  The Watchtower had their liscence to broadcast pulled in 1928 because the Saskatoon watchtower radio station sold air time to the Klu Klux Klan and got involved in a defamation suit.

  There are only 4 ways to leave the Jehovah's Witnesses

  by new boy in

  2. friends

  there are only four ways of leaving the jehovah’s witnesses.

  so there are four ways that could lead to shunning.

  i say “could” because options three and four has some loopholes.

  2. bible

  watchtower november 2017, page 10, paragraph 8 - "today, a christian guilty of serious sin needs to seek the help of congregation elders to recover.

  ) why is this so important?

  first, the arrangement for elders to handle cases of serious sin comes from jehovah, (2nd lie!

  ever see brother ugly who is 86 being taken to the doctor by sister frigid who is 65 and also not good looking?

  they have to have a chaperone or at least sit in back and front seats.

  or a man who can't bring the freezing daughter in the house when he stopped briefly by because hubby is not home.

  I have a female secretary. Sometimes we are in the office together by ourselves. Sometimes in the evenings and on weekends too. No romp in the supply room yet.

  Watchtower policy makers have a vivid imagination me thinks.

  This convention talk offended me

  by Isambard Crater in

  here are my notes from the r.c yesterday, the talk called "jehovah – the greatest example of endurance".

  many of you will understand why i found it offensive.. jehovah has taken the hard option of choosing to endure:.

  reproach to his holy name.

  JWs shunning other active JWs

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many others have noticed how common it is for active jws to ostracize and shun other active jws?

  as far back as i can recall, jws have had an ongoing problem with cliques within congregations, and special needs talks would be given from time to time to address that trend.

  but, it seems to me that the practice has become even more pronounced with entire congregations actively shunning other congregations.

  Do You Ever Think Of ALL The Wasted Time Because You Were a JW?

  by minimus in

  the longer you are out the more you see how a cult steals all your time, resources and energy.

  we wasted so much because we were witnesses!

  I don't look at it as wasted time. Yes I used up a lot of time in the past as a jw but I would have used the time anyway.

  Because of my jw upbringing I

  don't smoke cigarettes

  have developed a solid work ethic

  have the ability to deal with the public

  This can be argued that if I wasn't a jw I might be doing these things anyway. That is true. No one can choose where they are born or what their religious upbringing is.

  because of my jw upbringing I

  didn't attend university thus not earning a degree( in my case it doesn't matter because my trade is so specialized they don't teach it in trade schools thus there is a shortage of qualified people in my field driving up wages much higher than most university graduates earn . If that matters anyway . You have to love what you are doing the money is secondary)

  never dated anyone other than my wife( been married 30 years!)

  never experimented with drugs until later in life(mj is not what they say it is so I didn't miss out on much )

  Did I waste time as a jw? Yup

  Would I have wasted time as a non jw? yup

  Does it matter and does anyone care? Nope
