JW Broadcasting: History of the bible's divine invitation and triumphant translation victory over the church, and all opposition.

No wonder they call it the good book.

Wonder why even the Church couldn't exterminate the bible?

" Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, for fear anyone should fall in the same pattern of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart. 13 And there is not a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting." Hb4:1

I wonder when the Jehovahs Witnesses wil understand the meaning of the Memra.

Jws will never understand anything. They are forbidden to think for themselves. They always have to go to JW.org for what to say or think. They lack critical thinking skills, as a result..

I like that, demeaning, authoritative, well substantiated yet vaguely inconclusive somehow, as if spoken from emotion driven by a rubber band link from the mind.

Just first hand experience. I live in a house full of them. They were raised this way since birth. I married into it. They have demonstrated to most dishonorable, hypocritical bunch I've ever had association with, let alone unable to think for themselves.

Heavy drinkers. Engage in unethical business practices. Watch all sort of filth on TV etc... Yet in good standing at their hall. One is on his way to being an elder. He's a pervert him self.

Truth is..Jws themselves do more harm, bringing reproach against the Watchtower than anyone.

Meanwhile...
" and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. 13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." Mt24:12

"Prior to C.T. Russell's second trip in 1911 to the Great Pyramid, Russell had found himself in the Court of Common Pleas. He faced divorce proceedings launched by his soon-to- be ex-wife. As so often happens, both parties threw everything but the kitchen sink at each other. In court in 1906, Maria Russell brought the accusation of child molestation against Charles T. Russell. Russell admitted he'd locked himself in with Miss Ball "to minister to the sick" and had kissed Miss Ball, but only to give "spiritual tonic." To set his congregation at ease, Charles T. Russell took "A Vow Unto the Lord" which actually consisted of 5 vows, two of which concerned his sexual conduct. He vowed he would conduct himself privately in the same manner with the opposite sex as publicly and not to lock himself in any room with the opposite sex alone. These vows were printed in the WT 6/15/1908. As there was a question as to whether he'd been involved in the occult, he also publicly addressed that issue in his vows. He vowed, "I vow to Thee that I will be on the alert to resist everything akin to Spiritism and Occultism, and that, remembering that there are but the two masters, I shall resist these snares in all reasonable ways, as being of the Adversary." This vow was repeated publicly. "I will be ON THE ALERT TO RESIST EVERYTHING AKIN TO SPIRITISM AND OCCULTISM" Chapter 7 clearly shows beyond a doubt that C.T. Russell soon broke that vow. The Winged-Sun-Disk is not only akin to the occult, it is part of the occult. It was originally used in Egyptian magic. In modern times, it is still used for magic, whether by non-masonic practitioners of Egyptian magic or Masonic ones. The first three degrees are called the Blue Lodge. Why? Because the heavens (astrology) is so important to them. Astrology is important to Masonry as it is to many groups steeped in the occult. The Zodiac Signs were formed in pagan Babylon and have all kinds of occultic significance. Yet, Russell after his vow, had no problem displaying Zodiac signs on his Photo-drama of Creation.(p.2) Is this steering clear of anything "akin to Spiritism and Occultism"? "

"What the author experienced being around JWs he would normally hesistate to portray as typical JW behavior, on the chance he experienced a fluke. However, Dr. Jerry Berman's book The Mental Health of Jehovah's Witness shows study after study confirming the things the author saw first hand. Psychological studies have indicated a widespread pattern of these following behaviors.4

*JWs claim to be the happiest people in the world, but actually suffer high rates of depression and mental illness- rates much higher than the general population. *The Watchtower Society and its hierarchy have little understanding of Mental Health. Some of the advice the Author observed Witness elders giving could have come out of the Middle Ages. Indeed the Awake! Sept. 8,1976 has an article which extols the following example to its readers. "Doctors of Sao Paulo Hospital of Psychiatry called in a former exorcist, who is now a Witness, to exorcise spirits, and patients left the hospital apparently cured."

*JWs are demon oriented. Any thing evil that they do tends to be rationalized "The devil made me do it." They see Satan as having power to control people at will like pawns. In practice, God seems to have very little practical power compared to the power they attribute to Satan. This may seem to some at first glance like Christianity- it isn't. If I as a Christian walk into- say a pagan temple, I know the idols are nothing and that my God is stronger than them and able to protect me. I would not run and hide like the Witnesses. They live their lives in fear of demons.

*Witnesses blame their own problems on outsiders. Satan is one of their favorite scapegoats.

*Those people who can practice the defense mechanisms of denial, rationalization, or projection are more likely to remain JWs. *Problems not understood are blamed on demons.

*Lack of organizational zeal or loyalty is blamed on demons.

*Mental illness and thoughts of suicide are blamed on demons."
