  Do You Try To Avoid The Witnesses When You See Them?

  i think i typically don't want to be either love bombed or questioned.

  i happen to see jws a lot while visiting my mom.

  they don't go there with me, which works well for all concerned..

  Wake up and smell the cult! please I'm begging you.

  at times i yearn for those i love that are still "in" to just wake up and smell the cult.. i end up feeling sorry for them yet angry at them at the same time.. i know each person is on their own journey and its a process,.

  but i just wish the process would hurry up already!.

  when will this nightmare end.

  Frustrating conversation i had yesterday...I finally realized

  that when you point out the beliefs/doctrine of jwitnesses,

  they don't know what you are talking about .....never read THAT!

  *

  Try to show them or explain it, and guess what...are they shocked, amazed.

  .....oh no...................they don't care!!!! aaaaagagggggg!

  What Carl Sagan thought of jw propaganda.

  *

  An interesting comment on this transformation was made by Carl Sagan in his book Broca's Brain (New York: Ballantine Books, 1979, pp. 332-333):

  Doctrines that make no predictions are less compelling than those which make correct predictions; they are in turn more successful than doctrines that make false predictions.

  But not always. One prominent American religion confidently predicted that the world would end in 1914. Well, 1914 has come and gone, and -- while the events of that year were certainly of some importance -- the world does not, at least so far as I can see, seem to have ended. There are at least three responses that an organized religion can make in the face of such a failed and fundamental prophecy. They could have said, "Oh, did we say '1914'? So sorry, we meant '2014.' A slight error in calculation. Hope you weren't inconvenienced in any way." But they did not. They could have said, "Well, the world would have ended, except we prayed very hard and interceded with God so He spared the Earth." But they did not. Instead, they did something much more ingenious.

  They announced that the world had in fact ended in 1914, and if the rest of us hadn't noticed, that was our lookout. It is astonishing in the face of such transparent evasions that this religion has any adherents at all. But religions are tough. Either they make no contentions which are subject to disproof or they quickly redesign doctrine after disproof. The fact that religions can be so shamelessly dishonest, so contemptuous of the intelligence of their adherents, and still flourish does not speak very well for the tough-mindedness of the believers. But it does indicate, if a demonstration were needed, that near the core of the religious experience is something remarkably resistant to rational inquiry.

  Da.Furious ...hey nice to see you on here. Good question!

  Personally...now I am out, after discovering that the jehovah's witness

  society (my hands sweat just typing it out!) lies, deceives & just

  makes sh$t up............I loathe using that name!

  *

  When I hear so many mumble these names, even from the platform,

  ie. kitam hal (kingdom hall) and use JEHOVAH a dozen times in one

  prayer....more like they have OCD ....not like they really believe it,

  then I think jw or jw.org is a quick way to bypass the agony! lol

  Jimbojones ......nice to have you here ..welcome!

  "Todays Day text: Keep on reproving them with severity, that they may be healthy in the faith.—Titus 1:13."

  Ha ha ...that's about the equivalent of saying about the guy with a

  head wound........ "keep on hitting him with a baseball bat, until he

  learns a lesson!"
