  New Letter: Announcements and Reminders

  by Brian J in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  letter dated 1/1/2018.

  i know they are trying to simplify but it all is such a confusing mess.... forms, dates, calculators, committees, logins, publisher record cards.....jesus would barf.

  to all bodies of elders re: announcements and reminders dear brothers: in an effort to reduce the number of letters sent to all bodies of elders and congregations, most announcements from the branch office will now be conveyed to congregations by means of the announcements and reminders (s-147) form.

  By your own actions and views the organisation. You hold dear would consider you a weak and dangerous person.

  The JWs are STATISTICALLY poor and uneducated. Check out the PEW studies.

  As for being automatons, go read up on 607 bce and see what happens if you refuse to disagree with the evidence....

  you will no doubt be able to smoke as many cigars as your disfellowshiped apostate ass wishes to....

  We live in the Information Age. Sadly not everyone can critically appraise the information.

  Pacifism is Morally Indefensible

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been surprised recently to see so much support by ex-jws for the watchtower's refusal to fight and kill.

  in my opinion it is a vice masquerading as a virtue.

  of course war should always be a last resort but there are occasions that it has to be done.

  I now wear my poppy with pride.

  War is evil, but so is genocide and injustices. For those that give and gave their lives for us, how dare we denounce them and declare the upper moral ground.

  Just to add my few cents......there is nothing wrong with thinking too much!

  However it is good to find mechanisms of cognitive ‘wind down’. For me I love documentaries, podcasts or video games. They require enough brain engagement that they prove a nice distraction and work well.
