“AndersonsInfo”: “. . . the program will also be available on “On Demand” and other similar services after the show airs on ID Discovery (“Discovery ID” in some markets).”

Unfortunately the particular “on-demand” channels available on our cable service, Rogers Cable, here in Canada are different than the “on-demand” channels available in the USA.

“Watchtower-Free”: “I will upload and provide link.”

We’re all counting on you, buddy, especially us folks up here in the Great White North of Canada. Thank you so much in advance for your philanthropic endeavor in uploading this and providing the link! Please write yourself a little post-it note or something to make sure that you definitely won’t forget. I’m pretty much biting my nails on this one. Make sure you post an update on this thread with your link as soon as it becomes available. Thanks again. Much appreciated!

Your "Things That Make You Go Hmmm?" List

by FlyingHighNow in

i'll wager that the number is close to 100 percent.

what number?

the number of jws who have lists--lists of things that make them go hmmm or even wha'???

SAHS

The thing that really did it for me was the huge combination of things which just don’t add up! When you think of it, those sure are quite a lot of things that would discredit any organization from being legitimate or trustworthy – but especially one which claims to be the one and only true organization in all the earth!

It reminds me of that little game with the song which I remember they had on the kid’s show Sesame Street called something like “Which One of These Things Is Just Like the Other?” where they compared different things to see how specific things were similar to other things. For example, a car and a bus are similar and go together because they both transport people on the road, but a pineapple and a typewriter are not similar and thus do not go together or belong with each other. Now, using the analogy of this simple kid’s game and song on Sesame Street, an organization such as the WTS, which claims to be the only “true” religion in all the earth, and the Christianity embodied by the Lord Jesus Christ – those two things would go together or belong with each other about as much as a banana and the planet Mercury. (I.e., they woudn’t by any stetch of the imagination.) That’s right, children – the WTS and the Christianity of Jesus Christ simply do not go together and do not belong with each other.

So, making the WTS “fit” with, or belong to, the Christianity which began with the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ would certainly not be in any way logical even to those little kids on the show Sesame Street playing that little game “Which One of These Things Is Just Like the Other?” Those two things are obviously dissimilar to any young child – so, no wonder us adults have no trouble at all seeing the difference. Most simply put, they just don’t add up. . . . . Hmmm.

To “Balaamsass2” & “Stirred”: Thanks for those above links, but too bad they both link to only a very short preview clip hardly more than a minute (1':08") long. It would certainly be great to find a link to that entire episode, which is entitled “If The End Is Coming So Soon Why Do You Need An Education?” (part of the “Deadly Devotion” series on the American “Investigation Discovery” channel).

will the jw logo become a flag?

with the unveiling of the new jw logo, and all of the emphasis placed on it , will the borg dare to put it on a flag?

i hope they do!

imagine all whom would wake up with such an act!

SAHS

“JW GoneBad”: “You'd expect featured on the front page of this 100 year memorial tract... the Bible, an illustration of Jesus Christ or something as sacred!”

Now there’s a good point! It only goes to show just how much the WTS has in reality strayed from both those things – the Bible and Jesus Christ. I’m surprised they haven’t prominently put photo portraits of the current members of the GB on that new memorial tract. They would much sooner feature photos of Microsoft president Bill Gates or the late Apple president Steve Jobs than they would that old bearded dude – what was his name again, . . . . oh ya, our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ!

The Reason Why JWs Won't Leave The Cult Is Because They Won't Think!

by minimus in

jw
friends

they simply refuse to think, to reason, to ponder.

they are lazy!.

even if they might feel that something isn't right, they won't research an issue or a question.

SAHS

To “daringhart13”: That was one of the best and most insightful articles I have read about how ignorance and fear completely saturate the whole JW culture. Thank you for posting that link (http://darrinhart.hubpages.com/hub/Jehovahs-Witnesses-and-The-Chosen-Path-of-Ignorance). It’s truly amazing how people can be so fervently dedicated and blindly obedient to “God's spirit-directed organization” when in fact they basically no nothing at all about this apparently all-important, all-powerful organization! The WTS is really in effect yet another most poignant and intriguing psychological experiment in cultural conformity and mind control.

No Common Sense (About Convention)

by EmptyInside in

jw
friends

well,the guilt trip worked in getting them to the international convention,even though,for some,it put their health at great risk.. i'm glad that an elderly relative showed some common sense and realized she couldn't make the convention.

but,people still treated her oddly about not going.. one of her friends,who had a stroke in the past,thought about not attending,only to get screamed at by her so-called friends.

she did go,but it was hard on her.

