my wife and i are not religious nor do we want to be.
we are very set in our spiritual beliefs.
we have worked with a jw who's family have been like a part of our family for 6 years.
When I decided the watchtower cult wasn't for me, my JW wife left me and has connived to marry another JW.
Do not be under illusion, The JWs shun their own family for refusing to be JWs. Their own family!!
Either you are trolling us, or you do not believe the gravity of your situation.
Do what you will, but please do not insult our intelligence by saying you need help and then denying it.

Dano - Well, you will make your own mind up, mate.
Just beware of the dangerous nature of the cult if not your 'friends'. Don't let your investment in them colour your judgement.
Over to you, geezer.

My question is, do you think they want to convert my children?
Either that, or they want to 'count time(tm)' on the report they give to their leaders. They need to fill a quota of reported time or be looked down upon. Talking to and taking your kids to meetings counts as 'time(tm)'. The more 'time(tm)' they count is the less they are looked down upon.
But, beware. The meetings(tm) and 'studues(tm)' will damage your children's minds.
Without ever having a discussion with the JW family, what do you think their goal is?
It will be Kudos for them. Probably to get accolades for getting converts - which is rare. It will help the leaders look good in front of their leaders (the Circuit Overseer(tm) ) with all the extra 'time(tm)' spent in 'ministry(tm)'.
Could it be harmless?
To the extreme. Not only to the mind but the Jehovah's witness organisation is riddled with child molesters and sexual predators. Get those kids away from there NOW!
See the Australian Royal Commission where this evil cover up was exposed.
Or do you think they hope they can get them into the church?
Yes.
I just don't know what to expect going forward. Help!
The best help I can give is to get your kids away from that dangerous environment IMMEDIATELY!
We are forever grateful to have them in our kids lives.
That's fine. Be grateful. Draw the line at that point. Keep your kids out of the danger that infests the JW cult (no. it isn't a proper religion).
where does one begin ?.
jehovah`s witnesses pride themselves as being a bible based religion ,that their beliefs and practices are all bible based ?.
words & phrases jehovah`s witnesses use or have used that are not in the bible.. organization.

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.
Joey - I can imagine those of you who were elders take with you herd control techniques
No more than any other Jobo. The Elder's schools were absolute crap. they haven't helped me with any techniques. I wish they had.
and just maybe also a lust for power
Not at all. Maybe for some. I just wanted to serve Jehovah(tm) and be a real help to the congregation. I do know of some Elders that were bullies...they are still in the Jobo cult now!
I get lustful thoughts though but that's just me....nothing to do with being a Jobo.
I still can't think of much positive stuff from being a Jobo.
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?
Truthy - i was thinking of how to reply to such a statement.
Once the GovBod (piss be upon them), have spoken, a PIMI Jobo will not allow anything to upskittle what their drunken masters have declared.
I mean, I'm not saying give up; rather I think you're better off talking to a brick wall.
Many Jobos are wilfully ignorant.
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.
Hello, Searchy. Welcome to the freedom of an open mind.
Cofty is 100% correct.
Smidster - I`m sorry my friend but you are soon going to find out who your real true friends are ,and they wont be who you think they are .
Also 100% correct.
They are not interested in 'helping' you. They will rather try to silence you. Why? Imagine if your questions 'stumbled(tm)' other cult members. Why, then there would be less money going to fight lawsuits where the GovBod (P.B.O.T.T.), are protecting paedophiles.
Mate, beware!

I have a lot of hatred for people and things. Thank you Jobo-corporation.
What will be their new plan?
To continue to aid and abet child molestation, protect paedophiles, make money to protect their like minded paedophiles and live in luxury.
Tomo the 4th will be lolling around in a drunken stupor.
...at 1 peter 3:15 it says that if someone asks a christian about their christian hope, they should always be ready to explain it - with mildness & deep respect.
may i ask you about just one belief which jw's have?.
jw's have been instructed that god & jesus personally selected mr. rutherford and several of his associates as the first 'faithful slave' 101 dalmations years ago, in 1919. .
101 dalmations
This is more believable as a story than the tripe the Jobos trot out.
