WATCHTOWER'S most powerful weapon keeps the disillusioned inside

by TerryWalstrom in

absolute obedience to watchtower cult leaders is only necessary because of coercion and intimidation and the duress of having the shun gun pointed at their head for those jw's who are now awake.

the threat is as real as that of a fully loaded pistol.. .

we are all aware of friends and family who are still inside the kingdom halls with very little actual conviction that they are in the truth.

In the Spanish side is quite easy to be 'awakened', inside and still be happy because we culturally speaking are very gregarious and fun-loving, always some type of a party and we have such a good time at those occasions.
It works for me, it just does. No need for pity here.

Excellent point. In other words you have something to show for it other than the BS. Well from over here in Whiteville, it sucks. My congregation is nothing but drones that form cliques. Let's face it white people don't usually do anything fun besides get drunk and loud. JW's can't really do that much, so...... you are just left with boring, uneducated, stiff people that lack rhythm. LOL! .........( I'm white btw so I can poke fun)

How long can this cult remain with only kids becoming members?

by Crazyguy in

it's become clear that very few from outside the religion are joining anymore.

if only the kids of the people that are already in are the one replacing the members as they die off and 50% let's say of the kids leave then how long can they realistically last before the downturn becomes obvious?.

I've heard from inside family complain8ng that they find interested ones and set up a bible study then never hear from them again. I think they probably look up jws online and find places like this site and run for the hills. - EOM

I heard recently an elder's wife complaining quite vocally that she hasn't had a "stable" bible study in years. She also said she prays to Jehovah for a bible study that is actually a "normal" person.

I found it hilarious myself. It just shows how the borg is only attracting social misfits looking for a community.

What is bothersome though is that they don't listen to themselves when they speak. What does it mean that only people with mental/emotional problems are attracted to your religion? I mean come on.......

Of course we are all interested in what will happen with Australia in the coming years. I think we can expect lower and lower numbers going forward there and New Zealand as well.

I have a hunch that at some point they may actually try to thin the herd.

Their business consultants may point to a lowered membership as equaling a lowered overhead. Less printing,more opportunity for congregation consolidation and property selling etc etc.

They can spin it as a "cleansing" of Jehovah's house. Lol

It won't be obvious until they report reduced numbers and that won't even sink in immediately. Jws are so used to avoiding reality. Maybe thats when they change their message to judgement as a distraction.

It is slowly dwindling.

Unless assets are seized they can live off their property for the rest of our lives.

Last report was 85,000 properties worldwide. That's billions in assets.

Can a Person Resign From Being One of Jehovah’s Witnesses? (JW.org FAQ)

by Da.Furious in

found this in my rss feed of, as new faq on jw.org:.

the answer was .

a person can resign from our organization in two ways:.

xjwsrock

Using that line of reasoning you could say Jehovah's Witnesses can do anything they want.

Can a Jehovah's Witness run naked through the kingdom hall?

Yes. A Jehovah's Witness may make the choice to wear whatever he/she wants. We do not force anyone to wear anything they are uncomfortable with.

Can a Jehovah's Witness have sex with 5 different people in one weekend?

Yes. A Jehovah's Witness may make the choice to have sexual intercourse with whomever he/she wants. We do not attempt to control whether our members lead a moral Christian lifestyle.

Can a Jehovah's Witness worship Satan privately in the library of the kingdom hall during the Watchtower study?

Yes. A Jehovah's Witness may make the choice to worship whoever they would like during the course of a meeting. We do not force people to worship our God Jehovah.

News Flash - Anybody can choose to do anything. If that's all you are saying then you aren't actually saying anything at all. The question then is - What is the Watchtower trying to appear to say?

and Why?

What is Critical Thinking? (Not the distorted view the society teaches)

by stuckinarut2 in

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6olpl5p0fmg.

this great video explains what critical thinking really is, and why it is a skill all humans need to employ in daily life.. the expression had been distorted by the society to something that is negative or wrong, yet that is far from the case.....

xjwsrock

Good job pointing to the solution.

Developing critical thinking skills enables a person to see through all cons and those who seek to control us.

This can happen in religion, business, politics, family, you name it...
