hello everyone, i am new here and newly freed from the snare of wtbs.
my sister, also newly freed, said our mom told her at the annual meeting there was a new "understanding" on the generation confusion.
it is now the annointed that will not pass away.. has anyone else heard this?
Hi momcrazy,
Welcome to the forum, glad you escaped the borg, and welcome to the real world.
To:Zack,
You are sooooooooooo right! Just like all religious "leaders", the gb never believed the stuff they put out. Its garbage and they know it. As you pointed out, their bottom line is their lazy, easy lifestyle whch they perpetuate through their bogus publishing company.

i have recently seen one thread about the differences between the witnesses and those other religions.
so i will explain some of my earlier experiences as a catholic and contrast them to the witness experience.. my family was active as a catholic when i was about 6 or so.
we had to salute the flag, and we got to play with other children and go on class trips that also made major markers in life.
WT Wizard,
Excellent commentary!
As I read your comments the memories of all those restrictions on us as jw children flashed right back into my mind.
You are right on target.

c.t.russell began with a personal "purpose" which was to find a way to believe in/worship god while doing away with the beliefs he found to be personally uncomfortable such as hellfire.
he shopped around and cherry picked 2nd adventist views as a foundation.
to this he added pyramidology.
Terry,
Excellent review of the entire watchtower history and its shell game!
You should write a book.

i am on the borderline of becoming atheist/agnostic.
but i still can't figure out the human conscience.
since the conscience is innate to only the human animal, how did that evolve?.
Hello Bluesapphire,
Your question about the human conscience is very interesting. Some information that you might find useful
is contained in "The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown Of the Bicameral Mind" by Dr. Julian Jaynes.
You can find this book in any major bookstore like Barnes & Noble.
Worf
how good of a debater are you?.
i was recently reading some old threads on jwd back in the days when a poster named "youknow" was here.
(2002) he would stand toe-to-toe (or at least he thought he did) with the likes of alanf, refiners fire, seven006, and many others.
I would cut them to shreds by using their own information.
I long for the opportunity.

here is one question that has been bothering me for quite some time.
do you think a revolution, so to speak, within the organization is possible?
in other words, can any conspiracy against the watchtower succeed?
To jwfacts,
"People need to learn to stand on their own two feet rather than submit themselves to human rulers".
Right on point. Wide scope accounting shows that to be the main problem on this planet.
Thank you jwfacts for stating that.

What is needed is a Worldwide Watchtower Rebellion.
Such a thing is possible. Remember, the Iron Curtain fell virtually overnight.
And so did Ceaucescu of Romania. In both situations the seeds were purposely planted to cause change.
You never know, despite appearances, there could be people in place in all or various
congregations planting the seeds that will wake the drones up. Finally.

from channel c (today).
you may have read something similar to this before but the specific details are interesting.. this was put on a uk forum by an xjw called gordon...he gave me permission to use his post.. .

To the watchtower: If you are monitoring this or any other sites, it shows that you and your fu!@ed up jehovah are nothing but a bunch of cowards and paranoid fools.
FU#$K YOU AND FU$%K YOUR SO-CALLED GOVERNING BODY, SERVICE DEPARTMENT, theodore jaracz, AND YOUR NONEXISTENT JEHOVAH!
SINCERELY AND PROUDLY,
WORF!
