  Watchtower admonitions against unofficial pro-JW websites

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a friend of mine asked, "do you recall a watchtower or km that said the jw's are not suppose to read, or post information in defense of the watchtower on their own personal website or anyone elses website?".

  of course, there is the july 15, 2011 watchtower: what is involved in avoiding false teachers?

  we do not receive them into our homes or greet them.

  Eventhough I think it is a huge mistake to go back to a cultish lifestyle, I wish SBF the best and will certainly look forward to the day he will surely return.

  "Have a good day" is about the only thing they could say. They are indeed a cult but won't admit it.

  7 things we probably should not stop thinking about

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  believe what we will, we still live in the real world and what happens to us proceeds from confrontations unavoidable.. the christian scientist can die from an illness which (to him) does not exist.. the hindu can starve to death in a pasture full of sacred cattle.. the jehovah's witness can sell his house and pioneer full time as he tears the pages from his 1975 calendar in exasperation.. and many is the parent who prays for mercy over the child who dies.. to think or not think is our choice.

  the content of our thought can be real or illusory.

  the progress report comes at the end of each day as we lie in bed and count the costs of our beliefs.. .

  A Manual for Creating Atheists by Peter Boghossian

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a manual for creating atheists offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith--but for talking them out of it.

  peter boghossian draws on the tools he has developed and used for more than twenty years as a philosopher and educator to teach how to engage the faithful in conversations that will help them value reason and rationality, cast doubt on their religious beliefs, mistrust their faith, abandon superstition and irrationality, and ultimately embrace reason.

  - amazon.... "boghossian has provided an indispensible chart book for all of us who must navigate the rising sea of magical thinking that is inundating america today.

  How to DF 2 People… With ZERO Proof! New YouTube video and article

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this story is quite remarkable and no doubt many will appreciate it being told.

  it is telling for several reasons; it highlights the fact that the watchtower organization can expel and marginalize anyone for literally anything if they are crossed.

  they did that to ray franz back in the early 1980s and they recently have done it to these fine folks.. there are some six pieces of documentation in the account and it is in some ways a complicated mess, but it really boils down to a couple of active witnesses informing on someone to the elders.
