here are some tough questions designed to determine honesty of the witnesses you meet.. 1. is post secondary education currently discouraged by your religion?

2. does your religion teach, that with rare exceptions, only baptised jws will survive armageddon?.

do you believe jehovah will completely destroy billions of people at armageddon?.

Good list.
I had a shorter one.

Ask any JW (especially Elders) - Using your bible alone - please show me:

Clear evidence for a Governing Body that would be the model for today.

Show me using your bible how overlapping generations is clear.

Explain how the bible show that 1914 was the coming of jesus.

Then - "what, I thought you were a bible student, how many years have you been reading the bible and going to meetings? Are not those 3 things the main tenants of your religion?"

Are you ok with not being able to explain them by using your bible?

The earthly resurrection pipe dream

by Sour Grapes in

i woke up this morning thinking about when my mom died about 10 years ago.

she was an avid jdub and was confident that she would be resurrected to an earthly paradise petting zoo.

if i would today go to my mom's house and because god brought her back to life, saw her sitting in her favorite chair, would she really be my mom?

Sour Grapes - you boiled down the entire lunacy of "the resurrection" and with it the whole bible.

i know we cannot answer this, how many are physically in, mentally out (pimo), but i heard an amazing piece of news the other day.. an ex-p.o and ex-elder, a long time regular pioneer, and when i knew him a stalwart believer, went for a drink with another jw who has actually left, but is not df or anything.. in the course of conversation he came out with this bombshell "well, i am actually an atheist now, i just go along to keep my wife happy".. i also heard of a number of youngsters that i know personally who are simply living their life as they want, whilst making sure they don't get df'd for family and social reasons.. if as it seems the pimo's are a huge number, could there be a huge " awakening" where they all realize they are in a huge group, and they all say " eff it, lets call it a day on all the jw s**t ".

?.

wishful thinking, but.....just possible ?.

I know a very prominent elder friend who is a PIMO.
He is an atheist but still gives district talks when he cant get out of them.
And I know someone else who stepped down as an MS over the Overlapping thing and is PIMO cuz of his wife.

There must be MANY!

March 2018 Broadcast - When quotes become rumors

by Listener in

this months broadcast is presented by losche and he discusses the need for trust in the fds.

the following is transcribed from the 12.30 mark.. satan also has the scheme to spread rumors about our brothers including the faithful slave.

the method of spreading rumors is not new.

ttdtt

WOW - SO its BLAME the Brother or Sister for what the GB does.

Ask yourself, am I prone to believe rumors

And you should trust us because we can prove we are faithful and true, or because we can prove these "rumors" are false? NO Trust us cuz doG has promised ups immortality. WTF?

Shouldn't we then trust the Slave as well? To appreciate the extent of Jehovah's and Jesus' trust in the faithful slave, reflect on what he has promised it's members. He has promised them immortality and incoruption. Soon, just before Armageddon, the remaining members of the Slave will be taken to heaven.
