so their the very essence of love so we are taught so then why at luke 14:26 jesus says in order to be his follower you must hate your mother, father, wife, brothers and sisters.
then you must renounce everything you have.
wow just plain wow, and they call me crazy!
Great thread!
Yes supposedly "God is Love", and the bible is "his word" and the way we get to know him and his personality right?
Well, he seems like a crazy psycho who kills everyone when he doesn't get his own way! Hardly a nice guy.
If humans acted this way, we would lock them up and call them crazy.
surely someone who eagerly looks forward to the death of billions of people (including babies and children) is not emotionally healthy?.
yet, that is the key belief "happily" anticipated by witnesses.... food for thought?.
Yes 'All or nothing', I agree! It simply defies logic that most witnesses don't see this for what it is - sick...
A child can see that is wrong, but somehow as adults manipulated by the teachings of the WT Society, we not only thought it perfectly ok, but also "loving of God"!
weird....
just watching that train-wreck of a song in the june 2017 broadcast.
(btw, yet another one filmed in australia i see).
"i can get back up!
Yup That's it!
Thanks for posting the pics.
The song goes "I can get back up!" while showing a VW Up!.
OK, so its a small thing, but made me chuckle anyway....

great video for showing how to define a cult.
Brilliant video!
Thanks for sharing!
watching rated r movies?
maybe a little gambling in vegas?
when i was in high school i went to the mall with my friend at the time, who happened to be a female.
Guilty? Oh about everything....
That is the way with religious groups. FOG (Fear Obligation Guilt)
Once we let that go, life becomes so much happier! And yet that doesn't mean we become evil either. We simply stop being emotionally entrapped by stupidity!
i've seen very few carts in western australia.
the only one i have seen is near the front entrance of the perth royal hospital and on the several occasions that i have seen it, they are there all day, at least during the week.
i've stopped and had long conversations twice now and both times when i have approached them they've told me to take whatever publications interest me and then we've started talking.this last visit i brought up the royal commission.
Nice post Listener.
Maybe something you said will replay in their minds.....and help them awaken....

"I can get back Up!" etc...
Did anyone notice the type of car she drove?
I tried to post a screen shot pic but I am not clever enough to do so.... can someone help please?
i was standing at a red light and i noticed the little cart standing there.
they're barely noticeable and when i continued there was apparently someone on the other side of the street too.
the only problem, the location is a very busy intersection which has virtually no foot traffic and they're hard to see to begin with, as you can see from my vantage point i couldn't even read the cart and three people next to them on this side and two of them on the other side.. .
It has nothing to do with spreading the message.
It is all about keeping witnesses busy and "counting time".
(On the point of keeping witnesses busy, it is just like the "game" we play with kids to try and keep them happy and quiet on a car trip. "Lets see who can stay quiet the longest, and they will be the winner of a prize!". Some kids fall for that...)
Oh, also it creates a status amongst witnesses as to who "qualifies" to do the cart work.
one of the most frustrating things.
when you confront jw's about what they believe they will often deny it.
such as "if your child is disfellowshipped then you can't have contact with them ever again".
If they are following the guidance of the ALMIGHTY Jehovah, they should be PROUD of their policies (no matter how odd) and shout them from the rooftops!
If they try and white-wash them, that says something!
so last night i got an emotional call from a friend, the same friend that recently said "we sound like a cult.
" in last night's conversation she said she was tired of the truth.
tired of jehovah.
What Steve2 said above!!
Tread carefully. (just ask "Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho")
