What have the Jehovah's witnesses achieved, under the direction of the watchtower society, in twice that time - apart from making the corporation billions of dollars???

NOTHING!! Worse than nothing, in fact. They've just impoverished generations of witnesses, spiritually, creatively, intellectually and financially.

Stan I actually like being married !--in fact--i'm rather good at it...having been married 4 times!

Practice makes perfect😂😜

Pistolpete Go ahead goingthruthemotions-----and vent all you want-----we're here to listen to your frustrations.

I'm with you on that one pistol Pete. We are here to support each other and if someone needs to vent, let them vent. It may be the only place it's safe for them to do so.

I'll also weigh in and say if you've been a dub all your life and you don't know the 1914 doctrine you've either got early stage dementia or you're being intentionally obtuse out of frustration. I've noticed something since I left - witnesses don't like being wrong!

Jehovah Witnesses lost in Court. Disfellowshipped Sister Reinstated by Court Order?

by pistolpete in

imagine the "faithful" jws who are now having to talk to this person by court order or face the consequences----legally.. exjws are spreading the news and now some exjws who have been disfellowshipped for years are starting to research to see if this is an option in their country.

here are the articles, you need to translate in google.

Well done!

Someone, probably correctly, said Watchtower will just drag it out and appeal to the ECHR claiming it contravenes their right to religious assembly among whomever they choose etc

I think they might. But I think taking a victim to court like that just helps further publicize their cruel shunning policy AND the fact that despite that, they still claim money from Satan's governments!

Have to say though, although Brigitte knocked the ball out of the park, the Muslim lass made a great comeback and you know what? I wish she *would* be head of the Muslim peace movement. Let's support her!

Why Is Nothing Being Done About Looters?

by minimus in

jw
friends

looting is happening everywhere like never before.

brazen thieves walk into stores and bring a bag with them and simply throw whatever they choose in the bag.

popular chain stores have closed in certain neighborhoods because it’s just not worth it.

Min I was a frequent visitor to nyc and now, there is no reason to go unless I want to possibly have a crime committed on me or near me. It’s like the wild Wild West!

New York used to have a fantastic reputation!

What's happened? Very sorry if that's all changed now it was a great city :(

I need some assistance here please

by bola in

i have just being reinstated back as a jw..

Diogenesister

Bola mentioned wifibandit because he was active when Bola joined. Bola a link is already on one of your threads. Go to your old posts and search. You already asked.

This way I don't annoy the old guard but Bola find's it.

Bola was baptised at 10, then reproved afterwards. Ridiculous. Probably in Africa somewhere. FYI he's young and lives at home. Not underage but that's irrelevant if you live somewhere that housing is either unavailable or prohibitive. For example housing in London is typically £800,000 for a house. Also if he's in Africa goodness knows what his circumstances are.

Those who live in the USA don't understand the housing problem in other parts of the world. When I see American 'Ghettos' they often look like palaces to me, garden, basement and all!!!! (How the people in those areas behave is another question!😬)

If you could pick out critical errors to the JWS religion what would it be ?

by Rocketman123 in

many that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.

somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".

Hi think it would depend who you were asking....another Christian, an agnostic, a Hindu or a Jew etc etc

I can only answer from a Christian or agnostic perspective, I think. The shunning is pretty shocking. It doesn't come off as Christian behaviour. The non charitable stuff was quite a stumbling block, too. Surely that's the main tenet of Christianity? The concept of preaching being such charitable love of neighbour you can only do that is a very weak argument.

It began because the colporteurs were basically book salesmen - it was essentially a job. Can you leave your job to go work in a soup kitchen? Usually not, hence the tradition of no charity in Watchtower. For people attracted by Christianity it's a H-U-G-E red flag.
