  2. beliefs

  on page 17 of the august 15, 1991 watchtower it says: .

  "in the year 1919... [the society ] came out of satans organization.... ".

  these are amazing admissions.

  i didn't know the wtbts had an order.

  anyone ever heard of the "order of full time servants" aka "the order" within the jehovah's witnesses?.

  (below is a legal document from the wtbts).

  If I understand things correctly, this "religious order" is some legal thing that needs to be taken care of when a person willingly works for a long time without pay. Then they can't be called slaves, nor can the WT be sued for slavery.  (the irony!!)

  Huh. Typical Bait & Switch.  They start by saying an elder can do much to help others, but then quickly define that as being "spiritual help & spiritual gifts". God forbid they ever do anything practical or truly charitable for anyone. 

  
  

  JWs are the kind of people who, if portrayed in the Good Samaritan story, would lay a magazine or tract beside the beaten man on the road, then step over him and continue on their way, all the while thinking that they had done a very great & compassionate  thing indeed.

  WTBT$/JW's = AMWAY/MLM Schemes

  by Darth Fader The Sequel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all of the wts tactics and procedures are based off of your most basic mlm (multi-level marketing) schemes.

  take your pick of amway, or any of the other vitamin or financial mlm's.

  they all work the exact same way.

  "All of the WTS tactics and procedures are based off of your most basic MLM (multi-level marketing) schemes. Take your pick of Amway, or any of the other vitamin or financial MLM's. They all work the exact same way. The power structure, phony hierarchy, silly name tags and graduated titles, public recognition of high achievers, special delegates to conventions and gatherings, exclusive meetings for high achievers, special publications for certain "leaders", hyperbolic testimonials....... everything. EVERYTHING IS AMWAY WITH THE JW's!!!"

  ...

  you know, this was one of the many things which helped wake me up. Our family joined "Melaleuca" and the similarities were so striking, I couldn't help comparing it to the JW meetings & all the things you mentioned above! The conventions and assemblies felt like big sales meetings. And when you met people, there was a sudden conflict of interest -- do you tell them about the Kingdom or do you tell them about Melaleuca?? lol

  it was all so silly.

  TECHNOLOGY and COMMUNICATION: a look back at Watchtower merchandizing

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  thousands of people in america were the beneficiaries of new inventions in technology in the 1870's.. the typewriter, the telephone, and the light bulb transformed something we may have never considered before.. communication was ramped up seemingly without limit for the first time in human history!.

  pastor russell's customers were simple folks frightened by monumental changes.. what did these rapid changes really mean?.

  pastor russell distilled everything down to the notion everything was understandable as signs of the end.. ____________________________.

  Of Pain, Growth, Change, and Moving Forward

  "did you not in your discontentment make supplication to the great void, and to the darkness, to bring forth the mighty storm that lays waste to all that stales and stagnates?

  did you not climb the treacherous mountain to witness the melting of snow?

  do not peals of blinding light illuminate your face?

  A picture of a WT dream

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  people stay jehovah's witnesses for several reasons.

  the foremost is because they are taught that they could cheat death and not have to die or even better yet not have to get old.

  the second is they can see their dead relatives again , who have a direct pass to paradise, and that we must obey to get there to see them in the resurrection.

  And why does Jesus have a damn white beard!?? If a person is perfect, he's supposed to never grow old, right??
