WATCHTOWER PROPAGANDA
Available in 850 languages.
just stopping by to share this... .
after seeing a watchtower representative paste the same thing over and over, about jw.org being available in 850 languages.... we all know how the watchtower loves to boast about the number of languages it translates into.
what are the facts?
it is my contention that the wtbts, (as do all high-control, authoritarian cults), deliberately cultivates dysfunctional beliefs among its members.
in particular, the most destructive of these beliefs are those that undermine one's feelings of self-worth.
for a research project i am doing, i am looking for direct quotes from wt publications that seem to be specifically designed to manipulate the readers into feeling: unworthy, unlovable, inadequate and/or helpless.
Do WT Publications Make Us Feel Unworthy, Unlovable and Helpless?
No...
I won`t let WBT$ "Soul Sucking" Literature, in the house..

According to that news report "police are appealing for witnesses"
A Murder at a Kingdom Hall and, there`s No Witnesses?!..
i remember when i was in as a teenager, some time around 2006, samuel herd of the governing body came to dedicate our newly built hall.
i remember bumping into him accidentally and a brother pulled me aside and half jokingly and half seriously telling me that i should be more careful around jehovah's anointed ones.
it was quite comical to say the least.
What examples of JW's putting men on a pedestal have you seen?

there is an elder currently still serving in my old congregation that is retired air force and from what i have heard, still gladly and discreetly cashes his monthly pension.
granted, he did "earn" it, but i always felt it was rather odd to supposedly be anti-government but yet still benefit from government money.
would the society consider this a conscience matter?

i have been out for nearly 40 years now - baptized at 14 (although not to the org), but faded away.

i left the religion back in the early 2000's, tell you the truth it's been so long now i've been out i don't remember exactly when i left.
i definitely used this site a lot when i first left and it was a great asset.
when i left i somehow managed to get my parents to come with me.
They keep trying to sell me this story that everything is different now, that I wouldn't recognize the religion if I came back
JEHOVAH`S WITNESSES...
pacifismˈpasɪfɪz(ə)mnoun: pacifismthe belief that war and violence are unjustifiable and that all disputes should be settled by peaceful means.. .
one thing that always irked me as a witness was their pacifism.
i totally agree that non violence is a wonderful way to live, but at the same time whenever i'd read or watch something about nazi germany i always thought being a pacifist in that environment wouldn't work.
JWs and Pacifism
Pacifists that support a worldwide genocide?
