  The faithlessness here

  by grissom6471 in

  2. friends

  it is a shame that people are here portraying themselves as jehovah's witness as having some knowlege or going to meetings.

  what exists here is a complete lack of faith in anything.

  and a great amount of stupidity.

  Friday District Convention notes: Control, control, control

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, one third of the convention is over, i had no choice but to attend due to my current situation.. the talks were worse than last year, and as usual if you have seen the program you will not find jesus in any of the talk titles - in fact, the only time jesus is mentioned is during a prayer or in connection with the ministry.. when you become aware of how sidelined jesus is, you can't help but notice that jehovah's witnesses are a modern version of the old testament religion - it's all about control, be attentive, obey the "faithful and discreet slave" etc etc, in stark contrast to belief and salvation through jesus.. only the talks with midly interesting material or that had ridiculous phrases used by the speaker are shown here.. friday.

  9:50 be attentive to jehovah's promises of deliverance .

  would you believe that this 20 minute talk was solely about being attentive to the program?

  it really amazes me when people say that the watchtower rules or controls people.

  boycott of davinci code movie and book.

  "Witlesses", "JDumbs", other labels.. How do you feel about them?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've commented before that the watchtower goes out of its way to label groups of people it doesn't want you to like -- "worldly people", "apostates", "christendom".

  there are scores of these labels.. people in general use them too: "spick", "n*gger", "trailer trash".

  once we allow ourselves to refer to people by a label, we automatically change them from an individual to a member of a group.

  Kingdumb Halls...crying poor. Are they really?

  by kwintestal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for the last 2 1/2 years of my jw experience, the kh was always saying how they had no money to pay the bills.

  they started holding "dollar days" at the meetings to get donations (the idea was everyone brought a dollar a meeting on top of their normal donation).

  finances reportedly got so bad that they had to decide to buy oil for the furnace, or plow the driveway one winter.

  Is there a big conspiracy to keep you poor?

  by Mindchild in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a witness, i often heard that if you left the trooth that you would become rich fast, have gratuitous sex constantly, become a drug addict and end up worshipping satan.

  man am i disappointed!!

  it seemed for the longest time that there was a giant conspiracy to keep me a poor working stiff just above the poverty line, especially so when i was going to college full time.

  Never Hire A Jehovah's Witness!

  by Kent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you are an employer, never hire a jehovah's witness.

  the reason for this is simple: that mistake may cost you a lot of money!

  you can bot expect a jehovah's witness to do what they are told to do, but you can expect them to do the oposite!
