The work is speeding up
by bradford in
1. jw
2. experiences
i don't have a great reference point on my observation other than my local area but i was wondering if this was a widespread thing.

... in the last two years in my former congregation there have been 6 people to disassociate for "apostasy," 6 disfellowshipped for various reasons, and numerous ones reproved.

these are just the ones i have heard about.

Everything seems to be changing... why not birthdays?
by StarTrekAngel in
1. watchtower
2. bible
if we look at all doctrines, we see an overall effort to conserve unity and control.

- assuming most birthdays, if allowed, would probably be oriented to children, then that means 40 celebrations per year.

so all in all, this give a total potential attendance to a birthday of 30 families (120 attendance / 4 family members).

How the Watchtower organization does, in fact, claim to be an inspired prophet.
by Island Man in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
draw any jw's attention to watchtower's history of false predictions and invariably, somewhere down the line of the conversation, the jw will tell you that watchtower never claimed to be an inspired prophet and therefore cannot be accused of being a false prophet.

but is it really true that watchtower has never claimed to be an inspired prophet?.

technically speaking, the answer is yes - i think (if i'm wrong i'd love to see the quote).

by Tenacious in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
trying to develop a good strategy for relatives still partially indoctrinated by this despicable inhumane cult.

i researched their own material and i found some good info on how they don't mind control anyone.

the following unedited information was sourced from their february 15, 1994 watchtower p. 5-7. i've highlighted some sentences that we all know are lies and a distortion of the reality of their community:.

Is RIDICULE acceptable in online debating?
by nicolaou in
1. jw
2. experiences
this topic was inspired by one of fhn's comments on the 'warzone' thread, so i'll just restate my post there .

.. "i've been wondering for a while now if ridicule really is an unacceptable feature in debate - it certainly isn't a valid form of argumentation.

the thing is, some individuals really do come out with the most laughable nonsense and parade it as a serious proposition that merits attention.

Christian Arrogance
by startingover in
1. jw
2. friends
maybe arrogance is not the right word but i can find no other that describes what i see.

the idea expressed by some christians on this board is that somehow god specifically chose them.

i'll quote perry as an example as his post inspired this thread.