SAHS

“EmptyInside”: “I'm glad that an elderly relative showed some common sense and realized she couldn't make the convention. But, people still treated her oddly about not going.”

Well, if she did go and attend, she just might have had an opportunity to touch the suit jacket of one of the GB members, or even of one of their top-ranking representatives, and be healed from all her maladies right there on the spot! Or one such “glorious ones” could have announced the opportunity for all ailing ones to come up and touch the edge of the stage platform – and be healed! See what she missed out on.

[That indeed be clever sarcasm. Yep. Sarcasm that be. Yep indeed.]

If the Governing Body Told You They Love You All Very Much, What Would Your Reply Be?

by steve2 in

jw
friends

in a letter in the 2013 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses, the governing body sign off with the words, "we love you all very much".

these words were later echoed by one of the governing body in an address to french jehovah's witnesses in july this year.

these words sound so marvellously compelling and heartfelt - goosebump inducing, even.. imagine the governing body wrote these words to you or expressed them to you in person- yes to you reading these very words.

SAHS

I could say the following:

Now, do you love all the thousands of children and babies killed/murdered worldwide over several decades by your blood transfusion policy?

Do you love all us decent folks who have died as a direct result of your little stint with not allowing organ transplants?

And do you love all those young folks who spent years in prisons, some having been brutally raped, due to your phase of not allowing “alternative military service”?

And what about all those poor unfortunate young people who have suffered severe depression, including those who ended up committing suicide, because they thought they might have sinned against the holy spirit because of a lengthy record of “sexual uncleanness”/“loose conduct” or even just masturbation – the distinct possibility of which you occasionally have explicitly implied? Do you love them too?*

* (Examples of subtle, and not-so-subtle, considerations of that distinct possibility: [Regarding masturbation:] “My father then showed me a few scriptures to help me see that I was not ‘too far gone,’ and then some more scriptures to be sure I understood the seriousness of my wrong course.” – Young People Ask, vol. 1, chap. 25, p. 182; “Hence, if you have a problem with masturbation, you need not conclude that you have committed the unforgivable sin. The key is to resist the urge and never to give up your fight!” – Awake!, Nov. 2006, p. 19; “Have You Sinned Against the Holy Spirit?,” “‘There is a sin that does incur death.’—1 JOHN 5:16.” – main study article title and key Scripture heading, Watchtower, July 15, 2007, p. 16; etc., etc.)

Thanks for the heads up! Could somebody please upload that full one-hour episode “Witness to Murder” to YouTube or maybe their own online shared storage? I live in Canada, and unfortunately it is not going to be shown up here. I just checked, and it is only listed on the American “Investigation Discovery” site http://www.investigationdiscovery.com/tv-shows/tv-schedule.htm but not on the Canadian version http://www.investigationdiscovery.ca/Schedule.aspx.

On the American “Investigation Discovery” channel, the episode “Witness to Murder” will be shown this Wednesday, August 20, 2014 at 9:00 p.m. EST, as well as Thursday, August 21st at 12:00 a.m. (midnight) and Sunday, August 24th at 10:00 a.m. If somebody would be so kind as to somehow upload this episode somewhere, then all us folks up here in Canada (the “Great White North,” eh) would be extremely appreciative!

Thank you in advance. Take care down there in the Good Old US of A.

Do you think that the Jehovahs Witness religion would be better /worse if their were an equal number of male/female on the G.B.?

of course this is a hypothetical question , it will never happen .?

but what if it did , what do you think the society would be like if it did happen .?.

let your imaginations run wild .

Unfortunately, the WTS is really not hardly any different than the era of Mr. Misogyny himself, “Judge” Rutherford, who made his famous remark regarding women: “What is a woman anyway, but a hank of hair and a bag of bones.”

Woman may have, as “Paris” pointed out, “about 10 times more white matter than men do,” but, unfortunately for them in WT land, they have about zero times more erectile tissue than men. (As in, male exterior plumbing.)

Yes, folks, the WTS never was too synonymous with purely logical and intellectual reason!

“losingit”:

“The Trinity of Modern JWS:

Jehovah, the Father

GB, the Son

JW.ORG , the Holy Spirit”

Actually, I believe that your list would really be accurate if you were to switch the places of the words “Jehovah” and “GB.” It should read as follows:

“The Trinity of Modern JWS:

GB, the Lofty Undisputed Father

Jehovah , the Sock-puppet Son [who does what he’s told by the Lofty Undisputed Father, the GB]

JW.ORG , the Holy Spirit”
