It really says something that the religion's beliefs are so deranged that most of its adherents don't truly believe it.

Is this how you saw your Armageddon? I sure did :(
by Diogenesister ini think most of our imaginations of the new world was probably nothing like the watchtower reality.
after all, we jws are very good at avoiding uncomfortable truths!
you can tell micheal jackson was a certain type of jehovahs witness.

Ignorance of Watchtower doctrine among young JW's
by nicolaou ini've been having a conversation with a young jw on twitter and have, once again, come up against beliefs that do not match up with official watchtower doctrine.
if you like you can read the full thread here (you'll need to click on some comments to open it all up).. anyway the upshot is that this jw, and many like her, believe that only truly wicked people will be killed at armageddon - not innocent babies and children or anyone who "didn't know better" perhaps because they didn't get a witness.
it's as though they cannot accept the obvious injustice of jehovah's morality.. this jw teenager believes that all these non-jw's who survive armageddon will get their chance to prove their loyalty during the 1000 year reign of christ - again, not a watchtower teaching.. i don't really have a question to ask, this is just an observation.

I would doubt that there have ever been many JWs of any age who are all that clued up on doctrine. Most don't really care about that sort of thing and rarely pay much attention at the meetings. Those who do care likely have a hard time keeping up anyway, since the doctrine changes all the time.

Serena not celebrating Valentines Day, like countless others
by carla inyet another serena williams story about her not celebrating a holiday.
she claims she is a jw even though most here say she is not because she wasn't baptized.
someone ought to do a real story on her hypocrisy.

Dean says-Serena is a Jehovah's Witness. They do not believe in men and women not related even spending the night under the same roof. They do not believe in out of wedlock sex. they obviously do not accept out of wedlock pregnancy. Same sex marriages are forbidden. Abortion is considered murder, homosexuality is a serious sin. Marrying a non-believer is a serious offense. Modesty in dress is important. They believe that they are the only true faith.
Valentine's day is about love, and that's what they really don't believe in. There's nothing loving about armageddon.

She gave you till 25 to prepare? I was always told it was probably going to end tomorrow. I was told so every day.
And speaking of days, happy birthday

Wow, I'm glad there are people here who are on hand to mark our work. I'm assuming you mean how many, the answer is that there are currently eight brothers faithfully carrying out the vital work of shepherding the worldwide flock of Jehovah's Witnesses. These humble servants are...

I didn't see Michael Jackson surviving it, but then I didn't see myself surviving it either. Armageddon was always something that the better JWs were going to get through, not the lowly sinful ones like me. Plus I was never baptised, which is a prerequisite for survival.

This article explains it quite well. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/643000-bankruptcies-in-the-u-s-every-year-due-to-medical-bills/
The long and short of it seems to be that the number is probably less than 500,000 a year, but that there are certainly that many every few years, at least. It's certainly not a good idea to get seriously ill in the US unless you're doing well financially, or at least have good insurance.

Did Jesus exist? Probably not
by The 12 Apostates inthreads about this have been made before, but none have been made for a few years.
i was very much on the fence with this one, i never really cared.
but i became curious recently, having had a few interactions with street preachers.

I imagine it's because these other religions no longer exist, so no one has a vested interest in proving they are historically factual in any way.
