  Looks like a long incoherent rant. You announce a ponzi scheme but nowhere it is really explained. And people bringing in new people to the religion, then any religion would be a ponzi scheme according to your definition? (And then you deviate into blood transfusion policy without a clear link). I don't think religions preaching/converting is what people generally define as the ponzi scheme. A ponzi scheme is much more specific.

  Is the watchtower basically admitting here that they disfellowshipped this guy for one allegation of fraud alone? It only speaks of one Mr Robert Wee claiming to be defrauded. Wasn't there a two-witness rule?

  If this is the whole story it would be remarkable to use that two-witness Bible verse to defend not having to DF child abusers while in this fraud case, one witness was enough to decide to DF?

  Many benefits come from treating those in our territory as we would like to be treated

  Indeed! This means field service requirements have been dropped?

  my son asked me 40 years ago.

  should we be glad adam sinned?

  because if he hadn't, we would not be the person we are.. any opinions?

  In this hypothetical scenario, we also wouldn't have known the person we would otherwise be. So it doesn't really matter

  I cannot be disliked

  by Late Bloomer in

  1. social
  2. humour

  i was reading the thread "problem with likes/dislikes" and i don't understand the issue.

  if you don't want your posts disliked, all you do go to your profile and uncheck the box next to the option that says "allow my posts to be rated.

  " unfortunately this removes the options to have your posts liked as well but it's fair when you think about it.

  Mass baptism nullification 10/2/16 #unJW

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought i would rework this and try it again.

  i found an old baptism nullification letter here written by poster balsam, and revised it a bit.. i really think we should do a large-scale baptismal nullification request.

  letter and more info here.. i am concerned there is no way to track how many people did it.

  The memorial songs sucked.

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't know who the idiots are that write, or approve these songs, ( the creative team of lett and tomo??

  ) but they suck!!

  there is a line in the first song ( # 147 ) that blatantly contradicts the wtbts dogma of the heavenly calling being an invitation as opposed to a sure thing.

  Jehovah's Witness Literature Warning Label

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just had a thought.

  the government should do what they did with the tobacco industry and prescription drug industry and force the watchtower corporation (also mormons and scientologists, etc) to print warnings on its misleading literature and pamphlets.

  they can have all their paradise panda petting, fruit eating, khaki pleated pants wearing bullshit propaganda on the front.

  Good idea but I recommend short and simple: on front cover Watchtower put a big box:
