  Mind Control

  by brotherdan in

  2. friends

  so i've been reading stephen hassan's book on mind control and he made an interesting point that made me think about myself.

  he asks the question, "what makes some people just walk out of cults on their own, while others require much harsher measures from others to get them out?".

  most of you know that i was thoroughly indoctrinated as a jw.

  Five Serious Questions for Lurking Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Ebed_Abodah in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  [quote="ebed_abodah"]as ex-jehovahs witnesses we believe that there are numerous points taught by the faithful and discreet slave and its governing body that contradict the bible, the very book that they are supposedly drawing all their beliefs from.

  if jehovah god is actually using the governing body to disseminate scriptural truths, as they like to call it, then any seeming contradictions between what they teach and what the bible teaches would be easily answered to a point that all would find satisfaction with.. with this in mind, i want to ask any active jehovahs witnesses who may view this site some questions that have stuck out in my mind.

  these questions, with bible verses to support my view, are coming from me honestly and without any trickery involved.

  by brotherdan in

  2. bible

  so i was thinking about this whole idea of animals being tame and getting along with each other and how the wts depicts this in their artwork.

  i'm having a major issue with this.

  how far down the food chain would this go?

  Petition against MadJW

  by brotherdan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'd like to submit a motion that we no longer respond to posts posted by madjw.

  he's using this forum to spam all of us into going to his wts defending website.

  he also claims to be a regular pioneer and gets the majority of his time by posting on this site.

  The H.M. Riley Trust

  by alice.in.wonderland in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  because someone, someone who misused their authority as financial information of such as is posted online relative to this trust is confidential communication between a financial planner, accountant, board of trustees and beneficiary of the trust; it's revealed the mutual funds owned by the riley trust have a "consumer staples/consumer goods" component, and one of the stocks in that component is phillip morris.. it's a completely immaterial amount of money and it's not generated by securities that are able to be traded, unless the entire mutual fund is sold off.

  this is another fine example of people who have an axe to grind with jehovah's witnesses doing a whole lot of work to produce a "smoking gun" that really is nothing of the kind.. this stems from some financial information that was released related to a lady named henrietta riley.

  apparently a wealthy jw that made the watchtower society the beneficiary of the income from her trust.

  Violence Training

  by MrFreeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  did anybody notice the paragraph in today's study edition that pretty much said that "violent video games and movies are training people to be violent towards each other during the great tribulation".. i really had to do my best to not laugh when i read this.

  i don't know if any of you watch penn & teller's show.

  they did a show on violent video games and their effect.

  Does a JW know how to preach with out slandering other religions?

  by Little Imp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the first things i noticed when attending a kh is how the person on the platform always resorted to slandering other religions during his talk.

  it reminds me so much of a party political broadcast just before an election.

  as soon as the candidate starts slandering the opposing party i just switch off.. i am not interested in what everyone else is doing wrong i want to know what they are going to that's right.

  # 1 scripture that Jehovah Witnesses avoid, when denying they are false prophets

  by wasblind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jeremiah 28: 15-17. and jeremiah the prophet went on to say to hananiah the prophet: "listen, please, oh hananiah!

  jehovah has not sent you, but you yourself have caused this people to trust in a falsehood.

  therefore this is what jehovah has said, ' look!
