  How do you find reddit

  by joe134cd in

  just curious but how do the people off this forum find reddit.

  for myself i find reddit to be sadly lacking in the jw world.

  i just don't find the depth there e.g one sentence replies, trying to be funny.

  I personally like Lloyd, he can be a bit overwhelming, but the subjects of his posts are carefully thought through and presented in a surprisingly professional and interesting way.

  Theocratic warfare. Great video

  we all recall the appalling example of vin toole during the australian royal commission when he was questioned about"theocratic warefare".

  here is a great video that shows how the society has used, and in turn tried to lie about "theocratic warfare".

  Listener......I heard or read somewhere that he was under investigation by the NSW Bar Association. I don't know if that is correct or not however.

  Thank you stuckinarut2. I will be including this video amongst the evidence to show my wife when, and if, I can get her to wake up a little bit more. I told my youngest daughter the other day that I had left, the look of joy on her face was priceless. I also in formed my doctor of thirty years making clear to her that Jwism wasn't a benign religion it was dangerous.

  Question for those who went to the RC

  i'm just curious with all the happy clapping that is now going on with the singing at the conventions.

  what has been the reaction to it with the r&f.

  has anyone ever commented that it reminded them of a pentecostal revival meeting.

  Have a look at the Jehovah's Witnesses Examiner Facebook page. I even had a try myself even though it means revealing my identity. My wife who is still in even rang an elder with her concerns and he became really defensive stating that his hips "sway" a little when that song is played.

  Warning: A. Vogel (JW-run organization) treatments popping up in the US

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i've noticed a few of my local grocery stores are stocking a. vogel homeopathy products.

  a. vogel is a company ran primarily by jehovah's witnesses, the "brains" behind the operation, alfred vogel, has since died but he claimed to be one of the anointed.

  the bolle family (co-founders of the company) is a well-known, (now very wealthy) family in the netherlands and there have been significant "contributions" in the past from the company to the watchtower organization.. alfred vogel was a well-known conman, he claimed blood transfusions would change someone's personality, he claimed to have studied native american herbal healing methods... from a native american tourist photo-op actor.

  Isn't the Hilde Hemmes Corp something very similar? Perhaps only in Europe and Australia Pacific area.

  Welcome Smiruk. There is a lot of good advice and a lot of reading to do right here on this forum. Also you should arm yourself with the excellent and concisely written info on JWFACTS. All the best to you, it can be a long road.

  I heard this one, or one very similar, decades ago. It must be one they drag out of the files from time to time.

  If you haven't already "build yourself up" with info from jwfacts and videos such as those put up by son of thunder and others. These have helped me and I continue to view some of these every day. It enables me to make casual non offensive comments to my still in wife.

  2. experiences

  just approached a cart then with two jw girls holding out mags.

  they continued chatting to each other about car insurance when i took the watchtower from one of their hands.. ok, so it looks like i'll have to get the ball rolling.

  i asked if they were jehovahs witness.

  I was born a scouser. It would be strange to go back now after 54 years in Oz and see the now familiar carts and what the khs look like. I had never even heard of the jws until I came out here at 14. Just reminiscing sorry.
