Have JWs written mass letters in defense of the other groups banned in Russia?
What about gay people does WT care? Hmmm strangely silent.

Are we losing our way a bit at JWN?
by nicolaou infirstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.
it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.
i am not bashing jwn - i love this place and appreciate the hard work and expense simon puts in to keep it going.

Even threads about threads go round in circles maybe that's why some that vist might be put off - it's all been done oh oh oh oh it's all been doooooone....befooooooore.

Shows how desperate the elders are to defibrilate some kind of excitement for preaching.
What cong hears this "presentation" doesn't matter cuz nobody cares about formal d2d work anymore - d2d is dead.

JW Refutations of Criticism of Russell and Rutherford
by Duvduv incan someone direct me to jw refutations of the harsh criticisms of charles russell and judge rutherford that are on the internet and youtube?
i am a fair person and insist on hearing both sides to a controversy.
in this case, i would like to know what traditional yw responds to such personal criticisms and alleged changes in beliefs.

You're right was.
JWs don't care about The two R's. Russell and Rutherford are old news to them and they don't give a toss what they did or believed. When I was in very few, if any, people were interested in WT ancient history. They only care about what the GB are doing now and any criticisms of the old dudes would just bounce off their indoctrinated brains, dismissed with a wave of the hand.

Fewer Americans believe in GOD, yet they still believe in the afterlife.

I agree, I think less and less people believe in "God" in the traditional sense anymore. The very formal picture painted by the churches of a literal "God" man sitting on a "throne" in "heaven" is the stuff of days-gone-by sunday schools now. It was used to keep kids "good" or rather obedient but most people that still believe there is more to life than what we can see have moved way beyond that simplistic child's story.

The borg indoctrination teaches it's members how to be self-centered, narcisisstic jerks and calls it "putting Jehovah/the kingdom first."

My 2018 convention review (BR)
by Ray Frankz inso this years convention was all about:.
1) neutrality means not taking sides.
jws must not have any opinions about politics, even if it affects you or your job or your social class directly.. also .

Since JWs are incapable of thinking outside of the box they will now have great boxes to (not) think in.

WT decides for it's members having blood in any form is wrong and JWs go along with that.
WT decides blood fractions are ok and JWs go along with that.
WT decides the internet is dangerous and JWs go along with that.
WT decides the internet is a blessing from Jehovah that can be utilized to advertise the kingdom and JWs go along with that.
WT decides higher education is bad for all regular JWs even though they themselves employ the use of lawyers, accountants, doctors, IT specialists you name it and ordinary JWs just go bleet bleet.
WT decides christians do not vote or join the military and JWs go along with that.
If WT in a flash of new light decided tomorrow it was now ok to vote or join the military JWs would go along with that also.
Conclusion: JWs are not more moral or caring or christlike than any other christians they are just more brainwashed!
More incapable of thinking for themselves and less likely to employ the use of their own individual conscience on matters.
