  Decluttering Swedish Watchtower books

  by applehippie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've been doing a lot of deep de-cluttering and came across some watchtower books i had stashed away and forgotten about.

  they belonged to my grandmother and came to me through my father's estate.

  just wondering if they would be useful to anyone.. sanningen som leder till evigt liv - truth book '69.

  Buddhism Anyone?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, i have recently been delving in buddhism and i must say it all makes sense!

  like, the philosophies and ideas are what i've always believed but could never put a name to.

  for example, they don't believe in god, they teach acceptance of all faiths, that peace can be achieved - not by changing other people - but by changing yourself, that everyone has goodness in themselves, that happiness can be gained internally (not externally as a gift from god), and that life is temporary so we should enjoy it!

  THEOCRATIC KENOSIS: the Watchtower Organization's ultimate goal for humanity

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ever wonder why jehovah's witnesses have almost nothing but words instead of love?.

  every wonder why jw's praise their corporate leaders rather than jesus?.

  every wonder why faith is only demonstrated by allowing children to die and molesters to escape, or disasters to be welcomed through obstinate demonstrations of loyalty to the org?.

  Using the "C-Word" With My Wife

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  months ago, i commented on another thread about a strategy i was using to introduce my wife to the way cults work--without using the word "cult" and scaring her away.

  here's my first comment on that thread:.

  i pulled hassan's bite model off the internet and imported it into my word processor.

  Circuit Assembly Summary

  by piztjw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought to give a more comprehensive summary, however this pretty well sums up the entire wasted day.. stand and sing.. prayer thanking the gb.. only jw's will survive "the end".. do more.

  preach more.

  indoctrinate your children more.

  Commenting At The Meetings---Did You Enjoy It?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was that important for you?

  most people, i believe, forced themselves to give an answer.

  i knew many elders and servants over the years being counseled because they rarely answered.. funny thing....my mom who is 88 cries if she doesn't give a comment.
