when a religion
by ssn587 ini am wanting to know when the ibs became a religion, it my thought that up until awhile in the 1920s, the society was just a publishing company not hiding behind the idea of being a religion.
so when did they become one in actuality?
i know they claim that when jesus came in 1918 to judge all the religons he found them and appointed them as his fds in 1919. but really all nonsense aside, just when did they officially become a religion?.

Wish to debunk Witness God's Org Concept
by Luo bou to ini wish to reach my ex who is heavily entrenched in the org.
i intend to argue along these lines using the parable of the wheat and the weeds.
that jesus knows those that belong to him and today they are scattered throughout the different denominations of christendom.

It is very hard to convice a dub of anything really, they aren't allowed to use their brain, nor are they allowed to let their brain wonder about anything that is put out by them. You have to try and reach their with their style of thinking (none really) but they do have WT styple you know here is what we are saying and here is what you can think about it.
You also ask why is the WTBTS teaches that they the R&F and of course the "anointed remnant" (bs) are participating in a shephereding work when the parable plain and simply shows it will be the angels not people doing so. there is another way I found that works for opening up the mind even if it is for just a little while. I agree to something that is being taught then ask the spouse/ex-spouse whomever how you would explain this to someone when the bible doesn't point out the it will be people helping in the separating work.
good luck on whatever ever you try.

those attacking this man for stating his opinion are exact examples of those in the borg hierachy who attacks those with a different opinion than theirs. Foreigners chiming in on a strictly American problem should butt out. It's typical to attack those who disagree with you without attacking what they are saying with evidence. Saying people are driven by what is or isn't on TV or talk radio is nonsense. My brother in law was at one of those meetings and he is as pissed as hell and he has been a life long democrat and yes he is sorry as hell he voted for the facist leaning individual in office. My brother is astounded at the lack of transparency that was promised, the idealogues nominated to posts. the tax evader put in chage of the IRS, he is a died in the wool union man who has as he says always voted deomocrat. But now that is over he like many others want to know what the hell is going on.

Hear It For Yourself
by sammielee24 inthis is an interactive database of people around the world telling stories about their healthcare.
uk, australia, france, canada...people in a variety of systems - universal, social and single payer - talk about their experiences using their health care services.
people in the united states need to start listening to these stories instead of the media lies and political misrepresentations or ommissions of facts that only serve their needs...stop being afraid and start educating yourself for yourself.

Why is it when we don't want nationalized health care we are afraid on we are listening to lies. That is pure BS, my sister and bro both are nurses and they agree whole heartedly with not wanting nationalized health care. We don't want the effing govt running our health care. I don't want dirtball illegals getting any free health care either. Anyone showing up at an emergency room gets taken care of. If you want it, then by all means move to canada, europe etal and have at it. For me and mine no thanks.

JW's Value Position & Appearances over Displaying God's Qualities
by flipper inbefore some of the long time members here say to me " tell us something we don't know flipper " - please hear me out on this one.
some of the newly exiting jw's may not know this info - but need to be made aware of it.. as a young man i was raised in the cult jehovah's witnesses and remained from birth until age 44 .
i was never, ever asked by my elder father in all those years the question, " son, how is your relationship with jehovah doing ?

Leprechaun's comment about working being a priviledge is what got me, anytime they want you to work and especially for free they call it a priviledge. My aching rear its a priviledge. But you are all right about the ass kissing etal to get promoted to MS and elder. Appointed by HS no way the only spirit getting them the promotion is the holy spirit of ass kissing.
