an interesting program on scientology was aired on the bbc on monday- you can view the program on the bbc iplayer here (may be restricted for uk residents only).

there certainly were similarities with the jws (although the description of scientology as the wtbts on steroids is an accurate one.).

I think we should all write to Panarama and get them to do a similar expose of JW's.

I agree cantleave.

Most people think/see Scientology as a cult, whereas most view JWs as just a pushy religion. The world should be warned about them as well, then if someone still wants to be a JW, by all means go for it, at least they were warned.

"You can't just tell someone their faith is wrong without offering a replacement!"

by sabastious in

i have heard this from several witnesses.. the assert that it is insensitive to expose someone's faith as invalid without offering another more valid spiritual path.. "the jehovah's witnesses don't have the truth, because xyz.".

^ i have been accused of offering a disservice because i can't offer the answers to the questions that i am debunking as fradulent.. has anyone else ran into this obscure argument?.

-sab.

Them: Why aren't you drinking your glass of water, Sab?

You: That water has poison in it! Don't drink it!

Them: You just hate my water and want to take me away from it!

You: I'm telling you, it's poisoned! You are in danger! You can choose to drink it, but I am exercising my right to abstain.

Them: Well, where else would you get a drink? There's nowhere... you're a malicious apostate. You have nothing to offer.

Well said Zolks!

Notice how the Apostate crushed the CO's blue car and the PO's white car at the same time.

Aim for something like that ...

Do You Think Some Witnesses Are Mentally Ill Or Mentally Impaired....

by minimus in

jw
friends

and that's why they are in the religion?.

i recall many jws over the years who were what i'll call "weird"---and looking back at it, many witnesses are "odd" and "different"..

3Mozzies

and even the one witless that was busted in July 2009 after killing and eating a baby! I don't know of any mentally sound person, not in a dire emergency situation, that would stoop to killing and eating a baby.

WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?! I never heard that story!

10seconds on google, I found the story: http://www.seattlepi.com/national/408515_baby28.html?source=mypi

the best is: "use your vacation to go somewhere, where the need is great !!!" we have one mentally ill couple, who seriously considered doing this !

Hahaha ... yes I have seen these types of people plan their vacation to go witnessing in an area of 'need'. What absolute morons!!!! I can say that I was never that indoctrinated. One couple that I know did this are mentally ill to the max! (well the husband is, poor wife follows him like a lost puppy) Another drongo that I know did this by himself, young guy too, what a NEEEEEERD!

Man it's great to be free from them all.

My grandma called me child of Satan

by Newborn in

friends

my grandma is 85 and still a jw (i don't think she's one of the best though).

i guess she's been hoping that i would come back but when we met this summer and she realised i'm together with a "worldly" man she understood i'm not planning to come back at all.

(btw she shouldn't see me at all in the first place since i've left but she's been "tolerant" abt that).

Hi Newborn, Tell me about it. They view us as something evil now, scum, demonic or stupid for leaving the WT Book Company. They are blind, pure brainwashed, if your grandmother has been in this cult long enough it will be almost impossible for her to see the 'Truth' about the JW version of the 'truth'. Brainwashed to the max!

I too am having problems with an older relative, trying to stay respectful as well but it's so hard when they come up with such stupid comments. I bite my tongue now and avoid the subject as much as I can. My older relative will NEVER see the truth. "Those men in NY are the FDS and I've left them and will soon die at Armageddon" ... yeah right, give me a break!

Keep strong and enjoy your life Newborn :)
