JWs AND THE OCCULT!
by ADJUSTMENTS inhttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pcvzpebrkxg.
to go along with this video if you look closely at any cover of the latest wt or aw magazines you will always find (if you take your time) a pyramid or triangle in some shape or form even if it is not completely symmetrical, check it out on the jw website.
also virtually all kingdom hall exteriors will have a pyramid or triangle shaped roof, take a look at your local hall or google kingdom halls.

i am soooo glad to be out, wow we are lucky. The walls are up, the fear is up....they literally list things 'apostates' will do and say such as attacking their new version of a 2000 year old book. Wow, it is such a mess, just glad I'm out....
it is funny how they are trying to give them a revised picture of a scary, evil.... apostate. it has gone from someone who wants to lead people away from true worship in order to redirect worship to a false god, and now become a description of someone who questions or discusses the changes the GB make. Any JW's seeing people who dare to ponder on or question the GB's desicions will ve considered apostate, that never used to be the case. ut it makes sense for them as a cult, if they say apostates want to redirect worship......nobody will recognise that in an 'apostate' because it isn't done.
They are literally taking the organisation underground, more fundemental, further into the darkness and far from normality.
i get quite annoyed at the stupidity of the sheep nowadays, this is obvious mind control...... if they wuestion the leader they are evil.... it is like a bad movie plot! you would sit watching the movie saying "that wouldn't work on humans!" and yet here it is.....

First indisputable link between aluminum and alzheimer's
by EndofMysteries inhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140212093300.htm.
elevated brain aluminium, early onset alzheimer's disease in an individual occupationally exposed to aluminiumdate:february 12, 2014 source:keele university summary:research has shown for the first time that an individual who was exposed to aluminum at work and died of alzheimers disease had high levels of aluminum in the brain.
while aluminum is a known neurotoxin and occupational exposure to aluminum has been implicated in neurological disease, including alzheimers disease, this finding is believed to be the first record of a direct link between alzheimers disease and elevated brain aluminum following occupational exposure to the metal.

Need advice, really wanna play COD
by DuvanMuvan inwell my ps3 is downstairs because i had no idea how good games looked on tvs that weren't older than you are and i've run into a problem.
my mum doesn't know that i have "bad" games like cod, gta 5, legend of zelda and final fantasy (yeah ik last two aren't that bad but loads of religious stuff and magic) and it's getting harder to keep it a secret.. i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i should go about this.
should i just wait a while and slowly introduce the idea to my mum that i play these games or should i just come out and play them and act like it'a nothing?.

I personally will keep encouraging people to be open minded and critically appraise their religious beliefs. All the things I wish someone told me.
Thank you minimus for warning us that some people will not listen, very useful to have a thread on this.

Ive followed the pattern!!
by Jon Preston inso the wt must be well versed in understanding patterns in us faders.
first you comment less, less service, less meeting attendance, then you remove yourself from the school, etc etc.
is there a psychological aspect to this from a non jw point?.

"....you will realise that not everyone will share that opinion."
Had you just said this in your title, I personally wouldn't have taken an interest in what seems a very obvious statement, but you didn't say anything near this minimus, you said....
"Don't Expect This Site To Change Anybody's Religious Opinion"
That is a bit different to saying ...not everyone......will respond to your evidence and reason, which really didn't need saying.... We all left loved ones behind in an irrational, illogical, false belief system. What you said was very negative, very pessimistic and innacurate. i clicked on it interested in your reason for saying it, only you didn't have a reason, just an opinion and now you just keep dodging away from what you initially said.
Instead of constantly changing what you claim to have meant, why not just admit "whoops that was a bit much, must have been a bad day!"

good question..... The JW's are an authoritarian group however. Most religions are formed on a relationship of teaching and spiritual interaction. People attend meetings as JW's to receive instructions. Their is no room for opinion in such a dictatorial group and this is maintained via authoritarian structure. why is evolution not true? because you have been told it is not! Watchtower really offers very little but this, if you removed it, what would be left? Jews have rabbi's, but rabbi's do not police their followers like elders do, they 'teach' and discuss the bible.
Lastly Watchtower is again different in what it teaches, follow us or die. the punishment of death is serious and they use this to harvest control and fear, this again is to maintain their authority. few religions teach global genocide of the disobedient. for WT to relax the religion, they would have to dilute the threat. they won't do that for it will cost the, their authority.
This organisation has lots of cash on hand at the end of a recession.They are about to become super rich as they have a history of stock market investment. They are about to become a serious financial institution with REAL power. I think as time goes on they will pay less attention to their religious activity and more to their financial.
They are already giving financial status a priority to promoting their beliefs with reductions in meetings, literature, assemblies, bethels, overseer positions, rbc teams.... these are all overheads. there is no justification in removing them, without questioning the spirit directed decision of them existing in the first place..... what has changed? my opinion....their goals have.... from being prophets, to the profit$....
