jws go on about how wonderful the website is...blah blah..... check out the mormons version!.
now this is only one of their many official sites.. http://www.mormonchannel.org/.
http://www.mormonchannel.org/watch/series/bible-videos/laborers-in-the-vineyard-1 .
The mormons site even includes a chat option, to speak with one of their missionaries. I once used this to ask the mormon missionary about their view of the witnesses......they replied with confusion and disconnected.
I once saw a Scientology reqruitement banner on Youtube.....I wander to the site, and they too have a well designed website which manages to hide the deeper, more disturbing things of their faith.
Good thread Stuck!
on monday evening, feb. 16th, on the pbs newshour, there will be a segment discussing jehovah's witnesses.
generally, the newshour airs at 6 p.m. in different time zones across the united states..
please don't miss it.
apologies if this has already been discussed on this forum:.
mormon who runs website for doubting church members ousted.
salt lake city (ap) a mormon man who gained notoriety over the past decade for running a website that offers doubting latter-day saints a forum to chat has been kicked out of the religion..
"the purpose of this magazine, the watchtower, is to honor jehovah god, the supreme ruler of the universe.
just as watchtowers in ancient times enabled a person to observe developments from afar, so this magazine shows us the significance of world events in the light of bible prophecies.
it comforts people with the good news that gods kingdom, which is a real government in heaven, will soon bring an end to all wickedness and transform the earth into a paradise.
which of these activities did you hate/bothered you the most?
rank them from 1-5 with the most hated to the least.. .
field service.
When I was a believer, I didn't have a problem with any of these things, except watching a young person get DF'ed! Now that I've learned TTATT.....here is my rankings:
5.Giving Ministry School Talk
4. Field Service (No one answers anyhow.....plus fudging numbers isn't so difficult)
3. 2-4 day assemblies (That moment you realize you have nothing in common with a group of cultic people you will be wasting your weekend with....)
2. Watching 12 year-olds (I recently witnessed a 9 yr-old) getting baptized (because, these youths aren't qualified to drive a car.....much less are they prepared to make a sound, un-pressured decision of this magnitude....to become slaves of men, not to mention subject themselves to the emotional torment of a Judicial Committee)
1. Watching young children getting disfellowshipped
GO TO COLLEGE!!! This cannot be taken away by a simple announcement from the platform!

first post on here.
i've been lurking for 3-4 years and i mean i've been a mega lurker, doing marathon reading sessions for months or weeks.. sometimes i proceed by researching specific topics, or posters; other times just reading current discussions.
i'm particularly fond of "old" post, i.e 10-12-15 years ago.. i have laughed, smiled, got mad, cried etc, just reading some threads here.. as you can see i suffer from some kind of "accute lurkitis".
Welcome to the forum! I really like your detailed introduction, but I must warn you to be very careful about personal details here. Im happy you have found inner peace, and have gotten away from the guilt......welcome to mental freedom!

i was just watching cedars prank call to tomo3.
by the way lloyd very well done and totally funny.
but on a more serious note (and i think what must be of concern to the gb) are the amount of leaks that must be occurring at a senior level or at least by a person who has access to sensitive information.
been away from the site for a few days...because i have been busy getting these!!!!!!
(pixel, thank you!
) they did not make it easy, plus technical difficulties.. for the main attraction:.
reading another thread made me realise that there are numerous expressions used as everyday witness terminology, that is not in the bible.... such as:.
governing body.
paradise earth.
"The truth" is actually in scripture, it is used by the Apostle Paul at Collossians 2:7...unfortunately cults like to apply this phrase to themselves, and use it to unduly influence their victims!
