  i have been noticing a distinct difference in reaction to those who leave christianity among evangelicals and jehovah's witnesses.

  when i left jwism there wasn't much effort to correct me.

  i know this is not a surprise to any of you.

  I have been noticing a distinct difference in reaction to those who leave Christianity among evangelicals and Jehovah's witnesses. When I left JWism there wasn't much effort to correct me. Not since either. I know this is not a surprise to any of you. The response publicly from the Watchtower has been pathetic to people leaving in general. Simply labeling people apostates but no intellectual responses have happened.

  Contrast all of this with the following article. Not to mention I have noticed apologetic conferences and events in numerous locations all to bring back unbelievers to Christianity.

  I can't figure out what buildings/properties are still being used.

  Warick, Wallkill, Patterson, Kingdom Farms, Mountain Farm?

  Anyone know what and for what these U.S. properties are being used?

  Leaked videos - Why?

  by NewYork44M in

  thank you to those that have passed on "leaked" videos.

  one point that i have not seen discussed is "why" apostates are getting these videos.. are videos getting out because of a lack of internal controls, or are there more than a few disloyal insiders that are more than happy to pass on inside information.

  or, is there a strategic intent of releasing leaked videos?.

  So then, we have theories but no one knows for sure? Do the people posting these videos on this site know how these videos got out? Hacked or leaked?

  Why remove John 8:1-11 in the NWT if these verses speak highly of Jesus

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i understand these verses were removed in the nwt as well as some other bibles because they were added later & considered uninspired.

  jesus protected an adultress so why remove it?

  it fits in nicely with his teachings, does it not?

  Really, the whole Bible could be edited and probably is and has been edited it's whole existence based on the minds and hearts of the editors.

  I believe this says alot about the governing body (Watchtower Society). It says they have no mercy in their hearts. They also have no understanding of modern psychology or desire to learn it. They will edit the Bible to fit their own hard ass approach to governing their earthly subjects. Another example of why there will never be any meaningful reform in this sect. It will only draw to itself and retain those who agree with this same closeminded hard assed approach.

  So What Drastic Money Change is Next?

  okay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.

  they reduced printing of mags.

  they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.

  Is it possible congregations that don't keep up with the asked for amount of money would be disbanded? Even if they are considered spiritually healthy in all other ways?
