  News Reports are "Apostate Lies"

  by truth_b_known in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  with the most recent investigative news report show entitled "the witnesses" i noticed a number of posters whose family members are pimi refer to such shows as "apostate lies.

  " even the governing body (possibly loesch) made such a statement (possibly on jw broadcasting).

  i was thinking of how to reply to such a statement.. first, ask "who is the apostate?

  where does one begin ?.

  jehovah`s witnesses pride themselves as being a bible based religion ,that their beliefs and practices are all bible based ?.

  Basically, if Christendom says "zig", the Watchtower zags...

  ...I mean, jeezus, it's almost a reflex action at this point

  GB Letter To Elders In Response To Oxygen Series

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this letter was put out right when the series aired.

  seems they have "disfellowshipped" reporters pretty much in the eyes of their followers.

  public information desk: as of july 1, 2019, a public information desk (pid) was established to handle communication with news media, academic institutions, and government agencies.

  This is telling...

  "...when elders learn that a publisher has granted such an interview, they should immediately inform PID."

  Talk to the press, and you're in trouble.

  Is it possible to use this thread to compile watchtowers Armageddon illustrations

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was informed today by a jw that the watchtower doesn't use images and propaganda to instil fear.

  i would really like to see a compilation of all their armageddon illustrations.

  maybe a thread or web page already exists that had this content.. the one i am really wanting is the most recent picture of the witnesses in the basement during the tribulation.. this will be a massive help so thank you..

  2. friends

  jw.org is on collision course with russia.

  the may wt study edition is full of prophesy related to the time of the end and what we have read so much in isaiah and jeremia bookstudy publications.. they found their enemy again.

  jw.org needs enemy's to exist.

  Circuit Overseer to Answer My Questions + Concerns...or Not

  by Research in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hello all, i'm 'researching', a jw who is in the first steps of taking a look at their beliefs.. i've semi-recently (about a couple weeks ago) heard about the sexual abuse cases (pennsylvania attorney general’s investigation request) and then the arc in 2015. this lead to a deep investigation, which lead to many questions arising.

  a jw friend of mine suggested i be careful (due to apostates) and ask the brothers.

  so i typed up my questions + concerns and emailed an elder my mother has known for a long time.

  Technically, Stephen Lett called them “apostate-driven lies”...

  ...so, even if the information is actually true, loyal JWs are expected to disbelieve it because of its alleged origin.

  Which is, of course, stupid.

  Why the Oxygen Special will not work like we think it will...

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  within the very documentary is a reason i think that jw's for the most part will not wake up even if they watch this program.

  the one lady actually saw as her family sat behind the abuser in court supporting him despite the established fact that he had abused their very own child.. this shows how deep the indoctrination is.

  i am not saying that some won't wake up, but the majority will carry on, not even because they think these things are lies but because they will look past that at all costs to side with jehovah.

  Name one POSITIVE thing you took from your experience as a Witness

  by geodude in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was thinking about this at work the other day, and realized the one positive thing i can truly credit the jws with: .

  i have no fear of public speaking.

  i was a shy kid, fat, clumsy, with crooked glasses and worse teeth, who wore hand-me-downs in one of the wealthiest counties in all of america, who sat still while classmates got up to salute the flag or recite the pledge of allegiance.

  "Messy compromises with reality"... that's good, I like that.

  I recently read a very appropriate quote (in a work of fiction, no less), that's stuck in my head like almost nothing else...

  …"ideological purity never survives contact with the enemy".
