  Prediction in "Bible Teach" book is already a false prophecy

  by hamsterbait in

  2. beliefs

  they warn the person actually reading the book that they should heed their warnings of armageddon, as it "will come in your lifetime".

  since they now pin it on the life of anybody who reads the book, only one of those who read it needs to die to prove them wrong.. if i die it didnt come in my lifetime neither!

  don t these clowns really think about some of the stuff they print?.

  so in my mid teens i finally refused to stop all jw activity naively thinking i may be able to live a more normal life.

  (i was already taken out of school at 14.

  ) after this i wasn't allowed to go outside even a few feet in front of the door by myself.

  Sort of but not as extreme as your situation. When I was 16 my parents didn't like me going out with someone so they made me split up with him and restricted my movements and dropped/picked me up at work so they knew where I was at all times.

  You know, the fact that the title of the talk matches EXACTLY the title of the infamous Awake! is just uncanny. Probably a coincidence, but imagine if it were one of those rascally writing department guys slipping this stuff under the radar?

  Wouldn't that be strange.

  Pre-emptive shunning - a growing reality

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm scanning through some of the results from the 2012 jw survey as they're coming in.. the most populous of the six voting categories with 76 voters so far is my own category, for those who are inactive, or "faded/fading" (not disfellowshipped or da'd, but no longer reporting time on the ministry).. one statistic already leaping out at me surrounds the question "do you experience 'pre-emptive shunning' from active witnesses, who view you as 'bad association'?

  " of the 74 who voted on this so far, 76% have answered "yes" to this question.. it's early days, and obviously i will have a clearer picture of the extent of the problem once the survey closes at the end of the year.

  however, the results already in suggest that pre-emptive shunning is widespread among inactive ones, despite this not being an "official" policy of the society.. i was interested in your opinions as to why this may be?

  I've done the slowest fade imaginable. I'm still being shunned.

  All that consideration as to being kind to people's feelings and where did it get me?!
