How many JDubs would believe this ridiculous statement?
by Sour Grapes ina circuit overseer or a member of the gibbering body is giving a talk about demonism and he says the following, "there was an elder in a congregation in california who let his 8-year-old daughter watch disney movies that involved witches, gremlins, magic, and sorcery.
many may feel that they are harmless movies and are just entertainment.
well, the 8-year-old daughter actually brought a blue smurf doll to the public talk and watchtower study.

freddo, I like that point about being an imperfect man . . . They use that all the time as an excuse for themselves, but not for others.

This is the latest Catholic scandal . . . And all that JWs in my area have been talking about gleefully. Have any other PIMO's here experienced that? Of course we here see the irony. As a matter of fact, when they said it was over a thousand cases over the years, that immediately brought to mind the Australian Royal Commission, which was also about over 1,000 cases of unreported abuse. Has anybody had a chance to bring that to anybody's attention as tactfully as possible? I certainly will try if I have the chance.

Was the Marlboro Man ever a Jehovah's Witness?
by sparky1 indarrell winfield, perhaps the most famous marlboro man died in 2015 at the age of 85. he portrayed the marlboro man from 1968-1989. his brother was a long time bethelite named marion "bud" winfield.
many ex-bethelites probably remembered bud as one of the receptionists at the 124 desk.
bud died in the year 2000 at the age of 65. my question is, does anyone know if darrell was raised as a witness and left the religion early in life?

Wikipedia says that 2 of the Marlboro Men were HIV positive, and Darrell Winfield, among a few others, died of cancer according to Snopes.

Well besides the Russian dressing he reportedly used on his salad, he also had a roulette table at his casino, which can be said to be related to Russian Roulette. He also hurries around a lot, in which case he could be said to be 'rushin'.

by eyeuse2badub inhow do you think they lived with themselves?.
how do you think that the israelite soldiers that were ordered by king david to take uriah to the front lines and then retreat behind him so the enemy could slaughter him live after that event?

Whether in the 1980's or 3,000 years before that, surrendering your conscience to a religion has resulted in many the atrocity.

Old Magazine, New Perspective
by neat blue dog ingoing through old junk and came across a 22 year old study watchtower, february 1996. looking at all my underlining and marking it was just nauseating how meaningless it all was.
this "study" wasn't study at all, just a by rote exercise, an old jw custom one of the primary motivations of which is to stop others from judging you as "weak" if they don't see it all desecrated, which must surely indicate a vigorous study session.
moving on to other articles i was confronted with more evidence of a cult that i was blind to the first time around, including an article praising those who died for refusing blood such as a pregnant mother and a boy pictured here.. .

Going through old junk and came across a 22 year old study Watchtower, February 1996. Looking at all my underlining and marking it was just nauseating how meaningless it all was. This "study" wasn't study at all, just a by rote exercise, an old JW custom one of the primary motivations of which is to stop others from judging you as "weak" if they don't see it all desecrated, which must surely indicate a vigorous study session. Moving on to other articles I was confronted with more evidence of a cult that I was blind to the first time around, including an article praising those who died for refusing blood such as a pregnant mother and a boy pictured here.
Then there was the article doing damage control from bad press and doubts:
earnest prayer to Jehovah is the first step . . . do not hesitate to ask for help from loving overseers . . . They will help you trace the source of your doubts, which may be due to pride or some wrong thinking . . . Has the reading or listening to apostate ideas or worldly philosophy introduced poisonous doubts? . . . those who have become victims of apostasy got started . . . by first complaining about how they felt they were being treated . . . act quickly to rout out of the mind any tendency to complain, to be dissatisfied with the way things are done . . . Loyally imitate Peter, who resolutely stated 'Lord, whom shall we go away to?
Then there was a life story of a Hector R. Priest, ironically called "My Lifelong Hope - Never to Die", which concludes by saying:
My burning desire is to live to see Jehovah's name cleared of all reproach. Will I realize my lifelong hope of never dying? That, of course, remains to be seen.
Considering he would be 107 years by now, I guess we all know how that worked for him.

JW-RUSSIA.org cross image
by neat blue dog ini was just browsing the russian jw site and saw this image that appears to represent christian persecution by showing handcuffs in front of prison bars that appear to form a cross.
which would be weird because they don't even believe in the cross, or maybe it was clip art from another source and they didn't notice.
or last and most likely i'm seeing things that aren't there 😜.
