  i'm just watching this video.

  now bare in mind this guy has never been a jehovah's witness so he has no investment in this cult.. https://youtu.be/_ry-onhbkya.

  At the 14:38 mark: "They forbid you to drink and they forbid you to smoke". That's where his credibility went out the window. Mind you, the Watchtower's investment in Boeing is definitely noteworthy but that alcohol statement and the triviality of some others undermines the rest of what he has to say.

  Shock belt to control defendant?

  by little_Socrates in

  2. current

  skeen also ordered a shock device be placed on calvert for security reasons because of his unpredictable behavior, legal officials said.

  on sept. 15, when calvert did not stand up at the judge's request, skeen had an electric shock administered on the defendant that caused him to twist in pain before the jury, local tv broadcaster kltv reported.. .

  Why would the judge have control over the shock belt? I would imagine that it was the bailiff who would be in charge of security.

  Does Anyone Still Believe in God?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

  even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

  the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

  Large Increase in Trolley Witnessing

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when the org implements its bethelite "genocide" and demotes many members of the "worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovahs witnesses" into lowly regular pioneers, many more trollies will have to be found in order for such ones to rack up their required monthly hours.. how many are actually going to be shocked by this into waking up?

  Why zombies?

  by FadeToBlack in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just saw ww-v with brad pitt the other night (i know i am behind the times, still trying to catch up on movies i missed the last 30 years) and it struck me- why are we always fighting zombies?

  is it just easier to justify the carnage?

  it seems to me, that the most horrific carnage seems to be neighbor-vs-neighbor.

  Doomsday movies in general - not just zombie ones - have captivated the hearts of many. Many secretly wish for an under populated world. Combine that with an action plot and you've got the perfect combo.

  Any thoughts on the real reasons for droppng the 'school"

  by sparrowdown in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my thoughts are.

  1. they want to avoid being made to comply with any laws that come with anything classed as a "school" especially a school with children enrolled.. 2. the mid-week meeting has been dying in the ass for years and needs a revival.

  i predict happy -clappy-sing-a-longs to be included in the program.. anyone else have any thoughts ??

  They made a mistake when they lumped the book study to the service meeting. It must have been a burden to prepare for three segments in one meeting. I think they're just streamlining the meeting as well as making it shorter.

  To all of those who give credit to apostate ideas on anti-JW sites for changing Watchtower doctrines please keep in mind that our ideas are not as original as our egos (including mine) might think. There are probably thousands of ex and still-in JWs who, without any collusion, come out with the same ideas.

  I myself came up with the idea that the Watchtower magazine should be trimmed down to a monthly issue - 35 years ago.

  Fading Truth: "Also, pm'd you a website that has a lot of older publications in PDF form."

  Can you give us a link to that website?
