  walking back from town today we saw two old ladys and i said "good morning" my child said " are those ladys the ones in that religion that come and talk to you about something but i dont know what ?

  " i said they were not but she started to ask about grandma again(jw grandma that has not visited for 18 months , her disfellowshipped dads mother .

  ) it was quite difficult to answer some of her questions and i told her daddy and i dont want to be in the religion because they dont let you see your family who leave the religion (amongst other reasons !

  bankruptcy is not a very likely scenario. they would have to experience the fulfillment of thier own prophecy. a few nations would have to realize the danger they put their followers in and a consorted legal crackdown(i.e. giving those directly hurt by the org a legal right to sue, taxation as a corporation) on fundementalist behavior on a national scale would cause a falling away of many and the diehards would then declare "the great tribulation is upon us". after a few years of wailing and no divine intervention the fundies would start to disband.

  i was born and raised into a very loving family of jehovah's witnesses.

  even though my dad was always working overseas, my mom kept my sister and me "spiritually strong.

  " i progressed very rapidly in the organization.

  honestly a hateful rumor would be a good thing for me right now. that kind of prejudice might help my wife see how loving her beloved "truth" is.

  "Fault finding attitude"

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this term is always used in articles about apostasy.. it find it wholly ironic that the wt accuses anyone of having a fault finding attitude.. you ever have someone accuse you to your face of a trait that is blatantly their own?

  this would be a case of that.. the wt does almost nothing but bring up faults inside their organization and out.

  they never miss an opportunity to find fault in the witnesses daily lives as well as slander any outside organization they can even in menial ways.. -sab.

  they can slant the meaning of the phrase "fault finding" to control your thinking and make you submit to thier authority, its all part of the mind control. what if you changed the phrase to "critical speculation",or objective critisizm now someone would be considered sckeptical and it changes the feeling behind the phrase.

  everything they print has a reason
