  Huh.  They always use (mis-use) the prodigal son parable.  Where was it stated in that parable that the erring son must wait a year or so and then write a letter? Bah.  

  
  

  And did you notice, in that same WT, there is a whole article about MALAWI and the intense (but totally needless!!) persecution that happened to JWs in the 1960's and 70's. If anyone is familiar with Ray Franz's book, Crisis of Conscience, you will know all about that muck-up and duplicity and double standards which the org could have prevented but did not.  

  
  

  Shame, shame on them!  :(

  Funny accidental comment made by a public speaker! (Lord of the rings)

  the public speaker today made a funny mistake while reading this scripture: matthew 19:6.

  6 "so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

  therefore, what god has yoked together, let no man put apart.. but the funny things was, it sounded like he said:.

  NEW LIGHT ALERT! TARGET 2015 END TIMES! EVE WAS CREATED 40 YEARS AFTER ADAM! THE END IS NEAR!

  by Trailer Park Pioneer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is going around the kingdom halls now, i thought it was a hoax but are not all the end time dates produced by the organization some hoax or con?

  the reason why the end did not come in 1975 was the watchtower society had not put eve's creation in their equation.

  i was told when we had a "meet and greet" if "we knew the date of eve's creation we would know the year jehovah was going to destroy the earth.. it's been 40 years since 1975, can you believe it's been 40 years since "stay alive till 1975!"?

  Hoser - on why 40 years - well, in some of the WT publications, mention is made that 40 years seems to be a biblical precedent for maturity (spiritual maturity) and development.  Eg: the Israelites wandering in the desert for 40 years, Moses hanging around with the Midianites for 40 years before he encountered the burning bush.... Jesus fasting for 40 days.... It all makes perfect sense, you see.

  The Witness of the Food Pyramid

  by processor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the witness of the food pyramidrevised reprint from the witchtower, 12/2010the ... pyramid ... proves to be a storehouse of important truth.

  millennial dawn, volume iii, thy kingdom come, page 314. as is commonly known, pastor russell thought that the great pyramid of gizeh was gods stone witness, corroborating biblical time periods.

  (jehovahs witnesses proclaimers of gods kingdom, page 201) he believed that it would have been erected by melchizedek according to a divine construction plan.

  VOW OF OBEDIENCE AND POVERTY

  2. scandals

  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.
