  When You Were A Witness Did You Believe Everything Taught?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  obviously at some point you stopped believing the witnesses had the truth or else you wouldn’t be here.

  .

  but for the most part, were you a true believer or were you typically a rebel or a doubter?

  Yes, I believed it all and berated myself for not being able to live up to the standard the watchtower corporation expected.

  The health department wants to drag this out as long as they can. Now it’s variants of concern but if you call it by the country where it originated you are a racist.

  They need to have public firing squads. Make an example of these low life skids.

  Is the collateral damage acceptable? 2-4 % of convictions are overturned as being erroneous. Is it socially acceptable and beneficial to sacrifice a small percentage of innocent persons to protect the majority of law abiding Americans?

  They should hold a referendum on the subject and keep the names of those who support the idea. Every time an innocent person is proven beyond a doubt that they were wrongly executed, the government should pick a name of a death penalty supporter at random and execute that person.

  We have governments to thank for protecting their populations, as well financing and distributing the vaccines which is going to put their populations back to a state of normalcy.

  Is it valid to be overly critical and disrespectful for these people's objectives and endeavors ?

  Governments to thank???

  Who exactly do you think is going to pay for this mess? You and I. Where I live the response was bungled from day one. But what do you expect when our health minister is a graphic designer and our prime minister is a substitute teacher living off his wealthy families trust fund.

  source - march 2021 announcements - - https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5085868283920384/2021-march-147-english-german-announcements-reminders.

  this is a sobering reminder of what happened some 40 years ago when raymond franz and others were literally kicked out from the jehovah's witnesses for having pre-arranged private spiritual discussions.lesson: paragraph 7 is another example of the i and t in dr. steven hassan's bite model of the 21st century cult - information and thought control at its best!!!!

  "my gosh, there must be a lot of independent meetings these days.

  There will be herd immunity soon. Multiply the confirmed covid cases by 6(low) to 20(high) and you get the true number of infections. Vaccine uptake is steady. Covid will end soon and CNN will have to find some other disaster to sell to the gullible public.

  It’s a uniform. If you see someone dressed like a police officer chances are it’s the police. See 2 people at your door wearing suits “ mom, the Jehovahs are here.”

  Is there a renewed iemphasis on the "go bag" in the past mont or so?

  by nonjwspouse in

  my soon to be ex moved out over a year ago.

  he left most of his things here ( i guess he thinks of my house as his personal storage unit).

  one thing he left was his survival backpack, i assume his "go bag".

  Being prepared for an emergency is not necessarily a bad thing. Mrs Hoser and I are(we think) prepared for an emergency. Just look at what happened in Texas last week.

  The problem with the jw go bag is it is too Jim Jonesy. A while back we got an unexpected text on a Saturday morning to meet in the Kingdom Hall parking lot in one hour with our go bags. Most in the congregation complied. A little too culty for us.

  The jws are confusing disaster preparedness with the great tribulation. Weather and other events happen from time to time and we all should have a plan.
