  What would you say to a friend who claims to have experienced demons?

  by InterestedOne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my jw friend says she experienced demons act on their own behalf even before she became a jw.

  she supposedly used to be an atheist, but her experience with demons led her to believe in the "spiritual realm" before she ever encountered jw's.

  she says her ex-boyfriend & his friend used to do the ouija board & as a result have a demon following them around.

  Great question. Perhaps ask her details about the stories. And when she starts talking about second hand demon stories, immediately stop her. You just want to discuss her personal experiences. Try to logically analyze her experiences. Get specific details. Did these experiences involve visual or auditory hallucinations? Was it just a "feeling" she got? Try to be the voice of reason and openly ask her if these experiences could be attributed to anything other than "magical" beings. I would also try to have this conversation in person instead of over the phone if possible.

  The Watchtower, Christianity and Cultism

  by Nickolas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you want to upset a jehovah's witness, refer to the watchtower as a sect.

  if you really want to upset a jehovah's witness, refer to the watchtower as a cult.

  that's pretty much a conversation stopper.. the watchtower denigrates the rest of christianity.

  Is Christianity a cult? Yes, it's a cult/sect of Judaism.

  The stories about Jesus in the Bible also portray him as being a prototypical cult leader.

  Thanks for the link. Maybe I'll be able to actually watch the DVD, I can barely stand reading anymore of the Watchtower's crap without wanting to lose my lunch. I think it might not be the best strategy for the Watchtower to put to much camera time on the men behind the curtain (Governing Body). Their relative anonymity over the last few decades seems to have fostered some of the mystique about who's actually leading the religion. The JW's in my family know very little about who is on the Governing Body let alone how many their are. The gaining emphasis put on following these company men might just backfire for the old Watchtower cult.

  most of us posters who are here at the moment cant have failed to notice philidephia ponos got a kicking, the guy had a legitamate point, re elders and ms who are still in and who post here.

  what was his crime ?

  he had the temerity to lable them as hypocrites, which they are.. later on jlp brought pps previous difficultys to light, a fact most posters here were probably ignorant off.. anyway that guy got such a shafting for telling the truth about what happens here, personally i think he should be applauded, because he demonstrated courage in the face of overwhelming adversity, which should help him with dealing with his difficultys in his work place, if he can cope with the adversities he has experienced here, he will have no problems in dealing with his (secular) workplace.. i have only been here for 8 weeks, and within that short timeframe i already see the group dynamics of our time at jwn unfold, i see alliances being forged, the subtle use of language and samantics as posters here seek advantage and seniority, and want to adopt common ground, to advance themselves as leaders and spokesman, this mirrors my 13 years of being a jw, it seems to me that ex elders and servants display the same characteristics, they employed as jw,s and expect them to work here, which they do.doesnt say a lot about jwn.. anyway a young guy, still learning the ropes, gets anhilated here its not much of a recomendation to post is it, ?.

  You're either trolling or you have a serious persecution complex. Have you ever thought about getting some counseling for your anger issues?

  Association: Am i being lied to?

  by roxanesophia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't hesitate to bring up with the girl i study with, my criticisms of the religion, and one of those is the association.

  i keep reading on here that jw's don't make friends outside the cult, and this is what i used as an excuse for stepping further away from being baptized.

  she tells me it's not true, and they can have what ever friends they want.

  It's a sad fact, but JW's will lie to you about many things when they are trying to recruit you into the Cult.

  Mocking of the Organization from JWs

  by NomadSoul in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is what my aunt told me.. once an elder at the closing of the meeting said this about the revised reasoning book with a sarcastic voice.

  "brothers and sisters don't forget to get your copy of the new reasoning book, it has over two hundred revisions!"..

  my aunt swears he said it in a sarcastic mocking tone.. i thought it was funny so i had to ask if anybody else had similar stories..

  I think the Governing Body is delaying revising the Reasoning book until they actually figure out what they believe.

  How many changes have been made to the "generation" teaching since the Reasoning book was last revised in 1989? Why waste money printing new books if they can't figure out what they currently believe.

  Well what the hell is it that makes you all so scared ? Its like YOU are jews living in nazi germany, but you are not, you wont be gassed and put into ovens, can someone please tell me why nearly all of you are terrified ?

  Perhaps your valiant courage will embolden the rest of us, hypocrite. What's your story? Why are you hiding behind the anonymity of the internet? What are you afraid of? Why didn't you register for this forum using your real name?

  i recently began a wonderful relationship with a guy who also happened to be a jw.

  i have learned alot about him and how the religion effects his life and now i am interested in learning more about the religion - but from a beginners' point of view.

  could anyone give me an idea of the basic beliefs and practices of jws?.
