  What piece of evidence has contributed most to your world view?

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw

  .

  for me it has to be radio-dating, the age of everything.

  it contradicts so many belief systems and also gives the universe's chemistry set the means to do so many 'experiments' with varying results.. with so much time, so much is possible....

  If Circuit Overseers drive Buick LaCrosses, what do Governing Body members drive?

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  .

  i dont think anyone really knows the answer to this one... but im thinking theyre probably driven around by cos in their buick lacrosses and don't actually have cars of their own... but i could be wrong..... by the way, the cos in my area drive used toyota corollas... so it would appear that the american cos get the plush cars while non-american cos get second-rate vehicles.. .

  purchase used circuit overseer cars here.... .

  Old time JW's did some very devout JW's refuse to eat pizza with pepperroni because they believed "blood" was in the pepperroni?

  by booker-t in

  2. friends

  i have never heard this before until i read a life story of an ex-jws and how some jws in the past refused to eat pepperoni pizza because they thought blood was in pepperoni.

  i do know some elderly jw sisters would complain about eating steak if it bled while cooking.

  has anybody else heard of this pizza nonsense?.

  If the 'slave class' spoke in the first person, would it change how people viewed them?

  by sd-7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sometimes i think about stuff i read in watchtower literature and wonder if it would be received differently if it was just like, one guy with a bible, ranting as he paced back and forth amongst the jws.

  "it's abundantly clear that jesus selected me to be his channel of communication with mankind.

  don't you see the proof?

  Are They Cynically Shutting Down The Organization?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've raised this idea before but recent events seem to support it.

  changes in the watchtower may be guided by more than a need for cash flow: they may simply be liquidating/shutting it down as discreetly as possible.. of course, this doesn't mean they stop working on their upstate ny country club - but it could mean that the throrough going exposure and disproof of their beliefs on the internet, when it emerged, took many of them by surprize, as it did many of us!

  after awhile, they generally gave up trying to make any sense of their doctrines - and coupled with cash flow issues - moved towards a quiet retreat.. take a look at a few things:.

  Prime Directive of Destructive Cults

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the prime directive of all destructive cults is to keep members absolutely convinced they are not involved in a destructive cult.

  if that directive is not sustained the game is over for the leaders of the cult.. i thought about this because of an interesting experience i had not more than a half hour ago.

  i wanted to call a childhood friend of mine; we had made contact a year or so ago after forty years.

  What I think about the "We just love this idea" of David Splane

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jw.org video about the annual meeting contains david splane saying "we just love this idea", when talking about the adjusted fds doctrine.

  "we just love this idea"????

  when it becomes one of the fundament teachings of the organisational part of a religion, the rank-and-file witnesses are expected to be convinced about these kind of doctrines.
