  Smart Phones and Tablets Turning JW's Into Dummies

  by scotoma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  look up the article in the wall st journal "how smartphones hijack our minds".

  a flood of evidence has come in that people are outsourcing their thinking to their electronic devices.

  when you feel you will always be able to look up important information on your cell phone you simply don't remember it.

  I cannot imagine how difficult it is to stay focused at a meeting when you have a smart tablet in your lap with easy access to emails, facebook, newspapers, and etc.

  I am jealous.

  Any proof that you come up with will be called "fake news." So, why bother.

  The great 1914 turn around

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i must say there is no other religion in modern times that has lied more to their cult followers than the watchtower company and no more brain dead, gullible cult members than the jdubs.. just three examples.

  when russel was in charge 1914 was prophesied to be the end of the system of things with armageddon and the earthly paradise.

  that didn't happen and poof now 1914 was not the end, oh no, it was the beginning of the end.. the second example, the generation that saw 1914 would not pass away before the end came, which meant in all jdubs minds that paradise had to be here in the late 1990's.

  Did anyone take notice if 1914 was at all mentioned in the current regional conventions? I'll bet, if it was mentioned, the number of times the date was used has dropped significantly as compared to 10 or 20 years ago.

  You stated: "People shouldn’t make videos when they’ve been drinking."

  I disagree, I suggest we do a double negative

  "People shouldn’t make videos when they're not drinking." A little alcohol makes any video more interesting

  this post is for the lurking dub.

  the pimc (physically in, mentally confused) lurker dub.

  the guy who reads the watchtower stuff and scratches his head, sure something is amiss but not sure of what’s really happening.. it may also be of some interest to those curious of the nuts and bolts of watchtower’s methods of scripture twisting.. in tonight’s “digging for spiritual gems: (8 min.

  Sitting through a meeting after learning TTATT is painful beyond belief.

  I read the book. In the book, a JW was part of a public hanging. Was this portrayed in series?

  The Kindle version is less than $10.00. It is well worth the price.

  People are nice and life is awesome.

  i got invited as a +1 to someone's house yesterday to watch the fireworks.

  i'd never met the hosts, and it seemed that most of the people in the group only knew one or two other people there.

  yet i felt more genuine friendship from everyone there than i ever felt at any jw gathering.

  The most shocking thing I learned after leaving the "truth" is that most people are nice, honest, moral, and a lot more fun to be around than your typical JW.

  That is the secret that the Watchtower does not want the R&F to know. Notice how The watchtower portrays "wordy" people - angry, immoral, agents of Satan, and our enemies.

  Since You Left The Organization Do You Celebrate National and Religious Holidays?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know of people who were disciplined because they observed the fourth of july fireworks celebration.

  and i know many people who celebrated thanksgiving but just didn’t call it that because they could get into trouble with the elders.. do you now celebrate birthdays and other holidays or is that something you really don’t care about?

  We have a Christmas tree and a turkey for Thanksgiving.

  I have no interest in Easter and am not emotionally vested in other holidays.

  Female JW parking "attendants"

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was shocked recently to see on social media a couple pictures of jw sisters at a convention working as parking "attendants".

  i put that title in quotation marks because they still don't get the official attendant badge like the male parking attendants do, only the reflective vest.

  has anybody else heard of this .

  I wish that in my attendant service days as a hormonally charged young JW that there would be a few females to direct traffic. I was born in the wrong generation.
