  JW TV, this month about evolution

  by bohm in

  this month the last segment is about evolution.

  one is with a sister with a university education in biochemistry who (presumably) teaches at a highschool or public school.

  she says that left handedness of amino acids indicates life was created because "if it was a random process half would be right handed and half left handed" (paraphrased).

  If they so desired, the society could produce a PhD each month who believes the Earth is flat.

  Whoop-dee-f'ing-doo.

  Does GB 2.0 Have The Guts To Publish A Book On Revelation?

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so we all know that the old revelation book is "old light" and the gb would like to sweep it under the rug.

  however, since they have been reinterpreting many of the parables from the gospels, many jws are confused as to how it all fits in with the book of revelation.

  plus, they have been emphasizing the nearness of the end and the gt.

  A new book on Revelation: no.

  A new, 8-hour video miniseries released on JW Broadcasting: yes!

  About Shunning WT means Double Tongue?

  https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/shunning/.

  those who were baptized as jehovah’s witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned.

  in fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest.. we do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin.

  Yep. They maintain two levels of information, something that cults do.

  by problemaddict 2 in

  ...is an epic triumph is emotional manipulation.

  bringing together all of the stories they told thus far and placing them int he "new world" complete with the little boy who was killed in a car accident coming back from the dead.. i have a good friend who is stuck in with family and plays the role.

  he said everyone was crying, and the people next to him rated the videos by how many tissues they needed to dry their eyes.

  ORPHANCROW - Lol at that Epica album cover!

  Had that album been in my record collection when I was a young adult, my Gestapo elders would have had me throw it out along with all my Grateful Dead albums for being "demonic looking."

  Amazing.

  JW Broadcasting reeks of desperation

  again, i'm a decade removed from the faith.

  i'm catching up now, and can't believe what i'm seeing.. i get that jw leadership faced a dilemma.

  there is no intellectual apparatus within the faith.

  I think I figured out their strategy with all the creepy videos

  by JeffT in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i came in during all the hype over 1975. the predictions about that date were the real driver behind all their activity.

  since then, they haven't had a good goad to prod the sheep.

  they seem to be smart enough not to try another date.. i think they plan to use fear instead.

  I think you nailed it Jeff.

  Same fear factor without any of that embarrassing date setting.
