i'm not sure if the title is appropriate but i figured i'd point out some contradictions i see in jehovah's witnesses like my wife and i often ask myself why should i care when obviously she does not?
the motivation to 'fit in' with the people who you believe 'have the truth' is a strong one and facts are rendered powerless since in the end i get asked, "so what do you have that is better?
" but like morpheous on the movie, the matrix, all i have to offer is the truth.. .
I can go to ANY encyclopedia to disprove Christ's birth occurring on December 25, yet those same encyclopedias cannot be trusted to disprove that Jerusalem's destruction occurring in 607 B.C.E.. After all, the Watchtower readily changes their teachings when they discover 'new truths' so why after all these years would the society hold steady to 1914 C.E.?
Really like this one.
i was cleaning the house yesterday and my husband had an awake out.
i just flipped through it for a second and one article struck me.
it was the example of why god is allowing suffering and it being a court case.
Don't forget, the most important thing to Jehovah, above all else....more than animals, more than mankind, more than the angels, more than the universe, more than his only begotten son.....is his reputation.
if one was to take a poll of all the registered users of this board he might be surprised by the number of people who still attend meetings and/or still go door to door.
a contributor to a recent thread, expressing worry that she is on the threshold of being outed, posited that fear is what fills the seats in the kingdom hall.
fear, not love.

jehovah's witness elders lie and call police.
on october 31, 2010 jehovah's witnesses elders lie when asked by charles huff, also a jehovah's witness, if they shun ex-members of the jehovah's witnesses' religion.
The guy that made this video is obviously a "goat."
i was just scrolling through my husband's cell phone to see if he has any new and exciting apps and lo and behold.... he has a "daily text" app!!!
choose it, and up pops the text for the day, followed by the commentary.
good grief!
Does it call for a voluntary donation? Great cash flow for the Org.
things to say while being groped by tsa .
you know what daddy likes.
a little higher.
Some people shouldn't try to be funny...
get ready to barf.
email going round in never never land.. .
subject: jehovah's loving kindness - read it all the way to the end - its so encouraging!.
OUTLAW!! You've done it again!..
taking a quick peek back at some of his videos he put up on youtube, .
he really did a fantastic job in exposing how the watchtower organization operates, .
exposing its deceivingly decisive corruption.. which one in your opinion out of the many he put up was his pointedly best and why ?.
What happened to V, and is he still producing his vids?
i cannot speak for other countries, but it has become evident of late that more and more talks are being done by presiding overseers at kh's (especially in the west midlands) and they are making it quite clear that they are expecting 3 from every publisher (per day) who visit the dudley assembly hall, west midlands to contribute towards the upkeep of it.. the quote from the po's who have done this talk have said that "it is expected that each publisher will put 3 into the box on each day".. what do you think of that then?
as the world hits an economic breakdown the jw's seem to maximising their income from struggling families.. dudley assembly hall holds about 600-700 people.
i'm sure people are capable of doing the maths.. so much for voluntary contributions !!
Not good MKR.
