  I quite often go onto the JW topix website. Absolutely after any catastrohe the JWs are jumpling up and down saying the end is near. They make up their own rules about Jesus sign. Anything negative and the big A is imminent

  Broken promises. I presume you understand that some people know more about a subject than others. Barbera and some others on this site have worked very closely with the governing body in the past. Will they be better informed than someone who just reads about it? Of course they will.

  In any facet of life, there are ones who know the subject better than the ordinary man in the street. So nothing whatsoever to do with a heirarchy, just common sense to pay attention to someone who has a lot more experience on the subject than us. (been there got the teashirt!)

  what a piece of work.

  couple of thoughts..... - i know they aren't in it for the money, but not a single member of the gb was wearing less than a $700 fitted suit.

  might have been more expensive and tailored, couldn't tell.

  The society have released a second dvd at the witnesses district assemblies.

  The thing that is very clear to anyone who has an open mind ,is that the society only show what they want people to hear in the dvd. Most of their past errors are never mentioned.

  Worldy opposition is interpreted as confirmation of the truth

  by MrMonroe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  interesting comment on the talk page of the wikipedia article on the governing body here:.

  one dopey jw (wandering-teacher) who complained that the article was "biased" against the jws was supported in a comment by another assumed jw (galik) who whined that the article was "peppered with quotes from known opposers of jehovah's witnesses in order to use this article as a propaganda vehicle".. wandering-teacher replied: "thanks for the support, galik.

  the difficulty of having a neutral point of view in the ... article strengthens my faith that i have made the correct religious choice for me.".

  From the very first bible study they have, JWs are told they will get opposition.

  What they do not tell you or understand, is that any opposition is normally from friends and family who do not want you to ruin your life by becoming involved in a religion that takes away your identily and proper reasoning powers.

  I wander if this statement was made because early indications have shown that the figure has gone up yet again for this year. Time will tell

  How to identify a JW from a distance

  by Bungi Bill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  much has apparently been said in recent years about how a "good" jw should be dressed and groomed, so as to be easily identified - even from a distance.. yesterday, while driving through town, i did see two people the distance:.

  - and certainly, by the way they were dressed, my suspicions were aroused.. - however, what confirmed their identity was not their dress and grooming.

  rather, as i drove up closer, i noticed both of them doing the "pioneer shuffle" up somebody's driveway:.

  Out of the mouths of babes. 1983 yearbook.

  by ThomasCovenant in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  1983 yearbook p11.. the puerto rico branch tells about an interested person who was studying with a special pioneer but whose husband showed no desire to do so.

  one day his five-year-old daughter said, "daddy, i want to grow up so i can be baptized.

  " later she said, "daddy, please study the bible with jehovah's witnesses so that you will not be destroyed and then you can be with us in paradise.

  Just shows the indoctrination that kids get.

  Clearly the five year old new next to nothing about the org. accept that she had been told that only JWs will not be destroyed by God.

  It is actually amazing that the sheep have no idea about loads of things that have happened in the JW history.

  I find that witnesses that comment on JW forums, know much more than the average witness. And of course these forums help ex witnesses as well, as we tell each other some of the crazy things we never new about when we were in the org.

  everyone read this so U all can help make my point

  by TheLoveDoctor in

  2. friends

  when reading all of the variety of toppics on this site it appears by the lack of responses that some dont really care about your subject?

  or they just cant find the word to say, or they mosly like reading but not commenting.

  and some subjects ive read that have had many comments compared to others are just plane stupid as hell.

  Hi Love doctor

  There are all sorts of reasons why sometimes we do not post.

  Some new threads are downright boring, (not very often)

  Other times we may have recently had a thread on the same subject.

  For some maybe they dont not have the time to always post a comment.

  Other times the topic is supeseeded by a new topic, and not all posters know you can still post in the archive section of the site

  Probably other reasons but that will do for now. I need a coffee.
