  Even though I'm not a JWR refugee, I was on JWR as well under the name TIMEQUAKE (another Vonnegut novel). In the beginning I posted a little, but in the past year or so I was just popping over sporadically, taking a look, and giving a "thanks" every now and then.

  The reason I signed up there a few years back was just for a change of pace.

  JWN (or JWC) is a lot like New York City: fast-paced, lots of amazing stuff too look at in every direction, lots of really great, diverse people (as well as a few weirdos talking to themselves). There's also the occasional sidewalk scuffle; but like in NY, I usually just cross to the other side of the street.

  JWR was a little more like Club Med: a much slower, relaxed vibe, cool people, and amazing frozen Margaritas I think that up until (but certainly not including) the End they really created a great place for "recovery."

  Anyway, welcome everybody! I think it'll be great to have you guys in the mix.

  Best,

  JW TV, this month about evolution

  by bohm in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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?

  by megabyte_vijay in

  2. beliefs

  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.

  The last video in the 2016 convention...

  by problemaddict 2 in

  1. watchtower

  ...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.
