  It's abysmal. Especially the pic shown in the link:
  
  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/ws20150515/disfellowshipping-a-loving-provision/
  
  Note how the WT attempts to misquote the parable of the prodigal son. The WT states:
  
  >>>Jesus used an illustration of a young man who left his father’s home and spent all his inheritance living an immoral life. The young man eventually realized that life away from his father’s home had no meaning. So he repented and decided to go back to his family. The father was very happy when he saw that his son had changed his attitude, and he welcomed him home. (Luke 15:11-24)<<<
  
  Of course this is nonsense. A careful reading of the Scripture shows that the father ran to meet his son when he saw him in the distance, long before the son had had a chance to speak with his father. Nowhere does the Scripture say that the father only welcomed his son AFTER he saw that he had changed his attitude! Even the witness Bible affirms this: "While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him and was moved with pity, and he ran and embraced him and tenderly kissed him".
  
  Once again the WT attempts to re-write history and con it's adherents in the process.

  Please tell me that this pic didn't actually appear in the WT. It's appalling.

  How Cults Play the Urgency Card

  http://shunnedforlife.com/how-cults-play-the-urgency-card/.

  05/01/15 / shunned for life / end of the world, persuasion tactics .

  a slick salesman will employ a call to action (buy now) and will often assign a sense of urgency to this: act now, offer will expire in the next couple of minutes, hours or... the person is urged to make a decision, to commit to something they normally would have passed on or taken time to think about.. an example of this can be seen in online sales pages.

  This is fabulous stuff. My own parents joined the JW's to save my skin. After they'd been studying for a while and encountering hostilty from our relatives, they sat down and decided to take a chance and NOT join the JW's. Then my father paused and said to my mother: "I'm willing to take a chance with my life, but can we take a chance with Snuggie's life?" So they jumped on the fear wagon after all.
  

  The irony is that Snuggie loathed it and left the JW's not long after leaving home.

  Ive been getting this wrong for years. I thought it was about lying down one's wife for his friends.

  Oh well...

  Anti-JW billboard going up in Texas

  by sunny23 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the first ever billboard has been crowd funded on reddit and will be going up.

  i'm curious to know if it will cause a spark in any jw's who already have questions or doubts and lead them to research into the child abuse cases and lead them to the thought that the wt and gb are not inspired or gods mouthpiece.

  at the very least it will provide people a topic of conversation and questions to the jw's who knock on their door: "so whats this whole sex abuse in kingdom halls thing about i saw on the billboard down the road?

  but everyone gets a warm fuzzy feeling and are sure to pass by the contribution box on the way out.

  That warm fuzzy feeling is just the sensation of common sense leaving one's body. Rather like falling in love!

  "in el salvador, one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw jehovahs witnesses nearby.

  "In El Salvador, one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw Jehovah’s Witnesses nearby. The man would wait for the Witnesses to move on, and then he would bring the dog back into the house. The brothers were never able to speak to the man. So one day they decided to try a different approach. Knowing that the man could hear what they were saying, they decided to preach to the dog. They came to the house, greeted the dog, and said how glad they were for the opportunity to speak to it. They talked about the time when there would be a paradise on earth, when no one would be angry—yes, when even the animals would be peaceable. Then they said a polite good-bye to the dog and started down the path. Much to their surprise, the man came out of his house and apologized for never having given the Witnesses the opportunity to speak to him. He accepted the magazines, and a Bible study was started. This man is now our brother—one of the “desirable things”!"

  WT 1-15-2000.

  I guess that brings a whole new meaning to the term "doggeral"..

  why did man go from living 900 years to 90?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.

  so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.

  how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.

  Psalm 90.10, KJV: The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
