Watchtower is Run Like the Mafia

by Sea Breeze in

anybody else notice this?

the have a syndicate (governing body) regional bosses (district overseers), captians (circuit overseers), and elders are their "made men" that enforce policy at street level.

if you run your mouth too much, they wipe out your whole family (disfellowshipping).

JW's are NOT connected to the WTBTS....

by BoogerMan in

.....just as gerrit losch of the g.b.

claimed he has nothing to do with it - or vice versa.. i suppose that's why him & his jw g.b.

cronies assume total control of the wtbts annual meeting every year - because they're totally separate from each other!

The GB / JW speak with a forked tongue , IMHO .

Parting Letter

by Konagirl in

a friend of mine was compelled to reach out to as many members as possible in her congregation, by sending them the following letter that i would like to share.. to my brothers and sisters,.

i’m sure you’ve realised by now that something isn’t quite right with me as i haven’t been around in months.

the truth is i have been going through a crisis and the last few months have been the hardest time of my life.

smiddy3

An excellent read ,using the scriptures and those who believe the bible to be true.

Every Jehovah`s Witness should have a copy of this letter.

If possible.

Thanks for sharing this Konagirl

Talked to JWs Today at a Cart Stand

by Sea Breeze in

jw
friends

they were positioned in a walk way and i had to go right pass them.

i tried to keep walking but my legs went straight to them like they had a mind of their own.. they pointed to john 17:3 on how to get saved.

1 peter 3:18. .

smiddy3

I must remember this the next time I get a chance to talk to the JW`s Luke 16:19 - 31.

I like that.

Good point.

If I`ve got this right ?

1st Q.

Do you or your religion believe when you die ,you still exist in the hereafter ? Without or before any such resurrection ?

Answer : No

Then why did Jesus not refute that in Luke 16 : 19-33?

He seems to agree with it ? yes ?

While I don`t believe the Bible about GOD or other religions about a GOD ,I do wonder ?

by smiddy3 in

i do wonder about the universe as we know it .

it does boggle my mind ,and how such a variety of life does exist on this planet ,from the microscopic to the most advanced life forms.. in such an abundance .?.

and then looking out there in the universe the multitudes of stars like our sun and planets exist that we have no knowledge of boggles my mind .. so ,maybe i am spiritual in some sense..

mentally ill/delusional or con artist?

by enoughisenough in

maybe this has been discussed in the past and i wasn't here... what do you think?

are the gb members knowingly pulling a con, or do they have delusions of grandeur?

i will go out on a limb here to say that i think they are con artist.

smiddy3

I think there is an art to lying to oneself and the GB have mastered it.

They believe what they are saying is true because they want to believe it.

Not because it is a fact ,which it isn`t.
