there's gotta be a reason, and there's nothing to fear.
its the same difference when people are told not to talk to "apostates" or read their websites... etc
theres nothing to fear....

Family Members Going Back to the JW's- Terrible News.
by OnTheWayOut ini may have described the players in this story long ago, and changed the details to hide who i am.. i don't really worry about it anymore, and i don't want to look back over two years to see if i changed the details.
the following is true, and the sex and age and situation of each person is pretty accurate despite any details seeming different from before:.
my nephew is 14 years old, he's my wife's sister's boy.

JW urban legends
by kurtbethel ini scraped these off of a jw message group, and they are too over the top to not pass along.
it is interesting to see that jws pass along these yarns just as their worldly friends do.
most of them have that vague "friend of a friend" quality that urban legends are well know for having.

sorry, anyone who believed this shit as a witness was a fucking moron.
i was a witness long enough - and the whole time when i heard stuff like this it was, ok... whatever. If i didnt see it or personally experience it, and it wasnt in the bible, it could go fuck itself.

Clarifying the Trinity Doctrine
by UnDisfellowshipped insince there is so much confusion among ex-jw's, jw's, and christians in general about exactly what the trinity doctrine is, i decided to post this to clarify this teaching.. the historical trinity doctrine of the christian (protestant and catholic) churches has always been this:.
* there is only one true god by nature.. * there are three distinct persons who share equally the nature of god.. * there are not three different gods (that is the false doctrine of tritheism or polytheism).. * there is not one person who is revealed three different ways (that is the false doctrine of modalism).. * however, each person of the trinity does have his own "role" or "function.
" the son willingly obeys the father.

the trinity doctrine is a ridiculous attempt to infuse paganism into "christianity" and it worked.
just because the fuckin JW cult got it right (after many other people did the legwork for them) doesnt mean the trinity is ok now.

Watchtower policy on child abuse...link to watchtower.org
by digderidoo inthis is terrible.
i stumbled across it whilst searching watchtower.org for their 'new light' on the faithful and discreet slave.. it seems to be instructions from 1995 as to how to deal with an accusation of child abuse, i have bolded the parts i found sickening.
when the samaritan came along, his heart went out to the wounded man.

$6,600 Expenses For a One-Day Assembly At a Fully-Paid-Up Hall? WTF!
by Room 215 inthe wife just got back from a one-day special circuit meeting (or whatever they call it) at the regional assembly hall.
it's got a capacity of about 1,200, fully paid for, staffed by volunteers and in use for less than eight hours.
then the guy making the announcement tells the crowd that the one-day expenses for the gig was about $6,600 (?!!!)...

you can rack up 6k in operating expenses quite quickly for any organization.
not to mention that hall is waiting around most of the year for people to come.
i think this is shortsightedness on your part, not corruption on theirs.

iirc,
if you believe
witnesses believe that angels are indeed active and can help them in the ministry and in other aspects of their lives.
just probably not in the same way as more "new agey" type of "christians"
you know, bullshit.
