Australian Jehovah's Witnesses are ignorant of the Australian Royal Commission

by stuckinarut2 in

many here have asked how the average witness in australia is taking the news of the arc findings and conclusions.. is it affecting them?.

sorry to say, hardly any are even aware of the facts.

those that are, have been convinced that all the publicity is "apostate lies and satanic propaganda".

Will those proceedings be broadcast live via the web as the original proceedings were?

Jehovah's Limp Witnesses Pointed Me to JW.org When I Was Willing to Talk

by steve2 in

several months ago i approached a nice young couple who were standing by a jw literature stand in my local community.

they were pleasant and polite but incredibly stilted when it came to answering my "innocent" questions about their beliefs.

this was the occasion of jws featuring the article headlined "is religion dying?".

They didn't want to talk with you because of the Demon standing next to you holding your apostate hand!

Yes, sadly,one elder I know is going around saying that "the ARC was full of praise for how well the society cooperated with the enquiry"

Sheeplike?? A Christian Requirement or WT Controlling mechanism?

by BluesBrother in

when we were practising witnesses we heard a lot about the need to be "sheeplike" , having a sheeplike attitude and personality .

a typical comment might be :.

"lasting peace & happiness just ahead" 2009 p 30.

Why Did JWs Abandon Brooklyn for the Sticks?

by Room 215 in

i may have missed this, but can anyone tell me what was the pretext the gb concocted to justify their abandonment of a perfectly suitable, high-profile, high-visibility complex in what is arguably the world's greatest metropolis for the bucolic isolation of upstate new york.

any how does the move square with their purported belief in the imminence of armageddon?
