Articles like these are extremely harmful to the rank and file JW's.

6/15 WT - WT Society can Run it's Business - but JW's Can't Have their Own
by flipper inin the typical do as we say , not as we do type mentality - the wt society puts forth in this current wt study article ( jw's only wt ) - that it's not " advisable " or " reasonable " for jehovah's witnesses to seek entering their own business ventures , or further themselves by getting a college education, or even have a career - due to the imminent coming of the alleged " end of the system " or alleged " paradise " .
the guilt and control used here is ridiculous.
in the article titled , " why put jehovah's service first ?

The world ends on May 27, 2012....
by pseudoxristos inor so says ronald weinland;.
may 27, 2012april 29, 2012. as readers of this site know, may 27, 2012, is the time that i have stated as being the date jesus christ will return as king of kings over all government on this earth.
for such an event to come to pass, the trumpets of revelation must all sound, the united states and dollar collapse, the ten nations of europe arise to fulfill the final revival of the holy roman empire, and russia with china must unite against europe in wwiii.. .... http://www.ronaldweinland.com/.

An article on shunning that really started the wheels turning
by sd-7 init was the september 1, 2006 watchtower, page 17, "when a loved one leaves jehovah".
it was this quote i found upsetting:.
it has become harder and harder to sit at christian meetings and see parents laughing and talking with their children, says louise.

Is that man and woman on the Witnesses of Jehovah video still living? I like how they show the watchtower bulidings in the beginning.
I like the part where she starts crying when she says her daughter couldnt celebrate her birthday. So 80's and so over the top.

Jehovah's Witnesses - Faith In Action Part 2 - thoughts?
by Captain Obvious inmost of us remember the thread last month about the video that was supposed to be watched in prep for discussion at the meeting.
well at the end of this month, there is a discussion on part 2. .
part 1 had at least that one big glaring lie, about what the bible students were expecting in 1914. it then went on in the usual fashion, blaming the students themselves for having made up their own expectations.... .

Both Faith in Action 1 and 2 look beautiful to any active and believing JW's but to us, its a bunch of watered down reactments and a lot of omitting, double standards, and ramblings of faithful and discreet members who are there last leg literally (think Ted Jaracz and John Barr). It bascially gives a fairy tale account of their history. They leave a lot out, giving the public the illusion of a flawless and faultless organization.

A Brief History of Racism in Watchtower Publications
by cedars ini've just completed a lengthy article on the history of racism in the society's publications.
many people (including myself, until recently) aren't aware that the society's early publications were brimming with racist rhetoric, and this only calmed down as the public mood towards racism changed, most notably with the civil rights movement in the 50s/60s.. a few "headliners" from the article are:.
russell segregated blacks from whites for viewings of the photodramarussell believed that the skin of a black man would turn white during the millennial kingdomunder russell, the society's publications portrayed the black races as "degraded" and the white race as "superior"rutherford viewed the blacks as a "race of servants", and spoke of "sobering the southern negro" in an article against prohibitionunder rutherford, the golden age slammed uncle tom's cabin (a work that helped end slavery) as being "the work of satan"; the same article branded spaniards a "backwards race"rutherford accused "jewish business men" of "oppressing the peoples of many nations"in 1929 the golden age (acknowledged by the society as essentially the same magazine as the modern awake!

@ Alfred, I saw that. I always wondered why they put that in there.
@ Cedars, My parents are black (african american) Jehovah's Witnesses and most black JW's wouldnt even care about what you just posted. There is so much proof that the watchtower has a racist history, but its sad that most witnesses of color would take it with a grain of salt. SMH.

I guess its not that I hate JW's in general but its their whole attitude of 'I'm the choosen christian, I'm better then those christians, were JW's, were different, blah blah blah. Its all christianity when your done talking, and christianity (FOR THE MOST PART) is all fucked up in general. You might have your chruches that are doing some good, but when you get to the root of all of it, its all fucked up. For example, my mother flat out REFUSED to go to my friend's chruch this past weekend for a wedding, because she has standards and doesnt want to get caught up in christidom. How DARE she judge my friend just because she's not a j-dub. But if a Jehovah's Witness has a wedding, of course, non-J-dubs aka worldly people have to put there feelings aside to go to their weddings!!!
LOL @ the title of thread and lol @ the first post.

I dreamed I went to Heaven.....
by Phizzy inand there, seated on a golden throne was jehovah, not frightening at all, very impressive but benign looking, with a pleasant smile, he said "would you like to ask me anything?".
it flashed through my mind that i would ask him the question about allowing evil, but i thought i might not get too long to question so i said : .
"are you the supreme being ?".
