  Oh that is a great idea WakeMe!

  Show them the ridiculous stuff from the other faith, and once they start mocking it, show the stuff from JW!

  Cue "deer in headlights" moment

  Congratulations to the W. T.

  i think congratulations are long overdue to the wt for the excellent job they do of keeping members dumbed-down and feeling safe inside the cocoon of a hive mind.

  they tell us that the best education program in the world is reading the wt publications but here is a conversation i had with my uber elder buddy yesterday that may prove otherwise.

  we were talking about the october broadcast and the question of whether gods name should be included or not, when i made an offhand comment about the compiling of the new testament and the canonisation of its books.

  Great thread Joey!

  Yes, the GB have been so successful at making JWs PROUD of being deluded and ignorant of so many things (that just a basic google search would change....)

  Serious Issue ....... that MUST be Addressed !!!!!

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  this is such an important issue, more and more people are succumbing to what must be some viral outbreak wreaking havoc in the world.. i'm talking about unnecessary punctuation.. it's easy to become infected.

  you want to write something and add some emphasis so you add an exclamation mark to make it "important!

  " but dang, it's not important enough is it??

  Cool thread Simon.

  I am guilty of using the ... to excess, and I appreciate the reminder that it looks lame.

  I do it to denote a pause in thinking... or a pause in thought.

  Sorry... I wont do it again...for now...

  Hey all!

  So, we are all aware of the appalling WT study article from a few weeks back called "Do You Have the Facts?"

  https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-august-2018/do-you-have-facts/

  It annoyed me so much, that I sent an email to the Podcast "Thank God I'm Atheist" hosted by two former Mormons. Their episode #358 highlighted how the Mormon leadership (GB equivalent) gave a stern talk to all Mormons last week telling them to "never read, listen or watch anti-Mormon apostate stuff!"

  It was so amazing to hear that within a week of each other, both JWs and LDS/Mormons all received the same counsel!

  So, I sent the guys an email drawing their attention to the WT study article.

  They had fun briefly ripping it apart! :

  this great article is well worth downloading and keeping.

  it well explains the techniques often used by high control groups (such as jws).. so much of it will resonate with us here.. https://lifelessons.co/personal-development/howtogetsmarter/.

  This was Sherrie enjoying a great personal chat with the honourable Justice Peter McClellan at the Australian Parliament House after the proceedings on Monday. His dignity is wonderful. The team that he worked with did an outstanding job of shining a spotlight on all the organisations - especially JWs. It did not escape their attention that the attitude displayed by the JWs was appalling. Fortunately the scope of the CARC allows for continual follow up as to how the institutions are doing. If failings still exist, the govt and its agencies will be holding the institutions to account!

  Brilliant thread!

  Yes, it was an amazing experience to see the wave of momentum in Canberra that day! It is simply amazing that "satan's wicked world" is making such great advances in tackling, owning up to and apologising for past errors in handling matters.

  Why is it that "Jehovah's organisation " can't do the same?

  Happily, the govt, and all agencies are WELL aware that the JW organisation is being deliberately non compliant and obstructive. It has NOT escaped the attention of those that matter - and action continues to mount against the WTSociety.

  As we like to say to any still in JWs, "Prosecution is not Persecution"
