  How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.

  i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.

  i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.

  He's an apologist. I'm fairly sure, though certain he will deny it, he's involved in various apologist blogs. He claims he was "an exJW for 10 years", though if he is who I think he is, he was born into a JW fam, stopped attending mtgs in late teens and decided to "return" and get baptized as an adult. Hardly the description of an "exJW".

  though he did tell me he's here to "hold us accountable", lmao.

  It seems Bobby.. errr, I mean Doubter, is more entertained by exJW subjects than with the "spiritual food" provided by his divinely selected superiors. I don't blame him.

  Calm the heck down. Re read my post. I said “it stands to REASON”, meaning, you can draw a logical conclusion. I didn’t make a factual statement. I also used the word “probably”, meaning I am speculating. I am happy to admit that

  It's why I asked you to clarify your sources, which apparently were none other than your biased speculations. Having been shown that said speculations were wrong, I hope you will be just as "happy to admit" so.

  Doubter: For those trying to prop up the Mormons and SDAs for their alleged giving back, it stands to reason that social programs are being funded by the government, not tithes:

  That statement seems to be nonfactual. None of the links you provided show any statistic regarding the funding source for charitable arms of said churches. The church itself says none of the funding for it's charity comes from government grants. LINK: https://www.ldscharities.org/pages/about-us

  Please clarify your sources

  What prevents JWs from getting that same federal money and actually helping people?

  What do you mean?? Money, hospitals, schools, food banks, soup kitchens, orphanages ... those things don't REALLY help people dubstepped. The good news in the publications, that's what truly helps.

  Does Disfellowshipping only prohibit spiritual contact with a DF family member or friend?

  by Isambard Crater in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  all through my life, now in my 40's, i've seen df people get completely shunned by family and friends, but an ex elder showed me the stfog book that says it's just spiritual contact that stops.

  so what's the crack?

  i'm mega confused, as i want to go p.o.m.o or ideally da but don't want to loose family..

  excellent video from theramin tree's.

  it's funny that we can relate entirely to the jw's in this.

  Great video! His arguments for the absurdity of the JW teacher/classroom/rebellious student analogy might come in handy when conversing with a PIMI

  Bethelites Vow Of Poverty

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  former governing body assistant howie tran has shared his bethel vow of poverty contract.

  it reads rather culty.

  i think clause number 9 is particularly worrying...to adhere to, not the bible alone, but also the watchtower literature and the governing body.

  I'm surprised they didn't mention anything about pillows in that list.
