  Need best info on why Jesus could never have chosen org in 1918?

  by GodZoo in

  hi folks... i was playing a tiny online ipad multiplayer war game last night and one started a dialogue with a another player i was attacking.

  in it he quoted a scripture.. and it turns out he he is a 25 year serving jw.

  possibly an elder... well.. i spent 6 hours tapping away with one finger in the chat box until 8am this morning with him about all the issues on sex abuse, the money grab and most importantly the subject of jesus turning his attention to the earth and selecting the then bibles students as his one and only people based on what they were teaching (spiritual food) back then.. he knows nothing about any of the current and historic child sex abuse cases (never heard of candice conti etc) and even less about the insane early teachings or russell etc.. i completely blew his mind in our 6 hour text chat not to mention my index finger nearly falling off!.

  Hi folks..

  I was playing a tiny online ipad multiplayer war game last night and one started a dialogue with a another player I was attacking. In it he quoted a scripture.. and it turns out he he is a 25 year serving JW. Possibly an elder..

  Well.. I spent 6 hours tapping away with one finger in the chat box until 8am this morning with him about all the issues on sex abuse, the money grab and most importantly the subject of Jesus turning his attention to the earth and selecting the then Bibles students as his one and only people based on what they were teaching (spiritual food) back then.

  He knows nothing about any of the current and historic child sex abuse cases (never heard of Candice Conti etc) and even less about the insane early teachings or Russell etc.

  I completely blew his mind in our 6 hour text chat not to mention my index finger nearly falling off!

  So.. we have now moved over to email dialogue and I want to send him the single best article on the utter impossibility of Jesus having selected that group of people for anything. This guy's mind is wide open to being woken up! He is gagging for information and I could feel his mind going into complete meltdown from the things I was sharing with him.

  What do you think would be the best article to show him on this topic without scaring him off and causing his mind to slam shut?

  How about this one?

  Any suggestions welcome. Thank you.

  GB Permits Texas Two-Step on Kingdom Hall Stage, etc.

  the governing body not writing their own articles is on this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/370640004/gb-providing-food-helpers-write-articles?size=10&page=1.

  but, something more sinister, more serious is taking place in the congregations.

  the governing body have allowed very disturbing activities to take place in the kingdom halls and during the conventions.

  Reality Check

  Massive growth in numbers? A couple of million? Let's put that into perspective shall we?

  The Org.. which has millions of cult foot soldiers plodding round the planet nonstop 24/7 peddling the most widely published magazine in the history humankind in every country on earth with a 130 year head start.

  Result? A couple of million more cult members.

  Now. Facebook.. which does nothing to promote itself.. has no literature or magazine or no promotion whatsoever..

  Yet, by the end of 2013, Facebook boasted 1.23bn monthly active users worldwide, adding 170m in just one year. According to Facebook, 757m users log on to Facebook daily, as of 31 December 2013.

  Now that's what I would call Massive Growth.

  How the Watchtower Screws Up Your View of Scripture

  by CalebInFloroda in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  while i do not argue the stand of atheism (because as a jew i find it totally logical and acceptable), i have noticed that there are odd carryover preconceptions about scripture that some hold as axiomatic about the bible (at least the hebrew texts), misconceptions that have nothing to do with the jewish scriptures themselves.. so regardless of what you may think of scripture, whether you believe it is of g-d or not, i thought some of you might enjoy a reference to see how much the watchtower teaching on scripture might still be influencing the conclusions you are making today...at least about the tanakh.

  jews read their texts acknowledging the following:.

  1. no scriptural concept of original sin.

  I wrote to the managers of the Raymond Franz site where the pdf's in several languages are sold and they told me that Commentary Press had promised them that they would undertake the printing of hard copies but have never fulfilled their promise

  www.raymondfranz.fr/index.php?language=EN

  Here's what they said:

  Hello,
  Several years ago Commentary Press promised to sell new printed books of Crisis of Conscience. But since Ray and his wife are dead, they seem no to accomplish this promise
  Waiting for this hypothetic day, the only way to get this book is to download a copy.

  Apparently it was not as important who was right but who was loyal to the organization.

  That's insanity. Loyalty to what you know to be true should be paramount.
