  Crimes committed by JWs

  by Black Man in

  hey all, i'm still embroiled in my ongoing debate w/a few jw's and now we're on this tangent where they are saying that jws are the most peaceful and law abiding people in comparison to other religious people.

  i said that's not true, there's been many news articles that detail various crimes committed by jws.

  i couldn't find anything right away when i did a google search, so can someone point me to some threads or links that contain recent and past articles of jw's in trouble w/the law or who have committed crimes?.

  Do they use Jehovah's name repeatedly because it's their name?

  i was thinking when reading another thread where it was mentioned how god's name was never used in the nt, but how often it is uttered in khs that it is used so often, not because we need to use his name, but because it is the name associated with their organization.

  it is their name really.

  could that be why it's used so often?.

  When I first started attending it was very obvious how they overused his name. When talking to someone normally we don't say their name that often it always seemed strange. I once wondered whether it made one feel more holy the more often it was said.

  Another thing I found odd was that they say "Jehovah God" it is like saying "John Person" or "John Man", again sounded odd to me.

  Perhaps some helpful advice. My rant on the JW mindset.

  by garyneal in

  pride and prejudice abound in the watchtower religion.. i go to the assemblies and it becomes very clear that the speakers are so proud of the fact that their religion is the one true religion and that they are so much better than the other churches out there.

  the amount of pride i heard coming from the platform is astounding.

  astounding still is the fact that they cannot see it themselves and at one point in time, i could not see it either.

  Lol jgnat

  Husband said he had a good time, he seemed to bring everything up including mentioning about 1975 which she (21 year old) did not deny. He then went onto say that teenages were discouraged from seeking an education because of Armageddon being "around the corner" and many, although had other aspirations, became window cleaners. Some of which have since been unable to obtain other employment and are still doing it into old age. He (the male witness) then said he was a window cleaner!

  She made a point of saying that she was a born in but had done her research and made up her own mind to stay in.

  Hubby mentioned Crisis of Conscience which he said his Uncle gave him and he had read it - his comment was that it was biased. Hubby said it was factual.

  Hubby also mentioned when vaccinations were not allowed and that many people died because of this.

  He mentioned the UN and they seemed aware that they had been members.

  He also asked what if you were a witness and you disagreed with some of the teachings, they said you can't. He said but they tell you the light is getting brighter so the teachings change. They couldn't answer this.

  They told him that he would know JWs by their unconditional love (WTF)! Hubby told them that it was CONDITIONAL love.

  I can't remember everything he told me but will update you as and when I remember or he tells me more.

  He said he enjoyed himself but he never let on that he had been brought up in their faith just that he had attended some meetings with a colleague and done some research.
