  It's OK Lurkers, Paranoid former JW's, and even you current JW's....

  by AllTimeJeff in

  it's ok.... to post here on the internet, on jwn, and other jw related forums.. first of all, as we all know, the governing body doesn't provide a forum for jw's to "associate" with their brothers and sisters.

  i'm just guessing, and i could be wrong, that its harder to control the flock when they have free access to information and each other.

  damn electricity and the technology it brings..... anyway, i realize that for anyone leaving, or for practicing jw's, to post is a nervous thing.

  At the tribulation your children may be taken from you like in nazi Germany

  by jambon1 in

  it is incredible the amount of scaremongering that jw's carry out.. this was one that always plagued me when i was still trying to grasp onto my beliefs as a jw.. either in wt study or in private discussion, this topic would come up.. what a horendous outlook of the future.

  to be in absolute fear that the authorities might take your children away from you.

  that you might suffer torture.

  What book did you study which brought you into the org? Is it now defunct?

  by James_Slash in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think we can all gather that given the major doctrinal changes over the past few decades, a lot of books are now defunct for one reason or another whether that be doctrinal changes or simply that they are now inaccurate in line with todays teachings.. so which book convinced you that it was the 'truth' and brought you into the organisation and is it now defunct?.

  mine was the knowledge that leads to everlasting life published in 2000. i don't know for sure, but i can't imagine that this book is completely accurate given the changes recently regarding generation..

  For WT Secret Agents Only

  i'm just beating the bush for snakes... (sabre rattling).

  when reformers grow tired of shaking away their tree of snakes, scum and rotten fruit, they'll be surprised to see that beaconed and sheltered jws & ex-jw numbers have grown more than the number of wt loyal members; just because they kept ignoring their members' real welfare.

  New light what is it...cos I'm confused??

  by Fractured~Mind in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok this is the biggest problem i have ...well one of...and that's the governing body's stance on "new light".

  to me its like a dimmer light , whatever subject you have the light on, starting with the lowest setting you can make out the basics.

  when the dial is turned up slowly to the brightest setting, you then have the whole, complete,picture...but you don't have a whole new subject matter in front of you.. so i can understand them starting with the basics then later on slowly revealing more and more as it is revealed to them...but i dont understand starting with one idea and completely changing that idea over and over again.. and if the light is not that bright on a subject, isnt it common sense to keep your big trap shut until your sure or the light is brighter, so you don't stumble millions of people in the process??.

  Younger JW's Have Never Heard of Jonestown

  by WalkTall in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the other day i was talking to a jw in her 30's and mentioned jonestown and she had no idea what i was talking about.

  she had never heard of it.

  with all their harping about the dangers of 'false' religion, you would think that jonestown, heaven's gate, and the like would be right up their alley and would be brought up often as examples of why one should never leave the safety of the one true religion.
