  Intriguing - but Unsubstantiated!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to one source on a western european 'apostate' website, the org's plan is to abandon the name "jehovah's witnesses" in the future, and replace it with "worshippers of jehovah.".

  http://www.bruderinfo-aktuell.de/index.php/fixnews/#comment-4313 .

  the gist of the account appears to be a repeat of rutherford's re-branding and debunking of old predictions made by the previous shower of fakers.

  I am entirely convinced they could change their name to "JoHoz Zombies" and 90% of them wouldn't bat an eye.

  It would be a rich spiritual blessing/the celestial chariot moving forward/the End must be soooooooo close.

  No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'

  by wizzstick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?

  )- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.

  wow.

  Ok. . . don't have time to go through this entire thread.. . .

  But has anyone mentioned that while someone wearing "tight pants" will no longer have the "privilege" of engaging in field service . . .

  That even convicted pedophiles are not sanctioned in this way?

  Despite a 'number' of similar projects being pulled, the Chelmsford Project will continue...

  this article suggests that there are projects being halted, but chelmsford isn't one of them.

  can someone from the uk tell me if this article was written by a reputable and known publisher?

  plans for huge jehovah's witnesses hq continues.

  Hell, having a couple Bethelites in a construction trailer "guarding" the property could be considered "construction" as far as the society is concerned.

  How many of us are 'perfectionists'?

  by FayeDunaway in

  i made a medium level mistake at work today, and when i make mistakes it really shakes me up and takes me a long time to recover.

  it completely rattles me, makes me feel awful about myself.

  my mind keeps going back to the mistake reliving how i could have let it happen.

  Belief in God Can Be Turned Off Like a Light Switch

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  researchers in york used magnetic stimulation to target an area of the brain called the medial frontal cortex in a group of volunteers.

  a control group received a sham treatment.. both groups were asked to think about death.

  the group who experienced the magnetic energy reported 32.8% less belief in angels, god and heaven.. when faced with difficult challenges people often take refuge in ideology.

  Maybe targeting another part of the brain could produce the opposite effect of increased belief in God. -SBF

  I believe researchers have done this already, with some success. . .

  However, I also recall a video of them trying it on Richard Dawkins -- and it didn't work!

  Child Discipline, new article to address Jackson's Royal Commission testimony

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have published a new article at watchtower corporal punishment, as a response to the testimony that geoff jackson gave at the royal commission.

  it includes the relevant part of the transcript, along with a string of watchtower quotes to show that what he presented was not accurate, and that watchtower translates rod as a literal implement to hit children with.

  I didn't think jwfacts.com could be made any better.

  This article did just that!

  Great job.

  Right now?

  This is REALLY boring, but good.

  I'm listening to KAZU classical over the internet. Really great classical for people who don't want just "light classical." Excellent station.

  Cult or Religion

  by Richard C B in

  1. watchtower

  what is a cult and what is a religion?

  its open to debate.

  who has the authority to say for certain what is a cult and what is a religion?

  The clincher for me (as far as JWs being a cult) is that you can't make a conscientious decision to leave without losing your friends, family, everything. You can't just walk away.

  All the other stuff they do, the behavior control, information control etc. . . there are lots of groups that employ these tactics, and persons may or may not consider them cults.

  Ok. So yes, I have read through this thread.

  I have some thoughts on this.

  However, due to the fact that I have a self-imposed ban regarding commenting on this genre of thread.. . . .
