I would think that it would be a far greater danger for the user in accessing the JW dot com Website from their usual browser than through the app. Browsers store browsing histories, cookies, and favourites, whereas the app is a more direct and simple way which simply downloads the materials right from the database on the JW server. The app essentially involves one-way communication, from the JW server directly to the user’s device.

I read Lloyd Evans’ book The Reluctant Apostate, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although I had already read many books by XJWs, I appreciated his own unique story and perspective. He brought out some good points.
I know he has been very prolific and sometimes rather long-winded on his voluminous YouTube materials, but he has a good personable and fresh, matter-of-fact manner of speaking. I find his voice very reassuring and refreshing, especially compared to the usual monotonous drone of JW speakers still in the WT organization, and I can easily relate to him because he really speaks to the common XJW with a solidarity and passion which only we can know.
I would far rather listen to Lloyd Evans’ style than any of those stuffy old clowns on the JW dot org broadcasts any day! I will also definitely buy his newest book about how to leave the JWs as soon as it becomes available for the Amazon Kindle app.

“Vidiot”: “I strongly believe that if push really came down to shove (up to, including, and after loss of tax-exemption), they'd rather the Org crash and burn than budge.”
Well, that would be “persecution,”™ don’t you know, which would confirm that the JWs are really “God’s chosen people”™ and that we are living deep into the “time of the end.”™ If the WT organization were to “crash and burn,” then it would signal that “Armageddon”™ (Arm-a-giddy-bum) would start immediately, with all the ravens, crows, seagulls, etc. swarming us to administer a sweet eye peckening.
[Yes indeed, that was sarcasm.]

“Brokeback Watchtower”: “A full fledged JW would never question the GB for how they spend the money as that would be a sign of some sort of apostacy. I think this very public announcement should indicate an inspection of finances is dully warrented?”
Although all the income and expenses are scrutinized in minute detail at the congregational level and at least itemized at the circuit level (special assembly days), there is absolutely no public divulgence or accountability of any of the funds at the district (regional conventions) or national level (branches).
According to the tax returns of the Watch Tower corporation, they take in about a billion dollars annually, but of course no one of us who aren’t privy to the upper echelons of the organization will ever get an inkling of exactly where those funds are being appropriated to.

What is this "religion"?
by Kom 197 infor a long time, i was convinced jehovah witnesses were just people preaching the word of god in a different way than other christians.
i was shown the real truth over the past few months.
i've been friends with this guy for over 5 years.

I do earnestly hope that he can eventually be made to see the JW organization for what it really is – a deceptive, manipulative, high-control cult – and that you and he can renew your relationship. That would certainly be the best outcome for you both. (Don’t forget http://www.jwfacts.com/!)
But if he can’t somehow ever be made to wake up and come around back to sanity but you still want to try having a significant relationship with him, then, well, all I can say is, Fasten your seatbelts. It’s quite a rough ride indeed when the one you love gets commandeered (high-jacked!) by the likes of the Watch Tower!

What are the big black tanks that were installed and buried at Beth Sarim?
by Wild_Thing ini have been watching this video.
at about the 4:40 mark, the footage shows a big black tank with two windows (they look like windows).
at the 4:46 mark, you can 2 of the tanks already in the ground and they being installing a third one.

“hoser”: “It is obvious that they are sewage tanks.”
That’s what I thought at first. Poo, poo – lots of poo. 💩
“St George of England”: “Also a diesel tank, they had generators there.”
That’s what I think I’ve heard somewhere.
“nowwhat?”: “Obviously the tanks were to hold all his booze!”
Now, that is the obviously likely scenario. Apparently (“evidently”™) prohibition never slowed that big boy down!

The JWs, by their heavy indoctrination, become robots programmed to proselytize aggressively so as to get in as many “brownie points” as they can and wherever it would get them the most exposure – whether appropriate or not.
The JW robots are like those small drones all lit up and operating wirelessly together in an array in the dark evening sky to collectively form preprogrammed three-dimensional designs, each drone being automatically controlled by a computer on the ground. (Such as was featured in the opening ceremonies in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.) Those tightly controlled drones remind me of the many pawns of the Watch Tower programmed to constantly seek out opportunities to proliferate the aims of their “mother organization,” no matter what.

As “John Cedars” once said regarding beards: It’s a “control mechanism.” And he is spot on. After all, that’s how cults operate: control!
