  Org Is RACIST! Towards Sisters Of COLOR In Particular--IMO!

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i'm sorry--i'm getting this very sensitive vibe that the org (mainly those at the top) don't have any respect--forget about love--for sisters of color.

  i'm coming to this conclusion from a couple of videos on jw broadcasting about single sisters.. after watching this video: .

  If females of colour didn't feature in WT videos would that be racist too?

  Mrs C and I had a lovely evening with Azor and 88JM. Great to meet them both and enjoy some nice food at the Stable Bar. Both really interesting people who have given up a lot in exchange for freedom.

  Hopefully catch up with Scotsman, HOTB, NSWTG and others in the near future.

  study guide - A godly view of life (not your view)

  by TheWonderofYou in

  i just had to note that a comment for a later deeper thought that i found on a network.. is this a clean forum?

  because i seems that there critics and active mixed, what would be very dangerous.. "this study guide will not only help you to explore your beliefs regarding blood transfusions and the use of blood, but also help you to explain your beliefs to others.".

  what is that...explore your beliefs ....what is that?

  "This study guide will not only help you to explore your beliefs regarding blood transfusions

  This will help a JW explore their beliefs regarding blood transfusions. Of course they are prohibited from reading it.

  Since no one knows how we got here, why we are here, and how long we will be here, one persons guess is as good as another's.

  We do know the answer to the first of those questions - all life evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years.

  The second one isn't a sensible question - there is no "why"?

  The third is an open question.

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ..........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.
