but, wanted to share recent conversation with jw family member.. one of my jw relatives recently went to visit another jw relative that is "serving where the need is great",.

when my jw relative returned home and i was talking with him, who is an older jw who has been in for over 50 years, was so excited to tell me about the special talk.

WHAT A DELUSIONAL JOKE! The catholic church has more money locked up on one wall in the Vatican Museum than the WT has in its 100 year history.

SO FUNNY

That one goes along with: (other claims from assemblies and COs)
Most Attractive people.
Most Intelligent
Most Peaceful
Best Educated
Most Innovative (MEPS)
Most Generous
Most Charitable
Most Loving (how do you measure that one?)

Most Gullible ( oh sorry that's mine:)

p.s I read the Catholic Church rakes in over 20 Billion in donations every year.

Why Do Intelligent People Believe in God?

one of the most common thing thrown at atheists is - lots of intelligent people believe in god.

this darkmatter 2525's video is an excellent explanation as to why very logical people possess religious belief systems.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y201qzddzbg.

1. Like the video - when you have that belief ingrained in you as a kid, its hard to let go of it.

2. No one wants to think when they die that there is nothing else.

Do todays Jw's care at all about Russell and the pyramid?

by olongapo joe in

just wondering, as i will be visiting active jw family in ohio in a few weeks, do you think it will be worthwhile dropping it into a conversation, about the wtbts pyramid near his grave, or try some other topic to try and wake them up.

i was never baptized and don't really care if they get upset or not, but it is only a day trip from ohio to pittsburgh, and thought it would be fun if they denied it, and then drove their to see it for ourselves.

My father-in-law a long time respected elder (who has ALL the old books) once just told me - "we used to believe some funny things" to say as if now things are so much better.
He just chalks it up to - the light getting brighter...

And NO - no one knows or cares. You have to be an Old Timer to even know.

Most people dont even know or care about the insanity in the "revelation book" that we studied 4 times.

Most people are newish to the Org - or - just dont care about old "truths" that are not true now.

Narcissistic personality disorder and the dubs

i've recently started to research npd.

having identified several of my family members as having it ( no wonder we're such a ¿***#@**!!!!

up family)there's huge similarities between the borg and individual members of the cong as well i've noticed.the over whelming love of self, the need to believe in a grandiose fictional version of themselves, always striving for more power and wealth, being unable to stand any criticism, and then there's the manipulation of the victims too.i could be wrong i guess but what thoughts do you guys have about it?

Its this strange dichotomy of - yes Its all about me, god is blessing me with a job, house, my blue honda, my illness is better, bla bla bla - and the thinking that you are just a piece of sinful crap. Good for nothing slave...'

Then you have some people who are just the NPDs - a sister in my hall who thinks she is the incarnation of Job (demons and angels play a part in all that happens to her) , and a amazingly ignorant stupid oblivious 50ish elder who can't speak in complete sentences, but thinks his parts are lincolnesque - and was wondering why it took so long to make him an elder.

We are bizarre!

WT March 15, 2016 - Kids pressured toward baptism again

by Designer Stubble in

the study wt of march 2016 is up on jw.org and is the standard article around this time of year...pressuring young kids to dedicate their lives to the organization again.

this wt will be studied during may, so just in time to pressure them into baptism at the regional conventions this summer.such articles really upset me, as the realization of how many young promising lives will be destroyed.

how many families will be broken up, when the child who got baptized as a minor (ages 6 and up are mentioned in the literature) decides as a young adult that his/her conscience no longer allows him/her to be part of such a destructive cult.

Its ALL about locking them in when young!

Seven Trumpets of Revelation

by Zico in

i read on here that the society teaches that the seven trumpets of revelation are representative of seven conventions held in america in the 1920. is this actually true?

is it old light?

i asked some witnesses but they all gave me a look like i was weird and said it couldn't be right, and i can't check the watchtower library as i can't get it on my computer (apparently the society doesn't think mac users are worthy of the 'good news') i mean... it would be a bit...odd, wouldn't it?

Oh - We pretend we never said that:)
