  Name Some Double Standards of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here's one: a jw cannot lie ' liars are subject to the "second death".

  but if you "lie" for the interests of the organization, suddenly it's not a "lie" after all!

  because the opposers are not "entitled" to know.

  I have never undterstood this. If you DA yourself, or get DF'd, you are shunned. But its ok to hang out with worldly people(on occasion), its ok to hang out with people who are inactive(who are living worldly lifestyles) and family members who left the org, that havent yet been df'd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  JWD Awards??

  by RichieRich in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, i was thinkin, and got hit with a good idea.

  everyone whos been here for more than a week has posters that they love, and posters that they loathe.

  some make laugh, some make us cry, and some drive us right up the wall.... so to honor that, i think we should have some sort of jwd award session... (should simon approve).

  But I do think that other people will feel slighted if they are not recognized.

  I know I will, so if you have the "dumb blonde" category, and I win, I will feel great!

  I think it would be fun!

  My brainwashed dad

  by lilbit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  even though my dad is a jw i always thought that he was a reasoning man.

  when i married my airforce husband he didnt really get upset, when i told him i needed to study the witnesses for myself to see if i truely believed the teachings he encouraged me to do so.

  ive been calling him now and then to discuss the things i have been researching ( alittle bit at a time though because i didnt want to freak him out) a couple of months ago i told him about the un thing, i offered to send him the link and he requested that i send him a hard copy of the ngo letter.

  Movies to make a JW THINK

  by M.J. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've heard various suggestions of movies to show a dub.. those of us with a spouse / family in the borg might find it pretty useful to rent such movies as just another way of chipping away at the indoctrination, or drawing attention to the wts control tactics.. one movie i saw which was somewhat helpful was one called "equilibrium", which was suggested on this board a while back.

  its about a society that has acheived peace and order by requiring everyone to repress their emotions through sedatory drugs.

  the good thing about this one was when it showed how everyone was so indoctrinated to follow the directives of the organization in charge, with every person keeping an eye on everyone else.

  Unfortunately he couldn't hold his beer and that explains the result.

  LOL, maybe his first mistake was creating aliens, thinking they were humans?

  Better to Burn Out or Rust?

  by Big Dog in

  1. social
  2. humour

  is it better to live life hard treating your body like an amusement park and doing things like partying hard, hang gliding, skydiving, extreme sports, etc.

  or to pace yourself eating all the right foods, avoiding dangerous pastimes, watching your cholesterol, etc.

  for a long and possibly duller life?
