  Oh don't get me started on this topic!

  I actually started a thread about it a few years back, as it is a popular thing here in the region of Sydney we are in too!

  It seems to be almost a peer pressure thing amongst all the families who want to appear to be spiritual and righteous!

  I can name 5 local families doing it, and that in turn has made others who would never consider it, start to think that they too should go down that path!

  It is truely reprehensible to deprive children of the social growth and interaction that school provides!

  There will be a generation of emotionally stunted, self entitled, over righteous, judgemental 17 year olds (with 10 year old development levels) amongst witnesses. These children will be left floundering in the real world when they are adults!

  Heb 10:34 & the Russian Situation

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as would be expected we've seen a lot of the "persecution" scriptures bandied about recently in connection with the likely imminent ban on the org in russia.

  they like to claim that being targets of persecution they are seeing the fulfilment of those verses.

  but they conveniently ignore what the bible teaches about how christians should respond to said prophesied persecution.... for example, no one is referencing the above verse which talks of the apostles "joyfully accepting the plundering of their belongings.

  Nothing says "high control cult-like group" better than a prescribed direction by the leaders to write these letters!

  Sure, all witnesses will say they are doing it "of their own free will". BUT would they have decided to do this if the GB had not directed them to do so??

  Hmmm..think not!

  In fact, they would be fearful of being seen to be trying to be involved with political affairs!

  "It is BECAUSE I value Truth and Honesty that I have chosen to no longer attend"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. experiences

  yes, i used that line when questioned by someone as to why we no longer attend.. it needs to be used calmly and without any arrogance.

  then this direct, yet simple comment can't help but make the person think!.

  There is no excuse for such rantings.....

  They need to be accepted for what there truely are; the deranged teachings of an embarrassment of a man.

  But of course, he was chosen by God you know.....(😜😳)

  with mark sanderson appearing recently on jw to ask all the witnesses for there help on the russia ban.

  it is a giant slap to the face of all the children and members who have been affected by this cult.

  as the royal commission two weeks ago asked or requested if one of the governing body dudes could appear or even be online feed to the commission, but of course they said heck no.. .

  Yes, the GB seem to be inciting such "persecution"!

  If I walk up to a dog and stir him up, then get upset when he bites me, is it the dog's fault or mine??!

  As "Jesus" said about the religious leaders in his day "they strain out the gnat, and gulp down the camel"

  or

  "they bind up heavy loads on the shoulders of others"

  Seriously ?! Why dont they focus on the good things those brothers are doing : THEY ARE AT THE MEETINGS! Why are they being scolded for their attire?

  Surley, if themeetings are deemed to be so vital, isn't it good that they were even there!?

  GB asks every JW to give Putin their home address

  by MrHappy in

  1. social
  2. current

  jw's around the globe have been encouraged to write letters to putin and the russian government.

  they are expected to give their personal details on the envelope.

  i appreciate that this might be normal when writing to your own government if they are tolerant, but is this not a bit strange that the gb want to give putin the address of every jw in the world?

  Oh Stephane! That sounds so sad! So sorry that conversation happened.

  Well done in making those points.

  It truly is amazing just how manipulated and distorted witnesses are.
