  Someone has to report this to the media. The Guardian would surely be curious. I can see the headline:

  "Jehovah's Witness leaders guilt-trip children to donate their pocket money to them"

  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).

  There is scriptural evidence to indicate that Job commemorated his sons birthdays.

  The ancient Israelite's held a feast on the third birthday of a child, to celebrate the child's weaning.

  A birthday is a wonderful way to let the child know how much it is loved, and to commemorate the gift of life.
  

  Children are a gift from God, the Society says, and a birthday dinner (without all the pagan stuff associated) would be a wonderful way to make the children feel loved and to say thanks to Jehovah for the gift of children.

  The JW stance on birthdays is just another fanatical, contrarian position that is so hurtful to children that was developed by single, childless, life-long chronic masturbators like Fred Franz to create a sense of being somehow different and special, set-apart from "Babylon the Great" and the world.

  The GB really has reached the nadir in scum-bucketness, saying a little child should donate to them instead of buying an ice-cream.

  Is there any more vile a religion except for the religious extremists in ISIS (no sports, no fun) for treating children so horribly than the JW's?

  No birthdays, Easter, Christmas (accordingly viewed as a weirdo by schoolmates), no after-school sports, children forced to sit through dull, boring long meetings twice a week with no separate programme for the little ones like other churches do, babies and children to die rather than get an emergency life-saving blood transfusion, a paedophile in every congregation who is almost impossible to kick-out, must go door-knocking as a child magazine seller.....

  You can tell the morality of any society or religion by how well it treats it's children, and JW's scrape the bottom of the barrel.

  The GB make me puke!

  Simplified Suggestion-- The Generation of 1914

  by FusionTheism in

  2. beliefs

  the governing body has recently placed a large priority on simplicity and clarity in their teachings and publications.

  the watchtower study edition, march 15, 2015, pages 8-10:.

  in recent years, the spiritual instruction provided by jehovahs organization has reflected an increased emphasis on simplicity and clarity.

  How about this:

  Say that "this generation" is simply the same as the "chosen ones" of Matthew 24:22. You heard it from me first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Matthew 24: " 21 for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+

  Sleeve tatto's look absolutely disgusting, ugly, unless you want your arm to permanently look like it's been burnt in a fire or like it's got gangrene. Fashion victim is what you are.

  Dwindling Attendance? Here's a quick fix!....

  by Tech49 in

  2. friends

  so here's a real life experience you will get a kick out of.. our kh has about 90 publishers.

  typical meeting attendance during a co visit is right at 100 or so.

  the rest of the time, attendance is a dismal 50-60, sometimes 70 on a good week!.

  Excuses to miss the meeting that won't raise suspicion of a fade

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.

  this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).

  2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).

  All you have to do is say "I'm just having a break; will be back soon"

  Works like magic.

  Why God is an untenable concept

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  around three thousand two hundred years ago a tiny tribe of desert pastoralists were called israelites for the first time.

  by assuming this name it acknowledged, as was the custom, the name of a god el..

  el was a chief sort of god and he had a fabled number of seventy sons including yahweh.

  A rather elaborate but not untrue explanation for why ancient superstitious fiction has taken such a hold as fact in the minds of billions of 'modern' human beings.

  I could summarise the Bible (real history blended with scary fables) in four simple words: priestcraft and pious fraud.

  priestcraft

  noun

  1. Priestcraft is the method that a priest uses, generally referring to a negative action.

     An example of priestcraft is a cruel method that a bad priest uses to scare the congregation.

     pious fraud

     A pious fraud is someone whose fraud is motivated by misguided religious zeal.

  May’s ‘study WT’ admits having taught “far-fetched” ideas

  by wheelwithinwheel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  not on the front page, not in the study articles, but carefully camouflaged in the questions from readers on page 18 (watchtower march 15, 2015).

  you can bet most jws wont even read it..

  there is no apology...just the usual excuses..

  That's not the best example Steve2. Matt 24:45-47 is not just a 'simple parable' only. There are prophetic elements to Matt 24:45-47. Jesus identified a future subset group (basically, teachers substituting for him) that would be "feeding" a larger group (broader body of disciples) before the master's return. It's only the Watchtower Society's egocentric and eisegesistic application that is so obviously wrong.

  The UN Security Council is a disgrace

  by fukitol in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the syrian conflict and lack of action by the un basically proves to me the un is a failed model.. that prick bashar's army is dropping barrels bombs on schools, hospitals, killing little children etc, but russia and china with their vested geo-political interests just veto any resolution proposed by the un security council to intervene.. circa 5 years of suffering by millions of women and children living in deprivation and misery in refugee camps, with all manner of atrocities and war crimes still occurring in syria itself.

  all the meanwhile this disgusting asshole bashar and his military cronies continue in power and live in luxury.. it absolutely breaks my heart and makes me sick to my stomach.

  i don't give a toss about all the rationalisations and counter-arguments people may make defending the bashar regime.. as far as i'm concerned, the un security council is a broken and failed entity, a spineless, essentially corrupt model with grossly conflicting vested interests that are blockading fundamental moral and humane principles and obligations enshrined in it's charter.

It has grossly FAILED the millions of refugees, innocent little ones and women mostly and all the civilians still trapped inside Syria suffering the hell they are enduring daily with no end in sight.

  SHAME on the UN Security Council. You are a disgusting failure!
