JWtalk.net is an act of Disobedience

the governing body and watchtower publications make clear there is only one official website that jws should go to about their religion.

they do not approve of independent pro-jw forums.

this would also fall in line of there being no independent study groups, on the internet, or elsewhere.. for that matter, they do not approve of jws posting on behalf of their religion on social media, “apostate” websites, or anywhere else on the internet.

if memory serves me, when it was first introduced elders had to fill out a form to grade a jw, and only those who made the grade could do the carts.. i didn’t realize until sir82 said something on another discussion that the process had changed.. what is the process nowadays?

watchtower ever “simplifies” its “arrangements”.

no more food.

one-day circuit assemblies…no more “special assembly day”--it was a sad occasion anyways.

Why do trolls do what they do?

i truly don't understand the mindset of a troll.

i know it's been explained, but i still don't get it.

it is hard to distinguish between a troll and a jw apologist at times because the reactions are very similar.

Australian Royal Commission, March 2017 & the February 2017 Watchtower
by Londo111 in

2. scandals
the february 2017 watchtower says: “the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.

therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.”.

could this frank admission be a prelude to any fallout to australian royal commission’s recommendations in march 2017?.

Are JWs the most gossiping people on earth?
by Londo111 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
we all gossip.

it is only human.

watchtower actually tries to instruct adherents not to gossip and it can land a jw in front of a judicial committee—some do try to follow this admonition.

To all those underage and awake…

i salute you.. when i was in, i was a brainwashed idiot.

it instilled an arrogance and made me part of a community that contributed to your suffering.. i remember when i would see a jw parent drag their teens to the meeting.

some of these parents had converted recently, some had been some years.
