  Are JW's a Social Experiment ?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when a person looks at the sheer volume of watchtower lies, denial of salvation, free labor, false prophecies, misrepresentations, gas-lighting and falsehoods about everything and anything, it makes me wonder if it's one big test to see how gullible people can be.

  there was as social experiment in the 1960's that tested how far people were willing to administer an increasing dose of electric shock if directed to do so by an authority figure.

  shockingly, people were willing to give lethal doses to their neighbors.

  What Did You Do For Fun That You Felt The WT Frowned Upon?

  by NotFormer in

  in the light of the lifting of sanctions on glass clinking and recent threads on chess and dvds of lord of the rings, was there anything you did for fun, as a hobby or for recreational purposes that you felt might be "taken the wrong way" if it came to the attention of the elders or sister busybody?.

  he looks completely different and he doesn’t do that raised eyebrows and funny mouth that he used to.

  and something is going on with his hair.

  is it a combover or a wig or is that even him?

  Text book life

  by ElderBerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  take an example of a young man who grows up in a religious belief system jw or something.

  he mostly believes it but in truth is agnostic so is not absolute sure one way or another.. but he goes through the motions and gets married has kids, his kids grow up with the religious belief system.

  his wife is also technically a believer but they both have an overall agnostic approach.. this would be the text book life.

  Why "Removed" instead of "Disfellowshipped or Shunning"

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was mulling this over last night...too much free time, i know.

  both disfellowshipping and shunning indicate the action of avoiding someone, taking them out of your sphere of associates.

  probably is a better sound bite to say "removed.
