  Is It Normal for a JW to give a Return Visit print-outs of information?

  by Broken Promises in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yesterday i had another visit from a jw who has started calling on me after a few discussions.

  i wrote about her in a previous thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/209531/1/jw-at-my-door-admits-that-shee28099s-had-doubts i'm pretending to be an interested one, and we've had some nice discussions.

  i am trying to get her to research her religion via "innocent" questions i bring up.. i've noticed that each time she calls on me, she's given me printed information.

  Ask her quite innocently if she believes Jesus is her Mediator. Let her research that one.

  just created a site www.jwfacts.com

  by jwfacts in

  i just put together a site that tries to logically show the witnesses are not the true religion.

  just wondering how to get the information out to people that most need it.

  also any ideas on how to get the site found by search engines.

  Whenever I find Watchtower pamphlets littering public places I simply write JWFACTS.COM on them. It's much more productive then throwing them in the trash. It also doesn't come off to an "interested one" as an attack; it's simply a recommendation of a website. I also wonder about the JW who comes back to dump more literature and sees the website address on their precious pamphlets. People are naturally curious, no matter how much an organization tries to suppress these instincts I think there will be some who take a peek at the website.

  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.
