Aren't heavenly beings asexual non-gender (sounds like leftist heaven to me) and isn't that why they had to become human and male to get some - according to the bible anyway. Lol btw.

New to the truth

by MatthewHewey in

jw
friends

i have been meeting with member's of the kingdom hall, and i have attended a few times now on sundays.

i'd like to discuss experiences with this group since i'm new.

so far, i love it.

This religion is a cult. If you want to hang out with them fine, but, think very very seriously about joining. Keep asking questions google the shit out of this group there is plenty of horror stories out there from people who been there done that.

The JW religion is similar to scientology in the way it's structured and the methods they use to control members so buyer beware. You owe it to yourself not get swept up in how good it feels and not take this "niceness" on face value. Remember things that appear too good to be true usually are and strangers that are too nice from the getgo usually want something. In your case what they want is to recruit you then brag about it something along the lines of how they converted the tattooed guy with the piercings, yay us, praise Jehovah. Once they have you baptized the honeymoon period will wear off, believe me.

What to Do....Please Help. Awakening JW for a very long time

by CovertsadJW in

good afternoon , .

i have been having doubts for many years and as most jw's i have certainly not done myself a favor by suppressing all of my critical thinking.

i am married with 3 kids and my wife and i are inactive, but my wife has made it very clear in speech and action that she wants to go to all meetings, field service, and indoctrinate our kids.

First off, remember you have rights as a person and a father. You have a right to a say in how your children are raised and what they are taught.

It's possible if your wife has been inactive going back to meetings for a while might just cure her of wanting to go at all because they really suck.

You're not the crazy one, every doubt you're having about this religion is rational and normal.

Leah Remini on Paul Higgis accusations

by John Davis in

i was wondering what people think of leah remini's comments on the paul higgins accusations.

she has said that the 5 women that have accused him of rape and sexual harassment are not to be trusted.

she says that because 3 of them want to stay anonymous that must mean that they are not accurate statements.

From even the little I've seen of their tactics it would'nt be beneath scientology at all to resort to setting someone up. They seem to have no scruples whatsoever, no road to low in going after their enemies

Jehovah's Witnesses to settle sex-abuse case - San Diego Reader (California, US), Friday, January 12, 2018

IMO, I doubt whether the money WT has paid out so far amounts to coffee money for them. They could probably afford to keep paying out victims in dribs and drabs like that forever most likely have even accounted for it.

Their brand would have to take a major hit for any real damage to occur. A hit they couldn't recover from. A massive class action possibly. One that exposed their culty ways in detail in HD on news screens everywhere for a couple of months so their name became synonymous with weirdo cult in a big way, far bigger than what we've seen so far, maybe? Reports about coruption or a tax exempt scandal could take them out.

BETH-SHAN: Images of Rutherford's Bomb Shelter

by Bloody Hotdogs! in

for any who are interested, rutherford's infamous bomb shelter at "beth-shan" has been officially documented by the city of san diego historical resource board.

they have photographs, plans, and an interview with the couple who built their home on the land (5330 le barron rd).

a pdf of the full report can be found here:.

A Beth Sham bomb shelter is reasonable considering it was built for returning bible heros and what not, gotta keep em safe. It's a wonder they didn't incorporate concubine quarters into the design.

Leaked 2018 Elders Training Video RE: Elders Reviewing Pionieers

by pale.emperor in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhq5viughny&feature=youtu.be.

quite frankly im disturbed at the lack of love and compassion.

especially for the first sister they talk about!.

sparrowdown

It's like they're looking for reasons to fire pioneers...hmmm, sick ones at least. Maybe potential liability issues for them if you don't have health insurance and you drop dead out in FS or something.

I notice the sick pioneer sister is getting more time in than the completely healthy brother they are reviewing for appointment.

We've seen the "bunker video" well now we have the "wanker video" compliments of Tightpants Tomo.

It's a pity Anthony and his six buddies didn't see child abuse as a "disturbing trend" at some point.
