7:45 If the governing body was so worried about the young people going to college, why don't they build a facility to teach young people how to develop construction skills ? Instead, they bought land and spent millions of dollars building a movie studio ! You can't make this up !
@@BasedLifeGuru The studio and movie production is a form of manipulation that is more important for them to achieve their goals and more efficient at making you to decide for yourself without their intervention or financial investment. Building a school to teach construction skills for JW would benefit the young ones more than would benefit them in the long term. There's no guarantee they would stick with the organization after the learning is completed. i heard a story of a mormon who attended BYU just for the degree and then left the organization.
It runs down to; If you don’t support the governing body, your hope of maybe getting eternal life at earth will dwindle. The GB holds it’s members as hostages with an invisible fence, that’s why you need the watchtower, not to warn about danger, but to keep people inside. Often ex JWs don’t see how trapped they were before they see it from the outside.
It is absurd that a member of the Governing Body actually has the audacity to warn his grassroots confreres of the dangers of materialism in a public appearance, while the Watchtower Society has amassed a huge fortune in the recent decades thanks to the donations, inheritances and volunteer labor of its confreres. (real estate and stock portfolio, bank deposits, etc.) How can it be explained that the members cannot recognize this hypocrisy and mendacity?
How is it audacity and hypocrisy? Can't a rich man warn a poor man against materialism? Where does the bible warn against donations and free labour? Watchtower does not flaunt wealth nor discourage it. Psalm 62:10 (Brenton): "if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it." Deut 8:13,18 (ASV): "when thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied...thou shalt remember Jehovah thy God giveth thee power to get wealth." Jesus does not criticise Watchtower for its wealth or how it acquires and uses its wealth humbly in the service of the kingdom.
@@davidagnew8792 Your remarks reveal that you have not internalized the meaning of the question. Didn't Jesus command His disciples not to store up treasures on this earth? The WTs's appeals for donations resemble a modern sale of indulgences, although the organization originally claimed that it would never misuse its media and magazines for appeals for donations. What hypocrisy. Why does the WTS encourage its members on the last day of the last days to assign the claims from insurance policies in their favor, even though the surrender values will not be due for several decades? Are you aware that the WTS only manages the assets of the Brotherhood in a fiduciary capacity? Will you and your confreres be granted access to the consolidated balance sheet of the WTS upon request?

Did you hear this man do a bait & switch on the Proverbs 4:18 passage??? He quoted the Watchtower as the source for this instead of the bible! STOP IT WATCHTOWER! UN' BEE' LIEVABLE!!! Smh....
@Mr.DC3.1914 Well of course Proverbs 4:18 is in the Bible, I never said it wasn't! It's HOW they've MISUSED that passage OUT OF CONTEXT making it doctrinal about so-called truths getting brighter & brighter, then quoting the Watchtower as the source for what he said! That passage is NOT doctrinal at all! If it's read IN CONTEXT it's a passage of King Solomon teaching his sons about godly wisdom regarding the path of a righteous person vs. an unrighteous person. Had NOTHING to do with doctrine or a light getting brighter & brighter! The Watchtower leaders [the governing body] made that passage doctrinal themselves then consistently repeated it to ther followers until it was true IN THEIR MINDS! That's WHY the guy in the video referred to the Watchtower when speaking of the light getting brighter & brighter cause it's NOT in the Bible! I wasn't talking about Proverbs 4:18 not being in the Bible. It was HOW it was totally MISUSED AND TAKEN COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT to say something totally different!@@Mr.DC3.1914
The term you're looking for is "translator with theological bias" or "theologically biased translator." These translators make minor adjustments to the translation to reflect their own personal beliefs about the faith. This can sometimes lead to variations in how certain passages are interpreted or understood. It happened to several translations.
@@ciscokidfab7595 Minor deviations are common and consistent with the message of the text are considered acceptable. Some view it as a substantial "change." The reader is left to decide and use discernment. When in doubt, I always consider the original texts' language. Sometimes I even read up to 6 different languages. I think this is all we have until Jesus comes back. He will clear up all doubts and answer all questions. In my opinion, He's taking too long ! C'mon Jesus ! It has been over 2,000 years already !🤣

Unless, of course, you believe that God and a man-made organization with 11 men in New York (who demand blind obedience) are synonymous.

@@pearlytiger564 my challenge has to do with the Bible and a proper understanding of the Bible. These videos have nothing to do with the Bible it's just a bunch of rumor-mongering. There is no attempt to use the Bible to justify christendom's political meddling or the Trinity for instance.
Our elders are unsalaried volunteers that is why we can finance our work without collections or tything, games of chance distribute literature including millions if copies of the Bible free of charge we don't have to maintain any religious leader in a luxurious lifestyle. While our self-styled betters christendom's and atheism's minions were licking the boots of history's most brutal autocrats it was the much hated JWs who stood there ground in JEHOVAH'S Strength and willingly paid the price, it is Christendom's bloodstained history that clearly exposes her as being a tool of Satan and not any servant of Christ.
So you obviously don't know that one of your leaders put the Jehovah's witnesses at the convenience of Hitler, he wrote Hitler a letter but was refused. Hitler didn't need the by your leave of Watchtower or Jehovah's witnesses.

Without collections? They release videos pushing people to donate to the organisation, don’t they? From kids in Caleb and Sophia cartoons where they make Sophia feel guilty for thinking about spending her pocket money on an ice cream cone instead of giving it to Jehovah i.e the organisation to films showing African refugees arriving at a refugee camp and there being a donation box to give to watchtower.

After you read the NWT Bible make sure you read the KJV Bible. You will notice the difference and see missing scriptures and changed ones..
The term you're looking for is "translator with theological bias" or "theologically biased translator."
These translators make minor adjustments to the translation to reflect their own personal beliefs about the faith.

So true. Their own “Kingdom Interlinear bible” also shows how watchtower has changed the Bible to match their dogma.
