From what I see on Facebook faded members are getting text messages from their JW family encouraging them to go to the meeting because it’s talking about how the org protects victims of child abuse.

They're all gushing about it.

JW`s Claim Their religion is Based Solely on The Bible.

by smiddy3 in

well here are a few words that the watchtower / jw`s religion frequently use that do not appear in the bible , either , old testament or the new testament.. organization , sovereignty , reinstatement , governing body .. and in the christian greek scriptures ,the kingdom interlinear that the jw`s published themselves , a word for word translation of the greek to english does not contain the name / word jehovah ......nowhere ..

Heartbroken that my parents are so blind...

by HiddenPimo in

so i sent a letter outlining the scriptures that support shunning versus the 3 times as many that support not shunning.

this is the below response that i received.

i will be announced tomorrow night and wanted them to know since that is the fair and adult thing to do.

Loyal to Jehovah and the faithful slave.

Who made it that way?

by nicolaou in

it's infuriating because it's so childish.

you can explain how a rainbow appears because sunlight is refracted under the right conditions but you'll get asked;.

"so who made those conditions that way?".

Then lets all lift up our heads and praise Jehovah for his wonderful creation of the Guinea Worm.

A creature that's sole purpose is to fester inside your body for a whole year before causing fever, nausea, vomiting, blisters and diarrhea and extreme pain. If you're lucky it'll travel down to your foot causing a burning sensation where you'll try and gouge it out by winding it up around a stick.

If you're not so lucky it'll burrow into your spinal cord causing paralysis and later death - or into your brain where it'll cause delirium and then death.

Oh... and it'll lay eggs inside you for the year that it's in you.

Praise Jah indeed!

INSANE last days speculation in 10/2019 WT

by neat blue dog in

the october 2019 study edition, speaking of the last days after the governments destroy all religion except jws:.

at some point, the people whose re-ligions were destroyed may resent thefact that jehovah’s witnesses keep prac-ticing their religion.

we can only imag-ine the uproar that this might create, in-cluding on social media.

pale.emperor

I long said this would happen. When the GB die they'll pass the baton on to their minions and the madness will continue.

So nice to read that, apparently, ISIS will hand up their guns and shake hands with US soldiers. The Dalai lama will start wearing normal clothes and the pope will hang up his hat.

All because the UN told them to.

Sounds legit.

They should have thought of this long ago.

Kids being disfellowshipped

by Nikki collins in

so some ex-jws and i were at dinner last night talking about how some of the ones baptized this year were so young.

a few under the age of 10!!

can you imagine if a kid got dfd at that age.... would the congregation shun them?

pale.emperor

Youngest I've personally known as disfellowshipped was a 14yo girl. I knew her from the Polish group - although she wasn't Polish. She was learning it as I was. (this was when we actually had a book study on a Tuesday). I remember her parents would still bring her to the circuit assembly and sit either side of her and wouldn't even let her walk around during the break.

I'm sorry to say that at the time I did ignore her too. Hope she's left.

Political leaning since leaving the Org.

by Olig in

as you are completely barred from talking or being involved in politics while in the org, since leaving has anyone started any political campaigning or activism?

also what way would you lean?

left?

pale.emperor

I joined the Labour Party when I left the cult. I've recently left them as I dont agree with Corbyn nor a lot of their policies now.

I've since joined The Green Party. I agree with all of their policies, plus they want to introduce a 3 day weekend and work towards legalizing cannabis.

OCT 2019 Watchtower - Survival dependant on loyalty to JW Leaders

by Listener in

there is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.

what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.

since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.

pale.emperor

Well, with a 100% failure rate so far on their own predictions they gotta be right some time. And I think they are right about one thing... the GB will be dead before any such Armageddon scenario occurs.

It's stuff like this that make me think the GB know it's all bullshit. They're dishing out damage control already, knowing that their own predictions are failing and the GB wont live to see the big A.
