  I was very surprised, although I guess I shouldn't have been, at the run-around Watchtower gave this woman. It was just like any 'worldly' organization that has something to hide.

  - A 'named child safeguarding officer' who won't give his name?

  - A 'trained child safeguarding officer' that won't say what his training consists of?

  - A 'written child safeguarding policy' that they won't mail out to anyone who requests it by phone?

  - Basic questions regarding what a 'child sexual predator' is that they won't answer?

  They claim to be 'God's mouthpiece of truth to all mankind,' but apparently that is just a nice thing Jehovah's Witnesses say about themselves. This phone call revealed lots of secrecy, but no truth.

  I thought Watchtower would have been better than this.

  The father and daughter seem to be in sharp disagreement with the Governing Body on field service.

  Anthony Morris III recently explained that he 'didn't enjoy getting up early to go to field service,' that it took 'endurance' because of all the not-at-homes and offensive people, and that he does it because 'it's something we all have to do.'

  (See this thread, www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/230694/1/Anthony-Morris-III-publicly-admits-that-he-doesne28099t-enjoy-Field-Service)

  But the the father and daughter say it's 'fun' even for little kids.

  Father @ 3min 45sec: Field service is enjoyable and "most of our children love going out."

  Daughter @ 4min 9sec : "It's fun, we go out in the sunshine, we make fun out of it for the little kids picking flowers along the way."

  Anthony Morris III acknowleges that field service is not enjoyable, that it takes endurance, and that we have to do it. But the video says it's about fun, sunshine, and picking flowers.

  The daughter says she isn't brain washed, but can you imagine a more brainwashed remark than saying field service is fun?

  But according to the OP he made reference to the "brothers."

  ...well it’s not me they need to worry about, it’s my Big Brother, THAAATS who they better worry about. Yeh, hmm, we had to pray for those brothers over there, (LAUGHS).

  He could have meant that they 'prayed for the brothers over there' because they suffered the same thing he did, but that wouldn't be a laughing matter, and he did add the LAUGHS. It comes across as if they were 'praying for the brothers' because they were going to have to face big brother.

  Am I missing something?

  Anthony Morris III publicly aired his differences with a branch? This brings a couple of things to mind.

  1) What happened to the world wide unity that Jehovah's Witnesses are always bragging about? This dispells that whole idea.

  2) I very much agree with Splash. Isn't it possible that some of the branch officials might also be of the anointed, therefore have the same "big brother?" What is Morris claiming, that 'my big brother likes me best?'

  The humility of Anthony Morris III is underwhelming, but it reveals the true nature of the Governing Body.

  did a seventh grader have a better grasp of her beliefs than the modern day governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.

  she stood her ground: a childs conscience made america a better place september 13, 2014 12:00 am.

  Justice Robert H. Jackson summed up the controversy brilliantly: “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion or other matters of opinion, or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.”

  How sad that Watchtower's Governing Body does not practice the same high ideals.

  i've been doing some research about famous witnesses.

  some were raised and eventually left, while others came in as adults.

  they range from sports players, musicians, and entertainers.

  (I didn't see this one on Terry's list.)

  Danielle Colby, star of History Channel's American Pickers.

  Wikipedia says,

  " Danielle Colby was born in Davenport, Iowa . She was brought up into what she called "a very loving but strict household" of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She has stated that her interest in burlesque dancing started at around 10 to 12 years old."

  Sooo....probably not active.

  As I read through these silly teachings I am comparing them with another WTS belief, that Jehovah's Witnesses are....

  'God's spokesman, God's mouthpiece, God's channel of communication to all mankind.' Really? Okie dokie.

  This religion has been crazy from day one.

  Untheocratic!

  by Atlantis in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how can it be said that gods visible organizationwas made strictly theocratic or was fully theocratic in structure by 1938, when there are revisions and changes from time to time in organization instructions?.

  .. first of all, we must recognize what is meant when we say gods visible organization was made strictly or fully theocratic.

  the term theocracy means god rule or rule by god.

  Being "made strictly theocratic" by God is one of the many nice things Jehovah's Witnesses say about themselves.

  If the Governing Body Told You They Love You All Very Much, What Would Your Reply Be?

  by steve2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in a letter in the 2013 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses, the governing body sign off with the words, "we love you all very much".

  these words were later echoed by one of the governing body in an address to french jehovah's witnesses in july this year.

  these words sound so marvellously compelling and heartfelt - goosebump inducing, even.. imagine the governing body wrote these words to you or expressed them to you in person- yes to you reading these very words.

  No you don't. You love only one thing...A human based, man made religious organization. Anything else you say is nothing more than a self-serving sales pitch.
