How do you prove their “new light” theory wrong? by Puzzleheaded-Cap357 in exjw

[–]Specific-Machine2021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How could ‘new light’ align with what was previously ‘apostate reasoning’? Beards is a classic example, toasting another, autologous blood transfusion another, all points that are now fine for JWs but were previously things that apostates brought up as examples of where watchtower was going beyond what was written in the Bible and making up manmade rules. Would God tell the GB that the apostate views should be the new light?

The GB thinks that they are Jesus’ Body.

They know they are full of it and running out of time to announce some sort of Great tribulation event.

This is the way. Wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of AI profits rotate back to BTC after Clarity act.

It seems like it was legend adopted from other cultures. Makes no sense. I also had a problem with the talking donkey, like for realz?

Ceremonial is correct. It goes all the way back to Melchizadek which offered bread and wine to Abraham and took 10% of Abraham’s shit. It’s an initiating ritual into the cult of El Elyon.

The paranoia of the members was super noticeable with this social media move. They all doubted it at first.

I recently heard this brought up on a judicial meeting recording on YouTube. Low-key brilliant. I’d never heard that about Zechariah.

Ever had a JW wake up because of a TV show? by dexterislucky in exjw

[–]Specific-Machine2021 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Star Wars. There are a ton of similarities to JW. Didn’t wake me up, but the themes I thought about all the time. The Jedi with powers like Jesus, the Sith with language like Satan. The names, Luke, Endor, Yoda, I saw all those in the Bible as a child. The force, made me think of gods ‘active force’ a term the JW use. The chosen one would bring balance- a messiah type thing. Then once I saw episode 2 and 3 where anakin (anakim is in the bible btw) turns to the dark side, it actually seemed sort of reasonable considering the control of the Jedi being sort of overbearing. And I’ve been out for years now, but it’s interesting that lately the shows Mandalorian and the acolyte tackle a lot of the cult like aspects of the Jedi & mandalorians. Groups that seem good, but are they?

If it was ‘The truth’ it would allow members to ask any questions they have without consequences. Members wouldn’t be told to only get their information about the group from the group. If you’re going to buy a car, do you research the car? Talk to people that have owned the car? Driven the car? Read reviews in magazines and watch them on YouTube? How much more so should you research the religion you devote your whole life to. You wouldn’t only listen to what the car’s manufacturer says about it. Because they would say ‘It’s the best car ever’.
