  Does anybody have any idea how many ex JW sites their are around the world ?

  by smiddy3 in

  in a conversation i had with a jw at the door some time ago he mentioned that their were heaps of apostate websites dishing out false information about jehovah`s witnesses .. i mentioned to him that if they were ex jw`s , so they knew about the religion ,maybe they are trying to tell you something.?.

  it just went over his head and that they all had an axe to grind.. anyway i was just wondering if anybody has done a count as to how many do exist in the whole world ?.

  even approximate guess-timations ?.

  I only visit this exjw website now but I've lost count of how many separate exjw groups I belong to on Facebook.

  There used to be a plethora to choose from and I joined quite a few when first exiting but they were harder to navigate and often a repeat of posts already here.

  A few years after I had left the cult I realised the cult still hadn't truly left me but I needed to cut down the time and attention I gave it so picked my favourite 2 sites to visit but the other one folded so now I just visit this one.

  We don't celebrate the birth of Christ or anything religious but we do have decorations, lights and a tree, exchange presents and eat a turkey roast with all rhe trimmings on the 25th.

  This will be our 9th Xmas.

  My memory fails me regularly but I am sure those exact sentiments were in a magazine around the same time of the "mentally diseased" study article.

  Wording along the lines of an attitude or being like Jehu but being restrained by laws of the land.

  “Do You Know the Time?” From WT Sept 2018

  by skin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is a one page article in the current wt study mag, sept 2018 pg 22 with the title “do you know the time?”.

  in that article it describes a number of different ways you can say the time is 1:30. it goes on to say “there are even places where that same time could be expressed as “half two,” meaning 30 minutes before two”.

  what i would like to know is this, where in the world does “half 2” mean 1:30?

  At least the question wasn't followed up by "Is it later than you think?"

  Now that would really be a pointless question. :p

  Did you know Banks create money out of thin air?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  banks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.

  in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?

  banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.

  When I first grasped the fact that banks do not have the money they lend you it's pulled from thin air and only becomes "money" once you have borrowed it I was gobsmacked.

  Why does WT rarely reference creationist scientist?

  by Sanchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in watching the latest video in the series "was it designed?

  " at tv-dot-jw-dot-org, i got to wondering why is it that watchtower hardly references scientist that are creationist.

  i know its only a minority from that group, but there are enough out there for them to reference from.

  The JWs I have spoken to on carts are completely ignorant as to how dinosaurs really became extinct or the time frame of when.

  I think finding a scientist or any academic who base their beliefs on evidence and facts lose their belief in fairy tales quite quickly and as more is known about how we got here a scientist with an imaginary friend becomes increasingly hard to find.

  We have a local fossil museum run by creationists and not a single quote is from this century and most are from pre moon landings. That is pretty damning evidence in itself.
