Should young children peddle Watchtower Society literature?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

one thing i always disliked about the watchtower society is how they use young children tp peddle their literature.

my mom insisted that my brother (12 years old) and i (9 years old) go out in field service every saturday morning.

didn't matter if it was 90 degrees or 20 degrees, we were out peddling watchtower magazines.

it was mild child abuse! R7R

if it is mild, can normal, heavy be far behind? The affront comes in to call it "worship"

the elders, ms, too see the kids' hours and placements as a means to bolster the numbers to get more privileges, as a means to get rewards : a part at a circuit assembly maybe? on the backs of kids' innocence.

It is one thing to want to show appreciation to your parents, father, another to have to peddle old light propaganda, thereby become the laughing stock of your friends, and enemies.

Can Jehovah's Witnesses explain the overlapping generation?

by pistolpete in

i found this interesting topic on the current views among jws regarding the overlapping generation.. the posts are hilarious.

how do most jehovah's witnesses explain the overlapping generation?.

i've asked a couple of jws to explain the overlapping generation and they directed me to the website jw------org.. either they don't know, or they do know but don't want to discuss it because they know it's bogus and embarrassing.. either way, surely they must know that this just extended the last days another 80 years from the time fred franz died.

wt writer conflated contemporaries, groups and generation into their post-1914 era amalgam.

to declare the anointed to be the only ones that count in the mass of humanity that lives since then, is their real mistake. because

Jesus said that the generation in question would pass away only after the end. after all has occurred. however,

wt writers maintain that the anointed will pass away way earlier, --to be battle ready for their role in Armageddon, ----pass heavenward at the onset of the great tribulation.

They are discussing "Samson" right now, It will not take that much power to collapse their wt temple ( way of worship). Their doctrines have such serious build in flaws, that just as a deck of cards, it is already wobbly.

based on circa 1914 generation being “the time of the end.” fm

that prophecy ot wt inc has been proved in several ways to be a false one.

why still trying to play variations on that old tune? generations of overlapping wt writers do not have the guts to take a fresh look at what really is of substance in the whole bible & tract enterprise. tragic at traction.

Consider too that once a JW gets up there is age where their life is sealed -- that is, no longer any chance of making much of the change in the course they are on -- they have to believe it is near or else admit they will die.

DOC, yeah, like today's text says : " You have convince yourself that --" in other words indoctrinate yourself, whether it is factual or not. because it is not, it will change .

interesting sub question: why do dyed in the wool watchtower watchers on their deathbed regret missing the great tribulation, A ?

because according to wt doctrine everybody dying will get to see the paradise anway, nothing new there, but , wt guarantees only that those living past 2075 might see the endgame.

wt believers might get an inkling what is up if they, listening to D. Splane*** would realize that he was actually promoting 2075 as the new end of the 6000 years with his overlapping super centenarians.

the 1975 - 2075, centennial. sponsored by: "wt centenarians for the centennial."

*** it would be Dr. D. Splane or even a PHD if that dissertation would be given at an institute of higher learning instead of the low key wt site.

We REAL JWs just think

DT. Israelites? anyway, with things coming up, 1914 could likely look like a picnic in the park, btw: 1941 with Barbarossa and Pearl Harbor was already, so:

easy,

just re-scramble the numbers, a watchtower specialty. 1914 1941

Commenting Ban?

by Iamallcool in

jw
friends

do you think the watchtower will ban commenting at the meetings one day?

if you are pimo, you might want to try to make some comments to make others think about the “truth”!

.

waton

the Bible reading was a talk with personal commentary. Over all there are less personal expressions at the meetings

Fm: That is where wt stands condemned for not being truly christian.

The Example Jesus, gave a bible reading and was allowed to comment on the material.

novodays , at wt meetings, silence after the reading. only the ladies are allowed to blabber. 1 Cor 14: 34-37.

the wt congregation of the unholy ones.

I'm happy about the increase

by StephaneLaliberte in

i know its weird to say something like this on this forum, but its how i feel about it.

i feel that way cause i see that covid has taken a tole on my dad who's growing older.

knowing that this will come as good news to him is somewhat comforting to me.

waton

the more an epiphany would hurt thinking

SL, the word L' Epiphanie brings back memories, of the 1950s, when we (as we know now) deludes zealots "worked " that town in Lanaudiere.

Another group of zealots with crowbars chased us out. (they had been working at re building their church)

"the love [for the truth] of the greater numbers will cool of" . may those beyond the capacity to face reality at least have that comfort of being given "a" for effort, have family, a good death, die satisfied.

God of WT - a kindly killer?

by Smiles in

this wt doctrine includes the wrathful mass execution of individual children, babies and disabled belonging to the billions of non-jws... extremist?

"during the war of armageddon, jehovah will execute people, not in a cold, clinical manner, but in a “great rage.” (read ezekiel 38:18.

) he will direct the explosive force of his anger, not against one army or one nation, but against countless individuals living across the globe.

waton

to rewrite this fiction: david should have said to the deity: "well, sorry I made this other mistake, I am ready to pay for it, but spare the population please, if not

we are going to make this atrocious offer public. write it into history [books], as part of your personality profile."

Many people die resulting from the errors of their leaders. If David cares for his people, he strictly needs to follow God’s direction.

It is sick stories like that, written solely to cow the readers into submission, that made it right for Costco to market their bibles under fiction.

Another example of how Watchtower are rewriting their own history.

by skin in

from today's daily wt text.. friday, december 31 2021.let your kingdom come.

let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.—matt.

6:10. christendom generally does not teach the scriptural truth that one day obedient humans will live forever on earth.

waton

But the Bible says that at some point in time people will survive a destruction and live forever

fm, where does it say that?

Math 25 says that the sheep (not the other sheep) will go of into everlasting life, but that can be heavenly too!

Rev 7 reports the great crowd (possibly the 12 tribes that wt says are the non-anointed) as saying: "We owe salvation), but their save place is mentioned to be heavenly, at least "spiritually" in front of the throne, the temple.

caria, wt mentioned it will take 7 years just to mark the carcasses,the skeletons for later burial, so we are talking decades. think the effort that Russia, germany went through,with a 10% loss, at the great A, only 1/ 1000 of the population will survive, according to wt statistics.
