Why Is This New Batch of Governing Body Members So Stupid?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

well there are lots of reason for sure, denial, delusion, wishful thinking, ego maniac, infantile understanding of ancient writings, satanophobia, xenophobia, out of touch with reality, limited choices scrapping the bottom of the barrel,and many more.. listen to this ted talk and see if you can pick out something that helps explain why these guys are such ass holes:.

organizations are often run according to the superchicken model, where the value is placed on star employees who outperform others.

and yet, this isnt what drives the most high-achieving teams.

This is like calling the executives running cigarette manufacuring companies stupid.
They're not stupid, they're amoral, unethical GENIUSES.

It's the stupid brainwashed 8 millions idolators that adore them and obsequiously hang on every utterance from their white-washed mouths who are the stupid suckers, in the same way that untold millions of cigarette smokers are the suckers.

You may have a point. What better way to prove you're a genius than by continuing to keep an organization alive that is made up of nothing but obvious lies. It's like selling the Brooklyn Bridge over and over and over to the same guy.

What started me on the path to waking up about the lies the WT teaches?

by oppostate in

it was a simple question: isn't jesus my "mediator" if i put faith in him like the scriptures say?

the research to that answer, from the w79 4/1 p. 31, was mind blowing.

how dare they deny me a belief firmly stated in the scriptures?

Are Jehovah's Witnesses Sociopathic Liars ?

by Finkelstein in

the sociopathic liar beware of this dangerous sociopath.

the one behavior that characterizes the human race is so widespread that most of the time we dont even notice it.

it is extremely hard to spot and it is even harder to stop.

John Aquila

On first impressions, you may find you actually like or are drawn to the sociopath. It’s not surprising as more often than not they are indeed charming and likable. Watch out, these type of liars can cause untold damage and mayhem once they lead you into their web of lies and deceit.

You just described every Circuit Overseer I've met.

Recession will hit WT money flow as there will be less donations and much of the real estate won't be worth much. Some sales were KH were postponed after 2008 recession due plunging values. In Prague, the local bethel suppose to be sold in 2009 after its closure, but collapse of the real estate prices and weakening Czech crown made this sale less profitable. The branch sale was postponed indefinitely and what I have heard because the value is less than was six years ago.

That's a good thing. It's called the good new that will be preached worldwide!

Has any apostate ever lied at a JC about being apostate?

friends

i watched/ listened to the brave and courageous souls on youtube who bravely recorded their jc's.

you really see a different and horrid side to the elders there.

it might sound whimpy but i don't think i would be able to stand strong like those guys did.

I refuse to be called or accept that I am an apostate. I know some here wear the title like a badge of honor or courage, but I find the label offensive, childish, mid-evil age and all around despicable. In order for you to be an apostate, they would first have to have truth on their side. They are the ones who have protected pedophiles, engaged in false prophecy, implemented harmful, Pharisaical policies etc.

Good point!

Did Jehovah really order the excution of men, women, and children in the land of Canaan?

by John Aquila in

i been researching information on why the the conquest of canaan could not be a real historical account.

i found this on barts blog:.

when considering the historicity of the narratives of joshua, the first thing to re-emphasize is that these are not accounts written by eyewitnesses or by anyone who knew an eyewitness.

Jews have a totally different understanding of that text from Daniel. We don't even include Daniel as one of the books of the prophets,

Thanks for that info, much appreciated

Thanks for your comments Crazyguy

Thanks for your explanation.

How do the Jews feel about the prophecy in Daniel regarding the Messiah. Do they feel it will still be fulfilled in the future?

(Daniel 9:24-26) . .

There are seventy weeks that have been determined upon your people and upon your holy city, in order to terminate the transgression, and to finish off sin, and to make atonement for error, and to bring in righteousness for times indefinite, 25 And you should know and have the insight [that] from the going forth of [the] word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until Mes·si′ah [the] Leader, there will be seven weeks, also sixty-two weeks. 26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Mes·si′ah will be cut off, with nothing for himself.. . .

Unlike Fundamentalist Christian religion which demands the Bible be a literal account, Jews view their Scriptures much like Americans view their historical legends.

How do Jews view the book of JOB? What does it teach? I know it is not a literal account.

It is highly illogical to judge the texts of the Jews by the interpretation of Gentiles who hold the same Jews as incapable of understanding their own texts

LOL!
