  Why do some people who were trapped in the WT and wake up, still believe in the Bible God who allowed them to be deceived for years.

  why do some people who were trapped in the wt and wake up after much frustration and anger that they were lied to, still believe in the bible god who allowed them and their families to be deceived and trapped for years.

  i have an acquaintance who is a lot older than me and for the past 30 years he has been out of the watchtower religion and is sola scriptura.

  sola scriptura is a theological doctrine that posits the christian scriptures as the sole infallible source of authority for christian faith and practice.

  The bible, and by extension believers have a picture of the creator that is a caricature.

  and people love the comics.

  remember too, that if your wife is not acting her best, perhaps it is hard for her to understand the truth about the truth, It is stressful for her, but:

  she is not following watchtower or bible instructions. She is supposed to be extra nice to you. because you will be "sanctified" by her good conduct.

  so : help her doing that. The quest for the status quo.

  not endorsing just saying.

  Ds: to be fair, in the zoom "service" meetings letter writing sessions with kids, -- cards to new widows, elderly ones might be included, but

  counting time anyway, because the kid writing is not baptised.

  Such letter writing might actually teach the harassed child to lie. since the sentiment are not it's own, but wording dictated by the person on zoom that is the influencer, The young victim learns in this way, how detached one's expression can be from the what one really thinks, wants to do; It also, by being the victim, teaches this process to use later on others.

  Cruelty administered on the lower ranks by leading Nazi bullies (and others too) in training, could have easily, given the opportunity, lead to cruelty done by us. .

  Should I continue to help an "unbelieving" husband?

  by RiverPeace in

  i know there are a lot of 'wise heads' out there on this forum - so i would appreciate your suggestions.. several years ago, i studied with a guy, whose wife is a jw.

  (he had studied with several elders before i came along).

  the study went reasonably well.

  he does not need more munitions if he is not in a fight. His wife might have ways to intercept your messages. She just might want to keep her husband . He might just want peace,

  one letter writing session " service arrangement" by zoom is hardly ruining a childhood, but the idea that your good name is used to enhance, embellish the current wt doctrines, hidden even from adults, is offensive.

  A bad habit that could last a lifetime, even overlap into the next group.

  It is done without understanding by the child, without consent. often without authorisation by one of the parents. it is child exploitation, child labour. hopefully it will create a wider outrage.

  I is one thing to have a nice stroll in the neighbourhood of "not at homes" , trip to "unassigned territory" as a family, it is another to exploit indoctrinate innocents like that.

  connected with the generation timeline was also the concept ot the wt writers' "judgement period".

  To even the playing field, that doctrinal twist suggested, that anybody that died during a proclamation of impending doom by jws, you were on the spot subject to the current judgement terms, . even if you died before the judgement was executed, at the end, you were already a goner.

  No wormhole tunneling into the new world possible. your lifetime was vital.

  remember, it is just entertaining

  mf, of course it is entertaining and keeps our old brains spry, but according to wt, people will be judged to eternal condemnation on whether they agree with current wt doctrine or not, reject us at the doors, Now the phone.

  Our basic premise at the doors, 150 hours a month, was: you are wrong (doctrinally) and we are right. your choice wt&awake subscription or gehenna.

  Is not instant judgement in vogue again, not a delay to the great tribulation?

  Are parables literal or not?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  “bible illustrations [parables] have more than one aspect.

  they … often have a prophetic meaning and application.

  moreover, some had a prophetic meaning for the time when they were spoken or shortly thereafter, and some were to have, in addition, a fulfillment in the distant future.” (insight on the scriptures (1988), wtbts, vol 1, pp.

  Here is what JWFACTS had to say about the inspection in 1919:

  R&R great wtfacts. and their public front slogan was: " The world has ended, Millions now living will never die"

  May be the picking of them was right, they still are preaching amazing stuff like that.
