I have long thought of the LDS as the WTS’s nicer but weirder older cousin.

4Mormon Apologetic Article - JW comparisons etc
by dozy inhttps://www.spectator.co.uk/article/what-mormons-like-me-really-believe.
from an ex-jw perspective , i was quite interested in the above article , which the spectator ( presumably ) felt obligated for legal reasons to publish to allow a response to a rather unfavourable article below.. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-troubling-history-of-mormonism.
the arguments are fairly rehearsed and often used by jw "spokesmen".

The Craziness of JW's.
by Overrated inmy dad and i would work on different "pioneers" vehicles in our kingdumb hell.
and to nuts and bolts they where real "hoopties" anytime ready for the crusher.
both my dad and i would work with our skills to keep their cars running since they don't have a real job to get a real working car.

GrreatTeacher - "I always thought the JWs would be better off if they followed the Mormon pattern: had people pioneer for two years when young and then get real jobs so they could donate back to the organization..."
Hell, they probably didn't do it that way because the Mormons did it.
If Babylon the Great said "zig", the WTS would zag, because fuck you, that's why.

JW's getting creative (or desperate) to preach during the pandemic ....
by EdenOne inso, there's this social game called second life.. there one creates an avatar and can lead a parallel life.
there's a bit of everything, from general environments to adult.
it can be a hub for creative people, it can be a magnet for creeps.

The Wwatchtower turning into a real laughing Stock
by Overrated inover the years watchtower has turned into a real joke in the world scene.
with the lawsuits, downsizing and decreasing numbers.
what they use to be is gone and they will never recover the numbers they once had.

Honestly, sometimes when I'm in a conspiracy-theory mood, I wonder if the GB - someday in the future, anxious and faced with actual undeniable decline that couldn't be simply explained away - would try to provoke The World into "persecuting" them in the hopes that Jehovah would drop the Big A and bail them out.

hoser - "They are in major decline because no one cares."
This.
Back in the day, the Org absolutely thrived on so-called "opposition"...
...apathy was mentioned once in a while, but only in the context of the rank-and-file.
Ten bucks says the WT leadership never had a clue how to deal with "Satan's World" not actually giving a shit.

False memorial partakers deserve to die???
by Jofi_Wofo inevery memorial, much emphasis is placed on making sure that only the (self-proclaimed) anointed partake in the emblems.
this year, however, the speaker at my wife's congregation presented it as an even more serious matter.
he likened it to individuals in ancient israel who sought position of the priesthood despite never been appointed by jehovah.

Is this really so surprising?
As far as the WTS is concerned, anyone who doesn't obey "God's Exclusive Earthly Organization" is deserving of death.
An unexplainable increase in emblem-takers in the Last Days contradicts their cosmology, therefore said increase must be false partakers.
Since non-anointed ones have been explicitly told not to partake of the emblems, these false partakers are therefore not obeying "God's Exclusive Earthly Organization".
Thusly, they deserve death. ()
Frankly, I'm kinda surprised the Org hasn't spelled this out sooner, but maybe they were waiting to see if the carrot worked better than the stick.

Misquotes, Lies and deception in Watchtower Publications
by jwfacts ini have just finished an article misquotes, deception and lies and would like your comments, proof reading, and any other examples that you think are important to add.
most of these already appear on jwfacts.com within specific articles, but it is more powerful seeing them included together.
there have also been a number of requests over the years for such a collection.

Seriously, though...
...it's almost at the point where it's actually funny when we see someone here insisting that the Org is still going strong or will never decline.
