Maybe I heard it wrong but his definition of a cult was not right.

Do You Think Disfellowshipping Is The Worst Thing About Jehovah’s Witnesses?

by minimus in

the longer i’m out the more i feel that disfellowshipping is cruel.

i understand the organization tells parents to not even accept emails or texts from their disfellowshipped children.

while i was a witness they tried to discourage families from association but there was some leeway if it was considered necessary business to interact.

That would be like picking one turd out of a septic tank and saying this is the worst one in here.

JW-run 'news' site

The GB does not approve of any and I mean any site about the beliefs of the religion/cult other than the JW.ORG Only. They would be told to take it down if it was known who they were.

Kingdom Hall Renovation

hi all, quick question related to renovating k halls.. my in-laws live in another city and the two congs there are in a ten week process of completely renovating the hall.

the plaster board has been taken off, all the toilets and air cons even the roofing iron and insulation are being pulled out and dumped to be totally replaced.

it seems like overkill to say the least.

The other thing I have seen is you may get a new Elder who is king dink and wants to show off the hall. This happened to one of my old congregations. The new elder moved in took over with a strong personality and soon after remodeled the hall completely

"Are natural disasters a sign of the times?" -- Yes, says WT

by FatFreek 2005 in

yes, bible prophecies suggest that there would be disasters during “the conclusion of the system of things,” or “the last days.” (matthew 24:3; 2 timothy 3:1) for example, concerning our time, jesus said: “there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another.” (matthew 24:7).

that from their website this morning.. i see how they've morphed (by interpretation) food shortages and earthquakes into virtually all bad happenings today.. i'll bet if the "blue bonnet" (one elder's fractured pronunciation of bubonic during a public talk, using it not once but three times) plague, one of which happened nearly 700 years ago -- was going on today, it would be a sign of the times.

after all, it "caused the death of 60% of the population of europe".. no natural devastation like that seen since..

This is old news. The cult has always used the latest shootings, storms, corruption or political scandal and wars and conflicts to say its a sign of the end. But this has always been going on. Other than the Political scandal and war storms and extinction events have been going on long before man evolved. The cult uses small minded arguments to persuade the weak minded.

I have gotten more joy from being with my pets dogs and cats then I ever got by going to any meeting or assembly. I had one elder back in the early 90s say if anyone had to get a pet get a cat, because they can take care of themselfs and don't need a lot of attention like a dog. The end was too close to be taking care of pets. Screw the fat bastards in Wallkill.

What Views or Beliefs Do Jehovah’s Witnesses No Longer Teach?

by minimus in

jw

evidently they have changed their creative day from being 7000 years per day.

all blood transfusions were taboo but now blood fractions might be allowed to be taken into the body.

vaccinations were sinful at one time but not now.. can you name other views or beliefs that have changed from being considered “truth” to no longer “the truth “?.
