JWs view of Lord of the Rings VS Harry Potter
by serotonin_wraith in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm sure this will vary between jw to jw, but their choices are:.

1) they won't watch/read either.. 2) they will only allow lotr, not hp.. 3) they will only allow hp, not lotr.. 4) they will allow both.. in my experience, 3 never happens and 2 happens the most.

with the similar theme of magic, the occult, fantasy and monsters, i wonder what lets them think one is okay and the other is not.

What will you do to celebrate Oct 2 2014?
by jwfacts in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
like most people reading this, i was convinced that by 2014 the new system would 'definitely' have been operating for at least a decade.

now that i know this is not going to be the case i am going to have to think of some way to recognise 100 years of wts let downs and failed predictions.

there is no point fretting over the past so i think it will be a good time to celebrate.

Dating a JW info
by Lady Lee in
1. social
2. relationships
other than telling a person to run:what do you think a person (who knows nothing about the jws) needs to know if they are getting involved with a jw.what would be helpful to them to end things before they get further involved?what will help them if they decide to go further and marry this jw?what challenges would a non-jw woman have if she gets involved with the jw man?what about having children and the struggles that will develop from that?.

if you think of anything else that would be halpful please add it to the thread.

i would like to have a lot of this info in one thread besides some of the great "dating a jw" threads we already have in the best of section.

Charles T Russell -a freemason and the connection to the illuminati...
by dolphman in
1. jw
2. friends
ok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.

all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.

not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .

I'm So Disgusted................
by Mary in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
i'm absolutely disgusted as what the gb members are letting go on inside the organization with regards to pedophiles, but i guess it shouldn't come as any great surprise after all the other crap they've pulled over the years.. one can only assume that their sheer arrogance and/or stupidity in their "we can't do anything without two witnesses" policy, is a sign that they're either possessed or they're all getting collective alzheimers disease.......it's ridiculous to pretend that child abuse doesn't go on in the congregations - it goes on in every single religious organization on earth, simply because you have imperfect people in every single religious organization on earth.. if child molesters within the congregation were pursued with the same gusto and enthusiasm as those that buy lottery tickets or question doctrines, they'd be doing something.

one can only assume that none of the governing body members have any children (thank god!

) or they'd never come up with such a stupid policy.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses lie to recruits?
by jerome in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
first let me say this.. i have constantly been hearing of the legendary honesty/intergity of the jehovah's witness for some time now.

i have also been informed that they are the happiest people on the entire earth.. my problem is this:.

when a jehovah's witness comes to your door and you actually decide to give them a few moments of your time they never give the whole story as to what you would be getting involved with when you join the watchtower.. case in point.
