  Critical Thinking-is that phrase a stigma?

  by PaintedToeNail in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first heard the term 'critical thinking' it was as a teenager during a watchtower study.

  the study went on to elaborate how we shouldn't be swayed by critical thinking.

  there was no explanation that the term didn't mean 'to criticize' thoughts and words, but rather that it means 'to objective think and to evaluate thoughts and words'.

  The Bible in Braille has always caused serious concern among mature Christians. For example: How long is it considered appropriate for a brother to let his fingers linger on the following sentence before it become "loose conduct"?

  This giant earthworm, unique to Gippsland, Australia, poses a potential problem to the doctrinal teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses. According to the current governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses the Gippsland earthworm migrated underground from Australia to the Middle East, or vice-versa, so as to be considered one of the animals on Noah's ark.

  Gotta love that "?WTFJWs" at the end of the article link.

  Was Jesus really a Jehovah`s Witness ? He never identified himself as such , in word or deed.

  by smiddy in

  2. beliefs

  also he never chastised the jews for not identifying themselves as jehovah`s witnesses following isaiah`s statement at ch.43 :10-12 , so many years before hand.. and he had ample opportunity to do so on numerous occasions .. jesus himself never used the divine name /jehovah or any other equivalent , in any of his sayings attributed to him by his contemporaries .. sure he acknowledged god as his father and that he did his fathers will , but he never acknowledged him by a personal name such as jehovah or anything like it.. and lets not forget acts 11:26 it was first in antioch that followers of jesus by divine providence were to be called christians , not jehovah`s witnesses,.

  smiddy.

  Jesus was a Jew who taught and encouraged blind obedience to the apostate teachings of Devil worshippers. This is highlighted in Matthew chapter 23.

  PROOF: "Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying ... all the things they tell you, do and observe." - Mat. 23:1-2

  This was Jesus instructing potential Christians that they must obey the teachings of apostates, i.e. the Pharisees of the day.

  Blind obedience to apostate teachings. No wonder the people supported the Pharisees in killing Jesus. They were told to.

  if you have the jw app running on your tablet, watch the latest (may) governing broadcast and hear tony the jackass, and when you get to 7 minutes and 44 seconds ...hit the pause button.. read the words at the bottom of the screen as per the jw app close captioning.. "well beyond the intent of the scriptures" .

  he is describing the governing body past, like the ghost of christmas past.

  with last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.

  damn it!!!

  The Law of Unintended Consequences

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the governing body/watchtower unduly influences millions into extreme beliefs and behaviors.

  and i suspect folks like anthony morris thinks his flock is not obedient or strict enough and there are many rules and teachings the governing body would love to enact but do not have the votes, or even they have the sense enough to know it would go too far.

  however, i can’t help how by the time their edicts filter down to the rank and file jw, it causes unintended consequences.

  The Grandfather paradox involves a time traveler going back into the past and killing his grandfather before he meets his grandmother. This then creates the situation in which the time travel is never actually born and therefore could not travel in time to kill his grandfather.

  Effectively this is what the current governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses have actually done. Using historical revisionism as the time machine they have traveled back in time and deleted the existence of the faithful and discreet slave class. This has then created a situation in which the faithful and discreet slave class never existed and therefore could never have appointed a representative governing body.

  You could always keep it simple and ask them to make a submission to the Charity Commission re: Watchtower.
