  Specific banned shows, songs, etc...?

  by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know the society tells people not to listen to rock n roll cause its from teh satan, not to watch r rated movies because they're "worldly", etc.

  but i was wondering if folks had any specific instances where one song, one show, one movie, or whatever was singled out as being particularly 'evil', and banned on an individual basis?

  i was never a jw, but was in the worldwide church of god...the two are rather similar, i've seen many (and made quite a few myself) comparisons on the board; and i can remember as a child that every once in a while certain things would get brought up as being more evil and worldly than others.. examples of specific bans:.

  jringe,
  
  i'm sorry, but are you counting your hours on here or what, i thought only God knows when the end will come,(Only He knows)i thought we are not suppose to fear man!
  
  to me it seems you still believe that the borg is a direct channel from god,they are not fortune tellers, i believe that they are human beings who are power hungry, who have sometimes changed the rules to suit themselves, maybe you should read Crisis of Conscience and realise that they are human like you and me and nothing special.

  i remember very well at one circut assembly,
  
  meatloaf- i would do anything for love...
  
  reason being according to the lyrics " prayed to the gods of sex and drums and rock and roll" ( not sure if its right), Any way refering to the worship of idols or false gods! (rolling of eyeballs)

  Wikipedia being abused by Jehovahs Witnesses

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i had a look at the wikipedia entry for jehovahs witnesses yesterday and noticed that it wasn't as comprehensive as it once was.. most links to non-pro-jw sites have gone as is anything truly critical or exposing of their beliefs and practices.. last night i added a link to this site to the "other sources" section.

  this morning it is gone.. i wonder whether this is some private zealot who has decided to do it or an organised campaign?.

  well, they even tried to work on the page with raymond franz biography, i think even removing his picture
  
  once,calling him an apostate and questioning the authenticity of own experiences, sometimes you wonder how
  
  far the jdubs want to go to discredit anyone who says anything negative!

  First Post

  by Rethinking in

  2. beliefs

  first time posting, long time lurking.. came upon this site on accident a few years ago and dismissed it as a site for disgruntled people; however, in the past months i actively searched for it as it stuck in my mind.

  believe it or not, i practically read all of the topics.

  i felt, wow, i wasn't alone in my thinking and feelings about some things.. it all started years ago in my last year in high school and then into college.

  Totally agree, must be a hormone thing! LOL
  
  I rarely get along with woman my age, they always tend to want to stab you in the back! i don't know, must just be me feeling the way i do, i suppose just bad experiences. My friends are usually older than me, i must say i like it that way, less complicated!

  dear friends,.

  i just received a call from a concerned jw friend about what is going on behind my back.

  a dfd friend whom i've been supporting through his mental distress and suicidal tendencies has done me a very strange turn.
