  A Cult Tactic: Removing Guilt By Dehumanising Others

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the real world, very few parents would disown their own children simply because they read a magazine that told them to do it.

  very few people would forever completely ignore their own parents because an elder got up on a platform one day and announced that they no longer follow the same religion as you.. in the real world it just doesn't happen.

  and yet, for 8 million jehovah's witnesses it's very a normal part of their world to treat "other people" differently than they'd treat each other.

  Seriously? We're going to try to equate "mommy didn't invite me to the family BBQ" to what the Nazis and Japanese did in WWII???

  I think this is a stretch beyond belief. The WTS try to paint us as "the enemy" because to them, we are. It doesn't really come anywhere close to the barbarism that has happened in history.

  the watchtower society expects its' adherents to believe their god will destroy all humanity in the very near future ( except for his witnesses -of course )

  i dont think the nazis were quite that ambitious.

  Myriads and Myriads of Angels ... What Do They Do?

  by RubaDub in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i never understood this in my entire life in the borg.. who knows how many angels there are, millions, billions?.

  an angel protected rahab when the walls of jericho fell.

  then one angel killed 24,000 one night.. yet there seems to be this paranoia in the borg like the bunker video and the field video where jw's are under attack and apparently alone or at least it appears alone.. can't a few angels be put on overtime and protect the brothers from the potential "authorities" that wish to harm or eliminate them?.

  Serious Issue ....... that MUST be Addressed !!!!!

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  this is such an important issue, more and more people are succumbing to what must be some viral outbreak wreaking havoc in the world.. i'm talking about unnecessary punctuation.. it's easy to become infected.

  you want to write something and add some emphasis so you add an exclamation mark to make it "important!

  " but dang, it's not important enough is it??

  using the word lead instead of led. Lead is a metal.

  
  

  to lead--( someone or something ) is a verb. led is the past tense of to lead.

  How do you feel about your JW childhood?

  by Emily1987 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was 5 years old when my mother was baptised.

  we went from celebrating xmas to no presents or decorations.

  we would still go to my unbelieving aunty's house on xmas day, all of my cousins would be playing with their new toys and would wonder why i didn't have any.

  Elder Is Dodgy Used Car Salesman

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just thought i'd relate this story for any lurkers out there.. here in the north west of england there's an elder called george ashton.

  the ashton's are a big family, most of the men are appointed as elders or at least min servants.

  george owns a used car dealership and almost all jws in liverpool looking for a car have heard of him.

  and his excuse would be--" i'm just an imperfect man " ...which was just what i got when i challenged a manager of a double glazing company--who i knew to be an elder---of lying, dishonest practices, and swearing.

  My Dad's Funeral

  by Disassociated Lady 2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i had not seen my dad for 15 years because i had left the borg.

  (i had been out 26 years but there was a few years when the jws permitted contact with outsiders and then changed their minds again).

  they made contact with me again just before he was diagnosed with cancer.

  i organised my fathers funeral. i made sure it was not a watchtower event. i didnt tell any of them. just a private committal--me, 2 ex jw friends and a few care home staff who had looked after him in his last years.
