  YOU 'THINK' YOU ARE FREE when you leave the Org. . . but it can be an ILLUSION

  by Terry in

  did you know there is nothing more insane than being partly indoctrinated and partly free?.

  the level of cognitive dissonance is ridiculous!.

  i have told this story before, so i'll shorten it to cut to the chase.. in 1987, i was dating a professional psychotherapist with a view to marriage.

  "I've done that to people plenty of times. Now whereever I go, I just leave out that information as if those years never happened and I don't know anything about the bible. It also saved me from stressful conversations." Just avoiding the bible at all cost does it for me. No need to talk about information that you use to blindly believe.

  Is this why the book is grey?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the 2014 revised edition of "what does the bible really teach?

  " uses the text of the 2013 nwt.

  i therefore assume this is the reason for the grey colour of the "bible teach" book.. examples of the adjustments appear at pages 216 and 217 of the book:.

  You can also consider pretty much all biblical wars and genocides. (if they are true, and some are)

  False religion and Satan has caused the problems in the world today including Israel. But when you take the time to learn the truth, it will set you free. Revelations 12:9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

  JW.org broadcasting studio

  by Lynnie in

  apparently the very cool thing to do now is when you go to bethel you go and have your picture taken in the studio!

  my uber elder cousin and his wife just did that back in ny.

  it's probably not for everyone, my cousin's daughter and son in law are very "high up" in the org in "finance" and that's how they probably got to do it.

  thanks to all of the friends here at jwn who commented and encouraged me on my 1st and 2nd post.

  it was pointed out that my 1st post was on page 5 of the recent elders thread and that i should properly introduce myself with a new thread.

  the lightgrowsbrighter name is somewhat of play on words.

  How do you overcome this JW excuse?

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during one of those meetings that took place before my jc, one of the elders, who was a good friend of mine back then and used to come up with a few outlandish personal views about some teachings, attempted to counter one of my arguments like this:.

  eden - "well, if the truth doesn't change, why is it that what we teach as 'truth' has changed over the years (several examples given)?

  how can we dogmatically claim at any given moment that we have 'the truth' if our teachings keep changing?".

  Gotta agree with a lot here. It is like what terri said from one post: jws believe they are automatically right and will Never consider the organization being wrong. Just unreasonable.

  this is a reminder for some, and fresh bible guidance for new arrivals to this site.. have you been "witnessing" today, or are you planning to?.

  revelation 12:17 - ".......and have the work of bearing witness to jesus.".

  acts 8:16 - ".......been baptized in the name of the lord jesus.".
