  Good News Everyone!

  the non-profit organization behind the jehovah's witnesses in kraainem, belgium has been convicted of inciting discrimination and hatred or violence against former members who chose to leave the community.

  the court in ghent has fined jehovah's witnesses eur 12,000 but due to the indexation adjustment, the actual payout to the victim will be (at this point) 8 times higher.

  the multiplier seems weird to us, for those familiar with us law, the eur 12,000 is the statutory fine, taking into account the devaluation of currency, the court system sets an indexed multiplier for fines, currently at 8 - similar to how fines in the us were set in the 1800's at $100 would now be several thousands of dollars.. it is likely that the jehovah's witnesses will pursue this case to the european court.. according to the prosecutor, this case is therefore mainly about recognizing the malpractices within the community, not so much about sanctions: “in our opinion, this is a blatant violation of the discrimination law.

  WTWizard - "Basically, these toys are a means to masturbation."

  Which, obviously, turns you gay.

  Which means that for all intents and purposes, everyone is actually gay.

  FedUpJW - "They likely would claim that sex toys are only used by homosexuals and lesbians ala Moronic Morris manner of 'reasoning'..."

  And now I'm picturing lesbians using sex toys.

  In spanx.

  Spiritually Weak Ones Are Bad Association according to the Governing Body

  after you read the words of jesus in mark 2: 17, you will see that the contrast between the teachings of jesus and the governing body.. .

  you clearly read what's written in the bible, but the society is always twisting and bending scriptures to their benefit.

  here is stephen lett talking about ''spiritually weak'' members and twisting jesus's words teaching on sinners:.

  I've long suspected the GB would like to enact some kind of official policy to DF/DA inactives.

  I suppose using rhetoric and propaganda to influence the loyal R&F to approximate the conditions would accomplish that almost as effectively.

  Did The Witnesses Mess Up Your Sex Life?

  by minimus in

  most of the witnesses i knew never really talked about sex.

  whatever couples did was pretty much kept quiet.

  every once in a while a wife might complain to the elders or a friend that the husband is too demanding or even immoral because of the sex practices the husband wanted.

  IMO, the WTS has gotta be the most sexually repressed organization in the developed world.

  Frankly, knowing what I know now, I'm fucking amazed JWs even have kids.

  Once again, for the newbies, lurkers, and trolls...

  ...if you have to cheat to defend your beliefs, your beliefs don't deserve to be defended.

  Stephane - "They are the ones making the claim, they should be the ones to prove it."

  It's kinda funny, actually.

  They're in a very weird place where - from their POV (due to 100-plus-years of ideological policy and internal stated standards) - they have to believe it...

  ...but...

  ...on a fundamental level, they don't dare try to really and truly prove it, because...

  a) ...any such proof ends up being so much conjecture, supposition, and unfounded assumption that it's pretty much nonexistent, and...

  b) ...virtually all authentic, demonstrable evidence (based on history, science and logic) almost always ends up disproving the claim.

  Accepting the reason why the Watchtower Corporation and its top leaders are endeavored to brainwash people

  by Rocketman123 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  taking a close look at the operation of the jws religion you can observe technics of brainwashing orchestrated through the literature the wts publishes for its members such as the watchtower .. everything these men have done had calculating agendas, which were to firstly attract attention to the literature they published, to cultivate power toward themselves, to intentionally take control over people's lives and of course draw in money.. brainwashing (also known as mind control, menticide, coercive persuasion, thought control, thought reform, and re-education) is the concept that the human mind can be altered or controlled by certain psychological techniques.

  brainwashing is said to reduce its subjects' ability to think critically or independently,[1] to allow the introduction of new, unwanted thoughts and ideas into their minds,[2] as well as to change their attitudes, values and beliefs.

  dozy - "There seems to be a desperate lack of corporate self awareness, accountability or objectivity."

  Like I keep saying...

  ...shit like that's an easy habit to fall into when you're convinced God whispers in your ear, and you surround yourself solely with individuals who are never allowed to disagree with you.

  I’d have thought that all the times they’ve been hopelessly, hilariously wrong was proof enough. 😏
