God hates liars

by Lady Lee in

quotes are from the 2005 wt cd red text is mine

the wts claims to be the sole source of god's truth on earth today.

truth is so important to them that they even use the term "truth" as a name for their teachings.

What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.

he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.

interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

When Will Jehovah`s Witnesses Appoint A Woman As A Governing Body Member.? It`s Long Overdue !

by smiddy3 in

jw
friends

jehovah himself gives the saying "the women telling the good news are a large army" psalms 68 : 11 coupled with the fact that a good portion of women partake of the emblems and wine at the annual memorial celebration.. identifying themselves as part of the 144000 that are taken from the earth to rule with christ jesus in the heavens.. isn`t it about time they were recognized for their contributions and given the fact that gods word the bible clearly states that 144,000 of anointed are to be taken from the earth which many women are a large part of.?.

revelation ch.14 :4 could be argued that they are not lesbians { "these are the ones who do not defile themselves with women ,in fact they are virgins, etc,etc.}.

i wonder just how many men who claim to be of the anointed have not defiled themselves with women and are virgins.?.

You Just Can't Make This S--t Up!

by FedUpJW in

i know this is kind of trivial but i don’t want to partake in something that might have connections with something that jehovah disapproves of.

i checked the watchtower library and i didn’t find anything on gingerbread man cookies.. .

good lord...how incredibly stupid and helpless are jdubs getting?

I didn’t find anything on gingerbread man cookies.

*** w50 12/15 p. 503 This Masquerade Called Christmas ***

Even the special Christmas dishes of food and the use of potent alcoholic drinks originated with the pagans. Back in the days of Jeremiah, those that turned away from Jehovah’s pure worship baked special cakes for their goddess, “the queen of heaven,” and it is from that ancient practice that such things as “gingerbread men”, mince pies and the like originated. (Jer. 7:18)

All Body of Elders in the UK – A Warning!

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

shortly after rising this morning (monday 20th november 2017), i checked the news on the bbc’s teletext service.

in the uk (page 1010) the following had top billing…... “jehovah’s witnesses ‘covered up’ abuse”.

“children who were sexually abused by jehovah’s witnesses were allegedly told by the organization not to report it.. victims from across the uk told the bbc they were routinely abused and that the religion’s own rules protected perpetrators.. one child abuse lawyer believes there could be thousands of victims across the country who have not come forward.. the organization said it did not ‘shield’ abusers and any suggestion of a cover-up was ‘absolutely false’.”.

fokyc

WAIT! - this must surely be FAKE! Hasn't the teletext service been closed down??

Not fake news!!!!

Jehovah's Witnesses sexual abuse 'covered up'

The sexual abuse of children within the Jehovah's Witnesses is being covered up, victims have told a BBC investigation.

Multiple former Jehovah's Witnesses have spoken of their abuse, with some claiming the movement's own rules are protecting perpetrators.

Victim Louise Palmer, from Halesowen, West Midlands, has waived her right to anonymity. Ms Palmer said when she revealed her years of abuse, she was told not to go to police.

A spokesperson for the church said it did not "shield" abusers.

One of the key ways to tell if it is a cult or toxic high control group....

by stuckinarut2 in

my wife and i were discussing a sure sign of a cult:.

when one knows more about the society / organization after leaving!.

lets face it, most of us here on this forum, and ex-witnesses in general know more facts about the history, background, practices, current procedures, scandals, etc than the average "still-in witness"!
