  Does the GB really care if the organization collapses?

  by Driving Force in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i am sure that the gb does not care about the r&f jw.

  it does not care about the organization collapsing overnight.. why do i say this?.

  in 2013 the organization declared that the "faithful and discreet slave" consisted only of the seven member of the gb.

  The very top echelon does not care. Why would they? Those few are set for what little life is left in them. However, there are many others underneath that better be interested in this real estate and publishing juggernaut. Their mere existence hangs in the balance of this Org making it, talking about all those 'GB helpers' and anyone else with the rank CO and above. Anyone whose sustenance depends on Mommy Org.

  The rest of us have lived in this system, fending for ourselves and if this religion fails, we can sure figure out how to make it financially.

  Anti-JW billboard going up in Texas

  by sunny23 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the first ever billboard has been crowd funded on reddit and will be going up.

  i'm curious to know if it will cause a spark in any jw's who already have questions or doubts and lead them to research into the child abuse cases and lead them to the thought that the wt and gb are not inspired or gods mouthpiece.

  at the very least it will provide people a topic of conversation and questions to the jw's who knock on their door: "so whats this whole sex abuse in kingdom halls thing about i saw on the billboard down the road?

  Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  it's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.

  in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.

  you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

  It is the history of it. It continues at a much smaller scale, but it continues today. It is much deeper than what the right wing media portrays. Please try to use empathy and understand.

  May’s ‘study WT’ admits having taught “far-fetched” ideas

  by wheelwithinwheel in

  2. bible

  not on the front page, not in the study articles, but carefully camouflaged in the questions from readers on page 18 (watchtower march 15, 2015).

  you can bet most jws wont even read it..

  there is no apology...just the usual excuses..

  Prepare to admit more and more "we were wrong" as time passes.

  Not too long ago they also published in a small article about how they were wrong about dates of the end and such. Does anybody remember? It was a small apologetic piece.

  'no one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.'.

  many have been hurt by the practice of shunning.

  family members, [former?

  If you dare show objectivism, check out "The Story of the Tulsa Riots" here:

  It will help you understand where the frustration comes from.

  2. experiences

  this week has been the week when my whole way of thinking shifted.

  i still cannot believe how this can happen so fast.

  over a period of seven days i went from not even imagining that i could ever not be a witness to wanting to get out of this organisation.. .

  Welcome to this community.

  Ever since learning TTATT, it is so very difficult being a JW and pretending all is fine. I must hang on because my immediate and extended family is large and heavily invested in this faith. It is super rough on the psyche, though.

  The poor and deprived life of JW children.

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i find it hard to believe that adults on this forum make such a big deal about not celebrating birthdays, x-mas, easter, halloween, etc, etc, etc.

  i grew up as a jw kid and it actually made me feel good, being different from the other kids in school.

  we went to meetings.

  Eqv,

  I totally get you. Having grown up in the Spanish congs, it was a blast. So we did not celebrate the popular holidays, but still all the different parties we did celebrate were and continue to be so much fun!

  Recently, I heard about one of the fellow Spanish congs got all the kids together and threw a Disney theme party, character dress ups and all! Great food, games, gifts, dancing. Definitely IMO JW kids are by no means less happy growing up than any other groups.

  The adults must make sure entertainment is not lacking in their little one's life.

  Do You Think Humanity Will Ever Be Completely Free From Religion?

  by InjusticeSystem in

  1. social
  2. current

  i realize that many here still have a form of spirituality or faith, and i mean no disrespect to those individuals.

  i suppose i am posting this question to those, like myself, who have come to the conclusion that religion in general is a major hindrance to the progress of our species and needs to be put aside so that we can advance to our full potential.

  so my question is, do you think this will ever actually happen, and how do you think we can get there?

  Never. In the absence of a deity, people worship objects, other people, themselves, money, you name it. We humans have that gene of having the need to adore something; God given to keep us dependant? Inexplicable.
