One theme I've noticed on JWN is people mentioning how the JWs don't dig into the deeper things anymore. Instead they keep passing out the same old reheated leftovers over and over and over.

Can you imagine being a good JW especially in the pandemic. Trapped in your house with only WT literature to read? (provided you are following all the other ~~rules~~ uhh I mean suggestions...)

What a horrible religion. Throw a drowning man a waterlogged life-preserver and tell him he isn't aloud to kick his feet.

Basic Blood Questions For Witnesses

by Vanderhoven7 in

basic blood questions for jehovah's witnesses.

where does the bible outlaw blood transfusions?

(acts 15:29 gen.9:4) .

Yea i must have missed that scripture that said of every animal you may eat but as for the blood you must put it into a centrifuge to separate it into separate parts. Some of those parts may be used while others are forbidden. Which parts are which is subject to change.

Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Dress Up For Meetings?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

library.

books & brochures.

who are doing jehovah’s will today?.

The JW MO seems to be; Be different but leave something in place that we can point to to prove we're normal.

Dressing up makes the JW feel special. If they didn't feel special they might start listening to the message. And we know what would happen then.

Anyone here take any chance you get to tell others how dangers the cult is?

by mickbobcat in

i know i have made some uncomfortable at times and others have thanked me for telling them about the cult because some family member is one and they thought it was a bad cult but did not know details.

personally i take every chance i get to tell others about the cult.

.

Nope; I find most non-JWs don't want to hear about it, and there's nobody in the religion I have any interest in saving. I don't even think I'd have any interest in talking to most of my jw friends even if they decided to leave.

When was your last Kingdom Hall meeting?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

i stopped going to kingdom hall meetings about nine years ago.

i was fading for the longest time, refused to go out in field service, dropped out of the ministry school talks, no longer answered at the watchtower study, arrived at the meetings the last second, and left as soon as possible.

i couldn't take attending the meetings any longer.

I don't remember exactly when it was, 20 or so years ago, but my story is a bit spirtual. I am DFed and in an effort to go back I decided to "make the truth my own". In an effort to accomplish that I decided to really study the creation book looking up the references at the library. Just as I was coming to the realization that the creation book was full of it, not one, not two but the next three Sunday public talks were the exact same talk on creation. That was the last meeting I ever went to.

Jehovah`s Credentials Fail or Pass

by smiddy3 in

judging by jehovah gods past dealings with the israelite / jews , i wonder why anybody can take seriously anything that he has promised for the future .. or is it what humans want to believe he has in store for them ?.

during jehovah`s dealings with the israelites they had a leprosy colony in their midst .he didn`t do anything about that .. they had wars that he instigated and supported and people died on both sides of the wars.

israelites as well as the enemy.. he accepted slavery ,did nothing about it .

I feel like the god of the bible is somewhat of a functioning alcoholic. You never quite know what side of the bed he is going to wake up on. You might get promised a trip to Disneyland or you might get smitten.

Or course that opinion could be because there's some truth to Tyler Durdan's quote in Fight Club: "If you're male and you're Christian and living in America, your father is your model for God."

Spend your time learning something that will get you out of your situation.

Lot's of colleges putting their class material online these days.

Find a job with room and board. Working on a cruise ship comes to mind but there must be others.

Start a small business, you can even say it is so you can use it to pioneer.

There's people making money on ebay by fulfilling orders using their prime membership on Amazon.

Whatever you do don't waste your money on useless stuff (like parties and drinking). Use it to make more money.
