so this morning i'm walking to my office and there's the jws on their carts outside as usual.
and old sister, a brother in his 20s and an elder i instantly recognized from my jw days.
one of my best friends of about 20 years.. i genuinely just wanted to say hi as i havent seen him in 3 years.
@ Dunedain — Right on the spot. Spoken like a true descendant of the kings of Numenor.
The hollow phrases and empty words - bits of their "spiritual" junk food, swallowed mindlessly and regurgitated by the drones, just add insult to injury. Disgusting.
seriously.. https://www.wuv.de/marketing/unternehmer_sichert_sich_marken_der_jehovas.
businessman felt harassed by jws, so he found that word marks "der wachtturm" and "erwachet!
" (german versions of "the watchtower" and "awake!
Time to rebrand that pulp mag from Awake! to a much better fitting Comatose?
Well done, Mr Reschl! That has certainly caused sort of a kerfuffle in the WT-org.
Rofl
fellows.
finally find a place to share experience for jwers.
i am also a ex-jwer and left the ´truth´ on jan. 2018. i live and work in midt jylland in denmark.
I'm glad to hear that you got out of that cult before they could make you abandon for good your freedom, your morality, your love, your career, and your humour.
Welcome to the real world from Germany!
BTW, I like your name "IamWhatIam"
my quora campaign of answering all jw related questions truthfully with evidence is going well.
however, one jw had the audacity to claim that "jws do not shun".
they seem to want to present a fake, squeeky clean image to non-members and seem to get angry when answering questions regarding shunning.. like this asshole, dennis cybulski.
_Morpheus — Thats true, mostly. What it conveniently leaves out is that nobody claimed faders (the situation they describe) were shunned. We are refering to df’d People. They are in fact shunned.
It's the straw man fallacy, one of their favourite means of deflecting a perfectly valid point of criticism. It's almost boring. Yes, we know, they are the deceived deceivers, but what's annoying is that they don't even bother to put some effort at it.

RubaDub - That's easy to explain: It's the camouflage part of theocratic warfare ...
backstory:.
so my born-in cousin who recently left the org is looking to start an ex-jw / group instagram based in socal.
he asked me if i had any ideas for a photo that can used for the instagram page and this is what i made for him:.
i dont know why i'd want to argue over something like this.
i've been aware of this theory for years.
as interesting as it is - it's still bullshit.. for future reference, i believe the bible to be a collection of fantasy, myth, real locations and crazy ramblings of psychedelic bloke stuck on patmos.. my reply:.
sir82 — Now I'm all depressed - evidently I'm not considered "intellectual" enough to get a wacko IM.
Over time I've come to actually appreciate being shunned by idiots. You know, bad association ...
i don't know if they do this any longer but back in the day they had a special section at an assembly sectioned off for dfed people who would have to wear a ribbon that said disfellowshipped.
do they still do this and what was the rules on dfed talking to dfed at the assembly?
In Germany there were certainly no "ribbons". In the Nazi concentration camps they had to wear these:
In the sixties there were still a lot of JWs around who had been in a KZ (Konzentrationslager - concentration camp). They could/would have a sudden awakening, and WTorg knew it.
And I've never seen nor have I been hinted at special assigned areas to avoid because of the concentrated evil apostates there: "Beware of this area, lest you catch the Demons' Flu."
is jesus the alpha and omega?
the watchtower make a bold brass article on their own website claiming that jesus is not the alpha and omega, yet however, god's word explains in clear detail that he is the alpha and omega... do we therefore trust what the watchtower says?
or do we trust what god says?.
a lot of people are confused over the teaching of the trinity, some doubt it, some outright deny it, where some can't get their head around it.
the bible supports it through scriptural evidence.
this video explains from the whiteboard the difference between the god of the watchtower to the god in the bible.
This is Trinity.
This is a trinity.
This is your choice. Take the red pill, and you will discover ...
... that it's just a story.
