REALLY its 1984 Orwell (Newspeak)
FRIDAY
Chairman's Address: Jehovah Deserves "Undivided Loyalty"- Maintain Loyalty in – Thought! - Bellyfell - The word bellyfeel refers to a blind, enthusiastic acceptance of an idea.
- Maintain Loyalty in – Word! -Newspeak "The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of IngSoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible."
- Maintain Loyalty in – Action! Blackwhite - A true Party member could automatically and without thought expunge any "incorrect" information and neatly replace it with "true" information. Done properly, there would be no recollection of the "incorrect" information. THUS falling in line with any ACTIONS that are asked of the member without there being any questioning or hesitation.

What would you do if you won a $300 million lottery
by LevelThePlayingField ini would pay a highly rated, very expensive advertising company to run a 1 minute ad that ran nationwide primetime every night of the week until i spent $75 million of it telling how the wt was covering over pedophiles and for people to go to jwfacts.com for the truth about the truth.
it would be done in very good taste, way better than political ads.
i would spare no expense.

They want to get rid of "anointed ones" - It's getting clear
by thedepressedsoul ini've never met a group that turns on it's members like the jw's.
sister faithful that thinks she's anointed is now bat shit crazy with mental illness.
we all have known it's true, but now you have the wt, who put it in everyone's head that you can be anointed.

Peace and Security!
by biblexaminer inwatchtower teaches that soon there will be a huge development that will be a sign for jehovah's witnesses!
5:3 the watchtower magazine, principle journal of jehovah's witnesses, writes.... however, just before that day of jehovah begins, world leaders will be saying “peace and security!” this may refer to one event or to a series of events.

At least they are being very specific about it - much like Revelation :)
They did rule out No series of events.

FYI - there are only 35,000 publishers in ALL banned countries.
That is NOT a lot, especially if you add their population together.
It makes the 1 in 7000 ratio in Uganda look stellar!

Is this a site controlled by atheists?
by The Rebel inunder the exterior of being an ex- witness site, is this site simply converting atheism?.
i pose the question, because many come here in distress and insecurity with the realization that the w.t is wrong but still retain a belief in god.
my personal opinion is the threads on god are not challenged by an atheists personal animosity to believers, they are challenged and become confrontational because the atheist wants an elaboration and factual proof to a believers faith.. is this unreasonable?

I just think that a lot of JWs who have had their eyes opened have opened them fully.
I think JWs who spent their lives scrutinizing the most innocuous passages of the bible and coming up with deep meaning, and also getting explanations for the most blatant contradictions.
As JWs, we have spent our lives studying the bible.
Each book and verse were examined for deep meaning, and prophetic significance.
Year after year we were given "explanations" of who the most idiotic stuff fit into scientific truth.
Year after year, the most blatant contradictions were either causally explained away, or some over arching future structure was added to it so it would make sense when god explained the details.
We had it pounded in that we are the ONLY true religion, and many people would "ironically" express "if this isn't the truth then there isn't one"
After all that and more, its hard to come to the conclusion, "oh we got the trinity wrong, but all the other stuff is still ok", if you know what I am saying.
