This Cult Should Be Called to Account

by berrygerry in

Here are all the "sins" I've committed with my freedom since starting my fade:

1. Vaping

2. Occasional cussing

3. Took one hit of pot (had a bad experience, so I'm not doing that again!)

That's about it. And, actually, looking over that list, I was doing some of those things before.

Just because you want freedom of choice doesn't mean you want to go out and have an orgy.

I want the freedom to do what is right, not because someone tells me to or because I'll get an eternal reward, but because I decide for myself to do what is right with no strings attached.

How Cults Prey on Vulnerable College Students

by Watchtower-Free in

http://www.attn.com/stories/1176/are-colleges-doing-enough-protect-students-campus-cults.

how cults prey on vulnerable college students.

growing up, i constantly dreamed about going to college, but when i actually arrived at the university of arizona in fall 2006, something wasn't right.

Thanks for sharing this article. I really enjoyed reading it.

I couldn't help but imagine a JW reading the article and thinking, "Boy, these cults are getting out of hand! They really need Jehovah in their lives!"

Cappy, until today? Do tell... was there an announcement?

I made a post, but they keep getting caught in a JWN vortex of limbo.

Simon said to just wait and they'll eventually post.

Relatives who work in Warwick are visiting

so i have some relatives who work in warwick visiting us this week.

the visit has been largely drama free.

they came between meeting days, so the subject of going to the meetings never came up.. however, they have been talking about the "downsizing.".

So I have some relatives who work in Warwick visiting us this week. The visit has been largely drama free. They came between meeting days, so the subject of going to the meetings never came up.

However, they have been talking about the "downsizing."

My uncle says, "They need to. They're cutting dead weight. All the guys I see being sent home are dead weight. Worthless. They'll be more useful in the field. The ones staying are the hard workers."

Just thought I'd throw this bit of "insider information" out there. ;)

Some crazy cult language in this talk.

Some highlights:

18:15 - OBEY

2:20 - Nothing in world is as it seems...EXCEPT US!

3:30 - Danger of thinking differently

4:05 - Exaggerated opinion of their own intelligence

5:48 - Surprisingly accurate list of real reasons people leave the religion. (Couldn't believe he publicly acknowledged these

6:11 - How awful to question God's right to kill children. He's God! He can kill all the children he wants!

10:30 - Don't listen to things that are "logical"

12:02 - Avoid those who don't believe

14:05 - Build up a defense against logic. Faith!

16:50 - Don't look at apostate arguments because we're telling you not to.

Is zeal beginning to vanish?

by Caupon in

jw
friends

it has to be starting to fade somehow.

the very last time i went out in field service, hardly any were out.

maybe just about nine people were out and man if you could just see their faces.

cappytan

I certainly think it is beginning to vanish.

One can hope, at least.

But the evidence indicates that something is not going as well in JW land as the GB would hope.

Are Magicians Spawns of Satan the Devil?

by Cold Steel in

i was perusing the internet not long ago and came upon this series of videos by a guy calling himself xendrius.

it declares that many of today's best magicians are in league with the devil.

his claims are based on his observation that the tricks would be impossible to do unless the magicians had made unholy pacts with the devil.. so what's the take of the wtbts?

cappytan

Occam's Razor says evil spirits. Definately.

Now you're just trolling....or incredibly delusional. Alternatively, you could also have no idea what Occam's Razor means, but you just throw it out there to make yourself sound smart.
