The tale of Angelo and Dan! Have you heard this one??

by DATA-DOG in

long story, short; angelo was bad, he went to prison.

dan was bad, he went to prison too.

dan became a dub and studied with angelo.

LostGeneration

Maybe its true, maybe not. As much time as they waste in prisons with a truly captive audience, there are bound to be converts.

In the end, a person has to ask themselves "What does this mean or prove to me?" For the average JW, its simply another proof that they are in da troof. For the 7 billion humans functioning outside of the walls of the b0rg, its just a silly anecdote.

Conversions to any number of religions happen every day by the thousands, if not tens of thousands. JWs are small fish in a giant ocean.

Your favourite WTS publication?

by LoveUniHateExams in

i realise that starting this thread may make me as popular as a ginger stepchild but was there any wts publication that you liked, or at least comfortably tolerated?.

my memory may be deceiving me but i think the greatest man book was pretty good, leaving out the gruesome detail of the crucifixtion and wts doctrine.. also, can anyone tell me the list of books that ray franz authored/co-authored?.

thanks.

Revelation Climax at Hand wins simply because of the millions of masturbation jokes it has inspired.

by DATA-DOG in

imagine my delight!.

Whatcha smokin' there Data, you in one of those 'legal' states??? LOL.

Really thought, its like the idiots who sell an imprint of Jesus on some toast. You can literally find something in almost any illustration.

Why do "Apostates/exjws" always go into "Watchtower-bashing" when you show them inconsistencies in the Bible?

by booker-t in

i have noticed with "apostates/exjws" they always resort to "watchtower-bashing" whenever you show them inconsistencies of the bible.

we could be talking about contradictions, such as where did cain get his wife if adam,eve, abel, and cain were the only ones on earth?

the usual answer when they cannot answer will be "well the wt gave false prophecies in 1975".

I noticed some time ago Booker loves to start threads and never return to comment again on them. Looks like steve was able to at least squeeze one response out of him this time based on his prior comment.

What really woke me up: I started noticing most JWS are weirdos..

by kneehighmiah in

thankfully my parents are converts so they aren't wierd.

seemed pretty popular by all accounts.

they are "popular" jws even now.

LostGeneration

Agree with sparrow, I think a lot of it has to do with the pressure cooker of JW life combined with the fact that JWs are fenced off from any other viewpoints by constant association with each other.

Do that for 30,40 or 50 years and you start to develop a lot of people who are completely disconnected from reality.

Why do "Awake" vloumes only start at 1970 on computer disk?...interesting!

by Witness 007 in

yet watchtowers go way back to 1950's....i picked up three awake volumes 1967-1969 i was struck by the poor science {aluminium is posion}, demon articles and anti-organ transplant articles.

also much was said about 1975 being the end of the system and "the generation.

" it feels like fred franz was writting alot of these which now is plain embarrasing and better left un-published.. .

LostGeneration

Lotsa crazy ass shit in those Awakes, especially the "face the fact that you will never grow old in this system of things" tirade in 1969.

Is shunning an expression of love or just a place for the shunner to hide?

by cha ching in

to three people in my family, disfellowshipping / shunning is just a tool the wtbs uses to hide what really happened.... they don't want people to 'see behind the curtain.'.

.

LostGeneration

Shunning is simply 'Information Control' in the cult. They don't want the troops to know what somebody did, only that they did something against the rules.

The fact that they changed the rules in 1981 to never let anyone DA without the penalty of shunning shows they had something huge to hide from every single Jehovah's Witness.

did any of you guys sit down and read this??

it's long but i assure you it's a great read.. .

LostGeneration

Ditto what truthseeker notes, basically he was who WT put forward to explain WTF they are doing up there in the service dept. If you read some of the docs you see that WT attorneys fight tooth and nail to keep Losch out of the mix, and hang this guy out to dry.

In the end Losch dodges like the coward he is.
