As soon as you say something that disputes or disagrees with JW doctrine (whether Biblical or not) most JW's will just refuse to listen. The pain of the cognitive dissonance is just too severe.

Do you still debate with JWs?
by punkofnice ini was talking to an ex-jw.
not been out as long as i have.. cut a long story short, i came to realise that i can no longer be bothered to debate jws if (on the rare occasion), i have encountered them.. i think that because i am somewhere circling a nihilistic atheist it seems pointless.
i just don't have the energy because i rarely even think about jw related garbage.

Ginge then told us we need to save water from his mansion with 16 bathrooms.
It should be pretty obvious what the problem really is with someone that needs 16 bathrooms.
(Full of ...........)

With a whimper, not a bang
by JeffT inthe thread about old timers got me thinking about trends i see with the watchtower.
i've changed my opinion about where the organization stands.
when i joined the religion in 1973 it was dynamic, even the small congregation i attended sent out three or four pioneers.

It must be tough when you're the #2 son all of your life. His only ticket to stardom was to kill off the older brother. Fast forward and now he's got some 2nd fiddle starlet to play the fiddle for his sad song.
Losers. (Just because you have cash does not make you anything more than that.)

I would not be surprised if Israel finds all this as a good excuse to stop Iran from continuing to pursue nuclear capability. Israel is kinda like the JWism. They really think they are God's Special People. But, they have BIG GUNS to kick ass. (JWs only have lawyers.)

J Dublethink
by LoveUniHateExams ini'm just thinking of examples of jw doublethink.. here's one - jws will tell a bible study or unbaptised publisher that there is no hierarchy within the org.
they typically remark on christendom's hierarchy but then say 'we are all brothers'.
but as a person gets further into the cult, jws will constantly stress the need to obey the governing body.. jw hierarchy .

#4 -- Inactive agnostic.
Convinced the WT bOrg does not have The Truth(®) but still have lingering thoughts about a Higher Power somewhere, somehow involved in it all. Just haven't really been shown any hard evidence to make a convincing argument.

Announcement coming soon:
It was at the 1990 Cedar Point "Somewhere in our dreams" convention that it was pointed out that the works of the modern day locust would soon draw to a close. In that end we see the end of the publishing of the Asleep magazine has now arrived. We rejoice with you in seeing this further understanding carried forth.Surely the Service Dept has someone reading this boards to find great ideas like this on how to spin this shit. Think about it! We are like their free polling numbers.

Bathing Daily Doesn’t Help The Planet
by minimus inthe new york times as well as other news agencies are reporting that in order to help save the planet we should limit our daily bathing.
they say daily bathing really because popular in the 20th century because elites decided to impress and use petroleum based soaps and take advantage of their indoor plumbing.
a lot of this daily bathing ritual was just for show.

Bathing only once/week would surely help with social distancing and lower covid transmission rates.
