  How miserable are Witless Kids REALLY?

  by hamsterbait in

  2. friends

  25 years ago i lived in an apartment overlooking the grounds of the local high school.. at the time i still totally believed the lie.

  a lot of the dub students went to my hell.. i noticed looking out my window, that the witless kids always looked miserable and isolated.

  yet in the kingdumb hell they would behave almost euphorically.. what was going on?.

  Which Websites Helped You Leave the WT?

  by FreudianSlip in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the website that finally opened my eyes to the wt's lies was this one: http://www.towerwatch.com/testimonies/judicial_committee_meeting.htm.

  it is an excellent read.

  i even wrote to the guy, james caputo, to show appreciation for his courage to post his story on the www all those years ago when there weren't yet a ton of ex-jw sites.

  The Cult of "El", paganism in bible? Saturn=Satan?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  would appreciate any additional help and research into this.

  if any of you have researched this at all would appreciate your findings and conclusions.

  do not want to stumble anyone, so just be warned this could do that if you believe at the very least the english translations of the bible are pure.

  Are JWs attracting more and more off-center people?

  by undercover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this thread is prompted by the thread about a jw woman who disprupted a funeral.

  i don't know the details as i can't view youtube from work, but it did get me to thinking.... over the last couple of decades, at least, i've noticed that more and more 'fringe personalities', for a lack of a better term, have infiltrated the ranks of the everyday jws.

  true, jws are themselves a fringe element to normal society, but even within their own communities, there used to be a sense of normalcy, or at least seemed to be.. has the cultic message of the wt society started attracting people with different thought processes over this time period?

  Gideon--He Questioned Jehovah

  by sd-7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is common, as a thought-stopping mechanism amongst jehovah's witnesses, to use phrases like "don't question jehovah" or "don't question the organization".

  often, as evidenced in a recent watchtower study article, biblical examples are given like that of diotrephes, who opposed john in the first century, or korah, dathan, and abiram, who questioned moses' authority and were barbecued in the wilderness.

  these are pointed to as examples of those who questioned jehovah and suffered condemnation or even death as a result.

  Is the Governing Body really Jehovah's mouthpiece?

  by dgp in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  on another thread, african gb member wondered whether the members of the governing body really believe what they preach.

  and that led me to this thought:.

  unless i misunderstood what i have read, the governing body claims that jehovah communicates with them and tells them what to do.
