Disturbing/Puzzling Skit at JW Function Last Night Plus Odd Choice of Music

by Cadellin in

so i attended a fairly large jw gathering last night with my active, elder husband.

it was a good-by party for a former special pioneer couple who have been demoted to reg pios and have now moved to a larger city to find work.

anyway, there was music and skits.

...a very disturbing example of how this is a mind control cult.

If you get a chance, Amazon Prime has a documentary running now about the Children of God cult.... so many parallels with JW's......all cults..... just slightly different

My New Thoughts on Adam and Eve (don't laugh)

by xjwsrock in

warning for those that are still believers... this train of thought will not be faith strengthening.... i have come a long way since first stumbling on crumbs of ttatt in 2012.

(i have not come nearly as far with the wife unfortunately, but such is life.

) my critical thinking ability, thankfully, is in another stratosphere since figuring out i was a jw lab rat.

this is a quick experience i have recently had and i have two questions at the end.. a couple of weeks ago, the dogs were barking at the gate on saturday morning and wouldn't you know it, it was some witnesses.

there was a father with his lovely wife and their young daughter.

the father did all the talking as mother and daughter just dutifully smiled and watched.

90% of JW's don't know the difference between Moses and Noah.......almost none of them have even read the Bible.

Did you see the Royal Commission grilling of the GB member? He sounded dumb as a stump...... and HE is supposed to be Jesus brother......

LOL.....just typing it makes me laugh

Defining What is the Truth about the Truth of the Jehovah's Witnesses Religion

by Finkelstein in

in an endeavor to clearly define the truth about the truth of the jw religion, whats your personal perception of what you understand of how this religion came to be, in its inherit beginning and how it was able to sustain itself over the years ?

from my own perspective i think the strategic actions by its founding leaders to draw attention to their own published works such as the singular endeavors starting from c t russell and onward.

the self proposing recognition by people such as j rutherford, that god had specifically (1919) chosen " his " organization exclusively, is really where and when this assuming man made power began and continued to flourish.. but the real significant thing that created attention to the public's eyes and imagination was when both russell and rutherford proclaimed that christ had returned and he had started to divide and choose who was going to be saved from destruction and live on in a earthly paradise and who was to be killed at the soon to come day of judgement.

My thoughts:

The vast majority of JW's are so uneducated.....and most of it is by CHOICE....they love ignorance. It's comfortable for them. I think a great many subconsciously know it's all a lie.....but crave a sense of belonging. Therefore, the depression that runs rampant through the 'organization.'

It is nothing more than a semi-brilliant (all religions employ this methodology) pyramid scheme. It took off during an interesting time in human history, particularly the western world. It grew mostly among disadvantaged people.

Does anyone know the themes of this year's circuit and district conventions?

by mamacita29 in

i'm trying to get a jump ahead for my colleague.

i am making progress though and she is now willing to listen to logic.

logic and reasoning is like kryptonite to jw's.

"You wouldn't want to bring reproach on Jehovah's name, would you?"

by Esse quam videri in

what would be your reply?.

my reply: jehovah is big enough to take care of himself.. yours?.

Jehovah lets children be killed and die....and sexually assaulted.

I'd say he has done it to himself. You?

Quality of JW teaching from elders

by sir82 in

jw
friends

there was a recent thread on the "quality" of converts to jws in recent years.

it wasn't a pretty picture, based on the thread contents.. well, the lack of depth isn't restricted to new converts.. in our clam this week, one of the principal points for review was this:.

ne 1:1; 2:1—why can we conclude that “the 20thyear” mentioned at nehemiah 1:1 and 2:1 is countedfrom the same starting point?

daringhart13

Almost all of the truly gifted speakers and teachers I knew have left.

My god, it must be pure misery listening the stupidity at meetings.

Why would anyone choose to support Jehovah’s Witnesses?

by Half banana in

what is the point of supporting a belief which began as a bronze age ox-headed idol called yahweh... in a religion designed for illiterate peasants now appropriated by a money-driven cult with a one hundred and forty six year unbroken record of total failure of its bible based predictions?.

Makemeanunbeliever,

You do realize that supporting Jehovah's Witnesses is not a passive choice, right? I'm guessing you've only been associated with Jehovah's Witnesses for the past few years.

Consider:

Innocent people have died that could have been saved and had full lives (see changes in blood, Malawi, Nazi Germany)

Innocent children are sexually molested, brutally abused... and it goes unpunished and unreported, resulting in more children molested.

Millions have been robbed of reaching their full potential due to not attending college or pursuing dreams

Millions have had money stolen from them

Innocent people have had soul crushing lies pounded into their heads for over a century

How would you feel about someone that ran into a crowded theater and yelled "FIRE!" when there wasn't one? That is what JW's have been doing for over a century in field service.

How is it the best 'thing' going? How is it the best option? ANY support for this organization is a stand for something that kills innocent people and steals lives.
