by tresdecu in

jw
friends

i know some has been posted about leah remini and her split from scientology.

i just wanted to add after finishing it last night, it is a must watch for questioning jws...every episode has familiar situations and parallels that will make jws really think (or squirm).

watch it with someone you want to wake up!!!!

I watched several episodes and really like it

TV commercial seen in the United States, from a Law firm "Asking if you were ever sexually abused by JEHOVAHS WITNESSES, please call".

by Dunedain in

ok, so i don't know if this is "old news", and if this has been seen, and or mentioned already.

if it was, i do apologize, but i feel i have to mention what has been seen on tv, within the past 24 hours.. first off, i would like to say that i did not personally see this commercial.

however, it was seen by someone that i can verify 100% is telling the truth, as it was my own father who saw it.

I am so happy to see the feeding frenzy has begun!

JW Cart Witnessing = ONE BIG JOKE

by Black Man in

jw
friends

was talking to a good buddy of mine a couple days ago (we pioneered and were in bethel together and have both left the cult a few years ago), about the current cart and d. and the consensus was that it is now a complete joke.

was watching a couple witnesses last week sit at a table with their literature display.

no approaching people for conversation, no initiating stimulating dialogue with passerbys, as was encouraged when i "pioneered" back in the day.

I didn't know they had old litter-ature on the carts. Always assumed it was their latest litter-ature. So they just throw in old stuff to get rid of it?

Possum thank you for chiming in and thanks to you and your husband for making video! I thought that this was disrespectful to the natives. Why do JW's dress up in native garb from other countries? It is an insult to many people.

Watchtower Bible & Tract Society: Pretending to Be Alive?

by David_Jay in

according to market analysis, the e-book market has taken a dip in 2015. because companies that publish e-books can (and do) monitor the use of the e-books materials they release, not only their sales but the individual e-book’s use gets tracked.

companies like amazon and kobo as well as nielsen book research in the uk all report that while the format remains popular, sales have dipped more than a quarter last year in some places like britain, and that hard copies of books still are preferred.. amazon (u.s.a.) sales figures give an example of how things are working on the world scene.

for instance non-fiction hard copy printed books sales (including religion) made up a healthy 42% of their purchased books in 2015. in the same category, however, e-books made up only 6% of the sales.. kobo monitored its e-book sales and found that 60% of the electronic versions never even got opened.

This is an interesting topic. I think the cause of the strange changes within the institution of Watchtower is related to a variety of factors, including social media influence, lawsuits, declining membership in the Western world, and increasingly bad publicity.

At the end of the day, the organization is a closed system that has lost all face in the public eye. Internet ready cell phones, accessible to the average person, also don't help JW's to continue pretending.

Disruption is unavoidable in today's day and age. It is in every industry and in every institution. The only thing you can do is either die or adapt. Guess which one JWorg/ Watchtower is doing?

So it's ok for JW men to wear skirts then, or does it depend on whether or not they are in a male skirt wearing country? Would a man in Big Bend, Mississippi be disfellowshipped for cross dressing, but if he were in Samoa or Scottland it would be alright?Or is it ok to wear the traditional skirts as long as you were at an international convention.

I don't get the traditional dress up thing. The average person from those countries does not dress in traditional clothes. Why would they all of a sudden start dressing in traditional clothes at an *American* convention? LMFAO
