Never Become Enraged with Jehovah (tomorrow's WT Study)....pure vomit

by raymond frantz in

never become enraged against jehovah.

(watchtower study 7-13 october).

paragraph 4.

ohnightdivine

I just finished re-reading today's WT article and I just wanted to cry after each paragraph. Oh, how cunning they are. I wonder how long they've been planning on releasing these articles--from the New Light, to this one? It just fits their own gloves perfectly.

Everything is just so cleverly laid out...

Notice, also, how each paragraph almost always has that question at the end. Questions to make the reader not ONLY think, but to make them doubt themselves, lower their self-esteem, and tell themselves that "yes, I agree with the WT. I should not do this, this is bad. I must really exert more effort. It's my fault." The question-technique being effectively used in Bible "studies" are also working on them, without their knowledge.

I feel sorry for those who become more depressed or feel more guilty because of the way this article was written.

The article can be summarized into:

1) "Never doubt Jehovah." = How dare you doubt the Watch Tower? The very discreet organization that has been feeding you all this ***p.

2) "Remember that Jevovah does not cause our problems."= We don't care really. It's either your fault or Satan's. The GB is here to let you know that.

3) "Do not allow negative speech to affect you." = Do not listen to those who think.

4) "Do not neglect your relationship with Jehovah." = Never stop attending meetings and field service, or else..

5) "Do not become self-centered." = Do not think. Just obey us; that is your obligation.

I almost attended today's meeting but due to some circumstances I ended up not going. Well, if I did go, I would have rolled down my seat or gone out the entire session because of this drivel. How they blatantly use God's name to fit their delusion is just very sad. And I was a part of it.

Well, well... I am not surprised. Maybe no one from their "level" has awakened (or awoken?) yet?

Mark Sanderson - Why Is the Newest GB Member Suddenly So Prominent?

by Oubliette in

i've noticed something that is very odd even by wt/gb standards.

why is mark sanderson suddenly so prominent in all things wt/jw?.

others have commented on the obvious narcissism of the gb pushing themselves to the fore recently, in particular after their huge doctrinal change at proclaiming themselves and only themselves as the faithful and discreet slave.. this is clearly true as evidenced at the agm, not only throughout the agm, but also in the video that was featured as part of that meeting.

I never liked that guy. Saw him a few times in the past up close.

For those who are still IN and attending meetings, do you still study the WT & other books?

by ohnightdivine in

for those of you who are still attending meetings due to various reasons, how do you prepare yourself for each program?.

do you still read and study the wt?.

do you still read and study the okm, jeremiah, etc?.

ohnightdivine

Ok, now let me find where my hard copy of the WT is... if I still haven't thrown it away with the other magazines. Hope I could survive another WT meeting tomorrow, without feeling any guilt.

I might need to start doing the same thing, gingerbread. So far I've been afraid to even read the WT again because I might be lured back to my cult personality again, especially when the contents offer some semblance of hope or happiness.

What do you do during the entire meeting? Do you still strive to concentrate on the "discussion" or let your mind wander off aimlessly?

I find that I haven't really been interested in studying anymore, esp. the WT.. and just endure sitting at the hall thinking of other things.

Sometimes I just doodle (discreetly).

Two months ago I would have raised my hands at least twice to comment.

But since the 7/15 WT everything just went on a downward spiral for me...

The Governing Body Know What Makes Jehovah Sad :(, Happy :), Tired zzzzz, And Other Deep Feelings

by frankiespeakin in

well did you notice how these guys on the governing body seems to know such intimate things about jehovah like what he's thinking, what makes him sad/happy and yet they never even personally met the guy, because he is completely invisible except for those that claim to have seen him.

in other words they claim no direct communication with the corporate deity but claim to know his intimate feeling based on the study of an ancient text where writers claim direct inspiration and expression of the deity.. could these just be projections of their own thinking and feeling processes onto the corporate deity?

most likely.. isaiah 42:14-16.

ohnightdivine

It is this level of presumptuousness that made me start thinking differently about the organization. It just makes my stomach churn.
