based from many of the doctrines the wts has come forth with since its existence as publishing house which were obviously incorrect or false and propagated doesn't make you wonder why there were so many who embraced this organization with full devotion and acceptance ?
even back in the late 1800's there was scrutinizing skepticism to what the leaders of the wts theologically taught.
millions of people since then have accepted the teachings of a really couple novice bible theologians, who brought forth many weakly supported doctrines such as and concerning that mankind was living in the end times and all of mankind should be prepared for its imminent destruction.. very view other christian based faiths from catholicism or protestantism have made these kind of outlandish doctrinal assertions and they make up an overwhelming greater amount of practicing theologians, to those who achieved a high a level of academic training in bible theory.
Why have there been so many people blind to the corruption of the Watchtower Corporation ?
Watchtower is Built on Corruption..

it really stands out to me just how phoney the bonds of forced brotherhood are.
the smiles are paper thin when they see each other in hotels.
the laughs forced.

The conversation shallow and cult approved.
all they did was invite us to a convention on the other side of town in mid-july.
my husband tried to engage them and asked where he could send them some information.
they showed him the address for the convention center across town-yeah, they are going to get it there.
they could at least be honest and tell him that they will never see anything that he sends to the assembly hall.

shunning is unjust because say the problem is with 2 people let's say it's fraud against another person.
now 8 million people are brought into the problem by also shunning the one person that the 8 million must also shun do you see how stupid that is..

My Issue With the Kingdom Melodies
The issue is that anything that gets churned out of the Borg is devoid of any life or soul.
i was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.
as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.
now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.
The 1975 Generation---are they still around?

just been thinking about the "persecution" video where the modern day "job" loses everything.
here's an alternative narrative.. instead of turning down the salary job in the next town over, our hero takes the job even though it's a tough commute.
he is still able to contribute in a meaningful way to his "ministry.
Even when I was a full in Witness I used to have opinions on this that were exactly like the ones above.
Like the pioneer sister who drives around on bald tires and then when she has a flat, blames Satan.....millie210
I had a car full of JW Woman,in the field service..
Drive out to my ranch in the middle of no where..
In the worst piece of crap vehicle you could imagine..
Guess where the car dies?.....Right in the ranch driveway..
Now I can either keep the JW Woman as Slaves..(Nobody knows where they are..)..LOL!!..
Or..
Fix the car and get rid of a car full of JW Woman,all Talking at Once..
"BLAH..Blah..blah..blah"
Considering not one of them was ever going to stop talking and they were scaring the local wildlife..
Fixing the car was my only option..

observations: if man is merely a machine and the universe is merely a mechanism .... if men were only machines, they would react more or less uniformly to a material universe.
individuality, much less personality, would be nonexistent.. materialism reduces man to a soulless automaton and constitutes him merely an arithmetical symbol finding a helpless place in the mathematical formula of an unromantic and mechanistic universe.
but whence comes all this vast universe of mathematics without a master mathematician?
Outlaw, the thread is an observation based on reason and logic. I thought that’s what nonbelievers are fond of......OLI
There`s nothing reasonable or logical about the OP..
It arrives at conclusions with no evidence..And if me posting mere observations based on reason and logic would cause a nonbeliever to crucify believers who had nothing to do with this thread, then you are adding fuel to the idea that nonbelievers lack genuine morality.
There`s crazies on both sides of the fence..Believers/Non Believers..
They`re both extremely prejudiced against "Anything" outside their narrow beliefs..
A person who would do that is no different than the primitive Hebrews concept of God whom you so readily condemn.
