How to Irritate JWs: The Catholic Way

by Hernandez in

what's the greatest advantage in becoming a roman catholic after leaving the jehovah's witnesses some 17 years ago?

why, it's the way it totally irritates people and really pushes their buttons...that is, if you are one of the unfortunate jehovah's witnesses who happens across my door during field service.

i have developed several techniques to make it very frustrating to the unwary witness who hopes to make headway at my house.

Steve Hassan. Can some one verify if this is true.

He's at the top of the game. Who else is has written books, actually been in a cult, and then has the educational credentials to back it all up?

If any of us put in that kind of work and were recognized as an "expert" and were at the very top of our game, we'd charge what the market would bear and not think twice about it.

Two Brothers Living Together - Never Dated Girls...

by pale.emperor in

in my old congregation there are two brothers (non related) who are in the early 30s.

they've never dated girls.

they're "best friends".

It makes you wonder if/when the WT powers will decide they need to "investigate" what exactly they think is going on.

12 It is good for us to consider the work that is involved in making sure that we receive this regular flow of healthy spiritual provisions. The Writing Committee of the Governing Body oversees the process of researching, writing, proofreading, illustrating, and translating our printed publications as well as material posted on our Web site. Printing branches ship literature to congregations near and far. Why is all this work done? So that Jehovah’s people are well-fed spiritually. (Isa. 65:13) May we be diligent in partaking of all the spiritual food we receive through Jehovah’s organization.—Ps. 119:27.

I need to know more on why its a problem for me dating a JW girl.

by seekinghelpp in

ok not to throw no shade or no disrespect to the jw religion.

which i truly do respect because my girlfriend is part of but i just don't understand, i have researched so much about it.

so much about how its discouraged for her to be with me just cause of different religion.

LostGeneration

Almost all ex JWs here. We all know its a cult and I can understand your frustration.

That being said, the almost universal advice given to people who come here looking for solutions to make it work is simply give it up and find a normal girl/guy. You won't want to hear it, because you are blinded by love, but in you are in for all kinds of headaches, disappointments, and in reality, massive pain and suffering if you insist on trying to force this relationship to work.

Much easier to break it off now and move on than later on.

Is The Time Coming Soon When We Can Sue The Watchtower Corporation For Damages From Mind Control And Bankrupt Them?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i think as we become a more enlightened society in the future we will be able to.i think laws of this nature may be in the works in some countries right now perhaps not addressing the actual mind control issue in those terms but laws to protect its subject from those that use those tactics to harm their people through fraudulent means.

so i think the wt hope for financial survival in the information age is very slim.

look at what spain, russia, are already doing.. but they may just go under financially from way sooner because of multple lawsuits and loss of charity status in one country after another..

LostGeneration

No. And I wouldn't want governments or the courts concerning themselves with nonsense like this anyway.

Is this the last chance for inactive and df'd ones?

by innerpeace in

hi all, just wondering if there's anything going around about the elders receiving instruction from the society to give inactive ones and disfellowshipped ones one last chance to come back?

i ask because i have a still in family member that i received a message from, and urging me to go back.

the elders are apparently saying there is no time left.

LostGeneration

One last chance before what, is the question. Before you really start shunning us? Sometimes I think these have to be the most delusional people walking the earth.

Dec 2016 study edition 'Setting your mind on the spirit.' WTF?

by Esse quam videri in

so the study article 'setting your mind on the spirit means life and peace.

' at paragraph 9 a little pictorial lecture for anyone setting their minds on the flesh.

brother fleshly minded talking about having a sailboat.

WT promotes materialism..on their terms. Do what we say and you can have it all, in the new system. New house, perfect family, boats, plenty of land if you want. All at the expense of everyone else being put to death. It promotes a lot of the sick mental conditions in JWs that we hear about.
