Or did you mean,

"...'gullible' isn't even a word in THEIR [the Watchtower Society] dictionary..."

Broken Promises

Not even children of elders, who receive a regular one hour per week Bible study, stay in.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... your father wasn't an elder, was he??

Elders barely have the time to care for their own families - they're too busy running around looking after the cong to look after their own kin.

BP, daughter of a former elder.

At least that's the theory, isn't it? Elders are supposed to have a regular study to qualify for being an elder. Of course they are often too busy with congregation business and something has to give.

The point was that way too many Witness kids abandon the religion, even the ones that were properly indoctrinated by a regular family study.

No, my father wan't an elder.

Broken Promises

Yes, they are supposed to receive a regular one hour study from their fathers/parents.

It doesn't mean that they do.

They are programmed to return. They are not allowed to learn skills that help them in the real world. They cannot start their own businesses or get jobs in fields that pay decent money. They are not allowed to associate with anyone outside the religion. They are not allowed to think for themselves. And, thus they never learn to do that. Also, too many of them are discouraged from using computers, except to do theocraptic research on their CD-ROMs or to look up the official site.

While many of them leave the cancer, too many of them fall flat on their faces. The witlesses laugh at them, and will kick them out of homes or jobs if they are in position to do so. And, without having learned the skills to function outside the religion, too many of them default to returning to the cancer. They don't have the money to go out and buy a computer to do their own damn research, let alone to start a business. They are also too lazy to do their own thinking--the ones that laziness leads back to the cancer deserve that, while those who return because of the shunning or because they are disabled from functioning outside the cancer for whatever reason need help from the real world.

As for those who return for laziness, the cancer deserves them as much as they deserve the cancer. Bad thinkers (those who do what they are told, not thinking for themselves) lead to bad ideas. And bad ideas lead to stagnation for the religion, and ultimately congregations with boasting session attendance falling into the teens and single numbers. The lazy people are usually also too lazy to follow up on calls, wasting tons of time getting books full of return visits only to not return. The ones that return are too lazy to move to the next step, so they end up with calls that just waste resources. This results in dismal growth in those territories, and wasted littera-trash with little or nothing in the way of donations.

"I've heard that another 2 people have left the "Truth" as soon as they could get out. both girls were elder's daughters. They aren't elders now because they were somewhat problem teens. Now, they're older and no longer JWs. This is a dying cult."

So one person hears that two people have left - and THAT constitutes proof final it is a dying organization? Dearest minimus, don't you think that is a tiny piece of jumping to conclusions based on a somewhat thin basis?

NRFG – You’re joking, right? Or is this bifurcation setting in?

It's a shame that our young ones fall victim to the snares of the Devil. All too often they view the protection found only within The Truth as

suffocating,

simply because they don't have the experience (Prov 22:3) to recognize that the world offers nothing but emnity with the True God.- 1 John 2:15.

NRFG. Have you been at the sauce again? Take it easy my man it’s not good for you. Just some questions to ponder.

True Christians, particularly our youth are being watched by the Devil

By ‘true Christians’ and ‘our youth’ do you mean only JWs? Where is the evidence for the statement that ‘particularly our youth are being by the Devil’? Where does the Bible make this statement?

If he can mislead 1/3 of spirit creatures in the heavens, as well as the entire world, we should not be surprised that he can

mislead 2/3 of the offspring of True Christians.

I call ‘mystical manipulation’ on this one.

Thankfully the Slave Class saw fit to institute Family Worship Night as a counteracting measure against the machinations of the Devil.

The ‘slave class’ is yet another example of cult loaded language. Matt 24:45 is a vague parable. If it relates to 7 men in Brooklyn why isn’t it obvious?

What actual evidence do you have that a Devil even exists outside of Bible passages?

Come on George, I know you can't be serious.

A missionary serving where the need is great in Africa related that once he was on a Safari Trip ... . . . NRFG

Yes I recall that account . . . Andre I think his name was.
