  Jws are taught that Big J has an organisation (which is now and then disciplined, deserted or rewarded) because it seems there is perpetual repetition of the phrase "God's people" in the Watchtower.

  This is of course a total fiction, It is impossible to identify Jehovah let alone "his people" or what he does with them.

  The number of extremely poor people in the world, reduced by more than half between 1981 and 2013, mainly in China

  a review of global poverty in the economist makes the claim:.

  quote: "the world bank, which tracks poverty, estimates that 1.9bn people were extremely poor in 1981. in that year, the poor accounted for 42% of the world’s population.

  in 2013, by contrast, only 767m people were poor.

  Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?

  i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.

  once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

  The real answer to the missing person at the board table is that they are waiting for the return of Elvis.

  "There is no leader in the governing body, it is our leader Jesus who tells them what to do." Really?

  Since when did Jesus start to talk to the Watchtower organisation? If this is true; how does he talk to them? What has Jesus ever said to anybody in the last 140 years? Is it then Jesus who is telling them porky pies about 1914, 1919, 1925, 1975 etc or are these the bits which the Watchtower leaders have concocted themselves? What's the use of having an invisible leader who misleads? Jesus should be sacked!

  What do You Think About Hybrid and Electric Cars?

  by Village Idiot in

  1. social
  2. current

  battery technology has been making leaps and bounds in affordability and energy output throughout the past decade.

  while pure electric cars currently have limited range, the near future holds prospects for longer ranges.

  hybrids, and recently plug in hybrids, have a mileage of up to 50 mpg* giving them a range of 500 miles from a ten gallon gas tank.

  As it happens I have just test driven half a dozen all electric and hybrid cars for comparison and concluded that the Prius has the best compromises for town and long dIstance use. I don't think it looks that pretty but after a couple of weeks of use it gets 73.3 miles to the UK gallon. It has an1800cc petrol engine, it generates its own electricity from the engine and regenerative braking so it never needs plugging in anywhere. The other bonus is that it is really quiet at any speed. I managed to get about three thousand pounds off by using other garages offers as a bargaining point.

  Deflated after realising my inactive friends are POMI

  by Isambard Crater in

  2. friends

  i'm going through an extremely hard and dark time right now and really yearned for the support of people i know in the flesh, and i really thought revealing my serious doubts and frustrations to a few close friends who became inactive several years ago would help.

  they attend the memorial and no more than 2 sunday meetings each year, and haven't preached for several years, so are still technically baptised-but-inactive.. it broke my heart or at least left me feeling very alone when they all (they don't know each other and live in separate areas) told me that they can sympathise but reckon i should stay with "the truth" (their words, still) as it's the best thing there is.

  it's like i'd discovered a new group of people, not pimo (physically in, mentally out, like me) but pomi (physically out, mentally in).

  Isambard, it's hard to leave the org-- as you knew it would be from the start-- and your friends have now disappointed you. I remember having similar hopes of some of my friends, instead I was shunned.

  Well you at least are going in the right direction even if they are mentally snagged on WT brainwashing. So count yourself lucky to be free and don't expect anything back from those who are still under the WT delusion.

  Today's W.T on GB not being inspired is having ZERO impact on most J.W's

  by Isambard Crater in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the congregation i attend had it's watchtower study on thursday night because of l.d.c work this week-end, and another congregation i have some not very spiritual friends in had their watchtower study on wednesday.

  from what i have delicately prised out of people, the congregations loved the watchtower study this week, saying it was so encouraging and all the usual stuff, with no-one seeming to realise the g.b.

  said they're not inspired, so the spirit int he past has moved them to teach wrong things, and all the other ideas excellently summed up on reddit.. today's watchtower will wash over the heads of most j.w's like it never even happened, the all remaining as loyal as ever, and it makes me so, so sad..

  But as we know, what they say is not necessarily what they want the flock to believe.
