  Car commercial reminded me of JWs

  by neat blue dog in

  on the radio today, an ad for a car dealership said:.

  'if a salesman came to your door to sell you a car, would you buy it from him?

  of course not, you'd go online and do your research.'.

  Yes! A brilliant illustration.

  Yet witnesses, especially born-ins, readily accept the religion handed down from their parents....without doing any comparitive research...

  Jehovah's people are not happy people

  by Phoebe in

  i finally stopped attending the meetings about 4 months go.

  i won't be going back - ever.. but i've decided the best reply to the watchtower is to be happy and i do try to be happy every day even thought i wasted my entire life on this religion.

  i cherish every day, practice mindfulness and do my best to be content with the life i have.. it is only now that i see that most jws i know are deeply unhappy people.

  "Life is so tough...something to be endured..."

  Witnesses are so burdened with such thinking....

  YES!!

  Thanks @wake!

  It just seems that witnesses are required to, (and happily do) switch off their thinking abilities when they go to the convention!

  No logic is required, and no reasoning ability is permitted!

  Especially is that evident when it comes to the Friday video that attempts to rewrite the history about the 1975 debacle....

  The FACTS are in print! HOW can the society think they can change history?

  Episode 6 - Life Gets Dark As One Of Jehovah's Witnesses - Is Live Now

  by dubstepped in

  2. experiences

  episode 6 of this jw life is now live.

  it is a brutally honest, at times dark, look into what it was like behind the scenes in our lives.

  people don't talk openly about ugly parts of their lives and it leads to other people feeling alone when theirs gets ugly.

  Just finished it now.

  Thanks for your honesty as you open up your life before us all. Thanks also to your wonderful wife. I am sure that without her support in life and without her acceptance of you doing these podcasts, things would have been very different.

  I could relate to so many of your points!

  You are helping to give a voice to so many who have been affected and shaped by life within the cult.

  "No junk mail". How witnesses ignore these signs!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as we know, many people have "no junk mail" signs on their home letterboxes.

  this clearly means that they do not want unsolicited mail or advertising material.. so how are witnesses getting around this?.

  during the campaign to distribute the convention invitations, when they come across a house with "no junk mail", they are just putting the leaflet inside an envelope and hand writing "to the householder" on the front and putting it in the letterbox!.

  Good points guys!

  Yes, it is "not junk!" they would say...

  Hey side point:
  

  Is a "no junk male" a guy without genitals?

  Russian Ban upheld - JWs lose appeal

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the supreme court of russia has rejected the jehovah's witnesses' appeal.. https://jw-russia.org/news/17071719-195.html.

  july 17, 2017 the supreme court of russia has missed the last chance to restore law and justice for the 175,000 russian citizens professing the religion of jehovah's witnesses.

  it took less than an hour of the meeting a panel of three supreme court judges, to leave unchanged the decision taken earlier by the judge yuri ivanenko, the liquidation and ban any and all registered organizations of the religion.since there is no more effective domestic remedies, the believers will appeal to the european court of human rights and other international organizations.. *note: as reported by the jworg source, jw-russia.org.

  Fisherman, are you proposing that Jehovah caused the earthquakes as retribution?!?!

  wow....so he would rather cause many people to be injured or lose their lives instead of influencing a favourable court decision?

  Sounds loving to me...
