I Don't Get It!

by John Aquila in

there are literally about thirty young single very good looking sisters in this one kingdom hall under the age of 30. that is just one kingdom hall.

in the circuit there are literally hundreds of young beautiful jw girls under 30 who are single and anxious to get married.

about two years ago, this one single good looking brother who is about 30 years old and who is an elder married this plain looking sister who is 59 years old.

That's not the normal makeup of a hall. Most have 100 pubs max, of which 60% are over 40 years old. The rest have families and there are a half dozen or so that may be on the prowl to get married. Usually half of those are socially awkward or beaten with the ugly stick so they "pioneer" in order to attract an equally ugly/dorky JW male.

So we are down to 3 or 4 decent lookers. Most of those are still getting married between 18-22, simply so they can have sex. JW land doesn't change.

Why is the Governing Body pushing the very young(5-12 year old) into getting baptized into subservience to the Corporation?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i think a very simple reason may be because the very young are pretty much the only ones naive enough to take the plunge these days.

with the internet available to inform people about the deceptive lies printed by the wt corporation it seems that they are getting their member from the less informed population like the elderly and the very young.

they/gb hate higher education because they loose members who get one and so they are focusing on those that are dumb enough to believe their boogie man bull shit about jehovah choosing their corporation and anybody not a part of it he will destroyed at armageddon.. also we need to consider that they view these young people as a potential free labor source so the sooner you get them hooked into baptism with the threat of disfellowshipping you can get more free labor out of them..

Kids are trusting, they don't believe their parents would ever lie to them. So they see how happy it makes mom and dad if they dedicate their live to Jehoobie and they go ahead and take the plunge.

The WT society is consciously pushing this effort to trap children into a lifetime contract with the cult. If they effectively suppress the normal thinking and exploration that happens as a teenager and young adult, they have a servant for many decades, if not forever. They effectively pair this policy with their evil shunning doctrine, making the emotional pain of leaving intense for any person who contemplates doing so.

And the primary reason for doing it is because they have seen how poor their retention rate is over the past 30 years.

Its evil. They are emotionally enslaving little kids so their cult will survive. Dickheads.

Back in the Basement

by LostGeneration in

looks like the faithful jws are back in the basement, the oct 15th wt has this image on page 9. but now the lights have been turned out!

i guess the persecution is really kicking in if the electric company has shut off their electricity, or the jws are really, really paranoid that the government is gonna get them if they have the lights on!.

only one guy is smart enough to use his tablet (far right), the rest of the jws are old school, using a lantern to read their bibles in the dark!

Poor kid, he looks bored as hell.

Songs celebrating leaving the faith? Not being a puppet, mind controlled, living life, etc etc

by aley63 in

i am looking for some songs that are in ref to celebrating leaving, seeing the light, realizing what you were told wasnt right, being happy w your life, etc etc.

all those emotions about being controlled and repressed, being told what you can feel or think or how to live, blindly following the "brotherhood ".

Why Jehovah Does Not Want An Effective Preaching Work

by konceptual99 in

so we all know how ineffectual the preaching work really is.

we also know how much the wts hypes up the scope and scale of the global preaching effort.

what the gb should be doing however is emphasising the ineffectiveness of the preaching work.

LostGeneration

Haha great post!

Amazing to think about some modern companies like Google, Facebook, Apple who touch the lives of billions in just a few decades. Never thought about it in those terms before.

I try not to think about WT claims of God given authority anymore, if not so laughable it makes my head just hurt.

Email?

by QuestioningHere in

i have read all the rules and terms of service etc before asking this, and there was also a topic about it from five months ago so i figure it's ok. i'm not sure with subject area it was supposed to go in, so i went in the watchtower one seeing as that's what it's about, but please correct me if i'm wrong as i don't want to break any rules accidently.

i was also unsure if i could post on that thread seeing as it's an old one.. has anyone had any success trying to get hold of the jw.org email(s)?

i would like to contact them about some questions i have but they seem to not have one, and i'm too nervous to ring a phone number they have in case someone recognised me.

LostGeneration

So you are not a witness? Most of us here are ex JWs, but yes you have to be very careful how you approach a fully believing witness with questions that are difficult for them.

If you fill us in on you situation there are a lot of smart people here willing to help you out.

Information flows one way from on high, that is from God's Organization. They said a few years back, quit bothering us with your idiotic questions.

Dozens have written HQ over the years. Usually the response is crickets. Sometimes the letter makes it back to the local congo with instructions to muzzle the "troublemaker".

Honestly you will get better answers here than from God's handpicked mouthpiece.

Welcome to the forum.

Why don’t we have a better story?

by iconoclastic in

1. some say we are all gods, and god is omnipresent..

2. some say: god created his children who later challenged his sovereignty, who in turn asked his eldest son: go down to the world, do not resist the wicked, but be murdered by them, the value of which will be used to atone the sins of the world..

3. universe arose out of a big bang.

What is your "story", please share with us your evidence.
