  THE BLIND SPOT identifying the refuting target of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the life of a human being progresses toward maturity and peaks and then gradually atrophies into old age, inability, possibly debilitation and then death.. it is the same for all people unless they meet with an accident or misfortune along that continuum.. i propose that we measure and test the virtue of being a jehovah's witness by focusing on the blind spot of their religion.. .

  what is the blind spot?.

  the watchtower society is in major denial that the members of that religion will actually grow old and die.. as a consequence of this major blind spot the members are less likely to include provisions for that inevitability.. the active and committed jw spends a preponderance of their vital years serving the needs of the group and not for saving for old age.. once that outstanding performance lessens and fizzles into decrepitude--the society itself makes no provision for their senescence.. .

  Terry,

  I want to compliment you on the depth of your posts on here. You put a lot of thought into them and while I may not agree with you 100% of the time, I appreciate your efforts.

  Checklists for High-Control Groups/Cults

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  checklist of characteristics.

  deception lies at the core of mind-manipulating and high-demand ("cultic") groups and programs.

  many members and supporters of these groups/movements are not fully aware of the extent to which they have been abused and exploited.

  The Bible and Masturbation...4000 years of inspired input and no scriptures about it ?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my philosophy when i was a teenager :"those who admit to it are stupid ,those who deny it are liars" that was my response to peers who posed such a subject when i was a teen .now, being a mature aged person i think this subject could do with a bit more enlightened content.. i am a male so i can`t speak for the females ,who, i hope will give their input on this topic for discussion.and i mean it as a serious discussion.. males experience erections from the time they are babies and the natural thing to do is to hold it , and before you know it fondling it gives you releif.. society doesnt help by making you feel guilty and like shit as a dirty person.why in the world do babes ,young children ,young boys get erections before they even know what it`s function is for.

  if a god designed sex for procreation then surely this wouldnt become an issue until they reached the age of puberty ,not when a male is still a baby.. and getting back to my op nowhere in the bible does it talk about masturbation which surely has been going on since adam was a boy/man.. i`m sorry, but to deny that you would have to be a complete idiot ,imbecile ,fool ,or just brain dead.. so for 4000 years of inspired scriptures from god ,nothing is said about a condition that effects every man from his birth to his death .. makes you wonder doesn`t it ?.

  smiddy.

  Has leaving the truth( i hate that word) caused you to do things now that you would not have normally done ?

  by sieborg in

  2. friends

  although we all know that there are many disadvantages of being brought up ( vomit sound) in the truth.

  but would you say that leaving has maybe caused you to do some things that you would not have normally have done in life ?

  for me personally now i have lots of free time ( mine all mine, evil laugh) i have almost finished my first novel.

  I got my Master's degree, started my own business, enjoy sleeping in on the weekends, love visiting new places without concerning myself with where and when the meetings are, found true love, became interested in the world and all the advancements being made, lost the requisite judgemental attitude and developed true compassion...and so much more. Did I mention I am happy? I discovered what that really feels like.

  Misquotes, Lies and deception in Watchtower Publications

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have just finished an article misquotes, deception and lies and would like your comments, proof reading, and any other examples that you think are important to add.

  most of these already appear on jwfacts.com within specific articles, but it is more powerful seeing them included together.

  there have also been a number of requests over the years for such a collection.

  Definitely can relate to your frustrations as I need a reboot on 2013 also but for different reasons. I like to think that I am getting all the yucky crap out of the way so the rest of the year is smooth sailing and fantastic....rock bottom means you can only be upwardly mobile. Anyway, hope things start to look brighter and I think the advice to fake it til you make it is spot on.
