  Oh, to be a teenager again and try this out at the KH! That would be a great laugh. Can you imagine the counsel from the hounders?

  I am being slandered in public by a JW

  by kurtbethel in

  2. friends

  a self professed jw has slandered me in the comments section of a youtube video i have posted.. he has called me a "stupid apostate" and accused me of causing violence against jws, both of which are false slanderous lies.. i am not complaining about this as i am thick skinned and know to expect this sort of response from critics when i put my stuff out before the public.

  i am sharing this so that everyone can see an example of the sort of hateful behavior recent watchtower articles have spawned.. .

  Time for some "virtual" a**kicking!

  I agree that exposure to public opinion is good for JWs and bad for the WTB&TS.

  The Control is simply amazing

  at the kind advice of so many of you (and hassan) on this board....i ceased attempting to discuss doctrine/failures with my wife many months ago.

  but unfortunately that does not prevent her from grilling me from time to time.

  during one of our infamous "discussions" she said she was going to "investigate" this supposed "proof" that is out there regarding 587bc.

  as in Matthew 11:17

  'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.'

  some people just refuse to be moved by any amount of evidence.

  With most JWs whatever the WT says is the "Truth" no matter what evidence there is against it.

  Their eyes are blinded and their ears are stuffed up by the WT; they're under mind control.

  But if a new WT article comes out reversing a teaching 180 degrees they'll swear that's "the Truth".

  Breaking News from Steve Unthank - Police Launch Investigation into Traralgon Congregation

  by Broken Promises in

  2. scandals

  australia, breaking news: police launch investigation into the rape and molestation of a number of children with the traralgon congregation of jehovah's witnesses.

  jw news can report that victoria police have launched an investigation into the rape and molestation of a number of children within the traralgon congregation of jehovah's witnesses over the past two years.

  according to initial reports,... the body of elders were strictly ordered by the watchtower bible and tract society of australia to cover-up the multiple rapes of a number of children within the traralgon congregation allegedly committed by a fellow member of the jehovah's witness religion.

  Oh, how I wish this would blow up in the WTB&TS's face and cost them beaucoup bucks, and I mean beaucoup!

  Maybe even resulting in jail time for the hounders that covered up according to momma WT's instructions.

  Is this any way to get a convert??

  by tenyearsafter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have relayed how "broken" my mother is when it comes to reasoning on her beliefs as a jw...and my not believing the jw story any longer as an ex-jw.

  it seems to be a common story of cognitive dissonance, etc., etc,.

  now comes a classic new angle that really has me scratching my head.

  Hi TYA,

  your mom is suffering from WT mind control which excuses the duplicity in her personality.

  If you could get your wife to try and help your mom come to her senses then get a copy of "Captives of a Concept"

  http://www.captivesofaconcept.com/NewOrderInformation.html

  you can download it for $7

  Follow the steps to get your wife start a Study with your mom,
  your mom will be delighted, but use the suggestions in the book
  and have your wife give a witness to your mom about the WT's
  history by letting your mom be the teacher and your wife asking
  the questions from the CoaC book.

  If your wife is willing to do this, you may win your mom over.

  Shalom.

  a new one

  i'm still inside because of family, friends... all my life is there.

  i used to have doubts (one year ago) but now i only have certainties about the org.

  another reason for staying, at least for now, is i'm living at home with my jw mother and she allowed me to go to college.. i seem to everyone in the congregation a normal witness but when i sit down in the meetings i do know 99% what i listen to is just the same failed prophecies and doctrines repeated always in the same way.. i'm now being "persuaded" to accept my appointed as a ms. though i'm not doing nothing special to get it, i'm serving in a foreign language territory simply because i couldn't hold on with the pressure of my family and elders from my congregation.

  Hola HijosDeLaWatch,

  Mi experiencia es muy similar a la tuya. My experience is very much like yours.

  Por ahora, quedate adentro y conviertete en un espia si lo puedes aguantar.

  For now, stay inside and turn into a spy if you can stand it.

  Trata de siempre dar gloria a nuestro Salvador, Jesucristo.

  Always try to give glory to our Saviour Jesus Christ.

  Si tienes fe en que Jesus es el Cristo, Messias,

  tienes vida en ti y eres hijo de Dios no de la Watch.

  If you have faith that Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ,

  you have life in you and are a child of God not the WTB&TS.

  Cuidate mi hermano. Quedate con Cristo.

  LOL @Aussie Oz.

  You know that if anyone tried Tebowing at a Christendom church it seems nobody would bat an eyelash.

  But have it happen in a Kingdom Hall and all H*E*L*L would break loose, sending the hounders after the Tebowing perpetrators.

  Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't "all" Kingdom Halls insured by Momma WT herself?

  If so, betcha that if there was a chain of these throughout several places the WT would be going to the insurance companies real soon.

  Even then, the possible harm and threat to responders isn't worth the delight of seeing the ol' gal WTB&TS take the fall on a few hundred$ of thousand$.

  How big a fee does the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society get for booking Jehovah's Witnesses into Convention Hotels?

  For the CA and District Conventions, the WTS doesn't get a kickback in cash for the amount of rooms publishers rent.

  They do get a number of rooms free. So they need to meet a quota of booked rooms, once that's done they can have the DO, CO's and invited Bethel speakers, visiting Missionaries etc. stay for free.

  The discounts on rooms aren't that great compared with what some traveling salespeople and public sector workers can get through their employer's deals with big hotel/motel chains.
