  If JWs were to change their name what would they change it to?

  by slimboyfat in

  2. beliefs

  was it 1931 when they adopted jehovah's witnesses?

  (at the time with lower case w) isn't it about time now they changed name again?

  i mean everything else is changing why not the name!

  by Lost and adrift in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  does anybody remember a rumour or maybe it was a truth?

  ?...something about hidden pictures or symbols in the artwork of the watchtower.

  was it one of those urban legends?

  Take a look at this art work that was changed in a songbook! See a difference? Don't tell me that looks like his hand! Is that what I think that is? It must be my imagination!

  Have we become what we despise so much?

  by Tenacious in

  2. beliefs

  the majority of members who tend to join this forum have been hurt possibly even traumatized sometimes to the point of wanting to end their lives.

  upon joining the forum, new members are welcomed with open arms, welcome messages start pouring in, "likes" are freely given, a false sense of security is promoted where a member is free to speak his mind without having to worry about the wt gestapo.

  again, similar to how potential converts are welcomed and "love bombed" upon entering a kh for the first time.

  Tenacious : 4 months ago you wrote Today I attended a one-day assembly in my hometown. I knew when it came time to read the afternoon expenses that it would be an incredibly high and ridiculous amount that was nowhere near the real expenses for that day.
  From what I gather,you still attend.

  The respect and admiration for leaving or trying to leave the lion's den only to enter another hostile environment where some members are quick to bash and berate someone's belief can be equally disconcerting and psychologically damaging

  Tenacious: This is not a Kingdom Hall with Elders.

  We studied every book the Watchtower told us to study.

  We attended 3 meetings per week (coming home late from the midweek meetings and ruining our Sunday afternoons)

  We were told how many hours a month we should preach.

  We were told who to associate with.

  We were sent to 4 days assemblies in the middle of July, sitting in the blazing sun getting heat stroke

  We were told what to wear, how long our hair should be, not to play high school sports, not to join any after school activities, not to listen to hard rock music, who to date, etc. etc. etc.

  HERE IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN SPEAK YOUR MIND AND HAVE YOUR OWN THOUGHTS. ISN'T WONDERFUL NOT HAVING SOMEONE WATCH EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE AND WATCH WHAT YOU SAY!

  cofty 4 hours ago

  I think most of them were just people's imaginations but I have seen one or two that are very suspicious.

  This is not my imagination! I clearly see eyes,nose,chin and mouth.How many arms or wrists do you see that look like this?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses standing on a street corner publicly promoting the propaganda of the governing body!another ridiculous form of "forced loyalty" to jehovah.

  "dirty work" that the wtbts make witnesses go through.preaching work '' lite''.putting more heavy loads on members while the ''faithful and discreet slave'' preach from warm studios without the humiliation.

  what an embarrassment!.

  If you see no problem with Jehovah's Witnesses literature cart witnessing,would you walk around with a sandwich board like this gentleman above (who is trying to get people who are walking around a busy section) to eat at a restaurant?

  OnTheWayOut said:
  I wish the load was as heavy as it could be so that JW's hate hate hate doing it. Less door-to-door and much less actually approaching people lets these people just enjoy a day out in the sun.

  I know it's easy preaching ''hours'' but do they really enjoy it?Is that something they would do on their own if they weren't forced to do to show loyalty to Jehovah?

  It's like people walking around with sandwich boards or dressing in a ''chicken suit'' and walking around to have customers walk in a chicken restaurant Also, it's like watching people standing around the streets with boards around their shoulders with prices to sell oil changes.It that what it has come down to!
