as a published author on amazon, i'm used to getting negative reviews from time to time.
it goes with the territory and i'm ok with it.
writing is an art form, so no art is liked by everyone.
Haven't you guys met these types before?
They study and study but can't live by the rules. They get guilty and "defend" the witnesses when ever they can and say how wonderful it all is but never can apply it to themselves.
I reckon I met dozens in my time as a witness.
first of all; i must admit that i'm not a huge fan of putting people in boxes like this, it is not an exact science.
but i still think the data can be quite interesting and i intend to collect it and share it in a structured way with you guys.
so without future ado here are the details.. link to test: .
the vedas are the core sacred texts for the people of the east.
generally the vedas are to the east as the hebrew scriptures are to the west.
supporters of the bible, boast of it's scientific accuracy,prophetic accuracy & general infallibility.

The internet is the destruction of cults. All you do is search their key words.

i've finally got round to joining the site (after over 2 years lurking!
i was born into jws, pioneered for 10 years (met my husband at pioneer school).
had health issues that saw me catapulted away from 'the centre of the cong' and wow what a different place that was!
You write well and certainly brought back memories for me.
It's a sad little world the jws inhabit and I felt truly "born again" when I finally left it's orbit.

some circuit overseer gave a talk and made this statement - "jehovah will very soon resurrect millions of people.....".
"soon" is so old hat now - "very soon" will become the new buzz words in j.w.-land..
hi guys.
i actually have had dealings with rod and found him to be a very reasonable and "non-robotic" man in the past.. i know it should not surprise me, but i was disappointed to hear his lies and half-truths.. they know their stuff and are not easily led, but he tried to lead the royal commission to believe that 2 people could be involved in investigating a claim - which is wrong.. his lack of memory on what parts of the judicial process are biblical - hello - none are.
there are no scriptures that backup the use of 3 men, a body of elders, cutting people off from family and friends, restrictions, etc.. he also lied about the gb being involved in policy creation and changes.. his statement that in all cases, elders are told to inform parents that they can go to the authorities and get the full support of the congregation is not verifiable.
Hey Smiddy excellent point. Here is an article from 2012 which covers this exact case. The woman loses a defamation case against the elders on a technicality but the basis of the article is this woman talking to another sister about her ex's wrongdoing even showing a photo of him with another woman on holiday.
The elders disfellowship HER (!) for slander!!
Kinda blows that elder's lies into the weeds http://www.irishtimes.com/news/claim-by-jehovah-s-witness-dismissed-1.475835
