  Survey: How long were you in the cult vs what year you were baptized

  hi people,.

  i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).

  1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

  Can everyone agree on an anti-Watchtower definition?

  i would like to see a unified effort from those that have defected.

  certainly there are exceptional, very legitimate, detailed experiences from a few.

  what about the regulars that chose to leave?

  Are you familiar with the No True Scotsman fallacy Wirerider?

  
  The "no true Scotsman" fallacy is certainly alive and kicking when it comes to Islamic extremism.

  Do they still own 21 Clark Street "The Towers" building? I recall this was where most of the senior bethelites and GB were housed.

  Adele's new album....

  by _Morpheus in

  2. entertainment

  adele's new album came out today.

  so far i love it, although one of the songs feels a bit overwrought to me.

  i find her to be at her best, as i always have, when she is singing only accompanied by a piano.

  i remember at my teen years when i was studying with a brother that he said to me that there was no rain before the flood.

  instead there was this mist that you have.

  never before or after this have i heard something like this.

  using a roku may damage the color on tv sets.

  it appears to change the color phase to magenta.. has anyone else noticed this problem on their tvs while using a roku?

  apparently, the problem cannot be repaired.. http://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=90113.

  so what are your thoughts on astral projection?

  is he crazy?

  Any funny stories of when a"brother" giving a talk, said something "funny" or "questionable", and didn't even realize it?

  by Dunedain in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  there were always all types of speakers in the org.

  myself, growing up a "witness", must have heard all types of talks, and given by all manner of speakers, especially on sundays, when almost every week we would get a "visiting" brother giving the public talk.. sometimes, you would have a "great" speaker, all fluent and animated.

  other times we would get a comical speaker, one who would maybe purposelly get a few laughs outta the audience.

  A few spring to mind. A brother got up to give a talk and when he adjusted the lectern height to put his books in the right position he didn't tighten it properly. As he began his talk he gripped it with both hands and it suddenly dropped to which he exclaimed "oops I've got a wobbly rectum".

  A visiting speaker was giving a talk where the outline touched on horoscopes, he then pulled out the newspaper and read out every horoscope. There were complaints to his body of elders!

  A local elder who wasn't the sharpest tool in the box gave the talk "a godly view of sex and marriage". It seemed that he wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of how procreation worked and got himself in a muddle. When describing the point where an embryo becomes a foetus be inexplicably termed it as when the "embryo becomes a fully full fully". News of the talk spread to those who weren't there on the day and those in neighbouring congregations and a number of copies were passed around for amusement value.

  And of course in every congregation someone said orgasm instead of organism.

  The right to shun - wrong?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many people are understandably upset and angry at the notion that jws have the right to shun people.

  it seems such an obvious "no brainer" cruel and inhuman thing to do - it must be wrong ... surely?.

  of course we look at things from the perspective of those hurt and harmed by shunning.

  What could and should be legislated against is an organisation, and particularly one with tax free status, dictating who should be shunned. Furthermore the threat of being shunned if you don't shun another individual should also be outlawed.

  Shunning of one individual by another should be a personal choice not mandated by a corporation.

  Are logos evil?

  by goddidit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a vague memory of jws having some objection to logos of some kind in the past, which might be a contradiction to the recent addition of the jw.org logo.. please can someone enlighten me on what their stance used to be regarding logos?.
