  Pale.Emperor Summons Some Demons

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  remember when we were jws and all loved to hear demon stories?

  and then there was always that paranoid person that would shut us up "in case they're listening"?

  and the resident crazy every congregation seems to have that claims to have been possessed at some point?.

  Pale, I am sorry you feel such a failure at the demon summoning but your picture of the witch burning the Bible is a great photograph. Well done!

  Particularly I noticed #4 on Bournes list.

  JWs are known (at least by me) for having terrible diets.

  The leadership does nothing to educate them about how to pick a healthy diet nor does it encourage them to even consider it.

  What’s The Worst Thing About Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses brag about their brotherhood and incredible love that exists within the organization.

  they say they are really the only true religion.

  is the jw religion the closest thing to jesus christ himself?.

  Worst thing?

  The arrogance at the top.

  The blind belief at the bottom.

  Was it Rutherford who said, "keep them busy"?

  When I was in, I always found the schedule grueling but felt guilty if I didn't attend everything, read everything, meet every goal and so on because I thought it was what Jehovah wanted.

  I felt JUBILANT whenever anything was canceled or compressed (and then I would feel guilty about being happy).

  I remember when they canceled the book study, thinking about all the years of effort to BE there for the book study and one casual wave of the hand and it simply didnt matter anymore.

  Is The Watchtower Society Just Copying The Mormon's Model?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was a faithful jw i was pretty much obsessed with the mormon religion.

  to me it was like lord of the rings.

  i knew the characters, the history, the events, the joseph smith stories, the religion's history etc etc etc and i long suspected even then that the watchtower society has been copying certain things from the lds church.. for example, the first thing i noticed was when the book study was dropped and family worship was started.

  A few years back we had a discussion about the JW website as compared to the LDS website.

  There were many similarities noted and someone even presented some pretty compelling evidence that both religions used the same marketing research company to help with branding.

  Even down to the two little created characters, what are their names, Caleb and Sophia? Sorry, cant remember but the point was that the similarities were too great to fall into the realm of coincidence and the funny thing was the LDS ideas hit the internet first making the JWs the followers!

  You make some great points pale E and thanks for reminding me about it!
