  Hi hail mary welcome to the forum.

  Most of us here are ex-JWs whose contempt for the JW cult could not be greater.

  I'm sorry to hear your daughter has been taken in by the Watchtower. Don't give up hope, the organisation is facing a bit of a crisis and a lot of members are waking up. Be there for her without judgement if and when she is ready.

  J W Survey Article : Upcoming Assembly Encourages J W Youth to Lie About Homosexuality

  by BluesBrother in

  ..........however, it seems that this practice [theocratic warfare] is seeping more and more into regular witness life.

  in fact, one speech outline for the upcoming 2017 circuit assembly appears to directly encourage witnesses to lie to the general public about watchtower’s teachings on homosexuality............. http://jwsurvey.org/mind-control/upcoming-2017-jw-assembly-encourages-witness-youths-to-lie-about-homosexuality.

  nb this is a month old.. if it has been previously posted and i missed it, sorry .

  The Watchtower's foundational claim is that it is faithful to the bible. The bible unequivocally condemns homosexuality. Therefore the Watchtower condemns homosexuality.

  Their official statements are actually much more measured than many evangelical churches. The problem is that there are still people in the 21st century who think the bible is worthy of attention.

  How about The Stable Bar? I haven't been there personally but it seems to be a decent traditional pub serving decent food and beer. (Beware Scottish drink-drive laws are very strict)

  It would be an easy route for you from the area of your office on the south. If any locals have other suggestions please say so. Edited to add - Scotsman are you around this weekend?

  JW's and the forgotten Jesus

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so as i have been waking up more and more over the past 3 years...i keep telling myself i'm fully awake and then i wake up more, but that's a different thread.

  but anyway, i've noticed a lot lately that the wt does not mention jesus or christ very much in their literature and neither to jw's in their conversations.

  they mainly talk about jehovah.
