gb member sanderson has given a hate speech in response to the recent russian ban.
it was given as a morning worship rant.
sanderson sports his usual smirk.. he opens up quoting matthew 10:22, 23 about persecution.
Overlapping persecution.
the watchtower announcing jehovah's kingdom:.
"1914--the generation that will not pass...wait a minute.
"who really is the messiah?
Reading the Watchtower magazine has been known to induce the same effect.
we all know that the society claims that jesus invisibly chose the bible students (forerunners of jw) in 1919 to be his organization here on earth.. yet, as we know, so much of what they then taught and did was wrong according to current teaching and practice.. the reply witnesses will give is something like "they were the most sincere seekers of truth blah blah...and jesus could see their potential".
so, pretend for a moment that the current organization and the 1919 organization were both in concurrent existence at the time he invisibly came to choose.... which would he choose?
the current or former?.
Seriously ... North Korea. It's identical to the Watchtower Society but with weapons.
Not so seriously ... Whatever Jesus chooses Jesus loses.
we might have a fully functional community from this forum.
Vampire hunter. The governing body wouldn't stand a chance.
jw believe that jworg is the best website and most translated in the world.. i heard this today in streetservice.
there was already a thread about this subject.
anybody can link it?.
jehovah has come nowhere near the number of bible translations that satan has supervised.
"The Bible has been translated into many languages from the biblical languages of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. As of September 2016 the full Bible has been translated into 636 languages, the New Testament alone into 1442 languages and Bible portions or stories into 1145 other languages." - Wikipedia
“there may be occasions when it would be good for us to reconsider a choice or decision.
it could be when the prevailing circumstances change.
jehovah altered his decision at times when circumstances changed.
It is now acceptable for a JW to decide to 'reconsider his decision.' This also means that it is acceptable for a JW to decide to reconsider his decision to 'reconsider his decision.'
Overlapping decisions.
this morning my brother and my mother (whom i mentioned in my previous topic when we had a conversation about evolution) visited a jehovah's witness, and when they returned, they returned with the awake!
magazine that they received from the witness.
the magazine is entitled, "is the bible really from god?
Bertrand Russell sumed up religious belief with his teapot:
“If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.”
there is alot if press here in australua on the royal commission about child abuse in the jw faith.
however that is just one type of abuse, abuse can be physical or mental, we tend to forget about the various types of mental abuse in the jw faith.
my story is not unique and apologies for grammar etc.. my father and mother emigrated to perth australia many decades ago when i was very young.
In Case Study 54 earlier this year Justice McClellan and the ARC explained to Watchtower and the JWs that their mishandling of child abuse amounted to more abuse of the victim. This secondary abuse is carried out under strict instructions from the GB and includes shunning, theocratic warfare, denying of wrongdoing, refusal to apologise, and the victimising of victims and tbeir family. It would not surprise me that the secondary abuse is also included in the redress scheme.
