Dawkins on Jehovah's Witnesses' "Creation" book
by slimboyfat inhas anyone read dawkins new book the god delusion yet?
he discusses the creation book on pages 119-121. he says that he discusses this particular tract only because it has had such a wide circulation - no fewer than 6 of which have been sent to him personally.

Bumped thread.
For no other reason that to say that we had the privilege of seeing Dawkins live this week.
It struck me yet again, just how ignorant and infantile we were as witnesses. We thought we were so "educated", but the ignorance we all had was more a form of arrogance!
Even the youths in the audience posed such thoughtful questions to Mr Dawkins, that demonstrated their education, yet also their humility. (I was struck with just how stupid the average JW would have come across in such a crowd.)

Sometimes it's the little things....
by dubstepped ini'm listening to a podcast where a former elder describes how another elder conducted the watchtower study about hyperbole.
the elder called it hyper-bowl.
soon the whole congregation called it hyper-bowl.

YES!
Great thread Dubstepped.
We had an elder conducting the group study with the Revelation book once who said "Eye-Slave" (instead of a healing ointment "eye-salve")
Everyone started saying "eye-slave" as well.

They have made this trailer, with a note saying "this public service announcement has been made available for media outlets to broadcast at their discretion"
It is kind of an attempt to see if the media will broadcast it if they have a slow news day.....

Hospitality - How not to.....March 2018 study article.
by punkofnice inwhat do you make of this part of the march 2018 watchtower study edition?.
2 among other things, peter urged his brothers: “be hospitable to one another.” (1 pet.
4:9) the word “hospitality” in greek literally means “fondness for, or kindness to, strangers.” note, however, that peter urged his christian brothers and sisters to be hospitable “to one another,” to those whom they already knew and associated with.

So what did the parable of the Good Samaritan show?
That loving hospitality was shown NOT by members of the SAME religion, but actually by an APOSTATE person - someone who was not of the same beliefs...
So why is it that the GB have tried to redefine that message nowadays?
Hmmm

We do exactly the same ToesUp.
But only just today I got abused by a Jw who said that I was "being a smart arse by trying to act all nicely and friendly" to the witnesses who are spreading spreading slanderous stuff around about us.
He literally attempted to redefine our happiness and kindness, as some sort of fake ploy we are putting on!
It amazes me. If our life turned to shit after walking away from the cult, they would gloat over it and say things like "well that's what happens when you leave the truth"
But if our life is happy, successful and defined by kindness, they will say it's all a put-on!
I shouldn't be surprised really. That's cult propaganda at work.

Material such as the film at the end of this years convention confirms that I was right to take my kids out the religion
by jambon1 init’s quite affirming to see the horrific material that they’re serving up at the convention this year.
aside from blatant homophobia, the scenes at the end of the convention that are discussed on another thread stoop to new levels of fear mongering.
it seems to occur to nobody inside the organisation that this kind of material could trigger fear, deprsssion, anxiety, stress.

Brilliant thread!
Thanks for starting it. It really is disturbing to see how bat shit crazy this religion has become. The epitome of paranoia and FOG (fear obligation guilt)
(And thanks @wakeme for the mention)

"World conditions have never been as bad as they are now"
by Sour Grapes ini went to a funeral yesterday and ran into a jdub.
of course, he approached me and it didn't take more than a minute into the conversation for him to get into the jdub gloom and doom mode.
he said that world conditions have never been as bad as they are now.. i looked straight into his eyes and said, "i think that world conditions were a lot worse during world war two.".

Yep, a common complain offered by so many religious people; especially JWs.
Seth Andrews gave a great speech on this:

The whole speech is great! But go to 11:20 to see a good point!

Wow, that quote you listed Dubstepped is disturbing.
Its so eerily similar to the comments that the father of children slain by their grandfather in a murder suicide in Western Australia said this week!
He was quoted as saying "I'm not sad. Don't be sad for them" or words to that effect!
Are those with JW indoctrination that heartless??
