What they actually have are convenient memories. One thing they never forget is to use the Theocratic War Strategy, which is Watchtower's teaching that says they can lie to anybody who is not entitled to know the truth in their judgement. All is fair in Theocratic Warfare, including lying to investigators, judges, and other officials.
Is this found anywhere in print? If I could find this printed in a WT or book? If it is, it might just be the thing to crack the door of doubt on a parent.
a list of 27 famous jw's from the ranker site.. http://www.ranker.com/list/famous-jehovahs-witnesses/celebrity-lists?page=1.
bangalore.
a friend just texted that she just now received a generic phone message from the witnesses to check out the 'best christian resource online at jw.(b)org!'.
so this is what they're doing now?
spam voicemail is going to make people like them better??
my wife and i have recently gotten hooked on the history channel's series, vikings.
(my wife is full blooded norwegian....).
to be honest, the show is quite graphic in spots, but certainly no more so than a history book i own of the same time period.. anyhow, we made the mistake of mentioning the show if front of jw's last night and they were all thoroughly shocked that we watch it.. i tried pointing out that big chunks of the ot are not materially different and that even the confrontation between david and goliath would get an 'r' rating if it were visually portrayed in any detail at all.
Maybe they are upgrading to IMAX! lol
it seems incredibly difficult.
those who leave the org.
(or fade) no longer have anything in common with jehovah's witnesses, nor do they want to stick around to get radiated by the fear and guilt that saturates every aspect of a witnesses' life.. i've lost all but one of my jw friends quite simply because i can no longer condone the evil things that they condone.
oe134cd38 minutes agoI had an interesting one the other day, with a FBook jw friend. Although I mentioned to him that I wasn't going to meetings, I sincerely wanted to know about the flags been flown out side the KH in Chile (he lives there). I then showed him the letter from the chilean branch. 24 hour later I was blocked. Although telling of jw friendship I can't say it's surprising.

the difficulty of finding a marriage mate is well known for sisters.
but i would say it's hard for brothers also.
i was talking to a jw last night.
well my mom asked me if i would be attending the district assembly that is taking place this weekend with them.
i gave her a firm "no", she gave a look of total surprise.
probably because in the past i would say, maybe or if i can and would sometimes show up for half a day.
so something i never knew was the fact jw's were taught that jesus is only the mediator for the anointed class and not for everyone.
i only found this out after reading "crisis of conscience" and i was actually pretty shocked to learn so.
if that is the case, when they pray why even bother saying the words "in the name of jesus christ we ask"?
