Therein lies the problem re/JWs -- they walk around with horse blinders on and air force earplugs with respect to the fear of reality about cult WT and their fantasies. I think it will take a lot of moxie for the devout JW to view the real truth.

69Don't count on witnessing Watchtower's demise anytime soon.
by Roger Kirkpatrick inthe fact that there are pomi ex-jws who have been disfellowshiped or inactive for years who still live in constant fear of armageddon indicates that watchtower will manage to exist in one way or another for years, if not decades, to come.
watchtower, like all other religious cults, operate on the premise that "you can fool some of the people all of the time...and that's enough!

Evolution or Creation Poll
by Vanderhoven7 inevolution is how we got here.. demonstrate that you believe that all species evolved from a single cell over/within 3.5 billion years by tapping "like" below.. demonstrate that you believe in special creation by tapping "unlike" below..

Pew analysis makes sense because America is still into god/religion although atheism is on the rise.

Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member
by The Bethelite ini was in full time service for six years including bethel.
once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.
i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.

I'm shocked they didn't bully you to pay and allowed you the literature. WOW!

Very sad -- we can't trust the scientists who need the funding and the leftists who need to pad their pockets (get rich fast political scheme) and throw the country into socialism. Democracies generally don't last over 200 yrs. Everyone will be all happy in the land of socialism receiving $1,000/mo and a gov't apartment - health insurance will be limited unless one is in the top tier. Don't get sick or old -- odds aren't good for you.
A survey was taken of the younger genre and college students -- the majority were clueless what socialism means other than free junk and some won't have more than others. People can't stand others having more - it's an envy thang!

Tameria and blondie -- naughty girls but well played. A JW at hall I attended was so embarrassed and upset because an elder pulled her to the side and lectured her about a tape or video she'd ordered. Others were told to have their money if they wanted to order so they were on guard and watching. I was shocked reading here JWs actually ordered and picked up literature without ever paying a dime.

Yes, but I want the facts/evidence. I'm very concerned about the ocean life dying right now from the homeless horror in so cal.

Maybe another topic started about "do about it?" and whether it's real?

Yes re/"Environmental Cult" and it's stressful/discouraging to many who just want/need to take in factual info w/out the political agenda. The scientists and climatologists seem to be at odds -- before I get blasted - I realize majority support climate change view. The cult side isn't going to consider any other views/facts. Hope I didn't go out of boundaries here. I'm not negative re/climate change -- there has to be an adverse effect.

Too much and I want my money back - lying crooks! Between the member beggars and trying to own a cult library - providing work for losers and the money check in the drop box I would have had better odds at the sports book or roulette wheel with my eyes closed and I don't gamble nor know anything about it. I became suspicious when a big clique elder (most were very kind and nice but I didn't deal with any of them) spouted off of platform JWs were resolved to serve Jehovah whether the end was coming or not! WOW! No cubbies - nothin' in sight.
