From personal experience I have so often heard people at the kingdom hall say quite unpleasant things to their fellow "brothers and sister". Every meeting seems to have an item about putting up with hurtful remarks from others. I think one reason they are so mean spirited is in part due to their own unhappiness. Seeing other people happy, especially if they think they are not spiritual enough seem to eat away at them.

50Jehovah's people are not happy people
by Phoebe ini finally stopped attending the meetings about 4 months go.
i won't be going back - ever.. but i've decided the best reply to the watchtower is to be happy and i do try to be happy every day even thought i wasted my entire life on this religion.
i cherish every day, practice mindfulness and do my best to be content with the life i have.. it is only now that i see that most jws i know are deeply unhappy people.

Jesus Christ was anti-family
by deegee instrong family ties & family values did not matter to jesus:.
- a person must hate his or her family and themselves in order to be jesus’ disciple (matthew 10:37; luke 14:26).
- jesus will give a big reward to those who forsake their family, abandon their home, leave their family behind for him.

I always wonder what Jesus was doing in heaven when god commanded his chosen people to "put to death man and woman, child at play and baby at the breast, ox and sheep, camel and donkey" 1 Samuel 15:3 Byingtons translation. Just looking on perhaps.

Can the GB be directed by Holy Spirit and at the same time be not inspired ?
by Chook inyes god directs our writings but they're not inspired, so gods directions are staggered and overlapping , so the genuine innocent believing jw has a wonderful life of overlapping bullshit.
so next time you meet a jw priest ask them what is the difference between being directed and inspired, then i promise you will hear first hand an example of overlapping bull..

Well said Chook. They talk about theocracy meaning ruled by God, but the dictionary definition of theocracy means ruled by priests, and that pretty much means people who often think they are superior to others making up whatever they want, and saying that the instructions come straight from God.
No supporting evidence required!

Evolutionist on their deathbed.
by Nimble duck ini would really like to read the thoughts of an evolutionist as they lie on their deathbed.
their "honest to nogod" thoughts.
their terrors.

At least someone who does not believe in god will have no nagging doubts that he/she has not done enough to please him.

Difficult to be certain I know, but looking at J.W. yearbook figures I can almost predict which countries have low growth by looking at the percentage Internet access first. Conversely many countries with high growth have low Internet access. But certainly there could be other factors such as education level etc.

William Malenfant's appalling hate speech - latest morning worship video
by doubtfull1799 inso he tries to prove that we are living in the last days without any evidence, but instead a series of unsubstantiated assertions ("never has there been a time with so much lack love and affection").
and uses things that are not even part of the so-called "sign" (abortions, pollution).
then proceeds to ridicule the "ridiculers," stereotype them, and declare they are only fit for destruction!.

The 1952 1st December Watchtower said
"But now, by occurrence of every detail of the great sign Jesus gave, we know that we face the imminent end of the present world system"
Imminent = about to happen, give or take 65 years or so! -

Ecclesiastes 7:10 says "Do not say. "Why were the former days better than these?" for it is not out of wisdom that you ask this.
Yes things were much better long ago back in the days of Vlad the Impaler, and a vast array of similar people who all lived long before 1914. The estimate for the death toll during the Taiping rebellion is 44 million and that was in 1850.
Anyone who says the world is so bad now never seems able to point to a specific time that they would like to go back to, when life was so much better, I think because it does not exist.

Outraged After Watching The May 2017 Broadcast
by pale.emperor inok, so i've just put myself through another months broadcast so i can see what bull they're feeding my still in relatives.
all was going fine... well, i say fine, i mean the usual cheesy videos, rehearsed reactions from jeffrey jackson (you remember him, the one who told half truths and lies at the royal commission) and propaganda from jw land.. the last feature brings up 9/11 and the paris 2015 attack at the bataclan.
just as im thinking "how are they gonna spin this in their direction" i hear these words:.

There was a demo one meeting I went to where the householder was told how terrible the world was because some children were killed at a school, but very soon God will fix that, everybody nodded. How good that will be. Nobody seemed to think what that means. According to what they believe thousands or millions or even billions of children exactly the same as the ones they talked about will be killed very soon by God at Armageddon, but that's OK?
Help! Sometimes I think I am missing something - its the switch at the back of the head that must be switched to "brain set to idle" before the meeting stats.
