  My mom, longtime JWs, is a big fan of garage sales. An elders wife had them 4x a year. Now my aunt was convinced of demons etc, but I think that JW wackiness is not universal

  How Jehovah's Witnesses could become a huge mainstream religion without harming people. Any thoughts?

  if jws did the following, i believe they would grow exponentially and become one of the largest 'religions' on earth : .

  1. no more dfing or shunning......its up to your conscience who you like or don't like.

  in the same way if i was catholic living in ireland, i wouldn't hang out with my neighbor if she was a drunk fornicator, just had an abortion, had a taliban boyfriend and also supported liverpool soccer club.

  They never really wanted to be a religion and have never prided themselves on being Christian. They want number$, not to be Mr Rogers and pope Francis all wrapped up in rainbows and church suppers. They want money without pesky humanity mucking up the works with any kind of needs, whether emotional, spiritual, financial, physical or social. The entire set up now lets you know that!

  It's notable that an admittedly fake religion is kinder to sick people than the " true Christians", Jehovah's Witnesses and the wtbts.

  Probably is a surety to make sure they didn't start a project and leave it half done and moldering for decades, depreciating local property values. Now that it has reached a degree of completion, they believe it will be completed and they have the wherewithal to finish what they started.

  The timing makes me wonder, of course! Maybe they need that TO complete it, or to hold them over until their ship comes in. I think that returning it in chunks might be normal. Or maybe not!

  What is your purpose or what do you wish to accomplish while a member of this board?

  by Tenacious in

  when i joined this forum i was seeking more people who felt the same way i did in terms of seeing the jehovah's witness organization for what it truly was; a false prophet.. once i found like-minded members i slowly started to open up and participate more in trying to help others that were also exiting mentally and physically.

  today, i offer support to anyone who desires it regardless of what they believe or not believe.. so what is your purpose on this board?.

  support?

  Morbid curiosity. Info about a train wreck in progress. Self congratulatory back pats for escaping while young(whew!). Encouragement for those trapped in. People who understand the perversity of family relationships in the org.

  It was a boring meeting, don't kill the messenger😊 Let's admit it, we get anything remotely interesting told long before the AGM and this year, with all the stuff we heard that's not even released yet, the AGM seems lamer than usual.

  The WTBTS is a boring organization. Not interested in frosting that particular turd!

  The fact that this monolithic religion does not ask or expect that involvement with them should make a kinder response to others/ or an improvement in oneself. I'm not talking about following rules, but the opposite. Being a believer should change one to be a kinder, more generous person to others. To improve the world around them in big or small ways. Not to give more to a religion or to quit smoking. To see others in need and want to help them. To BE a more useful human being in their community. The JW mindset is truly that such an idea is foolish and pointless if it extends beyond magazine distribution and cleaning the KH/serving the organization.

  Any religion can have bad folks among them, but JW/wtbts lower the humanity of their faithful by listening to their spin on Christian life. It's perverse like ISIS. Like Nazis, like anyone who puts an ideology above humanity. It's intent is to pull you away from the larger family of man, not for you to contribute.

  That is one thing, but it's a biggie.
