  In my experience, doctrinal stuff will likely not wake up your wife.

  I tried waking my wife up with the 607 doctrine, the fact that there's proof a flood never happened, etc. She was willing to overlook all of that.

  What woke her up was the pedophilia issue.

  I sent her a news clip with a brief statement along the lines of, "JW's made the news this week." She watched it, and that was the turning point.

  We are now both out, and our children won't have to be raised in this organization.

  WTBTS Capriciousness & Damaging Advice

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  november 15th 2015 wt study article: "do you 'love your neighbour as yourself'" said in paragraph 16.... "the remarkable growth that we see today is the result of our faith in god and full acceptance of the bible​—jehovah’s miraculously inspired word.".

  just a short time later this assertion was betrayed, for in the examining the scriptures daily of february 2nd 2016 we are advised to.... " meditate on the future of unrepentant sinners.".

  the bible which they claim to fully accept advises..... "finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well-spoken-of, whatever things are virtuous, and whatever things are praiseworthy, continue considering these things.

  I think the Dub's response would be, "Don't you think the future of unrepentant sinners qualifies as being 'of serious concern?'"

  Pandora's Box is now open!

  hi everyone, i have been lurking for some time now and decided to open the box (hence pandora).

  about a year ago i became aware of child abuse within the org, out of curiosity (just like pandora) i opened the box and the evils have been pouring out ever since regarding the org.

  anyway, this came to a head last summer with the arc.

  Just spitballing here, Cappy may be thinking of rebranding. Perhaps since he's using his face, he doesn't want it associated with the old username?

  What Should the Minimum Wage Be (USA)?

  by Village Idiot in

  1. social
  2. current

  during the gop debates donald trump said that american’s “wages [are] too high” and later said “that having a low minimum wage is not a bad thing for this country” (7:25)..

  do you agree and if so why?.

  my two cents on this issue; do the math.

  If your job isn't paying you enough, perhaps it's time to find a job that pays more.

  If you can't find a job that pays more, perhaps it's time to learn a new skill.

  If you can't learn a new skill, perhaps $7.25/hour is all you're labor is worth.
