  The average Witness will continue to follow Watchtower leadership whether right or wrong.

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i hate to say this, but given my own experience as a jw for almost 3 decades, i am beginning to believe the average jw will continue to look to and be guided by the gb regardless of whether they are right or wrong.. despite all the scandals and negative media attention the watchtower organisation is receiving, life seems to go on as normal in jw land.

  it's truly bizarre!!.

  clearly, the gbs tactic of mostly hiding away from the media is clearly working for them.

  There has been a steady decline in the "growth rate" for some years now...in EDUCATED and ADVANCED nations.

  The only real growth the society is experiencing is in underdeveloped nations with little education...

  For those who have invested their whole lives - well, there may be little hope of them awakening. But as for NEW ones coming in, I think those days are over for the society.

  Watchtower's unscriptual boasting about works

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  nothing big here, just a little musing on this scripture at ephesians 2.8-9 that definately states that only faith saves, not works, in case men start to boast about their amazing works.

  "8for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of god, 9not of works, that no one would boast.

  well my word, i would definately say witnesses *do nothing but boast*, especially now on jw broadcast.

  Thinking for myself - without any guilt.

  Recognising that we are not bad people simply because we don't follow the edicts of 7 men in NY.

  Do you feel comfortable being an apostate?

  i always found it uncomfortable to informal witness to people but trying to convince a jw to jump ship brings much more pleasure..

  Watchtower rips off Disney

  by BluesBrother in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no doubt this point has been made before but i see no harm in emphasising it.

  my family heard on the grapevine that "the society" had people who used to animate for disney.

  well , if that is true , it certainly shows.

  Unlike Sophia and Caleb and their parents the Disney characters are not judgemental bigoted homophobic and arrogant gits who longingly desire to see 99.9% of the population destroyed.....

  If you had two years to live what changes in lifestyle would you do?

  by Chook in

  re-evaluating time and tying lose ends can be complex.

  don't worry this chook won't go down without a fight.

  just think if i had a short period of time i would let my hair down .

  Fair enough. Had me worried there mate.

  Yes, life is finite. I see your point.

  If I had 2 years, I would ensure that it was not wasted on unimportant stuff. Every day needs to be enjoyed...even the little things in life.
