in your personal experience, do you think that the wt attracts needy types of people?
over the years, my experience is that they do attract very needy, insecure, dysfunctional, types.
i had an acquaintance that i just basically cut off.
if you want to get "unbalanced" you should try the infamous "terremoto" (earthquake) drink, hehehe just read here, give it a try...

(you can use fermented white wine instead of pipeño wine, and also you MUST add some grenadine syrup as a topping, that part is missing in that website)

I think "the message" of the JW is entitled to make its effect on specially vulnerable people, the same people who would be looking for answers to questions like "is the world getting worse everyday?" "is there hope for the dead loved ones?" "is there a god?" "will wars end some day?" "why do people suffer?".... Well the "answers" comes with all the man-made JW set of rules and methods, and for some people that works for a while, and for some others joining were such a life investment and at a so high price that the only thing left to do is trying to convince themselves and others that it was "the best choice" and are living "the best and happiest life possible"...
we born ins have a different way to this, because we weren't "attracted", it was all set up
i have watched the trailer for this movie , and the bad guy in this makes the statement something like this, when asked who are you ?
his reply , i have been called many names over time , and yahweh was one of them .. will jw.org ban the jdubs from seeing it ?
being not suitable for a christian ?
as many of us that understand the parable to be just that, a parable, is there a way that a jw can actually question it, even if so is done under the idea that is actually a prophecy?.
we are all very familiar with deuteronomy 18:22 and the way to identify a true prophet.
is there a way you could possibly identify a bad prophet as soon as the prophecy is revealed?
on 01/09/2016 a jw driving an 18 wheeler trailer full of jw literature dies as a result of an accident.
the trailer departed from guatemala and heading to honduras to drop shipment.
a local elder is interviewed as he arrives on the scene.
Good translation tenacius! I was Waiting to et home to do the same! I think the elder didn't give a **** about the driver because he was coming from Guatemala, he probably didn't knew who he was (he was a witness for sure)...
and forget about compensations for the family of the man, that happened during "voluntary work" and probably "his fault" taking that curve so fast!

This is shocking! The men burned alive while was trapped, the people there tried to get him out but couldn't... I have me goosebumps when I saw the body of the poor man being pulled out! He was Guatemala, so they were having some troubles in identifying him.
ironically the accident took place in the so called "Devil's curve"...
the he man, the "elder" is a shame for all humanity, using the free tv time for just spread shit... "The people were waiting for the literature... Is a big loss.."... Unbelievable!!! THE MAN JUST BURNED ALIVE! (I'm a native Spanish speaker so no mistranslations, the man was alive and people couldn't do anything to save him cos he was trapped)
i've been doing a lot of deep de-cluttering and came across some watchtower books i had stashed away and forgotten about.
they belonged to my grandmother and came to me through my father's estate.
just wondering if they would be useful to anyone.. sanningen som leder till evigt liv - truth book '69.
Oh my gosh redpilltwice!!! I didn't remember that little book!!! I thought I was never so committed with that and always felt a bit guilty for that!
:)
Best wishes for applehippie in finding those books a home
well i was telling you days ago that i wrote my da letter... i decided to deliver it myself to the elders.
it'a been about a year i didn't show up nor talk to the majority of old friends.
one of my best friends (who's is 2-3 years older than me, i'm 25) is now an elder... some times i don't understand him, he's an engineer from a prestigious university (the most prestigious universities here in chile, are 2, the one from where he got his degree and the one i'm attending)... he even red crisis of conscience and has doubts... but still endured inside.. my congo were based in our historic city downtown, so our territory was small... i parked my car near the hall and walked near for a while while the meeting was over.
Thank you smiddy, my focus now is on my mother, in helping her to get used to her new life !
goingthruthemotions Its very sad what you are going thru, never lose faith, months ago I never thought my mother would change her mind so deeply, I made my mind that she would never leave the cult (she even pioneered), but now she's mentally and physically out! maybe your marriage will not survive the way it is, but always keep in mind that what you're doing is something right and honest to yourself!
