If you the Watchtower offered you a job...

a watchtower exec locates you and asks you fill a position in brookyln.

he thinks that the leaders at the top have lost touch with the "people" and are assembling a team to covertly try to change the "jw culture" to be less rigid.

what would be your reply and why?.

June 15 W/T - "Should Youths Get Baptised?"

by sizemik in

the above mentioned article caught my eye for a couple of reasons .

.. it is obvious to most observers that the children of active jw's provide a potential "large army" and in spite of the attrition rate of jw youths (around 2/3's i believe), it's a resource the borg are keen to maximise.

there tactics appear to be encouraging baptism at an ever younger age.

what is the youngest disoed child ?

When they are charged for child abuse

Hi, new to this forum. Figured I'd let everyone know about my story before I got involved.

by JonathanH in

if you just want the juicy details where i leave, i'll make disclaimer where it begins, if you just want to know what happened with the elders and organization after i realized it wasn't true, i'll mark that seperately.

we didn't do jack shit in service, or in the congregation.

maybe this was how jehovah came about?

Mickey Mouse's summary of today's WT

by Mickey mouse in

even if you're got one foot in the grave, you'd better be working your ass off (for free) for the slave.. if you're feeling stressed, stop everything else in your life and concentrate on the meetings and ministry because those could never be the cause of stress.

oh no.

it's probably all those pesky holidays and recreation stressing you out.. now, can we all spell c.u.l.t?.

my story....

by losecontrol in

well i am new to this, and i must admit that at first i was very opposed to this site.

i grew up being a witness and was warned about looking into apostate things, which is exactly what this site would be that they are referring to.

i always tried to live my life the best that i could under the societys control, and never really got to have any life experiance at all.

Motives Behind JW Lies

by Deeraq in

i know that in religions, they do what they do because it is about politics and money.

those are the motives behind why religions are the way they are and do what they do.

but can someone tell me what would be the motive(s) of jw's lieing and controling their participants (for lack of a better word)?
