  Movies that resonate with you as an ex-JW or awake JW

  by RayPublisher in

  2. entertainment

  the matrix - "do you want the blue pill or the red pill?

  ", "all i offer you is the truth", "ignorance is bliss", "the matrix is all around us".

  shutter island - creepy, is it real or isn't it, it turns out the whole thing is a dream.

  Happy Feet - where Mumbo goes against the elders and his own father is forced to shun him.

  For a childrens' film it has some pretty deep themes - well worth a watch.

  yes, friends, it's that time once more... when we clip some wt art to a post and try to find all the subliminal wt propaganda messages hidden in the illustration.

  (kinda like, "can you find the differences between these two drawings" for kids in the sunday comics).

  here's the illustration:.

  I also noticed that only the 'bad example' youths were wearing wristwatches.

  That's probably why JWs keep asking 'Is it later than you think'.

  Timing of "thinner magazines" announcement

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the announcement of the reduced number of pages in the watchtower & awake will be made after the watchtower study following the "special talk" on april 8.. theoretically, that's when there will be more visitors and "outsiders" than usual.

  even the talk itself has 1/2 of its content directed at inactive jws.. obviously this reduction in pages has been in the works for several weeks if not months.

  why pick that date to announce it?

  Encouraging people to research JW beliefs on the Internet seems a very dangerous strategy to me.

  Quite baffling.

  She will just be disfellowshipped and no scientologist will be allowed to talk to her again.

  Religions are exremely hard to injure - they are protected by their followers' extreme reluctance to admit they were duped.

  “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”
  ? George Orwell , 1984

  I.E.

  Ask a JW ' Do you believe that God will kill all non JWS at Armageddon?

  Then say:

  So I'm a good person whith the right heart condition, God will not kill me at Armageddon, I don't need to be a JW.

  Compare and contrast the answers :-)
