"I'm still confused. More lost than ever. why attack JWN?"
The above site bothered me. Someone here linked me to the above site. Extreme beliefs in people that control other people's minds.

"In your opinion, is Watchtower a harmless organization?"
I've only spoken in length to the ones that study with my wife.

Upper Room Ministries appears to be a highly motivated religious hate group in opposition to the Watchtower.
Religious groups believe in invisible beings. A supreme being, angels, demons, etc.

As our Bible reading and research intensified, the ever-changing doctrines of the Watchtower Society began to "raise red flags" with us because some of their doctrines could not be reconciled with the Bible. Such as the elder arrangements, no independent thinking, the cross, their definition of "Christendom", education and employment. The major doctrinal changes regarding the 1914 generation, blood, and disfellowshipping could only be found through Watchtower dogma, not the Bible.
After discussing these and other concerns with a member of the Governing Body on a personal invitation to Brooklyn headquarters, it became more apparent that the Watchtower organization is nothing more than a business masquerading as a religion. Through spending a full day at Bethel, as well as having numerous phone conversations with this member of the Governing Body, it was easy to see the control that the Watchtower organization has over its members. The glue that holds the organization together wasn't godly or spiritual, becoming transparently obvious that the Watchtower Society's key to locking in members is the undeniable form of mind control. Our exit from the Watchtower organization began around the year 2000, and we had to carefully consider our exit strategy. Having five children, two of whom are still active Jehovah's Witnesses, we had to consider all the repercussions of leaving.
One of our daughters is married to a ministerial servant and is regularly pioneering by putting in 70 hours a month of time in field service. The other is also married to a Jehovah's Witness and they have one son (our grandson who we have not seen for many years). Rick's mother and several of his other relatives are also Jehovah's Witnesses. With many close family members involved with the organization, our departure from the Watchtower had to be carefully considered. As a result of leaving, of course, we have been shunned by all our Witness relatives and two of our children.
Due to our grave concern for our children, their mates, our grandson, and all other relatives and friends who are still loyal to the Watchtower organization, we have carefully and painstakingly put together the Six Screens of the Watchtower. Along with the website, we will continue to develop exposure seminars entitled "Six Screens of the Watchtower" attempting to help ex-Witnesses as well as active Witnesses see the real "truth" behind the Watchtower organization.

Upper Room Ministries smacks of a religious hate group. This stuff won't alter anyone's thinking. For starters, I don't believe in a higher power, so whatever adverse consequences a person experiences as a result of blind faith in intangible, invisible beings isn't resolved by exchanging one religious ideology for another or being born again into another religion and engaging in illterate religious psyche warfare. All I could find in the book being studied with my spouse is some doctrinal differences from the way they interpret religious text.

Should Jehovah's Witnesses be banned by secular authorities?
by Spade inthis discussion forum is somewhat perplexing.
it appears to criminalize a religious entity in the way that most secular humanists lament religion and feel the god devolution should be, well, eradicated from society.
what action should be taken against these people?

What action should be taken against these people? Should legislation be introduced that possibly dissolves this sect of their civil rights, or should the federal government continue to allow Jehovah's Witnesses religious freedom?

Things That Matter and Things That Don't
by AllTimeJeff inbeing a jehovah's witness at any time and at any level is a major head f*ck.
the reason is that it obscures what is important and causes you to focus on what doesn't matter.. i've moved on from my jw experience.
it's a shame that i found myself a born in, taught to focus on things that don't matter.

“Being a Jehovah's Witness at any time and at any level is a major head f*ck.”
Sounds like 5-star acid. You have to wonder why anyone does it. -

Forgive the Watchtower!
by sabastious ini was abused by my father growing up.
physically and emotionally.. as a entered my adult life i had next to no self esteem, in part because he didn't really attempt to help me get some because i didn't chose the career path that he dreamed for me.. 2 years ago i forgave him.
i let go of the anger that i had for him because i knew that when it was all said and done, he did what he did and i believe that he did his best.

Please correct me if I'm wrong and introduce yourself."
Jehovah's Witnesses have been coming to my house and spending time with my wife.

When will the crashing and burning of this organization begin?
by easyreader1970 inas i see it, there are three looming threats that all have the potential - individually or combined - to bring the wbts to its knees, at least in the united states, anyway.. 1. youth retention.
the young people aren't buying it.
the watchtower will argue that faithless young people are giving in to demonic persuasion and leaving the truth.

How do these people respond to what you say when you talk to them?
