  Hi wizzstick

  I did make that point to admin but the decision was only made a week ago and they were dead set on closing ASAP without discussion with the membership. I think a lot of people will find their way here.

  Who was the poster who predicted radical Watchtower change years ago?

  by slimboyfat in

  2. beliefs

  who was the poster, about 8 years ago, who came on the forum and claimed he had inside information that the gb were planning radical changes.

  he said that in ten years time jws would be unrecognisable.

  many were skeptical.

  TWO MEN who changed Watchtower History but YOU NEVER HEARD of them!

  two men who changed watchtower history but you never heard of them!

  cults are famous for control--especially controlling information about people, places and events which are embarrassing to their self-myths.. especially is this true for two important figures in watchtower history.. .

  the first man is william f. hudgings.

  The Greatest Intellectual Scam of All-Time: French Postmodernism

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  sbf you annoyed me enough to deserve this.. gad saad's comments on the nonsensical gibberish of jacques derrida, michel foucault, and jacques lacan.

  charlatanism of the highest order.

  .... the first quote from derrida starts as 2:50.

  My view is the "scientific method" had become a bit of a gold standard which some people want to apply to everything; from this perspective there are universal facts "out there" to be discovered. However your methods shape the knowledge you produce. Empirical, experimental methods work well for the natural sciences they leave room for huge oversights and unacknowledged assumptions when it comes to areas like psychology and philosophy.

  Edited to add: I believe I am sufficiently qualified to venture an informed opinion on this topic.

  Is it Time to Declare that The Great Tribulation Has Started ?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't really engage in doctrinal discussions about jw's anymore.

  they seem to say some pretty crazy stuff.

  but i have read some threads discussing doctrinal changes and how watchtower is really out of ideas and money at the same time.

  Maybe they won't declare the great tribulation but that the ark door is shut. The dubs would get all fired up about giving the judgement message without the GB having to shoot the GT load. The risk of them ending up with even less credibility if they called the great tribulation would be too much.

  Witness Carts - A Vehicle for Significant Decline

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was stalking to a jw today about her recent experience on the carts and with being a jw generally.

  until this conversation i considered the carts as just an ineffective preaching method and a harmless waste of time.

  but now i wonder if the effect of the carts might be to produce noticeable decline in jw numbers.

  I was in the city centre last week and walked past about 4 carts. I was approached by campaigners fur the EU referendum twice, people who are passionate about their message and wanted to engage people and make a difference. Not so the JWs.

  Feeling Sad After Uncovering TTATT

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my initial pangs of unease and doubt led me to research some things.

  well, a lot of things really.

  i've never felt comfortable using the bible to try to calculate dates (1914).

  I think we've all been there. It's like grief, you'll go through anger and bargaining too. But eventually with time and effort come acceptance. You have clearly been doing your research but don't forget to do some things to help you psychologically too. If you haven't yet read Steve Hassan's books it would be a good idea to do so before having further conversations with your wife about it all.

  Welcome.

  My thoughts on the shunning part at the convention

  by stuckinamovement in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wts has gone off the rails and is "unrepentantly" hateful.

  they are blatantly requiring mothers and fathers to disown/hate their own children that they have loved and cared for since birth simply because they don't comply with the orgs demands.

  how is this love?

  It depends on your definition of "serious sinning". How about celebrating birthdays or Christmas?
