The new Caleb and Sophia Video is a shameless plug for money

by HiddenPimo in

for helping with relief work.

maybe am the iii was sending the scotch to hurricane ravaged lands to help comfort them?.

Few things.

1. Like any kid would voluntarily watch JW Broadcasting. There's nothing on there even remotely interesting or engaging for children.

2. What they're not showing in the video is that even if that money does go to help hurricane victims, it's only be Jehovah's Witness hurricane victims. Everyone else gets a magazine.

3. If we can all help by praying, why don't they all just pray? Since when has god needed money to rescue his people?

Why, it's almost as if the money is being spent elsewhere.

Corporal punishment

by Incognigo Montoya in

so i just finished watching the latest cedars video on spanking children.

i like lloyd, and think that overall he does a good job covering issues in his videos.

but i've gotta disagree with him on this issue, to a point.. i don't agree with beating your children, but i do believe in spanking, when appropriate.

I used to agree with spanking. My dad was old school and would hit us full force with a slap across the face. On at least one occasion I was picked up and thrown at a wall. I used to think this was good parenting, that it's "just what kids need these days". But I've since changed my position. Looking back I behaved myself because I was scared of getting a beating - not because I thought what I was doing was wrong. Also, it looking back my dad was unapproachable. I'd fear owning up to something simply because I knew I'd like get the shit kicked out of me.

The Watchtower Tract Society doesn't print Bibles?

by Nathan Natas in

after reading a few comments here, i thought it was time for me to get a copy of "the silver sword" for my own occasional research and occult practices.

so i thought i would see if jw.org would offer a way that i could purchase a printed copy (not digital) of the new world translation.

as i browsed, it occurred to me that i might also like to have a copy of the... what was it?

I smoked my bible after I'd left. Used it to roll joints (it was a poor smoke).

WT also had rights to the Emphatic Diaglott. I think they'd still support this as it about the only basis for their translation of John 1:1.

I bought a copy from the Christadelphians from their website. A snip at £5!

A Witness on Facebook posted why JW is not a cult!

by Addison0998 in

.

pale.emperor

The photodrama was not produced by Jehovah’s Witnesses, it was produced by the Bible Students (who are still going and would be rather pissed at JWs stealing their credit). Jehovah’s Witnesses didn’t exist until 1931.

How misinformed can one be about their own “religion”?

How do they decide when to get rid of certain information in their publications?

by Tameria2001 in

i was recently watching a video on youtube and on the john cedars channel, he was talking about how the watchtower has discontinued quite a few of their books from back when i was still active.

so it got me to thinking about how do they decide that certain teaching doesn't fit them anymore.

so i was wondering does anyone have any ideas on how they come to that decision because if any of their members bring up something, that person can be disfellowshipped?.

pale.emperor

I’ve wondered this myself. At what point does everyone know that such and such a book is old light? Is the Revelation book still cannon or is it old light now?

His Rose colored glasses are back on

by HappyBlessedFree in

so my husband who was not attending meetings for the last four months, went to the special talk, the memorial and the meeting today.

he said he feels jehovah’s spirit is back and that they are all being so kind.. i am just sick to my stomach.

he just refuses to see anything as a problem.

pale.emperor

Yh, my never-baptised older brother ended up going to the memorial too. He told me “everyone was talking to me”. We all know what they’re up to, love bombing to get the “lost sheep” back under control.

And we also all know that it dies down and disappears once someone becomes regular or – heaven forbid – actually joins the cult.

He didn’t have anything to say about the actual talk or ceremony but he did say there were fewer there than last year.
