  Do You Think Jehovah’s Witnesses Are A Threat To Any Government?

  by minimus in

  russia believes they are a threat.

  the usa has put witnesses in jail in the past.

  other countries look at jws as a nuisance.. do you think the witnesses are a threat to governments?

  Not a threat in the least. The best they can do is be an innocuous annoyance in the public sense....on a personal level it is emotional and mental abuse...but victims allow that to occur unwittingly....

  letters are being read in surrounding circuits and congregations.

  If there an angle they can line their pockets, they'll find it and exploit it. And sniveling creeps make the lemmings think they're getting a deal. We always booked rooms wherever we wanted....one place in particular was banned but we stayed there anyway...subsequent years it was back in the list...we booked and got a lower rate than the WT rate as we were regulars. Then we quit conventions forever.

  the bible stories, convoluted as they are, even more pretzelled by wt.

  Ayiyi...I remember those convoluted explanations of that rich man and Lazarus one. They never made any sense.....like a lot of other things.....esp that red revelation book. Flights of fancy....

  here are some excerpts of a man who was called on by 2 young female jws, received a not-at-home letter as well, and what he thought about them.

  i encourage you to read the whole thing, it is worth the laugh.. "it wasn’t pompeo knocking but he would have beamed approval on the two young women on the doorstep.

  Good manners and respect for others is not part of the package. Its all about force feeding their own religious fallacies to anyone and everyone. Even when hostage in the cult I always abhorred that part of it....

  What happens to Bethelites?

  by rickroll in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so if someone puts their life into serving the cult for free at bethel, then say after 25 or 30 years they are not able to for one reason or another such as illness, or family issue or old age, does the cult have any safety net for these people or is it you serve until you can't and when you can't you just go away?

  The downside of being a glorious bethelite. And if there is no loving family the person is really screwed. Likely low to no viable employment skills in the real world....no money or savings to tide one over until they get settled.... I recall many young men who did the back then 4 year stint to come out disillusioned and bitter....
