  Members of congregation know it’s not true

  by Mikejw in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we have lonely old folks and even some not so old.. they know the gb are not who they claim to be.. but they stay in the congregation because they are lonely.

  i wonder what percentage of jws this is the case, i would guess a lot.

  People stay in the Borg for decades due to the "sunk cost fallacy".

  And probably because of the community of friends it gives them.

  I will venture to say this.

  The Borg as we knew it before the internet age didn't expect the ""internet age".

  In the last 15 - 18 years a great "awakening" is taking place.

  The Borg never anticipated that.

  Up until about 2002-04 the Borg was thriving. After about 2006 the Borg was pooched with the internet. They're screwed.

  All you're going to hear someday is white noise coming from headquarters some day.

  The jws will attempt to to watch their jw broadcasting videos when they will only find ""no connection"" with that white spinning circle on their screens.

  Panic will ensue,,,they wont know what to do & will run around like chickens with their heads cut off.

  After years & years & years & years of having their thinking done for them.

  by Kosonen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i found a very interesting video by a jewish biblical scholar about how to correctly pronounce jehovah.

  it's not yahweh as other scholars claim.. https://youtu.be/4vgxmmbst8w?si=yq7ggwstkpnd3f18.

  just picked this summary up.

  "some of the key criticisms that have been raised about the jehovah's witness organization include:.

  strict control and authoritarianism: the organization is highly centralized, with major decisions being made by the governing body.

  unbaptized boy having priority over women

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking about the male children ( even unbaptized ) being placed ahead of the sisters.

  ; and i thought the jw were raising a bunch of misogynist.

  would these kids not feel more important than their mothers let alone other women.

  Free labor.

  That's the entire concept on retaining membership. Without this the Borg cant survive.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | august 2024. help for those who are removed from the congregation.

  14 does what we have considered mean that we would completely ignore a person who has been removed from the congregation?

  not necessarily.

  ....the Jehovah's Witness's religion would cease to exist if people are allowed to use their Christian consciences & allow critical thinking skills.

  They should always keep a cowboy hat ready in homes,, khs or wherever

  For the situation presents itself. For when a woman has to pray.
