  Do You Think Jehovah’s Witnesses Are A Threat To Any Government?

  by minimus in

  russia believes they are a threat.

  the usa has put witnesses in jail in the past.

  other countries look at jws as a nuisance.. do you think the witnesses are a threat to governments?

  Not a threat to a government but are a danger to themselves, to those that they recruit and to their own families that unfortunately are dragged under the bus when parents form a blinding alliance with the watchtower organisation.

  Repercussions forever to be.

  Jw`s know where you live , You now need to know where they live .

  by smiddy3 in

  they come uninvited to your door step and try to discuss bible/wt doctrines with you, and many times or on occasion you do so.. you may even exchange first names with each other , and that is fine if you are happy with that but do you know where they live ?.

  but they have an advantage over you .they know your name and where you live .!.

  you may know there first name but you don`t know where they live .that is the advantage they have over you.. does it really matter ?

  We can always display this sign 😇.

  on my house I have something like a no wanted sign, I’ve seen witnesses get to my door just to turn back once they see it.

  I can no longer get in discussions or the silly questions that they want to ask. And I’ve instructed my children not to open the door too.... just in case. 😬

  Not me... phew... parents were not witnesses.

  Dad studied just before he died when I was a teen. But didn’t live with us as mum had enough of getting beaten up.

  But I have a brother-in-law that is destroying his family unit at the moment by being ...(excuse my angry language) the BIGGEST NARCISSISTIC ASS in the world!!

  Worse narcissistic parents than the religion. Like blondie says... they have more control and more time spent with the children.

  Not to mention that the whole family FAILS if a member is not seen as favourable.

  All bullshit in my eyes.

  the jehovah's witnesses announced plans to build a 1.5 million-square-foot audio-visual production center in upstate new york, two miles away from the witnesses' headquarters in warwick.

  Maybe they’ll trip over while using it... just like they did when they purchased the Telly award themselves ( idiots!). Lol

  The more exposure the more mistakes... I hope.

  No good memories.

  I went out In service as a teen. The feeling of not being enough if I didn’t then the feeling of shame of having to face school mates after the weekend service, they either saw me around town or they saw me at their door. I felt so ashamed and then I felt guilty for it but I felt that I needed to go as my siblings were doing service EVERY weekend.

  Was horrible. In those days we needed to ask for a donation for the watchtower and the awake publications. I felt so guilty asking for it.

  Didn’t helped me to make friends in school as I was dubbed “she’s a Jehovah’s”.

  I was a shy child and very naive.

  I had only one friend in school at a time, either primary or high school, the other leftover (like me) that nobody wanted to be seen with. Nonetheless they were true and trustworthy friends.

  What happens to Bethelites?

  by rickroll in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so if someone puts their life into serving the cult for free at bethel, then say after 25 or 30 years they are not able to for one reason or another such as illness, or family issue or old age, does the cult have any safety net for these people or is it you serve until you can't and when you can't you just go away?

  If you look on YouTube there’s loads of counts of personal stories of older bethalites treatment.

  Some not cared for properly, some asked to leave, some moved around.

  you give your whole life to service of a loving god but when you are in need of this unconditional love, the people that are meant to love you show it by discarding of you without a second thought. Not a very loving move is it? Even “worldly people wouldn’t do this”.

  So much sadness, so much pain and so much loss, and for what?

  So they can feel righteous?

  breaking families, breaking bonds and preventing love among families.

  Just stupid.
