  JW's And Yoga

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this was partly discussed in this thread: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4853755331739648/these-common-jw-beliefs?page=2#!#5701815683252224 but i wanted to delve into the topic of yoga even further.. it seems watchtower have no clue what yoga actually is, or what it can achieve.

  i myself dont practice yoga, but i do meditate and see the benefits of that.. here is an artical from watchtower 2002 with my commentary:.

  "As far as books for children, they have pretty much given up recruiting adults so they need to stay current with new exciting stuff....or at least new."

  Yes...the adults are not falling for it anymore so they have to go after the born ins. It's the only hope WT has (until those little ones figure out it's BS...most likely when they turn teen). People are leaving and dying, it's there only option. Door to door and cart witnessing are not working. Too many people are Googling Jay dub ya dot org and finding out the truth. IT'S A CULT!!!

  Why Don’t Jehovah’s Witnesses Respond to All Accusations Made Against Them? FROM WEBSITE

  WT picks and chooses what it addresses. If they don't want to address it, they will sweep it under the rug and call it apostate lies. The interesting thing is, most of the followers believe WT. It is easier for the rank and file. Someone to tell you how to act and think.

  Want to read a surprising comment/complaint posted on my website about JW's encouraged not to have kids. Who would have thought!

  here's the short article found in the "did you know?

  "The Watchtower cannot stand it when they see people enjoying a normal life like getting married, having children, traveling, hobbies and the most evil.....having a college education."

  You got it! When WT see's anything or anyone receiving the attention they feel they should be getting, they tighten the screws. Well...I don't think everyone is listening anymore. This is why the Loyalty assembly and the Don't give up assembly have been designed. WT is loosing it's grip! It's a good thing. It's always fun to watch the enemy sweat.

  So much WT has told us to do....no kids, no education, what kind of house to live in, where to work, who to marry, the list goes on and on.

  Glad we didn't listen to WT, we would have NOTHING!

  Outraged After Watching The May 2017 Broadcast

  by pale.emperor in

  ok, so i've just put myself through another months broadcast so i can see what bull they're feeding my still in relatives.

  all was going fine... well, i say fine, i mean the usual cheesy videos, rehearsed reactions from jeffrey jackson (you remember him, the one who told half truths and lies at the royal commission) and propaganda from jw land.. the last feature brings up 9/11 and the paris 2015 attack at the bataclan.

  just as im thinking "how are they gonna spin this in their direction" i hear these words:.

  WT only helps those if they can get a photo op and your insurance money. When we were going through a tough financial time a few years ago. Did anyone in the KH even ask if we were ok? Just our service group overseer who was assigned to us. The rest of the body of Elders? Not one single word, no encouragement what so ever. We were not looking for money or anything, just a lousy word of encouragement. This is what initially caused us to hit the exit. Then we learned TTATT. Once you learn that, there is no way you can return.

  Received my first letter since leaving

  by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu in

  2. experiences

  today, i received a paper letter in my mail.

  since i left at the second half of 2016, i never received something like this.

  it is a one and a half page hand written letter that is written by an elder pioneer (i guess he needed some easy way to get his time in).. it is not written in english, so i will translate it:.

  I think someone is short on his hours this month.

  I agree...nothing about you. No "how are you or been thinking about you." He just jumps right into the scriptures and even sends you WT literature. No personal care.

  I have a great idea to get any JW off your radar. Tell em you short on cash or you need someone to help you move. I can guarantee you'll never hear from him again. Lol

  Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.

  once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

  Would This Be Adultery?

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just happened to read a news article from some months ago about doctors having performed a successful penis transplant.

  the recipient lost his due to cancer, and doctors expect him to gain full use of his "new" penis, including sexual activities.

  considering some of the more goofy interpretations of doctrine that the gooberning body trots out that the rank and file must obey under penalty of shunning i wonder if a man had this surgery, would he and or his wife be df'd for adultery?

  Sparrowdown. - good point! Is the man guilty of lewd sexual acts touching another mans penis? If he shakes it twice after using the restroom is it considered mutual masterbation?
