What is the pulse of active JW‘s?
by SouthCentral in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
there has been a lot recent small changes that could be considered earth shattering for some… how are the longtime witnesses reacting?.

the typical response has to be thankfulness that jehovah is shedding light and refining them for the end of the world….

the witness, who’s a thinker has to be frustrated with wasting decades… is the lightbulb coming on for more pimi’s?.

Are JW's a Social Experiment ?
by Sea Breeze in

2. beliefs
when a person looks at the sheer volume of watchtower lies, denial of salvation, free labor, false prophecies, misrepresentations, gas-lighting and falsehoods about everything and anything, it makes me wonder if it's one big test to see how gullible people can be.

there was as social experiment in the 1960's that tested how far people were willing to administer an increasing dose of electric shock if directed to do so by an authority figure.

shockingly, people were willing to give lethal doses to their neighbors.

JWs can toast now….what’s next
by FFGhost in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so you can see from multiple topics here (& elsewhere), based on gb update #4, jws now have permission to toast.. there’s been a boatload of “xyz is now allowed” over the past couple of years….beards, no ties in field service or at the kh, sister can wear pants at the kh & in field service…... what do you think is next?.

a lot of folks are speculating on birthday celebrations being allowed, and i agree that will eventually come, but i don’t think it is next.

too big of a jump.. heres my guess:.

in the light of the lifting of sanctions on glass clinking and recent threads on chess and dvds of lord of the rings, was there anything you did for fun, as a hobby or for recreational purposes that you felt might be "taken the wrong way" if it came to the attention of the elders or sister busybody?.
