May be G. Jackson is a puppet

by opusdei1972 in

after reading the answers of geoffrey jackson before the rc, answers like "it is not my field", we may infer that it is possible that this guy is just a puppet in the governing body.

for instance, raymond franz reported in his books that some of the members of the gb of his time were simply followers of what fred franz thought.

so, during a decision, if freddy said some thing, many of the members would vote following him.

GodZoo

(My other comment applies here too..)

Based on GJ's wishy washy weak response maybe he too will be kicked out like Raymond Franz was with the remaining 6 self appointed fibbers saying:

"It is us 6 who are the actual faithful and discreet slave.. Geoff was an apostate"

Followed shortly by the release of this new best seller..

I don't want the Watchtower's version of paradise.

by StarTrekAngel in

i am writing this in the hopes that it may help someone in a debate.

i personally have not had a chance to discuss it with anyone but that is true for most other topics.

i think is a good one to analyze.

Idiotic thread.
"Can't think of what to hate about JWs today, so I'll say that life forever in a paradise on earth would suck."

That in itself is an idiotic statement.

What people are talking about is not a paradise on earth.. but rather the Watchtowers version of a bleached clean plastic 1940's eurocentric cartoon Mickey Mouse world populated by manakin zombie dolls.

Are beards allowed yet for MS and Elders??

by EndofMysteries in

i remember a little over 15 years ago, one of my first jobs at a grocery store, the manager was happy that they passed a new policy allowing them to grow a beard.

previously they were not allowed.

among the usa, i guess beards were considered not very professional still.

GodZoo

Not sure about beards.. but brooms and mops certainly are one of the great privileges you will be awarded and trained in the use of. Something about "being completely equipped for every good cleaning job".

Please reach out to Te New Yorker

by Jonathan Drake in

i have found an article on their website that moved me to contact them.

i share it here hoping more will contact in a similar vein and maybe we can raise awareness and tear down this propaganda.

i'm writing regarding an article about jehovah's witnesses and their blood transfusion doctrine, found here:http://tinyurl.com/pxku9dgit is clear to me, reading this article, that it's writer is either profoundly ignorant or profoundly biased.

She's obviously pro-witness..

John Oliver starts a new church ...

by EdenOne in

here's john oliver's take on how easy it is for religions to fleece vulnerable people in the us.

i had a few good laughs, but it's seriously disturbing at the same time.

read the article, but don't miss the video, it's hilarious.. john oliver sets up his new church.

Do you believe Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body is the "faithful slave"?

by Marvin Shilmer in

this question is known to be posed by jws to other jws as an acid test of loyalty.

i'm not the first to notice what i'm about to point out and comment accordingly, but today i felt compelled to add a short article on my blog highlighting the new language that governing body member geoffrey jackson supplies as a response.

a person who honestly hesitates to respond with a robust "yes!

GodZoo

I agree with Governing Body member Geoffrey Jackson. The Governing Body views itself as trying to fulfill the role of the biblical 'faithful slave,' but it would be presumptuous to say the Governing Body is the only spokesperson that God is using.

Only spokesperson?

It's grossly presumptuous to assume God is even using them at all...

All I have ever seen in Witness portrayals of paradise are people eating endless fruit, cuddling animals, and cleaning up the countryside plus plenty of singing kingdom hall songs.. and the most nightmarish part of all for me is that somewhere in almost every artist's rendition and illustration there is some middle aged caucasian male in a dressed like an elder exercising his patriarchal control rights and police like authority over the entire scene. To live with these people for an eternity would be sheer hell on earth.
