  Questions for JDubs to think about

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is it reasonable to have an invisible friend whom you have never seen and yet you talk to this invisible friend several times a day even though the friend has never talked back to you?.

  is it reasonable for you to give your life to this invisible friend because a group of 8 men says that if you don't you won't live forever?.

  do you thank your invisible friend every day for the food that he gives you, yet he doesn't give food to over 27,000 people a day who die the terrible death of starvation.

  Do you thank your invisible friend every day for the food that he gives you, yet he doesn't give food to over 27,000 people a day who die the terrible death of starvation. (10,000,000 per year die of starvation)

  Would you still go in service if you didn't have to count time?

  Can you admit to yourself that the Watchtower Company has made numerous mistake about when the end was coming? Just a hint... think about 1914, 1925, and 1975.

  Why doesn't the Watchtower ever show the inside of the pretty houses in Paradise? What won't there be that we now have?

  In paradise, if everyone is perfect and you want to play some baseball, will it be any fun to be the batter and never hit the ball thrown by a perfect pitcher with the perfect curveball. How much fun will it be to play basketball and never miss a basket?

  The Bible book of Acts says that we are to abstain from blood but JDubs are allowed to take into their bodies blood fractions that make up the blood. Is that like saying we can't eat peach pie; however, we can eat peaches, sugar, flour, eggs, and butter?

  If you truly believe that everyone who isn't a JDub is going to die soon at the hands of God and you know how to save their life's, would you let these people walk by you while you are counting time for preaching without saying a word to them?

  Can You Make Sense Of Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a child growing up, i would see different arguments to defend a certain belief.

  it may have required mental gymnastics in order to make a point but there was an actual attempt to explain, teach, and educate....even if the belief or teaching was bogus.. nowadays, it appears that jws couldn’t explain any belief.

  they are drones and do as “mother “ has directed..

  Because JDubs are high on Watchtower cocaine, their brains have turned into split pea soup with no ability to look or think about anything in a critical way. The Borg is 100% happy with Watchtower bobblehead zombies.

  You might be a Jehovah's Witness if.......

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you might be a jehovah's witness if, to not feel guilty on saturday morning, you ride in a car with a group of adults driving in circles around town taking turns to get out one at a time to knock on a door that you hoped no one would answer.. you might be a jw if going on vacation meant going to a summer regional or district assembly where you did not need to pack shorts, tennis shoes, or tank tops.

  .

  you might be a jw if for lunch at the summer convention you and your family ate breakfast food from the holiday inn where you are staying for the summer assembly.. you might be a jw if the first thing that you think about when waking up in the morning is that it is meeting night.. you might be a jw if you introduce a person to another jw, not by the person's name by as my bible study.. you might be a jw if you don't celebrate christmas but will take the money from your employer to not come to work so that you can celebrate it..

  Craziest Speculations You’ve heard about the end and paradise

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we’ve all heard them all our life.

  my two biggest stupidest ones i think are, “ we can really tell the end is almost here with the way people drive on the highway.” and a girl who said she wants to hurry up and marry her boyfriend because she’s scared if the end comes before their married, she’ll have to wait 1000 years to marry him.

  oh and also a poor old lady saying that she hopes jehovah wipes away the memory of her disfellowshipped sons that he will have to destroy.

  J.W's Brain LOCKDOWN

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know we often talk of the mind control and how jw's believe what they are taught because they are controlled as to the information they receive, but i think the mind control goes frighteningly beyond simply keeping information away from them.. the jw mind is in lockdown.

  it simply cannot accept facts, evidence, reasoning or whatever that goes against what they believe.

  they cannot assimilate and consider an argument, it is not that they are being awkward, or willfully blind, their minds are so shut down they are incapable of taking in what is being presented.. i am aware of how, in common with other cults and high control groups the j.w org achieves this state among its members, but how on earth do we open such a solidly closed mind ?.

  All you have to do is watch the cart crashing video. Once the JDubs spot the apostate they won't greet, look at, talk or answer simple questions even though other people are watching what is going on. The JDubs behavior is so unchristian. Jesus did not back down from the scribes and Pharisees. Jesus had the truth whereas the JDubs have a nice bag of steamy shit freshly cast by the 8 popes to base their life's and believes on.

  Two big points that need to be emphasized in JDub pedophile discussions

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i love watching the jw cart crashers on youtube and how the zombie, brain dead, we are so much better than you jdubs react.

  when they do talk a little about the two witness rule they will mention the need for proof and the testimony of the poor child is just not enough to take the inquiry any further.. the reason for calling the police is immediately is that dna can be gathered from the poor victim.

  this evidence is the second witness used for prosecution.

  The reason for calling the police is immediately is that DNA can be gathered from the poor victim. This evidence is the second witness used for prosecution. The elders will first call the Headquarter's legal department for direction and then set up some meeting with the victim on a nonmeeting night. Valuable time has been lost for DNA collection. The Witlesses don't want a second witness and want to sweep this under the rug to avoid bad press.

  The second thing is that if the JDub pedophile confesses and is disfellowshipped and the police are not involved, the Witlesses have knowledge of a pedophile that is now free to take advantage of other "worldly" children and become his next victims. I guess the Witnesses reason that is not our problem and the children are going to die soon anyhow by the loving God Jehovah. Even when a pedophile has been disfellowshipped and wants to return to the Borg, the congregation is not even made aware that a pedophile is in their midst.

  The JDubs are one crazy, godless, cold-hearted cult.

  2018 Courage Convention video invitation

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.

  i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.

  next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.
