Jehovahs Witnesses – Does the Sect’s name really mean for what it is ?

by EverApostate in

the term jehovah’s witnesses sounded weird to me even when i was in that cult.

why does god need witnesses to prove his existence?

there is no need for anyone to create a movement called “suns witnesses” or “moons witnesses” – in order to prove its existence and glorify it, because the sun and moon are evident to every species on earth.

Does that make apostates Jehovah's Hostile Witnesses?

Tor1500- "Men are just men...just basic humans..."

You got that part right... basic as f**************ck... Lol. Now calm down everyone just kidding!

Though I will say it seems to me that if they were to call out every man that has spoken crudely, leered at someone creepily or been "handsy" uninvited there would be no entertainment industry left.

What you gotta remember is many young men get sexually harrassed and assualted by predatorial types also but men are less likey to report.

FYI For anyone who wants to downvote - I'm NOT minimizing the impact on women and girls after all I am one and have experienced sexual harrasment and assault first hand #me too.

I just see sexual pests and bullies as a problem for both sexes.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Jehovah's Hearsay Account Repeaters while more accurate doesn't have that same culty ring to it.

Something every JW should watch...

by SplaneThisToMe in

one of us on netflix.

this is a documentary on hasidism.

i wish one day a similar documentary will be made for watchtower.

Agree. Very eye opening fascinating insight into another scary high-control religion. I really felt for those brave people who got themselves out at great personal cost. Also hard to believe that these groups operate in plain sight under the protections of religious freedom. Where does personal rights and freedoms fit into this picture?
