  There are a few different ways to define love. Another definition of love is 'willing servitude'.

  By loving us, does that mean that God serves us?

  WT vs The Simpson's

  by joey jojo in

  for an organisation that has made a lot of predictions, the wts does not exactly have an impressive record of getting it right.

  its probably impossible to count the number of trees that have been killed and turned into paper pulp for the sake of millions of pages of false prophecies that have been printed.

  on the other hand, the cartoon show, the simpson's has accurately predicted some interesting events, years in advance without the death of one tree.

  To name a few,

  Donald Trump becoming president in the exact year it happened. This episode aired in 2000, 16 yrs before he became president.

  Siegfried and Roy being mauled by a white tiger, 10 years before it happened.

  The discovery of a 3 eyed fish close to a nuclear reactor.

  Smart watches.

  Auto correction for iPhones.

  The shard building in London.

  Maybe the Simpson's writers are the real Faithful and Discreet Slave? 🤔

  More fear-mongering in Nov. 2019 WT

  first of all, there's a new imaginary picture of jws during the great tribulation:.

  then there's a picture of a jw family refusing to listen to "apostate lies" via pre-programed, self imposed information control:.

  the description says:.

  I would like to present another angle that makes all of this seem even more messed up.

  Ever since I was a kid in the seventies we were taught to expect persecution and a general expectation that as gods chosen ones that life would be tough.

  With that said, why the hell do JW's continue to get married and have children knowing that there is a 100 % chance that those children will suffer because of their faith?

  I mean, the end is sooooo close isn't it? Can't everyone just keep their pants on for a little while - really, the new system isn't around the corner, we're at the corner, there's only moments left!!!

  JW's are the ones telling the whole world how bad it is, how sick this system is and warning about all the dangers lurking in every dark corner. Don't get educated, there's no time - it's too dangerous spiritually!!

  Instead, make sure you have several children that Satan can attack and that he can use as leverage to attack you, because that makes total sense.

  Sit in that bunker with your kids watching caleb and Sophia videos until the bad men come along and rip your frightened children out of your arms.

  Hi Smiddy,

  The game cabinets and the screen look almost exactly the same as the world famous game called Mario. The artwork with the bricks and questions mark is a rip-off.

  I had to look twice because I thought the word Madrid was Mario because the font is so close.

  I would love to know what the context of these video games are all about.

  This Forum is used by Bethel rodents to address member doubts in future magazine studies

  by Tenacious in

  2. scandals

  don't you find it interesting how some topics and explanations on this board are sometimes addressed in magazine studies?.

  for example, i remember commenting (i'm sure it had been mentioned many times before) not too long ago about how the organization uses the "spirit led" phrase in their baptism question.

  and this naturally tells members they are indeed claiming divine guidance.

  Companies pay a lot of money for market research.

  This site is free market research for the writing committee at HQ, with every aspect of living as a jw, leaving the org and everything in between discussed in depth.

  Contributors to this forum have provided a crystal clear picture as to what it means to be a jw and the reasons one may have for leaving.

  I'm not saying that the org let's forums like this dictate their policy but it would be surprising if they didn't take notes.

  All companies want to know what their stake holders are thinking.

  Is the Governing Body under estimating the volume of those waking up?

  by I believe in overlapping in

  with all the scandals of the organization, it would .

  be sound and logical from a human or strategic viewpoint,.

  that they loosen the reins of control and be more honest with its members.

  The GB are consolidating the org. into a streamlined, low cost undertaking because it makes sense, not necessarily because numbers are dropping.

  I speak to old friends still in and I have responses ranging from those that agree with me, but still remain in, to those that now refuse to speak to me even though I am not DF'd, marked or disassociated.

  Some people haven't even thought about the overlapping generation stuff, let alone all the other changes and scandals over the last decade and if they have, they find a way to reconcile it.

  The same old catch phrases, Trust in Jehovah, Wait on Jehovah etc.

  The Gb has simply made it too inconvenient for the average JW to leave, it is primarily for social/ family reasons most JW's stay.

  My own mother would rather see my death

  by GetMeOutofHere in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  apparently, according to my mother, the worst thing that could happen to me is not dying in a car crash or getting cancer but instead would be me leaving jehovah and his organization.

  i of course realize this is the position of jws but to hear my own mother verbalize it on a gentle walk in the woods was painful to say the least.

  needless to say, i cannot tell her i am mentally out..

  When I was in my mid twenties I worked with a jw slightly younger than me who had been recently disfellowshipped.

  I happened to be in the same cong as his mother and I was talking to her one night at the meeting and asked her how it was going with her df'd son.

  She told me that her son 'was nothing, just a nothing'.

  Hard to believe a mother that carried her son in her own body could say something like that.

  Did one of the governing body die?

  TM the Third hasn't died but his career as a member of the GB might have.
