  Has anyone noticed the JW movies are trying to normalise their lifestyle?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having watched the prodigal son returns movie produced by the organization and a recent mini-clip of a brother in london who is shown jogging and doing normal everyday things while wanting to "reach out" it occurred to me that the organization is trying to normalize their bizarre lifestyle and beliefs for the benefit of non-witnesses.. what do i mean by normalization?

  they try to make the witnesses look like just another christian denomination who are reasonable while their members live and enjoy normal lives that appear to be within the mainstream.. they do this by not mentioning anything to do with higher education, armageddon or the urgency of the end of the world nor is their discussion or mention of the blood issue.

  these are things mentioned often at kingdom halls and in study articles.. watching the prodigal son returns, the family appears to live a normal life, going to meetings and studying.

  HOW AMAZINGLY DELUSIONAL IS IT!!!!

  Publishers spend thousands of hrs and get get someone down the street to come to 1 meeting - Yes handing out flyers (by the way cultish looking ones) indiscriminately is going to convince someone to drive an Hr or more to go to some Convention with people they usually hide from?

  Can there be a more colossal waste of time?

  Can there be a more disrespectful way to waste hrs of people's lives doing this?
  

  If you got a 3% success rate (good rate for a business mailer) then you could justify it maybe.

  But NO ONE goes to conventions because of a crap flyer. NO ONE goes to meetings cus they missed out on that but they will see what its about locally.

  It's not a Joke - its a horrible and well thought out way to control the lives of JWs.

  JWs pay the society with hrs of there life, then must report that time, and then are pressured to do more.

  Did any of us ever enjoy meetings?

  by stephanie61092 in

  this is a legitimate question.

  did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?

  did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?

  I did during a few different CO visits. We had 2 that were really good guys, smart, loving, caring. One especially is was what you would think a rep of Christ should be like.

  I also liked meetings where I gave a talk or had a part, because of the massive effort I would put in to make them informatice, motivational, and realistic.

  Besides that NO!

  Jehovah / Yahweh must be blessing the Seventh Day Adventist movement and not the Jehovah`s Witnesses.

  if you look at the facts and history of both of these religions , you do see a similarity , not only in belief , but also the timing of their origins.

  end times ., paradise earth ( similar to the christadephians , baptists ,and other end times religions ) etc.. the jehovah`s witnesses s put a lot of weight on everybody doing door to door work in the ministry .and counting the time spent doing so.. the seventh day adventists do a fraction of the time doing door to door ministry by everybody in their religion , if they even require every body to go d2d and count their time.

  i do not know.. what i do know is that the s.d.a.`s have more than twice the number of active believers than the j.w.`s do , over a similar time of history .. so does that not indicate conclusively that the god of the bible is blessing the s.d.a.`s over the j.w.`s ?

  I don't know if you know but our history is tied to the 7ths - early early on Barber and Russell took much of their beliefs from them.

  Amazing how Tough and Militaristic and Aggressive Trump is when it comes to war - funny coming from a man who never served in the military nor has served anyone except himself (excluding all the divorce papers he has served his wives).

  Maybe he will encourage his sons and grand kids to join the Army so they can become great patriots like he is?

  He is a loudmouth bully - and by my experience all bullies are cowards.

  The one I hate the most is probably "The World" which is used as a giant sweeping generalization of 7 billion people as if they all agree on everything and have the same motivation and actions.
