  What’s the big deal with birthday cake?

  by Addison0998 in

  how strict were the jehovah’s witnesses you knew about birthday cake?

  i knew a girl who saw a few pieces of cake in the break room at her work, and ate a peice, then found out later that it was left over birthday cake.

  she felt so guilty and was scared about a bad impression she left on her work mates.

  This video shows the way religions get people to follow them blindly in whatever they say is proper to eat.

  How Effective Are Anti-JW Internet Sites?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that once you get on the internet and you see evidence that shows jehovah’s witnesses do not have the real truth, it can jolt you.

  but i don’t think simply going on an internet site typically changes a person’s direction—even if the information is very damning toward the witnesses.

  i think it takes time to eventually get out.

  I liked JT,s Critical Thinking videos as he still looks like an elder and as an air of authority in his appearance that adds credibilty to his and Lady c,s site. Since he came out of bethel, he earned his credibility the hard way.

  Using congregation funds to pay for medical costs

  by the girl next door in

  did it ever happen in your congregation?.

  it did in one of mine a decade ago.

  not only were funds on hand in the congregation account used but repeated announcements were made to contribute towards the medical treatments for an elder’s wife who was battling breast cancer.

  Not to mention but isn't this kind of "hand in the cookie jar" illegal in the eyes of the government as a non-profit? Throw a few of them in jail along with the one,s hiding the pedofile documents.

  I wonder how many "hook line and sinker" uber parents will further embarrass their children by following this looney tune to the letter by hugging their children at the doorstep of the school and start to pray with them on the doorstep of the kids school, as portrayed in this clip.

  What changes would stabilize JW membership?

  by StarryNight9 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've seen many topics about how things are changing or might be changing in jw doctrine/culture.

  some have extrapolated how those changes would result in declining jw membership.

  i'm curious to know what changes others think would stabilize those numbers.

  All of the above plus start celebrating birthdays by calling them anniversaries becase they are. You only have one "birth" day and each successive year is an anniversary of that date.

  Embrace mother,s day and father,s day as respect for your elderly.

  BS stories in the publications

  by Billzfan23 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is an example of a story that just strikes me as funny from their publications:.

  "wilson, a christian from ghana, was notified that in a few days, he would be fired from his job.

  on his final day at work, he was assigned to wash the private car of the managing director of the company.

  Sounds like one of many "fables" found in their prior years Yearbook. Once you realize that some of the "stories" are just made up, then all of the "stories" become unbelievable.

  i asked the question on quora: .

  if the governing body abandoned the 1914 teaching, would you leave jehovah's witnesses or you would remain a member regardless?.

  I was amused what mary crosby says, people have been lied to for centuries...I will add especially the past 2 centuries. dropping 1914 hopefully will quietly just not be talked about anymore. What would really matter to peoples lives would be to drop the Blood teaching.
