  The Org is terrified of apostates

  by SecretSlaveClass in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i knew apostasy was a serious concern for the org, but until i watched this video, i had no idea how afraid they actually were.

  all this guy wants is to do is not turn in his fs hours and immediately they (elders) set about drilling him about who are what influenced his decision, as if he was incapable of making his own (which as the elders confirm, in the org is highly discouraged).

  they are convinced he has been communicating with apostates or visiting apostate web sites.

  SimonSays:

  "...since the Pontiff Francis is making the pitch, I guess you would need to email him to let him know that we live in the 21 century."

  I know that you know the significance of what I said. Your quote from Pope Francis has an uncanny resemblance to what I heard in the 1970s.

  SimonSays, I remember an almost identical quote on Catholics converting to JWs as far back as 40 years ago. It's an old quote that's been refurbished. In any case 10,000 is a trivial number if you bother to think about it. (Hint: It's .001% of all Catholics)

  Meanwhile the winner in overall increase (according to your poll) is:

  SimonSays, according to your chart atheists nearly doubled in number. They don't even need trolley carts for such a phenomenal blessing from Jehovah.

  SimonSays, you are cutting and repasting the same thing. Don't you have something else to say other than that tired (decades) old quote?

  As for people converting from one religion to the next there are, as OUTLAW showed, a large proportion of JWs who leave the Watchtower. Some of them become very religious. Perry who posts here is an example of JW converted to fundamentalist Christianity.

  The mere fact that you come to this forum to engage in your troll attacks is because the Witnesses are hemorrhaging members by the tens of thousands in the US.

  GodZoo:

  "Maybe the Russian Government see Jehovah's Witness extremism coming from them teaching people that every worldly government will soon be completely destroyed and for people to put no faith in them what so ever. The sect’s leaders have continually denounced all other religions and all secular governments as tools of the devil, demanded they refrain from all pledges of allegiance to earthly governments and have historically displayed of contempt for “Satan’s world,” which included all other religions and all secular governments."

  Christianity did all of those things in the first century.

  "Perhaps they don't think it healthy or beneficial to have such a group of people expounding their rather extreme anti-government ideas so freely among their people."

  That's the same thing that an otherwise religiously tolerant Roman empire did with Christianity when they discovered that they were "haters of humanity".

  Are There Good People Out There?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  even though i'm no longer mentally a jw (i still technically am) i do recognize that there are some benefits to being raised one.

  for example, the first (and only so far) wordly guy i was involved with had to smoke weed every day and got drunk all the time and that was his idea of fun.

  i couldn't help but feel bad for him.

  LaurenM:

  "So, my thoughts are: are most wordly people like this guy?"

  Are most of us apostates like that guy?

  "Is it possible to find JW-like people in this world (minus the crazy, death to all sinners, god is judging you mentality)?"

  Have you found them here?

  SimonSays:

  "The Catholic Church raised a " cry of alarm “, the newspaper La Republica, because every year ten thousand Catholics become Jehovah's Witnesses."

  The Catholic Church loses much more than that to Charismatic churches who are larger than the Witnesses. Also, your citation of the newspaper La Republica has to do with issues in Latin American countries were Catholicism prevails but has stiff competition from the Charismatics.

  "The Jesuit Giuseppe De Rosa said that " the religious point of view the most dangerous are Jehovah's Witnesses. They come fully trained and always have the Bible in hand. ""

  The former glory of the well trained JW has faded into history. They don't understand their doctrines any more and can't defend them even when they do understand them.

  Your information from that Jesuit priest is probably 50 years outdated and, of course, taken from a self-glorifying Watchtower publication.

  "But I will say, Apostates and the Catholic Church do have a fear of knowing it doesn’t matter how hard you try, God in heaven will always prevail."

  You don't have the slightest understanding of either the Catholic Church nor of "Apostates". And thank you for the upper case "A".

  GodZoo: "What if it's declared extremist?"

  Such declarations will be subjectively interpreted to mean anything.

  Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, White Countries for Everyone!

  asia for the asians, africa for the africans, white countries for everybody!.

  everybody says there is this race problem.

  everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries.. the netherlands and belgium are just as crowded as japan or taiwan, but nobody says japan or taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.. everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to assimilate, i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.. what if i said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into every black country and only into black countries?.
