People Were More Ingenious in the Past

by Simon in

ok, you'll have to bear with me with this one.. i want to talk about toasters.

a) a toaster you can buy today, any brand.

b) a toaster invented in 1948. for a bonus, how long do you think a toaster purchased today will keep working?

Finkelstein

Some old inventions from the past which I thought was pretty cool in the day.

An entertainment system complete with TV, record player and radio all put into a nicely designed finished solid wood cabinet.

Some of the cars in the 60's were like siting in a luxury living room with large plush seats, these care were made solid with metal and chrome everywhere inside and out and rode smooth like a dream..

Home Telephones that had a warm full tone sound to them, not the electronic sounds from the Cell phones today, everyone's voice sounded so much better on these phones.

Thats not to say there aren't cool inventions happening today.

I just purchased some wireless ear buds to listen to music and audio books which are stored on my cell phone. , that's pretty cool invention as well.

Believers: How do you know your view of your chosen holy book is the correct one?

by punkofnice in

don't start fighting, darlings.

i am genuinely curious.

after all i was a jobo 50 years and thought the wbt$ was 100% correct.. i ask this because i see that, for example, christian denominations (or whatever), likely have differing interpretations of the same writing.

Finkelstein

Receptive brainwashing of information by others creates the notion of we have the correct view of the holy scripts and you can use the JWS as an example.

Thats why they internally identify themselves as being in " The Truth "

The JWS religion comes to the forefront of we have the correct view and interpretation of the bible, the other Christian religions do not

Marital sex

by Tedeily in

my wife and i have always shared naked photos respectfully over the years.

being the only thing to fill that void in our relationship due to being apart.

recently my wife has become jehovah, and we’re not sure if my wife is allowed to respectfully share herself with me while i am away.

Finkelstein

Oh man your in real trouble once the JWs cult gets into her mind.

The JWS religion has strict regulations toward marital sex between a husband and wife..

Just a heads up warning

Where is Watchtower Getting the Money???

by Newly Enlightened in

brilliant video by a friend of ours in exposing watchtower & the new temple farms/chelmsford branch.

People are also make huge donations in their Wills all prearranged by the WTS.

But where the WTS is making the most amount of financial income is the acquiring land title deeds of Kingdom Halls or Branch sales of as late.

The WTS made close to 2 billion in the sales of all the buildings they own in Brooklyn New York just to use an example.

Then there are the sales of many branches around the world.

........but they still ask children to give up their little bit of candy money they have.

Crooked Fuckers ! sorry about the language

Exiting the JW's and its aftermath

by Victor in

jw
friends

as human beings we are capable of experiencing around 750 emotions.

parents use fear, guilt and shame to control their children to behave and do as they wish.

the jw's are masters at using the same 3 emotions to keep their members in check.

Finkelstein

The WTS creates a luring psychological cult of love and brotherhood, righteous virtue as being god's chosen organization because of their close adherence to the bible, god's word.

God's holy spirit is directing the organization through the GB anointed ones too.

When one first starts with the JWS people are impressed of the in front look and appearance of love, men are wearing suits, woman are dressed nicely, looking neat and tidy, smiles everywhere, look how happy god's people are !

The indoctrination process starts from there.

Overtime the aspect of subservience to the top leading men of the organization/cult sets in, lies, and hypocrisy are observed, the controlling oppression, fear, guilt and obligation becomes deeply imposed.

Are you doing enough ? are you showing your deeply felt devotion to Jehovah in accomplishing his will and purpose ?

The writings in the bible particularly the book of Revelation is taken as factual, meaning the world in going to be destroyed soon so we better draw other people into the organization to save their lives.

Fear, guilt and obligation is set .

The psychological trauma starts.

How do you feel about the JWS religion after being out more than 10, 20, 30 years ?

by Finkelstein in

myself being a born in and completely out for more than 30 years i see more of the damage of what this religious cult causes people .. part of myself leaving had to do with the psychological harm it was causing people back in the 1970's, one guy my age at the time hung himself out anxiety and depression.. the numerous suicides that have occurred in numbers is shocking to say the least.. then there is the many families breaking up.. marriages breaking apart because one member decides to leave the jws.. the deaths of members or their children from refusing a blood transfusion.. this hit me personally when my mother refused a bt when she was ill in the hospital and died.. over the years and observing all of these things reminds me how glad and fortunate i left when i did but i do find it responsible to others to expose this religious cult to what can happen to people who get involved with it and that's what i've been doing on this forum and elsewhere.

The WTS/JWs as an organization has to date killed thousands, broken apart millions of families, ruined marriages, indirectly caused numerous suicides which might now exceed the numbers who have died from refusing a blood transfusion (?) , all orchestrated by false doctrines created by corrupt religoius charlatans running their own unregulated publishing house.

If those reasons dont compel you to leave probably nothing will.

Double Standards of the Watchtower

by Vanderhoven7 in

are you aware of any double standards promoted by the organization of jehovah's witnesses?

here a a few i am aware of:.

1. the wts equated joining the ymca with apostasy but felt free to join the un for 10 years (1991-2001).

Finkelstein

How about calling other Christian faiths false religion yet the JWS organization is run by commercialized false prophets running a publishing house, who have enacted themselves as sinning unrighteous apostates. ?

One thing to keep in mind is that because of the late 1800's preachers and charlatans such C T Russell who started the IBSA as an organization of Christian literature proselytizers, built the ground work for the WTS and the following men who got a hold of it who subsequent built up their own power base.

That self identifying power grew from and expanded by the self recognition as the anointed ones and the FDSL .

The reality is these men were just opportunistic sinning false prophet apostates who just happen to express their theology through the literature they published and proliferated and that is why the JWS religion to this day is wrought with imposing fear, ignorance and corruption.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely

Myself being a born in and completely out for more than 30 years I see more of the damage of what this religious cult causes people .

Part of myself leaving had to do with the psychological harm it was causing people back in the 1970's, one guy my age at the time hung himself out anxiety and depression.

The numerous suicides that have occurred in numbers is shocking to say the least.

Then there is the many families breaking up.

Marriages breaking apart because one member decides to leave the JWS.

The deaths of members or their children from refusing a blood transfusion.

This hit me personally when my mother refused a BT when she was ill in the hospital and died.

Over the years and observing all of these things reminds me how glad and fortunate I left when I did but I do find it responsible to others to expose this religious cult to what can happen to people who get involved with it and that's what I've been doing on this forum and elsewhere.
