  I don't believe it. People on zoom that don't have the wine and bread just look at it?

  Last time I went to the memorial it was by accident . I was in the middle of a long car trip and went to a JW family to visit overnight. It was a JW memorial night and I was caught off guard. So they gave me a white shirt and tie to put on . It was very creepy I told them I had to go use the restroom and went to my car and listened to some tunes. When the meeting was over I hung out with my friends and noticed their circuit servant was there and people were all around him like a celebrity . I just gave him a dirty look and waited in the parking lot. That was like 20 years ago. It's all bull shit to me now!

  1/2 of the Jehovah’s witnesses have gone

  by hoser in

  2. friends

  there are 1/2 of the jehovah’s witnesses that there were 30 years ago in my area.

  some have left but i think that many have died and none of their kids stayed being jehovah’s witnesses.

  7 congregations have been dissolved over the years.

  Do children still get destroyed at Armageddon?

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i know back in the day, that was taught, that if the parents were going to be destroyed, so would the children.

  i just can't easily find reference to anything.

  this thinking has been used to justify some egregious behavior towards children and their parents such as exclusion of children from jw family - why worry, the end is near, all will work itself out then - the end didn't come though.

  Discouraging JWs From Calling

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was reading an anti cult reddit post where a woman (ex mormon) was trying her hardest to discourage the mormons from visiting her and trying to convert her back.

  a few others chimed in about their various methods (coming to the door naked, pretending to be practicing black magic, etc.

  ) which they claimed would have the mormons and jws running away as fast as possible.. somehow, i doubt it.

  What is Your Favorite WT Lie?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.

  surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.

  my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.

  What made you look behind the jw curtain?

  by Touchofgrey in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was listening to a lunchtime call in radio show about jws and the personal experiences of being disfellowshiped, and a former elder called in saying he was disfellowshiped for asking about jws and their involvement in the un in the 1990s ,and he just said look it up.. thinking that it was a made up lie ,so i looked it up and it was true even a letter confirming it from the un itself and that led me here and to jwfacts and further research into the history and teachings of jw and walked out the door about 5 years ago.

  I was 2nd gen JW. Myself and my daughter were treated poorly. My light bulb moment was the UN membership that Watchtower had. I also know of the guy that signed them up personally.

  How the JWs Handle a Member Visiting Another Church: What Is Your Experience?

  by LauraLynn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i grew up a jw but my parents were not regularly attending services at a kh.

  they used to, and were thoroughly indoctrinated though.

  as is the jws habit of visiting non-attenders, 2 sisters came to my mom and dad's door one day to inquire of our well-being.

  We went to a Pentecostal church. For the first time,it

  was very different for me. Toward the end I went out to the car and listened to music. It was very different for me but am happy my wife got to see old friends
