  Does anybody know if the WTS, invests in the 2 companys of Lockheed Martin & Grumman Northrop, which are 2 of the biggest weapons suppliers?

  i read in another thread, where it said that the wts, has investments from stocks, with the companys of lockheed martin and grumman northrop.

  these are some of the biggest weapons suppliers to the us,uk, and israel.

  i would think it would be very hypocritical for a christian organisation, that claims to be nuetral, and to "learn war no more", to invest money in companys that produce weapons, that are used in wars.. is this true, though?

  Buddhism Anyone?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, i have recently been delving in buddhism and i must say it all makes sense!

  like, the philosophies and ideas are what i've always believed but could never put a name to.

  for example, they don't believe in god, they teach acceptance of all faiths, that peace can be achieved - not by changing other people - but by changing yourself, that everyone has goodness in themselves, that happiness can be gained internally (not externally as a gift from god), and that life is temporary so we should enjoy it!

  Are my children in danger of being indoctrinated if I let them spend the night with their JW family?

  by Butterflyleia85 in

  2. friends

  so... i'm writing because i have mixed feelings.

  keeping my kids safe is my goal... until they are old enough to understand and reason on their own.

  my mother gave me the tapes (that i gave her back in december) of combating mind control by steven hassan, saying that she didn't have a tape player... reminded me of three years ago when i gave her crisis of conscience by ray franz and she said it's to big book to read and she's not a reader.

  Fact: Your Life is trickling away or 936 Blobs...How many remain in your case?

  by BluePill2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have seriously been thinking about my life course (like any other human being) but especially in the light of past events and where i am standing now.

  my posts here show that i have (like most of us) still a good way to go until i have shredded every part of my cultish past.

  at one side it will always be part of who you are and why you are now thinking, behaving in a certain way on the other hand we have to let go.
