  Why did Jesus piddle around for 40 days in the wilderness?

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after all he only had 3 and half years to perform his ministry so every day counted.

  instead of witnessing to satan couldn't he have made better use of his time reaching as many people as possible?

  just using some jdub reasoning on the matter..

  This Jesus story is a Myth, most probably based on a few real normal incidents. Nothing to take seriously.

  The mind conditioning techniques used by Jehovah's Witness leaders to keep members loyal

  by Tenacious in

  2. scandals

  words can be incredibly powerful when used on people to persuade them to think a certain way.

  it becomes considerably worse when people don't even know it's being used on them.

  take for example, obama's speeches (just an example, not injecting politics into the discussion).

  OMG, what a Thorough Brainwashing article (As Usual) by WT. Thanks Tenacious for letting us know about this NLP.

  Also, for people who wants to know about NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)

  WT / JW Doctrine ,Satan cast out of Heaven in 1914 ? He has always had access to the earth ? Since Eve .

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this doctrine / belief that jehovah`s witnesses have , surely raises a few questions that they do not address.. 1.this spirit being challenged god by questioning his authority and offering eve an alternative making himself satan.. and this took place on earth ,the garden of eden.

  so he who became satan had access to the earth.. 2. all throughout the old testament , the hebrew scriptures do we find examples of satan interfering with gods plan of things either by himself or his followers .. 3.their are just too many examples to list individually ,however a few key ones would be , the nephilim , job when god in heaven asks him where he has been , and his reply , from roving about on the earth .

  , etc.etc.. 4.and of course in the new testament , where jesus is taken up into a mountain to be tempted by satan for fourty days ?.

  It was a talking snake that deceived Eve. Not Satan. This has been manipulated and twisted to be Satan , because a talking snake story is too ridiculous and silly to Believe. If you still believe that Satan deceived eve, you are still under the crutches of a cult who made you believe what they wanted you to believe.
  

  See these verses from the Bible and read it with an open Mind. Where does it mention Satan here ? Portions in bold means a literal snake, which has been manipulated by cults and Christendom to be Satan
  

  Genesis 3:

  3 Now the serpent was the most cautious* of all the wild animals of the field that Jehovah God had made. So it said to the woman: “Did God really say that you must not eat from every tree of the garden?”b 2 At this the woman said to the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden.c 3 But God has said about the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden:d ‘You must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it; otherwise you will die.’” 4 At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die.e 5 For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad

  13 Jehovah God then said to the woman: “What is this you have done?” The woman replied: “The serpent deceived me, so I ate
  

  14 Then Jehovah God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are the cursed one out of all the domestic animals and out of all the wild animals of the field. On your belly you will go, and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity*n between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring. He will crush* your head and you will strike* him in the heel.”

  Before joining this JW cult, I was taught in the Bible study that Satan used this Snake to make it appear to talk, as a Ventriloquist does. And my stupidity made me believe this nonsense and serve the cult for 11 years

  Also to answer you other point, yes the most Evil and powerful personality still has access to the earth.

  An Evil employee is fired from office – with no access to the environment- once he is found to be causing harm to others. Imperfect humans can accomplish this in a few hours.

  But the Almighty and most benevolent god still allows the most evil force in the Universe to harm humans and finally casts him out of heaven and confines him to the earth. And people still believe that God is love

  Have you ever gotten a straight answer? If yes, what was it?

  by Tenacious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the light continues to get brighter, yada, yada, yada.. but, the bottom line is the watchtower claims everything comes from jehovah.

  books, magazines, videos, assemblies, to jw broadcast, to gb appointments, to dramas, even the music and sophia and caleb.

  heck, they would claim jehovah provides the toilet paper if they could.

  If teachings have to be continually "clarified" where did the original teachings come from?

  The most basic question: Where did the Bible come from.
  

  Bible was compiled by the Roman Catholic Church, who decided which books should be deleted and what should be included in the Bible. And if you believe in this Jehovah fantasy, you should also believe that he empowered the then RC church with holy spirit to do this -To compile his most holy book to save mankind.

  But Watchtower accuses RC as the mother of Harlots, while still using their Bible. Isnt this Blasphemy ?

  International conventions and natiionalism

  by joey jojo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been seeing a few international conventions posted here and on social media.

  i can't help but notice what seems like blatant nationalism in terms of dress, greetings, welcome signs.

  am i right or have i simply turned into a hyper sensitive loser that is reading too much into things?

  JWs are encouraged to dress up according to their local culture in international conventions, only for the sake of the sneaky Cult Propaganda.

  That is, other JWs should see that and encourage (Brainwash) themselves as "Ahh see how the truth is spread to so many different lands. This is in accordance to the Bible that the good news would spread to all the lands. We are all speaking the same pure language. Truly this is Jehovahs Organization"

  BTW, what if some tribal people - who are still naked - become JWs and attend the International conventions ?

  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  What ever revisions they are doing to their past failed doctrines, they would cleverly and silently sneak the new doctrineinto one of their studies, not giving much importance to it as if its not a big deal. Time will mold it, and thats what they beleive and it really works.

  They would never admit they were wrong. Rather they would say "Adjustment in thinking"

  What a CULT!!

  The Pure in Heart shall see God - Dan Mohler

  Seeing God is just an illusion or a mental disorder, to be honest.

  Sorry, I cant see this video in its entirety as it is just another evangelizer making money out of other peoples ignorance and fear. Is this guy really pure in heart. Doesn't he know that what he is preaching is utter nonsense ? Isnt he making riches from his followers donations ?

  I am a "Once bitten twice shy" - Means I was fooled by a cult and view all religious evangelizers with suspicion now

  jw regional conventions scheduled to be held in rochester ny in august 2019, will instead be held in wilkes-barre, pa.. here is the story:.

  looks like the new management of the rochester arena didn't like playing "hardball" with the jw negotiation team, and just decided to close their doors.. the group is looking at returning to rochester next summer, miller said, adding this is "not a cold, hard break.

  Trying to imagine living under Jehovah’s Theocratic Rule!

  by I believe in overlapping in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  imagine living in a time when medical facilities weren’t even a concept.

  imagine living during a time where a police force didn’t even exist.

  imagine the culture you lived in was that you have as many kids as possible and hopefully none of them were girls, or at least just a few girls, like jacob who had twelve boys.

  Plagues were killing people in thousands and millions during those times. And people didnt know what casued these plagues and deaths. They attributed it to Gods wrath. Nothing else.

  Even if these accounts are true and God(?) killed innocent people due to his anger on someone else, who would like to live in this Sick Psychos Rule ?
