  Why Are So Many Witnesses So Weird?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe that in every hall there are a number of weird jws.. we had some that were (and still are) 65 year old mama's boys.

  they never got married, weren't gay, just weird.. we had old brother stevenson that used to yell at everyone if they didn't accept a book!.

  we had our share of weird elders that were always looking into world events and saying this proves bible prophecy--when in fact, it had nothing to do with it!.

  I was thinking of cognizant dissidence as being a problem. We have two weird individuals in our hall complex and I avoid them.

  What Does The Watchtower Society Do With All Their Money???

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  we know that the wbts owns a huge amount of real estate.

  they are selling properties in brooklyn and they are immersed in money.

  plus, they are always mentioning how easy it is to pay them cash or with checks or credit cards and even debit!

  It's official, the internet IS the Watchtower's nemesis!

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have been inspired recently by some of the comments on this forum regarding the society having reached a "tipping point".

  it's been observed that, despite the overwhelming weight of evidence that the society is nothing more than a damaging cult, the number of witnesses continues to increase, albeit gradually.

  the latest figures i have available are those in the 2011 yearbook, showing a global 2.5% increase between 2009 and 2010.. as we all know, the internet is steadily rising in accessibility (or "penetration") around the world, and it provides a wonderful resource for those who are curious about joining the faith, helping such ones to quickly identify precisely how warped the teachings of the watch tower society really are.

  What brought to my mind about this thread is thank God for the world wide web.

  Mass defection possible?

  by stuckinamovement in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are many of us who are trapped within the religion and are looking at leaving.

  i was wondering..... if there was an organized and well publicized effort to leave the organization en-masse on a certain date yet to be determined, how many do you think would participate?.

  one person leaves the org and it creates a small ripple.

  What is Armageddon For?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  armageddon is a military exercise where the nations will be judged in the "valley of decision" for how they treated israel in regard to dividing that land.

  it is not to destroy the wicked as the wt teaches.

  the wicked are destroyed from the effects of adam in that all die.. i will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

  I felt like you did about three weeks ago after working on my knees and bent over working on repairing some parging cement on my house. Next day I felt like some one beat me up real bad. My solution was a hot bath, a few drinks, pain killer and lay around a lot.

  July 15th WT- Don't Research " False Stories " - Inspired by Satan !

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know the poster lost generation made a fantastic thread on this july 15th apostate article, however - i noticed some very powerful points on pg.

  17 paragraphs 9 - 11 which weren't brought out that i feel needed to be touched on.

  as was brought out in his thread this article told jw's to avoid apostates because they are " mentally diseased " allegedly and to avoid their web sites, not read their literature, watch t.v.
