If shunning were no longer a JW policy, how many would leave the Org?

by HiddenPimo in

additionally - if this shunning rule was removed and everyone was made aware of the dirty secrets of the org.. (e.g.

csa-arc / un membership / malawi - mexico contrast / etc.).

would those leaving be higher?.

I think the percentage would be low, maybe 10 percent if even that. A lot of people really don't care about those issues since it doesn't effect them personally. Many have too much invested in that organization and dont want to deal with the changes that leaving the organization involves. Many feel validated and have a since of belonging in that organization and they also have a social support group within it.

Unless they are severely and negatively impacted by something in the organization they aren't going anywhere.

Is it OK to teach your children that Homosexuality is wrong?

by Thomasdam in

i know a few family's who have left the cult but send their kids to a religious school because of the public schools teaching many times that homosexuality is ok. the bible is clear that its a sin.

there is no just love each other and its all ok. i don't believe in the bible or any religion.

i have a niece who came out as gay and i told her i don't care.

littlerockguy

Teaching your kids that homosexuality is wrong may or will give them justification to judge, ostracize and make fun of gays and make kids who are gay believe that they are seriously flawed and it is their fault they are gay and that God, if god exists, hates them.

OK, We Need To Talk About The Crazy New Great Tribulation Video...

by pale.emperor in

if you haven't seen it already, skip to 1:14:30 in lloyds video and watch the craziness unfold.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2y7f7-k5wo.

i'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.. they're digging themselves a great hole here, in about 30 years time they'll be claiming this video was a mere "speculation" and that "some people" got the wrong ideas..

littlerockguy

Don't they still claim the trumpet blasts in Revelation refer to judgements proclaimed in convention talks in the 1920s in Cedar Point, Ohio?

Remember 1992?

by Tobyjones262 in

anyone remember 1992?

i can remember i was in the cult.

times were changing at a rapid pace.

littlerockguy

Back when I first started studying with a relative in 1985 the end was imminent because of the UN declaring 1986 as the "year of peace" and they updated the peace and security book and we went through that at the book study and Watchtower magazine had covers that featured the doomsday clock with armageddon about 3 minutes away and study articles about preparing now to withstand persecution, etc.

by Fognomore in

i just had a conversation with my dad where i said " fine , i will grant you that you your desire to have every person on the earth become a jw as that is the borgs goal by teaching correct.?

i followed up with " if that would of happened in 1914 or earlier, what would become of our world?
