What would happen if two legally married, same sex, people wished to become JW's ?
Absolutely not!
This organization is designed to force out homosexuality.
Pedophilia can be worked around however.
Am I being sarcastic to make my point? Yes.

Paranoia of today's WT study!
by stuckinarut2 inthe wt study for sept 7th just breeds such a spirit of paranoia!.
using old biblical references just so as to prevent anyone from using critical thinking skills and analysing the "truth".. then using incorrect, leading reasoning to paint any who "think outside of the box" of the org as "apostate".... pure manipulation!.

Yes Data-Dog, I looked ahead to next week and saw that picture.
Notice that the apostates signs dont SAY anything? They arent going to help the cause any by giving a valid complaint free air time in the Watchtower!
Thus a bunch of untucked shirts and signs that say nothing!

New "The List" of... Times when JW's thought it was the end and it wasn't...
by ILoveTTATT ini think that there should be a list of the times when a certain world event got jw's thinking "this has got to be it!
the start of armageddon!".
it would be nice to have screenshots of twitter/facebook comments from actual jw's.... then come back to it 5, 10, 15 years from now and just say... nope... just another crisis in the world.... just this year there have been two:.

Governing Body Worship in the WT: July 15th, 2014 issue
by Oubliette inthe july 15th, 2014 issue of the watchtower has the "life story" of gb member gerrit losch on pages 17-22.. think about it.
this losch love-fest is 6 pages of the current wt!.
that's nearly 20% of the ragazine.. is this the beginning of a series of idolatrous articles indoctrinating jws with gb worship?

Yes I noticed that too.
The article on Losch was 6 pages long.
Good grief, even the the study articles arent that long!

stuckinarut, what kind of comments did you hear (if it is not private that is - I dont want to pry)?
I guess there must be an urgent sense on the part of those doing the writing to squelch freedom of speech AND make those who dare speak freely look "suspicious".

Yes Oubilette you are so right....
it reminds me of in court where a lawyer says something they know they shouldnt and the opposing lawyer objects but - its in the minds of the jurors.
Which is why they do it of course.
Same as the writers of the Watchtower.
I was so very struck by that today!

Interesting point Oubliette.
Worried about these ones in the congregation?
There was a disclaimer towards the end saying that would want to entertain "baseless" suspicisions of brothers and sisters in the congregation.
So who gets to decide whats "baseless"?

A religion that started in 1914 similar to JW's with millions of adherents!!!!
by yadda yadda 2 iniglesia ni cristo!
founded in 1914 with millions of members and similar doctrines to the jw's, maybe jesus selected them instead of jw's lol!.

Their website does a better job of heralding 1914 as a cardinal year.
I still say the GB's attempt this year is to "herald" it while downplaying it.
If that is at all possible, JWs will find a way since they are masters at double speak.
