thinking back when i was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why i believed jws are the true religion.
1. they show love among themselves by not going to war.
not killing your fellow believers in any circumstances, including war, would seem to be a very basic requirement for true christianity.
And born ins whether its 2nd gen,,3rd.gen 4th or whatever,,,,thats all they know
Its forced upon them. The craziness is passed on to them from infancy
They're forced into a mindset of beliefs with the only information they have at the time. No choice.

Each & every single JW has the ability to develop critical thinking skills,,destroy their JW induced trance & put their indoctrination to bed.
JWs who were victimized or fell prey to the borg were caught & influenced by red herring & straw man arguments.
The born ins had/ have no choice. That is why child indoctrination is so evil. Children cannot apply critical thinking skills. They believe they are doing whats required of them,, thats all they know,,,,thats all they believe.
Whether or not JWs want to develop critical thinking & destroy straw man arguments & overcome their JW indoctrination,,,, its totally up to them.

Me too. I agree with the 10 items.
These are the things which ""rope people in"" to the Borg.
calamity howling is always in style with some folks, every year.
1974 was 50 years ago this year!
i was fresh out of high school bright eyed and earnest about all things jw and watchtower.

This is where critical thinking skills,,,come in to play !!
say it ain’t so!
.
in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?
TonusOH:
They always exclaim ""putting up a hard fight for the 'truth' ""
Something like that.
Blondie I think so.

This whole thing if it comes to fruition is nothing more than moving ""the goalposts".
new to the forum.
i have a question i did not get any feed back for on another site.
what to these people who gave decades working for free in bethel when they are 60 plus years old.
I always felt like a piss-on being in the Borg in comparison to pioneers,, ministerial servants eldubs or elders wives or whoever......circuit overseers & their wives whoever.....
Maybe its because of my practical approach to life. Like that of having a job with benefits,, mortgage & I pay my own utilities & bills.
Unlike some others who have had all these things done for them. Then left high & dry later in life when they are no longer of use & left for the dogs.

Think of it for a second. There are rumblings of even more reduced meetings.
They can sell the assembly halls & have the congregations share one local KH.
Have one meeting per week per congregation. That way if there are several congregations in an area they can have a meeting everyday if there are several congregations in that area.
Its just a business.
