the outside world is noticing:.
the watchtowers "jehovahs witness" cult... the watchtowers "governing body" jehovahs witnesses pray for... and... the people who expose them... .

"They naively equate belief in God with trust in the WT. This is the mother of all other blunders".
Yes, it really is that simple. I would go a step further and say that they equate themselves with God.
Their message is basically "if we said it, then Jehovah wants it"
oh really.
the boy was six year old when he said he was in heaven with the angels.
now he admit it was made up for attention..
The thing is, how many J-dub kids comment at meetings, give presentations at doors, and even get baptized, all for attention ?
Sad really.
need a list of people like cain, lot, david, etc who did things they should have been put to death for but jah forgave, excused or turned a blind eye to.
thanks for any info.. .
I for one refuse to judge poor Bathsheba, what choice would a girl have had back then, if the King wanted a booty call!
After all, "it's good to be King", and besides, her poor baby died for that SOB David.
And who could forget Rahab the Ho.
my profile says that i have only made 86 posts?!?!
wth?!?
where are all my awesome posts from the past???.
i keep reading that jehovah's witnesses are in effect monsters.
i keep reading that they kinda leave chaos and distrust in their wake.
so i simply wondered if anyone had anything nice to say about them?.
What has "nice" got to do with it?
Serial killers can be "nice!"
oh really.

I started a thread about the movie Heaven is for Real movie, had no takers though.😥
The movie seemed far fetched and convoluted.
I remember as a kid the sunday school teacher telling me the streets of heaven were paved with gold, and even my tiny tiddly-peep brain thought " WTF!"

I hate to break it to you undercover witness, but blind admiration of JWs, and a superficial knowledge of their teachings does not earn you the honorary title of "undercover witness."
Your naivete is touching in a "talking out of your ass" kind of way.
lol for some reason i was just reminded about the time a circuit overseer told my mom a good method of talking to householders was to say the following things "i don't have too much time to talk to you" or "i'm very busy today so i'll only share this one thought.
" .
i know if i had been at the door i woulda said "if you are so busy why the hell are you wasting time knocking on my door butthead?
I can't count how many times I would be at a door with a sister, who would say:
"I realize you must be busy so I'll be brief...."
and then proceeded to spend at least ten minutes giving a presentation. Longer if the person didn't object.
wow, what a surprise that was!.
i expected a warm welcome, as this was someone i have known for a very long time.. nope, uber disfellowshipped jw.
totally caught me off guard.
Yep, I had a DF person tell me to stop talking to them as it would look bad for them if someone saw us.
It was at the mall and I didn't even realize the person was DF.
hi all.. i have noticed that many of our forum members have sought professional help from counsellors who deal with ones like us who have broken free from high control groups or "cults".. my self esteem has been rocked by recent events in the cong, and while i know ttatt it still has taken my joy in life away quite a bit.. as you all know, mentally i broke free from the org several years ago, but now that i am trying to start making the physical break, i feel really unsettled and nervous.. i wonder if a good counsellor could assist in helping me clarify and sort my feelings and emotions , and provide help to take practical steps to cut all ties with the org?.
if anyone can provide ideas of good counsellors, it would be appreciated.. thanks everyone!.
Hmm interesting. Is this the new direction for treatment of "deleted" servants and elders, do you think?
