my elder brother made the mistake of telling me about the wts policy of theocratic warfare.
he first called it 'lying for the truth' then he tried to tone it down to theocratic warfare.
he justifies this position by citing the scriptures that say do not throw pearls to the swine for they will trample them under foot and tear you to pieces.. my question is .
How could we survive lest the WTS save us from ourselves?
once the idea of "keeping" the R&F in the truth is more important than truth itself the GB can justify saying anything and sleep just fine
ray franz touched on this in CoC, to paraphrase:"if we let the sheep decide for themselves who knows how far they'll take it" or something like that
i am grateful for holy spirit's ability to dredge up long-forgotten spiritual gems that lurk in dark caverns of the mind.. it has been revealed -- for your edification and enlightenment -- that the resurrected anointed among the symbolic 24 elders do, indeed, play a vital role in the new but typically confusing developments in the world of jw theology.. in the much revered but oft maligned book, "revelation: its grand climax at hand!
" we discover the reason behind it all:.
] resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.
Leaving quietly
On top of that the 144k wasn't even all born yet in 1914 so the unborn 144k were somehow there and singing to their unborn selves???
jw.org is the fastest growing media outlet in the world, our local cobe said we are going to take the media from satan's wicked world!
repent before it's too late and come back to the kingdom hall with all your loving brothers and sisters!
you won't find happiness without jehovah's organization and you know it!
Only Jehovah's people have true happiness without the debilitating anxiety and fear the World inflicts on you. While others are suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, over-use of antidepressants, Jehovah's Organization keep's it's membership busy
jw's have all those problems too
friends:.
doug mason needs no introductions here.
we all know him to be an excellent writer, such as: blondie, terry, jwfacts, barbara anderson and countless others on this board.. doug is asking for assistance on a new project he is working on to explain in terms easy to understand, the changes the watchtower now expects jehovah's witnesses and others to believe.. your expert knowledge on these subjects such as: 144,000, great crowd, order of special full time servants, and governing body would be greatly appreciated.
my mom called me yesterday to ask how i was doing.
i hadn't seen her in a while, so it was nice to hear her voice.
we went through the motions of jw small talk and then she started telling me about her co visit from last week.
It's probably just the COs way of pumping up the great tribulation
this would alter their way of worship
the GB would never admit or say anything that would shine a light on law suits, pedo cases, income, wealth, etc.
i know dubs are delusional.
i know dubs don't reason well.
i know dubs are a bit off, like many groups.
It's very obvious the GB has the R&F doing research and comments about the organization instead of the bible
the sheeple's blinders are narrowing focus solely to the organization and anyone not spending hours per week on JW.org will not feel a part of the group
typical cult tactic
the hlc was established after i left the jws.
here in canada, the hlc was piloted back in the early 70s and that is when i had a personal encounter with the men in white shirts and shiny black shoes who took away my right to make medical decisions.. i am not very familiar with the internal doings of the hlc, other than that they hold the jw patient's life in their hands.. when the hospital liaison committee becomes involved in a jw patient's health care, what type of information is sent to the watchtower headquarters, and does the watchtower society receive copies of the patient's medical records?
if so, does the society maintain a database/library of historical medical cases that the hlc has been involved in?
They will ask you to make copies of your records
theyll inform you that they have to provide these to you if you ask to see them and then to provide these to the HLC
they asked me too but I just ignored it and they stopped asking
thry kept asking me to introduce them to the dr's but I persisted that I wanted them at "arms length"
this was the phrase they used
any response good or bad from any Dr was recorded they took notes on every word I said
the 2015 school setup, discussed this week eliminates the last "school talk" by brothers in favour of 'demonstartions" (a la sisters conversations) of family worship sessions and the like.. is this not a shift away from encouraging bright young ones to hone their (under-estimated) speaker skills ---to.
now using more of the die-hard, org-bound, --even elders in indoctrination demonstrations?.
do you see this trend?
The GB are so out of touch with reality, they don't have a clue what teenagers want or need
I think it's the opposite. The last 2 decades have seen an enormous majority of youth abandon the BOrg as teenagers and young adults
the GB is reacting out of necessity. They have to retain youth and more specifically young men
without them they will bleed dry. We will see the results of this in about 10 years time.
with all the terrible things happening on this earth, i bet most witnesses feel that jehovah god has to step in..
Isis is the king of the north
hey guys!
here's what i found to be the best way (for me at least) to debate jw's without earning the laber of apostate.
this is mostly valid when debating jw's that don't know you personally, but it could help with those that do too.
I like your approach, but cloak it aa a reason why householders reject god
as if it's something JWs need to overcome
then you can point out all kinds of discrepancies that "stumble" those silly worldly people
