Doubting JWs ever approached you?

by greendawn in

while you still were jws did any doubting jw ever try to talk to you about the flaws of the org and instil in you some doubt?

someone had told me that he didn't believe the gb members were straight and honest people that many of their ideas were wrong and that they had a secret agenda to pursue beyond the one they publicly proclaimed.

at the time i thought he may be right since they seemed to control everything and didn't allow anyone to contribute even the (so called) anointed.

yeah almost all of my age group when I was 16

I shopped them all to the elders

joking actually though, a group of us did come to the realisation that it was a load of crap at the same time

jehovahs witnesses go to meetings twice a week to train and learn how to manipulate people into questioning their belief and doubting their faith.

I am not disputed the nuttiness of the WTBTS here, as a former JW I know all about that, I just don't personally see the article as beneficial as a critical look at JW's, the authors words make him look a bit fanatical as it is, it is more likely articles like that actually gain the witnesses sympathy

July 20-22. So I will come along as your wife then shall I? They are always pretty tight on seats at that venue as I recall though and i got asked which congregation I was from last time I went, which was while I was dfed a few years back. I'm not doing a whole day though

well it is a public open event

We would need rings if you were my wife lol, jw's are quick to spot things like that. When I went last year I got asked no real questions to be honest but we can have a cover story or just say we are interested. We could do the morning session then go and get drunk haha

If I read this article and had no previous experience of JW's I would probably think it was OTT and with all the rubbish about "Satan's Agents" I would mostly likely think the author a bit nuts to be honest

I go suited and booted, hair cut all dub like, bible in hand, normally have to share a songbook, what is really ironic is that I pay FAR more attention at convos now than I ever did as a dub. I especially like the "resolution" part where they get the whole audience to give a resounding Yes! to yet more removals of their personal liberties, this is generally done right at the end of the convo where everyone is so knackered that they would say yes to anything

THE UNIVERSE - What do you now believe about it?

by Black Man in

jw
friends

i was watching this documentary on the various galaxies and it stated that the universe is still expanding, planets are being created as we speak.

it also detailed some of the planets within our solar system and some beyond it and speculated how some were favorable for habitation and that some show evidence of having a water supply.

what do you believe about the universe?
