Transparency Questions

by Vanderhoven7 in

here are some questions to ask witnesses.

how would you alter or improve or add to them?.

transparency questions.

iXav

Question 1 to 3, 9, 10,11 12 are great and not generic enough

Questions 4 to 8 are very JW centric will likely spark apostate fears but that depends on the goal of the questions

Do you believe that the bible allows for blood to be divided into 4 major components?

How will 1st century Christian apply the rule to abstain from blood?

Do you believe that the growth in the Catholic Church is a sign of god's blessing similar to the growth in the JW organization?

If the GB receives new light, does that mean that the old light came from Satan or did the holy spirit gave the GB the wrong information.

If God doesn't speak/intervene directly in human affairs today, how do you know that the GB are chosen by God?

How can someone chosen by God and who has holy spirit still make doctrinal and organizational mistakes?

Covid 19 True Infection Rate / Proof of Misinformation

by Simon in

this is interesting.. you've probably heard of "asymptomatic spread" which is, people who are infected with the virus and are spreading it, but who have no symptoms.. but is it accurate?

is it supported by the statistics?.

this video analyses the facts and concludes that we've been given misinformation due to faulty testing.

iXav

1) A highly contagious, but statistically non-lethal virus.
2) Faulty PCR testing leading to inflated case numbers.
3) All manner of deaths being labeled “Covid Deaths.” (Where did the Flu go?? Just curious.)
4) Nonsensical mask mandates which are proven ineffective by many studies, including studies at MIT.
5) Politicized lockdowns and a massive consolidation/redistribution of wealth, especially for those who have financial stakes in the successful marketing of new “vaccines” which could never get off the ground until they received approval for emergency use.

Any source for these claims?

It’s almost as if some career politicians and corporations are benefiting financially from the general public being unhealthy... weird.

that is true, capitalism 101

"Criminal Minds" quote

by neat blue dog in

i was just watching an old episode of criminal minds and there was this description of cults:.

"cults commonly have their own language.

they invent or redefine certain words only the cult members understand.

iXav

I sometimes wonder if those who started the religion like the JW, had the mindset from the get go that they wanted to control the masses. Is the control a consequence of managing growth.

The Patriarchy Paradox

by LoveUniHateExams in

^^^ this is the title of a youtube video made by a teacher of 16 and 17 year old eton students.

he made it as a study aid with the idea being that it would stimulate debate.. eton superiors told him to remove it from the lessons, which the teacher did.

they then told him to remove it from his personal youtube account, which he refused.

it will help the conversation if you give your opinion about what is wrong or right in the situation

Zoom Social Event With a GB Member (Losche)

by Jofi_Wofo in

in a recent turn of events, i found myself at a jw social gathering on zoom (supporting my pimi wife, while among mostly jws whom i don't know and a handful of old friends who don't know i'm inactive) that just so happened to also be joined by garrett losche and his wife.

sorry to disappoint but i had absolutely no interaction with him and have nothing interesting to report about it.

i'm just sharing this because i can't believe i even got that close to maybe chatting with him, despite being a closeted apostate.. there were about 300 people in the zoom meeting, all having been directly invited.

iXav

f you were working at Bethel and you knew there was a GB position to be filled , I'm sure there would be more than a few that would strive to get that position knowing all of the engaging perks, knowing you could live a well cared for life without money being an issue and have a place to permanently live.

That is true, I am just saying it is not all plain sailing and being a GB member will likely have its downside.

Nice gig if you can get it, particularly for men who are elderly.

Very few people will want the hassle of being a member of the GB and always trying to be the spiritual giant in the room. It gets really tiring and boring after a while. The same reasons celebrities hate signing autographs and taking selfies after a while. It stops being fun! There is a reason why bethelites in general drink a lot.

this is interesting but unfortunately not very useful as he didn't go into what could have been reasonably done by the government. Testing people multiple times to confirm if they are truey positive is likely not feasible due to the large amount of people. The government spinning the 1 in 3 data is at worst fear mongering and at best erring on the side of caution.

During WW2, X million died, but not all of them died in the battle field. Some died due to consequences of the war like malnutrition, lack of adequate medical car, depression etc. These deaths are still attributed to the war. A lot of those who died due to Corvid19 probably didn't even get the virus but the pandemic indirectly contributed to their death.

Now, there is nothing stopping the government from spinning the deaths to make the Corvid situation more dire.

Single Pretty Girls that are JWs, have so much potential, but sadly........

by pistolpete in

the pandemic has made the situation worse for single young jw girls.. i'm hearing tons of sad stories of single jw girls who are going, or have gone into deep depression.

with many having thoughts of committing suicide and hoping for a better life in the new order.. the pandemic has made it almost impossible for young jw girls to find a suitable marriage mate.

especially since the single jw boys-men want young, gorgeous, thin, virgins, who look like models and summit to the headship arrangement.

The GB is trying to control everything and they are losing.

When the GB said, don't fornicate, the rank and file will used the God's loophole

Then GB said hand job, blow job, God's loophole is part of the new amplified fornication (porneia), guess what? Rank and file just kept at it and wait for the Holy Ghost to reveal it (don't tell, don't ask).

GB said don't polish the knob. Rank and file figured that it is not a disfellowshiping offense so all bets are off and a lot of Onanism going on.

Covid / India

by stan livedeath in

its been strangely quiet on here lately about covid..or isnt it news any more.

the " not a pandemic" brigade have been noticably absent about the situation in india..

iXav

I wonder if the situation in India is not an attempt to cleanse/get rid of the poor by letting Corvid19 do their dirty job for them.
