  The most sick statement put in JW print

  by Chook in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wt 1973 p568.

  "did you know, for example, that mothers and fathers that stroke the genitals of their fretful babies to keep them quiet are unwittingly encouraging them to become maturbators later on?".

  what sick fu... writing this article thought the the average person did this to keep kids quiet..

  The very notion is odd!

  What do you think would have happened to you if...

  you found out about ttatt way back in the 70's or maybe the 80's (basically before the internet) and you thought that you were all alone in this knowledge?

  what do you think would have happened to you?

  no jehovahs-witness.com, no john cedars, no arc, no jwfacts.com and no crisis of conscience to fall back on.

  Yes that's correct LevelThePlayingField!

  If a person is "an honesthearted truth-seeker" and values honesty and facts rather than mistruths and propaganda, then it seems inevitable that they will find their way OUT of the society.

  After all, didn't Jesus say "you will know the truth, and the TRUTH will set you free"!?

  Jehovah's Love - or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Death

  by undercover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this idea was inspired by another post i saw (but forget who or where) referencing the mootness of delaying armageddon now that the 1914 generation is gone.

  (i just skimmed over the post and thread, and didn't give it much thought until later).

  wt doctrine basically says that jehovah, through his undeserved love, allows wickedness so that people can hear, and accept, the 'truth', thus being saved from the destruction of armageddon.

  Yes, great thread!

  If God REALLY cared about minimising suffering, then he should have started again after Adam and Eve!

  That wold have saved Billions of people the agony of death....

  OR, when the 'flood' happened!

  That too gave the chance to start a fresh!...but in only one lifetime things went bad again??

  It is almost like God likes waiting till there is a large number ready to be destroyed!

  Are JWs the most gossiping people on earth?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all gossip.

  it is only human.

  watchtower actually tries to instruct adherents not to gossip and it can land a jw in front of a judicial committee—some do try to follow this admonition.

  The gossip-mill is the most powerful tool in the hands of the society, both from a local congregation level, right up to the highest level of the society!

  Elders use it strategically to ensure that people are spoken ill of, even if no judicial action can actually be taken!

  Circuit ASSembly low-lites

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so in an effort to relieve some pressure here are what i term the low-lites of yesterday's assembly that i had to endure for the sake of family still in and my progressing fade.

  apologies in advance for being pretty long winded.. these may not all be the actual words used, but the ones i use are close, and they pretty well say what was said from the platform.. right off the bat in the opening prayer the praises of the governing body were spoken.

  thanking the g.b.

  I don't know how anyone can sit through that sort of stuff. The pure manipulation and propaganda is mind blowing.

  Thanks for sharing the report, I take my hat off to you for being able to sit through it

  So a simple question for them is:

  If God has been directing the organisation through the F&DS class since the start of the society, then did God get so many things wrong, or is that proof that God was not directing their message??

  They can't have it both ways!

  Well my journey started from simply following the societies direction to read all of the old publications. That was the stupidest thing they should ever have recommended to people!

  The things I saw and found opened my eyes, and that led me to doing more additional research online. So perhaps I would've reached the same conclusions pre-Internet, but the Internet certainly assisted!

  To know that we are not alone is a big thing

  WT “Study” for 11th Sept 2016 – “Why Must We ‘Keep on the Watch’”?

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was really puzzled when i opened this edition of the wt magazine at the above “study”.

  what on earth has this picture at the top of page 13 got to do with christian watchfulness?

  i wasn’t making a connection at all.

  That quote but StarTrekAngel alluded to, has to be one of the most disturbing and disquieting comments the society has ever written !

  If that does not smack of cult like control then nothing does.

  Coming Out To My JW Sister

  by Ame SF in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  now, i have been mentally "awake" for quite a while, but i'll just say march/april this year.

  i won't go into detail about what it was that made me "realize" everything, so don't bother asking.. so, i've known for years that i wasn't like most girls in my classes, kingdom hall, and just in general.

  from a very young age i had that obvious interest in the same sex, but seeing as i was seemingly the only one feeling that way i would brush it off and eventually i started getting interested in guys.

  Well written.

  Maintain your dignity and self respect as you travel this path. There will be those who will make you doubt yourself, or question your self worth. Don't be surprised if some act differently to what you expect...

  Ensure that those sort of people are not allowed to take away your dignity.

  We wish you unconditional support!
