  Doubting Bro:

  Allowed me to realize that there is no true religion. I was already convinced that every other religion was false and beyond redemption. So when I applied their lens to my own religion, I saw they were no different!

  Exactly, agree with every word. That's a two edged sword the WTS has to accept. If they want to teach us to think critically of and rip apart other Faith's, is it any wonder that eventually some of us will stop and do the same to our own belief system? Once you see something it can't be unseen.

  by Simon in

  2. entertainment

  i love gospel music.

  i don't feel like i need to believe in "jebus" to appreciate the music.

  i can't go into a gospel church because i might just get religion again - that or i'll be grabbing the mic on be on the stage waving my hands and praising the lord.. i particularly like dylan's gospel period.

  Not the same obviously (no red stone in the middle) but his ring undeniably has the two V shapes. And I laugh at conspiracy theories, so not sure what to think. Maybe optical illusion.

  Review: 2018 "Be Courageous!" convention

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  friday and saturday were for the most part pretty light, not too culty or doctinal, could easily suck in the unsuspecting.

  there were a couple of hypocritical lines that i took note of however.

  at one point the speaker said, "if your boss fires everyone who disagrees with him but promotes everyone who agrees with him, you might be tempted to agree with him just to keep your job.

  Maybe they should offer a rewards program with a points system . . . Or the option to buy in bulk like Costco 😜

  hoser:

  It definitely had its culty moments, but overall I think that this convention had a noticeably more positive, light-hearted vibe to it. The most culty, scare mongering one of recent years still goes to the 2016 Remain Loyal convention as far as I see. Even the title was a demand for conformity. That convention also featured the bunker video, the one about giving up violin, denying 1975, etc. And the last talk had a really somber tone to it. Even last year's had some disturbing stuff. Although the drama was a light-hearted Fresh off the Boat knockoff, it came with a side of horror tropes, with that flashing vision of the lead actress being turned into salt.

  Medical Treatment for Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Lee Elder in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  if the watchtower speaks for jehovah, and jehovah' s witnesses must accept what the watchtower says, why has god changed his mind so many times about medical treatment?

  here is the historical timeline: http://ajwrb.org/the-historical-persp…/blood-policy-timeline.

  Anyways thats a very handy timeline, putting it all in perspective, not as progressive revelations from God, but as the internal politics of a mixture of multiple deluded and/or business-minded men.
