  '..simply for a contribution to cover the printing cost of the magazines...

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  do you remember when we used to ask for a 'contribution that covers the printing cost' for the mags?.

  was that ever the real cost of printing the mags?

  afterall, we had to pay for the wretched things when we collected them, so was the wt society already making a profit from us foolish sheep which we then tried to recoup from the unsuspecting public.. were we conned?

  KOOL-AID.. Need info please

  by AlphaOmega in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  okay, here goes.... i've seen many many many references to kool-aid here, such as "don't drink the kool-aid" etc etc but i can't work out what it's all about.. but, my imagination tells me that maybe someone went to a memorial meal, "partook of the emblems" and discovered that it wasn't wine, but kool-aid.. am i right or is there something else going on?.

  Jehovah's Witnesses drink figurative Kool Aid every day. On average, three are ordered to commit suicide by refusing blood transfusion every day

  was this just a random comment for sensationalist purposes?Or is there proof that this is true.

  The Whole JW Judicial System Is Flawed!

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i'll tell you why i think so.. your opinions on this subject are welcomed.. nothing in the bible shows a set-up like the one the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses uses.

  where in the bible is a "judicial committee" ever mentioned??

  or "chairman of the committee"?

  Another thing, why can't the congregation applaud a sinner coming back? The angels do.

  I disagree with that.How about in a case of adultery?Perhaps the wronged and devastated mate doesnt want to listen to someone being clapped and applauded who had recently ruined their life? In 90% of cases involving disfellowshipping its all wrong imo.What Adults get up to is no concern of Elders.But sometimes they get it correct when another innocent person has been Hurt and seriously wronged. Yes,in SOME instances they have got it quite correct regarding ousting Sinners.

  ATTENTION BETHEL MONITORS - This is your chance!

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to the monitor(s) that bethel assigns to watch websites such as this one:.

  we all know that bethel is especially going to be monitoring "apostate" websites, such as this one, in the light of their apparently massive settlements to ensure that their gag orders for the lawsuits are kept (if someone was going to break it, this is likely the first place they'd turn!).

  later on today there will be press conferences disclosing that "some" settlements have been reached, for "some" amount of money.

  Ive yet to see or hear 100%certain evidence that Bethel is remotely interested in sites such as this.

  Someone prove me wrong ?

  <!-- .style1 { font-family: arial; font-size: 18px; color: #000099; } .style3 { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } .style5 {font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; color: #000099; } --> what was it like to grow up a jehovahs witness?it is fair to say, that as a convert from roman catholicism my understanding .

  of what it was like to be raised a jehovahs witness is limited because of not.

  having had any family in the organization.

  Why are JWs so disrespectful towards war veterans, etc?

  by winnie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i never could understand this.

  do they have no respect???.

  this subject came up when my hubby was talking to his brother on the phone a couple months ago.

  When I or my hubby sees a solder, we try to walk up to him and shake his hand and simply say, "Thanks, son." Right or wrong....whatever one's opinion is on the politics of war....that soldier is doing his duty and it's because of men like him we enjoy freedom to express our opionions and worship the way we choose to worship.

  Journey on,that comment makes no sense to me?By your reasoning you would go up to a Wermacht Soldier during WW2 and shake his hand?Hes just doing his duty after all.Or maybe its just your Countrys Soldiers "right or wrong".

  Back to the original Comment,yep they (JW,S)are incredibly sneery over many things..especially Patriotism and war veterans.My stupid Father when a service overseer insisted we as a group continue ministry on eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month when most other People respected a Minutes silence to remember the dead.
