  Using the term "Watchtower" when talking to a JW

  by Sanchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone else noticed how alarm bells go off inside a jw mind as soon as they hear someone that "is out" refer to the leaders of this org as "watchtower"?

  i've chatted with a few friends now about my doubts and each and every time i've started using phrases such as "watchtower said this" or "watchtower did that", i can almost see their heads about to explode in anger, as if they've just realized they are talking to the lucifer himself.

  some have even interrupted and corrected me by reminding me that it's not "watchtower", it's "god's organization".

  I usually use the word "society." This seems to be more palatable when engaging in a discussion. It never occurred to me that the word "Watchtower" created such bad vibes. I wonder why?

  If Satan is real . . . . . . .?

  by Dunedain in

  lets try to think about this "logically", and i use that term loosely, because we are going to use jw "logic".. so, they say that satan is real.

  these are the last days.

  satan is "roaring about", like a lion, with him and his demons "trapped" within the confines of earth.

  I have been told that I am following Satan because of my withdraw from the Watchtower. Given that live has been pretty good since leaving the "truth," is all I can say is - God bless Satan. Good Job!

  So all the times we studied the Revelation book at the congregation book study was a waste of time. Wow!

  May 22 1969 Awake!

  "if you are a young person you need to face the fact you will never grow old in this system of things.. why not?

  because all the evidence in fulfilment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years...as a young person you will never fulfil any career that this system offers".

  may 22 awake!

  I was 12 years old when this was written. Words like this have an effect on people's lives. Shame on them!

  How Will Armageddon Begin?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  and how long will it last?

  and who will come after that, yahweh, as the old testament says or jesus, as the new testament says?

  the scriptures say he'll come to the mount of olives, but surely that's a spiritual mount of olives.

  There are many many very bad things that could happen to humanity. But these events will have nothing to do with the fulfillment of bible prophesy. They will be just events. If you hang around for 10 or 20 billion years, the fate humanity (if it even exists) will be far different than now.

  Why do the ladies love Jesus so much? Because he was hung and promises a second coming.

  What's the difference between Jesus and a picture of Jesus?

  It only takes 1 nail to hang the picture

  Is there any way I can recover the time I lost by reading these jokes?

  The 1914 doctrine: How long it will last?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one hundred years have passed and the society still supports this lie, which of course, is the basis of their other lies, like that of the unfaithful and not discreet slave appointed in 1919. however, i wonder, what will happen after 50 years, when the overlapped generation will pass?.

  and if you want, what will happen with this religion in 2100?, could it survive with the same lie??

  ?.

  There is no magic to changing the date. Simply change the date, or ignore what has previously been stated as truth. The faithful will always stick around - no matter what. The others, will eventually die. So, time heals all errors.
