"Doubt your doubts" ... and you will always have/be in the truth? Really?

[Srecko Sostar]

Why are all these religions so afraid of their "apostates"?

 

 

 

Don't believe bad news about your religion, because it's a conspiracy against your faith?

…. there is a reason why Bro. Anthony Morris III ascended to such high levels in the service, at Bethel, and with the Governing Body.

Ascended??     Greek word has a connotation of lowly service - walking through the dust.

They most likely fear the overwhelming misinformation provided by apostates. Their way of telling distorted truth is quite amusing.

What type of "apostate" is PA Attorney General Michelle Henry? 

Is she a former JW?

I know that it's summer and there's great heat, so people come to strange conclusions under the influence of unbearable heat. I recommend a higher intake of water in the body.

Now seriously ..,

Do you think that "apostates" can arise from some "false" religion or only from the "true" one? Former Adventists, Scientologists, Catholics and so on, could not be "true apostates", because they were once members of false, apostate religions that are fundamentally "apostate" according to JWs belief.
JWs firm belief that they are members of the only true religion is not a guarantee that the institutionalized religious company, aka WTJWorg, does not belong to a false religious group or so-called "Babylon the Great".
The WTJWorg website does not state that charges have been filed against quite a large number of JWs in PA. Is it because the GB doesn't believe the charges have been brought or they don't believe the Jws could commit a crime, which is also, theologically, a sin?

In order to gain a deeper understanding of my perspective. The apostasy of someone should not be overlooked due to their profession. Therefore, it is of no consequence.

WTJWorg claims that "apostates" cannot be trusted. Can secular people be trusted? WTJWorg claims they can't be trusted either, although it doesn't consider them "theological apostates from the JW ranks." So it is important to determine whether the PA Attorney is telling the truth or telling lies. 

JW.ORG is the official website of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Newsroom reports on current events and other news affecting Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide.

For what reasons are JWs not officially informed about current events, like this in PA, that affecting JW worldwide? And similar investigations about JW and CSA from Australia, Japan, Europe to USA.

Can you even be worried about something you don't know is happening? JW Newsroom and manipulative selection  about what information will be published to members. This is something that should cause restlessness and struggle in every person.

What's wrong with them having their own news outlet that concentrates on their own worldwide current events? Could you please point out where they specify that they are a secular "worldnewsmedia?"

The loss of status and state money in Norway was published. Russian confiscation of assets and prohibition of activities as well. What's the difference? Manipulation, that is the answer to the question.

How can it be considered manipulation if they have published those circumstances on their website? No, you're not providing any answers or making any sense whatsoever.

Upvoting noncritical thinking should make us pause when it comes to positive thinking.

The perfect example of the watchtower Bible and Tractor side yes ( I think I will leave that as is …) manipulating “Church News” is how they provided relief supplies to Haiti when it was devastated by earthquake.  

Be a sport …. look it up. 

Almost nothing was said about the whole mission because the supplies getting delivered to the users, both Witnesses and others relied on cooperation between the Brothers, and the Haitian military, the United States Army, and the United Nations, who had manpower, trucks, and helicopters to deliver supplies, that the Governing Body did not.

Many nations and organizations poured resources into that catastrophy, and for every relief worker there were two scam artists skimming money and resources out of the pile.

The Clinton Foundation collected about $30 million to rebuild housing, but it was all used to pay Chelsey’s “expenses”.

News from the society will never give credit to others, and there used to be a cabinet full of gold figurines at Brooklyn Bethel, “Telly Awards” for video productions ( … they look somewhat like Hollywood’s “Oscars”), that are a joke that you have to buy, and anyone can get one as long as your check clears the bank, solely and specifically designed to impress the ignorant and naïve.

Such is the nature of all human thought and actions.

No one is immune … especially if you enjoy luxuriating in the never ending waterfall of free money.

…..it’s VERY addictive.

By the way, Errikos Tsiamis, et al., I spend about two hours daily extracting information from the ARTIFICIAL INTELLEGENCE program CHATGPT, which has a very specific style of writing.

I do not know what style any of the other AIs have but I’m very impressed by the AI that appears to be the AI you use to compose your essays.

The writing style seems to be indistinguishable from a high-quality ARTIFICIAL INTELLEGENCE program that the washer bottle and Tractor Saturday might have … and demonstratively better than the AI that corrects my dictation from speech to write this.

It is quite puzzling why the Watchtower has not utilized Article 16, but ultimately they are the ones making that decision.

Religious freedom is a fundamental right that ensures individuals can freely practice and manifest their religion or belief without discrimination or undue interference from the state or other individuals according to the King’s constitution, article 16.

While disagreements and discussions may arise in matters concerning religious freedom and equal treatment, it is important to engage in constructive dialogue and seek to understand the perspectives of all stakeholders involved, rather than making assumptions about their knowledge or understanding.

WTJWorg wants "religious freedom" for itself while at the same time persecuting all those JWs who disagree with GB theology. Absurdly.

How does doubting one's own doubt bring achievement?
The result is changing theology under the guise of "new light" and "clarification". What methods did GB use to reach new theological insights? Obviously it doesn't matter, because they will leave the current "new light" anyway. But it is obvious that they doubt the "own light" that they themselves have produced or that their predecessors have done in the past.
The GB message is clear. Ordinary members are not allowed to doubt GB theology, but they are allowed to doubt their own doubts about the correctness of GB theology.
Methods of effective self-doubt if you begin to doubt the correctness of WTJWorg are explained in the WT articles. One of the methods is: "have full trust in GBFDS" and do not listen or read "apostates" or "opponents", but "stick to what we have authorized".

To demonstrate the methods of the Main Ecclesiastical Body is really redundant, unnecessary when one is part of a religion that has cult tactics.
