  Make the Truth Your Own

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is something that hit me just relatively recently.. the phrase "make the truth your own" is a very famous catch phrase in jw culture.

  it was a pet philosophy of daniel sydlik and has been used and is used in talks, literature and song.

  every witness knows this trope.

  How long is a generation?

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what splain does in his talk and chart illustration is make the leap that a generation can have two groups.

  and in this case the two groups span more than 108 years.

  but no where in scripture is there ever a notion that a generation has two groups.

  Is "fornication" still used by Witnesses?

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in 2013 the revised nwt came out and changed the old edition's "fornication" and its related words "fornicating," "fornicator" etc.

  in all their roughly 70 occurrences.

  has the word completely dropped from usage in the witness world?

  Jehovah's Witnesses Exposed in UK

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this is a peruvian newspaper where today it has published that 100 witnesses were victims of abuse in the organization in uk and were silenced by the leadership.

  may be those who know spanish here can translate it.

  i think it is very important that these kind of news are being propagated.

  If you're expecting a mass exodus anytime soon, FORGET ABOUT IT!

  i have to make a token appearance at the k.h.

  once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.

  and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.

  so, as some of you will know myself and my husband are in the process of fading.

  haven't been to a meeting since beginning of 2017. .

  we weren't planning on going to the memorial, but last week my mother broke down and said that we have to go to the memorial even if it's the only meeting i go to this year.

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the most recent circuit assembly there was a lot about porn and warning against porn.

  even warning against looking at swim wear adverts!

  so i was wondering, is porn really such an issue in the wt?.

  Why are there more sisters than brothers at the Kingdom Hauls?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have always wondered why there are more females than males in all of the congregations that i have visited?

  some of these females are in their 70's so maybe their husbands have died and women just live longer.

  or could the reason be that years ago men were the breadwinners and women stayed home to raise the children thus they were home during the week when the jdubs came a knocking?

  going back 50 years i was in 3 congregations. most of the women there without husbands were batshit crazy. their husbands--if still alive--were only too glad their wives went to the meetings...
