  Thanks SBF - I'll keep that in mind.

  Thanks for the correction Richard - I was eager to share the good news!
  

  On page 20:

  "Keep in mind that Satan does not want you to think clearly or reason things out well. Why? Because propaganda “is likely to be most effective,” says one source, “if people . . . are discouraged from thinking critically.”"

  LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

  Does the WTBTS Writing Committee ever think critically?

  Thanks for the minus. I'll take it as a compliment.

  I'm only accurately quoting the "faithful slave's" directive to stick to the org - no matter what disgusting things the media reveals in the coming months!

  2. experiences

  "what man among you with 100 sheep, on losing one of them, will not leave the 99 behind in the wilderness and go after the lost one until he finds it?

  " - luke 15:4. disclaimer: by posting the following observations i am not complaining.

  i am happy to be left alone.

  Doubtfull - some of the realities we faced when we left the org are hurtful, but the blessings often far outweigh what initially hurt us. I wish you and yours greater contentment in your new life.

  "A friend [when you are] in need, is a friend indeed!"

  A J.W. when in need, becomes a troublesome liability - one to be avoided at all costs.

  In every congregation I've attended, it was the same scenario.

  So much for the hallmark of true Christians! (John 13:35)

  Considering the huge political problems which the Kremlin has on its plate, does anyone know the motive & who is behind this campaign to liquidate this apparently inconsequential cult in Russia? Who will gain from it?

  Maybe Putin has more intel about the POTUS's son-in-law's dealings with the WTBTS than we do! :)

  Not Inspired, Not Infallible

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it occurred to me this morning while one the train to work that jw's, including my family, use the following weasel phrases to excuse the errors they've made over the years:.

  "god uses imperfect men".

  "jesus didn't say he'd give perfect spiritual food".

  "God uses imperfect men", "Jesus didn't say he'd give perfect spiritual food", "The GB are neither inspired, nor infallible", "There are some who are corrupt but Jehovah will sort out his organization".
  

  Spot on Pale Emperor! I was discussing these J.W. "justifications/conversation stoppers" with Mrs. Searcher recently, as well as the one at the top of their list, "No other religion is fulfilling Matthew 24:14, so that proves that we are God's people."

  If they do a Google search, they'll find out differently.
