  JW Expressions We Hate

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.

  " who talks like that?

  they must be relics of the fred franz era.

  today's text -.

  sunday, january 24. they collected the fine ones into containers, but the unsuitable they threw away.—matt.

  13:48.. understanding the lesson of this illustration helps us to avoid being overly distraught or disappointed if a bible student or one of our children does not make the truth his own.

  I was unsuitable for nearly 60 years. I tried to keep going for my wifes' sake.

  In JW parlance I was also NOT qualified to do anything!

  Some years ago when Bristol Assembly Hall, UK was being built, I volunteered for weeding - I wasn't even suitable for that!

  DF'd 3 years now - I never will be suitable for the JW Organisation.

  Daily Express article discussing June Watchtower ''Rise of ISIS and earthquakes are WARNINGS before ARMAGEDDON destroys Earth''

  by defender of truth in

  however, according to a group that publishes research about jehovah's witnesses, which is a religion practiced in 240 countries, the creed has a history of prematurely warning of the "end" - before trying to erase such pronouncements from its history.. .

  monitors point to several previous predictions, such as a forewarning of armageddon in 1914 although jehovah's witnesses later claimed they had foreseen the outbreak of the first world war, which began in the same year.. .

  a spokesman for website jwfacts.com said: "one of the most misleading statements in watchtower publications is that they accurately foretold 1914 to be the 'start' of the conclusion of this system of things.. .

  Exciting new Brother seems ideally qualified for a JW

  by jimtheman699 in

  so, jw's are being investigated for grilling innocent child abuse victims in their own courts, they punish the innocent and protect the guilty, they hide child abusers in their own ranks and protect pedophile elders.

  next stop london bethel for this new brother then - ideally qualified.

  the yorkshire ripper has enjoyed a specially-arranged baptism service in broadmoor after becoming a jehovah's witness.. peter sutcliffe, 68, who was jailed for murdering 13 women, was recently baptised in a pool in a private room at the high security hospital.

  Almost unbelievable!  Perhaps he will be released to serve on the Governing Body?

  The organisation has lost all credibility and is just a joke.

  2. beliefs

  we often hear the phrase.

  its used to accuse.... they did not follow j's arrangement, you have to live by j's arrangement.

  or to brag.... its all due to j's arrangement , we work with his org, and according to the arrangement.

  The 'arrangement' is just what the local elders personal thoughts are at the time. It varies from time to time and day to day and person to person!

  Happy New Year.

  Do You Try To Avoid The Witnesses When You See Them?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i think i typically don't want to be either love bombed or questioned.

  i happen to see jws a lot while visiting my mom.

  they don't go there with me, which works well for all concerned..

  So what types of people actually flourish under the JW regime?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i sure as eggs know which types don't:.

  creative types: to do well at a creative industry one must dedicate a lot of time to developing one's talent, and as a jw one simply doesn't have time.

  since writing a story or painting a picture doesn't contribute in any way to prestudy, meetings or fs results it's considered useless anyway.

  How to prove God does not exist?

  by UBM101 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many times (almost all the time) atheists asking for proof of god's existence from those who believe that god exists.

  perhaps at times they should prove he doesn't exist.

  any taker?

  I looked up the defintion of an apostate and found a possible tactic in talking to a JW.

  by 5go in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  assuming they converted to being a jw that is.

  because simply converting reigions or changing one's beliefs makes one an apostate by defintion.. just though i would bring that up..

  "Anyone who stands up against lies, anyone who takes a stand against lies, anyone who turns away from lies, anyone who refuses to keep hearing lies, anyone who seeks truth, is defined by the cult as an "apostate"."

  Then: I AM an "apostate" AND proud of it. I was disfellowshipped on Elders lies.
