT you can't have it both ways!

  worldwide security under the prince of peace

  This book I believe has the first mention of "Jesus is only mediator to anointed"! Not for the rest of mankind. Valuable because of that.

  "Worldwide Security Under the “Prince of Peace” pp. 10-11 “Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members.”

  Mike & Kim may need one of these for their research library.

  Also John Cedars may need one for his.

  Thanks for posting this message, in the exposure of WT, these books will make them eat their own words

  NEW LIGHT FROM SLO CIRCUIT OVERSEER "Warning, Blood on Doorposts", "The Couple who Missed One Meeting Died With Their Kids, Don't Miss Any!

  by Trailer Park Pioneer in

  2. bible

  sorry, i messed up before i could put the right title on this new light from our circuit overseer, his visit show's a great desperation in the organization's mindset, adding more anxiety and guilt to jws who already feel they don't measure up!.

  hi, i attended the circuit overseers visit and got really angry because our c.o.

  gave information coming from the governing body's chief apologists regarding "meeting attendance" and "the couple who missed one meeting and lost their entire family because they did not get the "411" when armageddon was coming!

  Help needed

  2. child-abuse

  as many of you on here will know, my sister and myself (along with others we know) were abused by a ms. .

  my first memory as a child was of abuse and i've had and still am suffering from the affects due to mental health problems.

  the abuser is now dead, but he was jailed for abuse of his own son previously so that nest of vipers will have known he was an abuser.

  Being shunned only increases my certainty that the WBT$ is a cult

  by punkofnice in

  2. beliefs

  well, i don't wanna rant too much but sometimes things cut you don't they.. a family member had a get together for the family, jw and non jw and of course i wasn't invited being da'd.. i understand why they couldn't invite me but it just made me think.

  in normal society this wouldn't happen.

  i'd have been there.. the shunning is so unnatural and damaging.

  Agree with you 100% ...........shunning is so damaging & completely RUDE! All it does is repulse me & show me what "loving" family are capable of. I will never trust them again! I might add that I am not da or df;d .

  "Keeping up with Jehovah's Chariot"

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  clarified understandings / new light of the past 7 years or so:.

  * the faithful and discreet slave is only the governing body and only since 1919.. * the faithful slave was appointed in 1919 by jesus but it will not receive its greater authority until the judgment of the sheep and goats.. * charles taze russell was not part of the faithful and discreet slave.. * there was no slave for 1900 years before 1919.. * there may not have been any anointed during those 1900 years, but it's possible there were a few.. * 1935 was not the cut-off date for the selection of the anointed-- this selection is still ongoing.

  * 1935 has no special biblical significance.. * 1918 has no special biblical significance.. * gog of magog is not satan, but is a coalition of nations, who may be ruled by the mysterious king of the north.. * there is no evil slave class.

  so, one of the kids on reddit posted this video - an evangelist trying to witness to guardians of the cart.

  (both sides are fairly respectful imo).

  The Religion Of Rejection - And Now That Includes Me

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  due to some recent developments i find myself in a new place, and at this point i've lost all of my family and fri....oh that's right, i never really had any friends in the organization anyway.

  just people that wanted something from me and a few people that i would invite to do things that occasionally said yes.

  the recent rejections of me got me thinking, so let's take a rejection inventory.. i had to reject all of the holidays when my parents started studying.. i had to reject any worldly friends that i already had.. even family became rejected, and the new religion had some place in that.. i was rejected in school and bullied all of the time, not just because we were poor and i made good grades, but for jw reasons too.

  Dubstepped ...... a warm welcome to you and your family. I hope they have opened their eyes too, you all deserve to be accepted & loved.

  Fantastic post ......never looked at this 'religion' under a microscope like you have done.... bravo and many thanks for the reveal. It is SICK for sure. I don't follow the bible now but the scripture comes to mind ....."get out of her my people"!!!!!

  I think what you have written is a classic.......... a keeper for sure! You might think further about how powerful your words would be to those still trapped in this cult and need to see this reality.

  Looking forward to your fellowship on here ....wishing you a peaceful mind and warm happiness in your dear heart.
