that video looks like some cheezeballs from the 70s time travelled. actually it would make sense if they time travelled from 1976 ;)

perhaps look at it this way:
JWs were never part of the united nations - they routinely co-operate with "worldly" government. It doesnt mean they are part of it.
Jesus christ now we have "truthers" detracting from REAL criticizm of the WTBTS

a bunch of badly dressed people show up, with huge beards (likely trying too hard to be un-witnesslike) screaming and yelling at people 2 feet away from them, somehow their bad breath fills the open air, even more apparent than their retarded message.
All i could think was "jesus, get a life"
now, i think the same thing, and i feel they are a detriment to any real opposition to the practices of the WTBTS...

Relapse: I'm considering returning to the Kingdom Hall.
by Blue Grass ini'm a long time lurking of this site(2 years) and a first time poster.
to provide a little background of myself i was not raised as a witness but started studying when i was 19 and got baptized at age 21. a few months after i was baptized i left due to the constant worship of the faithful and discreet slave and the lack of emphasis on christ.
for reasons i'm not sure about yet i decided to attend the district convention last week.

I think you should become a bit more educated about many of the fallacies the witnesses believe in - and i dont mean doctrinally (as i believe they have most of this right), i meant the ATTITUDE, before you get back into it, this was if you do get into it, you will at least be a step ahead, and be AWARE of certain things.
why cant a guy and a girl be alone in a car?
why make such a big deal about michael = jesus when the evidence is flimsy (even though understandable)?
just a couple ;)

JW Ministerial Servant and Elder caught lying on youtube...
by Tuesday inhere's a set of youtube videos where propoganda techniques asks a ministerial servant and an elder about various jw related things and catches them lying about the book pay attention to yourselves and the flock.
the reaction of the elder is a must-see when he's confronted with what he said.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5odp3qa6oeo.

there are alot of things to criticize the WTBS but this video was pathetic. his other ones dont inspire anything that great either.
this actually kinda showed the INDIVIDUAL witnesses being nice and reasonable.
I didnt see them "lying" - they might be brainwashed but the elders book ISNT secret, everyone knows about it. Its just private, as mentioned. THe pioneer book is private too, no? Although i dont understand why you cant see it if its just quotes from material we have - i have heard elders say its because they normally write somewhat private notes in it.
oh well, this guy is a douchebag.

The "They Are Imperfect" Excuse
by LouBelle indoesn't it just make you sick to your stomach?.
dozens of doctrine changes that effect the lives of the rank and file: the fds are only imperfect men and didn't understand the bible truths at the time.. pedophiles that are protected or not reported and allowed to stay in the congregation: these men are imperfect and this sin isn't unique to jws.
the organisation has it's problems just like any other...they are not perfect after all.. all their prophesies - failed: the fds are only imperfect men and have never claimed to be a prophet.. i am truly sick of this overused excuse.

im sorry, i do not follow their teachings anymore, so, any changes they make are irrelevant to me. The society as a whole is irrelevant to me.
They came a long way, but they are continuing down a bad road.

Name of this site
by Newborn inshouldn't this site really be called "ex jw" instead or something like that??
(in my country the eqivalent site is called "the support source").. isn't the name a bit misleading since most of us aren't jws anymore and doesn't want anything to do with them?.
just my thought.

mraimondi
more proof, thanks.
a Pro-JW board? where people are bound to spouting the society's party line, totally cut off from dissenting opinion?
yes, lovely.
how about just being reasonable?

its M Raimondi, thanks.
do realize what you are falling into? You are just trying to lump me in with someone else, label me, not any different than the WTBTS labelling US as apostates or unrepentant sinners.
you attempt to strip away my individuality and make my opinion less relevant by merging me with someone you view as a "troll" simply because i have a viewpoint different than your own.
thanks for proving my point.
Considering she seems to be from the UK, i think you would find our IP addresses much different, thank you.
