  Maybe the alien would feel more at home with JW's than normal humans.

  I've never had an NDE, but I am fascinated by them. There are many YouTube videos with people recounting their NDE experiences. Dr. Raymond Moody wrote a book in 1975 called "Life After Life" in which he explores the phenomenon in detail after interviewing many experiencers.

  I, of course, can offer no explanation for what you're going through. It's hard coping with intense feelings like you have for this woman. The best recommendation I can make is therapy. Be careful who you tell about this, though, because people tend to see you as insane/crazy.

  Joanie the Jehovah (sic) Witness Stripper

  by Mum in

  2. humour

  on youtube, type "joanie the jehovah witness stripper" in the search bar.

  several versions of the song will appear.

  it's hilarious, and, apparently, based on a real life jw who was a neighbor of the song's writer..

  Actually, they used to be Nobodies! Their list of "achievements" is pretty lame. I'm sure they take pride in this fact, showing that they lack "worldly wisdom" but still have the "wisdom" to shun, prompt suicides, and protect child molestors.

  How about having a special undercover mode so PIMOs can browse the site with greater security?

  by Island Man in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  when you visit the site it says jehovahs-witness big and bold.

  a pimo might be browsing the site and a jw might come up behind him unexpectedly and notice he's visiting a site about jws other than jw.org, which can lead to the pimo reported for viewing apostate information.. to help remedy this risk, i was thinking about the possibility of having a button that activates an undercover mode where the title of the site is not prominently displayed so it's not easily apparent to an accidental eavesdropper that it's an apostate website.

  also, the color-scheme and graphics can be different so that it doesn't look like the regular site.

  I think there should be a topic entitled "PIMO Inside Information" so that those still inside can apprise us of what's going on in JW world currently.

  How Do You Know You Are In The Wrong Religion?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i believe this list which many of us worked on needs to see the light of day again...and added to if possible.. you know you are in the wrong religion:1. when the all important question is not: "do you believe in the lord jesus christ?"....but....

  "do you believe in the "faithful and discreet slave" appointed in brooklyn in 1919?"2.

  when you will be refused baptism if: a. you don't believe jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bc (whereas all non-jw scholars, all encyclopedias and all history books say this event took place in 587 bc.)b.

  I believe there are many wrong religions, but most of them don't have such a comprehensive list of wrongs as Watchtower.
  Religion can only be considered right if it improves one's life and motivates him/her to live a life of caring about others and living a life of service (not the JW kind) to humankind.

  If Carey W. Barber were still alive, he'd be in this picture waving the book he sold Muhammad Ali.

  2. experiences

  a pioneer sister, from a neighboring congregation, told us back in 1972, the visiting co, carey w. barber was working their territory and went in to ali's training camp.

  ali was working out in the ring while barber preached to him.

  the 'campaign' was the peace and security book.. .

  For what it's worth, I watched a documentary of a reporter going through Elvis' books at Graceland. The "From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained" orange-covered book (which I remember from the '50's) was among the books apparently owned by Elvis. There was no story about where he acquired it. I also saw a video (on YouTube?) of a JW giving one the the publications to Barack Obama. No matter how big a celebrity one is, the JW's can be counted on to track you down.

  Are you PISSED-OFF with christianity/religion? Watch THE KINGDOM

  by Reasonfirst in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you are pissed-off with christianity and/or religion in general, then you may like this overview of the downfall of the hillsong (pentecostalism) franchise.. it was made by a staff member of sbs an australian tv, who is apparently an ex-hillsong attendee.. the description blurb notes: " marc fennell investigates the successful, but scandal plagued megachurch hillsong, stepping back into the world of pentecostalism that he left behind and asking what happens as the hillsong kingdom crumbles.".

  you can find this report on sbs ondemand.. link: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-program/the-kingdom/2204846147867.

  there are other links on the web to other critical examinations of hillsong's failings, including the failure of pastor brian houston's failure to report his father's (the founder of hillsong) pedophilia.. another australian link is to channel 7's spotlight;.

  I am not sure about Christianity in general as it mostly seems corrupted and far from the teachings of Jesus. However, it is not good to paint all Christians or individual churches with the same brush. I know some very good people who are Christians.

  Is our humanity at stake and we don't know the way out?

  by gavindlt in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in answer to why i think jehovahs witnesses are on the decline which is denied by some......... and highlighting bigger emerging issues of our humanity under threat.. firstly i think this faith is on the decline partly because adherents who claim to have a strong faith i believe, is actually tenuous, extremely fragile and porous far from watertight.. most jw's are hanging on because the alternative is more frightening.. the new reality dictates that there is a real depopulation agenda set by the elites to destroy and control humanity.. covid, the vaccines and lockdowns brought this reality home in a tangible way.

  the climate change narrative, the talk about 15 minute cities, digital currency, alien sighting, food supply control, weather control, health control and natural resource control all point to wef, un and who agendas that can't be dismissed as conspiracy theories any more.. the actual scene of the world is really changing in a dramatic way.. the push for trans-humanism is not fiction.

  the covid 19 vaccine is evidence of biowarfare and that through the mrna technology they are bent on changing our very dna.

  Having been a JW for 17 years, admittedly a long time ago when things were better among them, I must say that I observed that many JW's were (I must put it in context) intellectually challenged, psychologically beaten down, and/or lacking in long-range vision. I am reduced to mostly just feeling sorry for them. They, by and large, are too easy to deceive and take advantage of.

  I saw an interview on YouTube that intrigued me. Glenn Beck was the interviewer, but I forget the name of the interviewee. The interviewee had a glum outlook for the human race, saying there might be two human races in the future, one that was bred to be intellectually challenged and work for the other, bred to be wealthy and controlling. It could be argued that JW's are already almost there.

  How sad! My friend's JW mom drove us to Cincinnati from Dayton to see a Beach Boys concert in 1964. The "rules" seem to get more and more oppressive.
