  Well, I guess the WTS won't need to renew that library card this year

  My Dad wants to study with me

  by BlackWolf in

  so my parents continue to pester me about getting baptized.

  the other day my dad told me that i was old enough to make a decision, and was wondering why i wasn't ready (assembly is in a few weeks) so i told him calmly that i have many doubts and if i were to get baptized it has to be 100 percent my idea.

  he was a little annoyed by this, and now wants to study the "is there a creator that cares about you" book (which is complete bs) with me.

  Dad: Son, let's study together

  Son: Sure, Dad! Let's start in Genesis chapter 1

  Dad: Well, I was thinking of studying [insert current WT study book here]

  Son: But, Dad - that's studying [that] book, not the Bible. Let's read and study the Bible. We can use [that] book for reference, along with other reference material. This way we're really studying the Bible. This should be fun! [hold the sarcasm down as much as possible]

  And then prepare for destroying the WT creation doctrine. If you can't get out of the first chapter of Genesis, you'll never have to worry about studying the seven times, or generations, or Jesus, or great crowd, or other sheep, or Armageddon

  This thread marks about the 13,857th time this rumor has been posted on this forum.

  
  

  While the rumors are only that - rumors, never substantiated - it is an indication that the JW practice of casting out people due to 'rebelliousness' or 'sin' creates a fear among their followers, as is its intention. Knowing that the slightest provocation could lead to their DFing/DAing, and thus be shunned evermore by JW family, it causes paranoia among the faithful and the apostate minded alike.

  Scientology series, Leah Remini

  by nonjwspouse in

  i did a quick search on this topic here and didn't come up with anything.

  if anyone has the chance to watch this a&e documentary series on scientology hosted by leah remini it is very very good.

  the parallels are just to obvious to ignore!

  I saw part of an episode for the first time the other night. If a JW were to stumble upon this episode just as I had, they would not make an immediate correlation. This particular episode went into some really wacko stuff that would make the WTS leadership jealous. An everyday JW would even scream, 'CULT' (not realizing of course they're in a more benign version of a similar deal)

  A JW of George Benson's stature to pull a Leah Remini would be more substantial than a Williams sister.

  If he were to wake up, he could do some damage.

  Watchtower April, 2017 Overview

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'll start with the first study article.. this study article deals with vows made to jehovah.

  three main vows are discussed.. 1) your dedication to jehovah.

  we are told that it is not possible to claim that our baptism was not valid .

  The dedication crap is a smoke screen. The following info on apostate spouses is the real big deal.

  They couldn't leave it at what Jesus said about 'Scriptural grounds' for divorce. They had to add this next bit:

  The Bible does not set out grounds for marital separation. However, some married Christians have viewed certain situations as a reason for separation, such as the extreme endangerment of one’s life or spirituality by an abusive or apostate spouse.

  Isolate the import of the last sentence. 'endangerment of ... spirituality by ... an apostate spouse'

  They are putting it in clearer than ever writing that leaving the marriage arrangement when the other spouse wakes up to the lies of the WT and declares oneself free of WT control and authority is authorized, and maybe recommended. They have equaled so called 'spiritual endangerment' to 'extreme' physical danger.

  This is a straight up cult move. This is dangerous to anyone who has awakened, and their mate is still a zealous believer. This is going to get ugly for a lot of people.

  Exact quote?

  Not that it is beyond the WTS to make such a claim, saying 'dedication to god' when actually implying dedication to their struggling publishing company.

  Problem with such a statement is that it will not work on anyone who is awake to their falsehoods. It might keep true believers in line - at least until the day they themselves have their own crisis of conscious

  Confirmed. This is not a joke.

  Need some documentation from an authorized WT source. It's too incredibly stupid to be an actual theme for a convention, but boy would it be nice if this were true...
