There is one guy who noticed how ignorant the JW's are from their comments. He could see they are are oblivious to how journalism works.
Good job Talesin
this article is starting to go global now i think ( please everyone keep it spreading) how are the jw's reacting to it?
i don't mean the offical spokesman statement, i mean the individual jw's that we know.. what are they saying about it?.

this weekend at our special assembly day, let gods will take place the final talk was a head shaker.... the bethel speaker was quite entertaining when he joked @ the shortcomings of the elders.
he also made us laugh with the comment "we were told the end of the system is right around the corner, but we've found its been more than that, we've been around the blocks a few times.
" he told the young ones to make the truth their own by researching in the wtbts publication (only).
Welcome mommietiger!!!
"ok to have our own thoughts on the publications as long as we share it with our immediate family only....and as long as its harmony with the Slave."
How in the world do they get away with such a stupid, contradictory statements?
today i got accepted to a christian university and we had an earthquake!!!
the college is located here in va and is the largest christian university in the us.
my husband is worried about the money but the fact that it's liberty u upsets him more.. otherwise things are good between us things are tense on meeting days.
Well things got pretty rocky after my last update . We got into a number of arguments. As of this weekend we're on the mend. We didn't go away I'm planning on taking the trip without my husband. I feel I need to be in NYC for at least a week or more and his work makes that difficult. Plus going without him makes it possible to meetup with exJWs. I don't want to see him go off to a meeting anyway it'll just bum me out. NYC always renews me so I think it will be better without him. I can do some soul searching.
My college plans are postponed. I've decided to apply to other schools. Right now I don't want anything to do with the Bible other than to help wake a witness up or keep someone who wants to be a christian away from JW's. The college I was accepted to is a Christian university & right now my views are rapidly changing so a secular school would be better.
The changes occuring in me & my life are happening so fast. I feel like I can't keep up at times. Right after I left I was sure I didn't want to be exclusive to one religion but I still considered myself a Christian. Now I'm so turned off by the Bible. The homophobic views, the chauvinism, the bloodshed, not to mention all the horrible things done by religions who profess it's the word of God. I love people and variety so right now I think the Bible & I are no longer compatible. I like Jesus and the good principles found in it but that's about it. So that leaves me in limbo as to whether there is a God. I'm on the fence right now. Agnosticism seems to be a better fit for how I feel right now. This is so strange since March I went from JW othersheep to JW anointed to JW apostate & born again Christian to whatever I am now.

i believe the witnesses keep people in the cult by means of using guilt as a tool.
it seems people who leave the religion tend to stop using meds and anti-depressants.
exjws seem more content and less filled with worry and guilt.. what do you think?.
This should be one of the baprism questions "Do you recognize that as one of Jehovah's Witnesses you will live a life riddled with guilt?"
Guilt over being jealous over positive experiences, guilt over feeling I hate reading or listening to how wonderful everyone else is, guilt over wanting to stay in from service, guilt over thibking the meeting was so boring, guilt over wanting oral sex from your husband, guilt over exercising instead of reading my magazine, guilt over being upset with a sister even though she accused you of being a racist towards prople of your own race,it goes on & on. As a parent you find yourself saying things to your child to induce guilt.
i miss my best friend .

this appeared in 1975; i was 23 at the time.
i don't remember this article and if i had been born in 1975 would the 36-year-old i'd be today be motivated for any reason to research it.. *** w75 11/1 p. 651 insight on the news ***insight on the news pray now, pay later.
the phrase pray now, pay later appeared in a headline of the philadelphia inquirer in reporting on a church experiment due to go into effect shortly.
A JW said "who really carries cash around anyway. What's wrong with keeping up with the times. Also it can add to safety less cash to carry and worry about." So there it is WT can do no wrong. They crap on it's followers and they believe it's manna from heaven.
