  Achoo! Watchtower Bless You.

  this has been irking me for a bit.

  many of us on here acknowledge the society's subtle demand to be worshipped like god.. they are god's mouthpiece, yet they make the claim "question the organization is like questioning jehovah.

  " "accept what we say because jehovah is saying it.".

  anyone remember a post shy of a year ago by '20571pnt428571' that said "the end is here?".

  it's been almost a year and we're still here.

  the human population is getting bigger.

  Hardcopy Help! Where can I find some?

  by okage in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've got pdf's of certain watchtower publications, but i need the hardcopies to back up my argument.

  it's annoying when you show a witness the jw.org website, download the pdf of the watchtower study issue in front of them, and they argue that you have no point because apostates tampered with the file.

  mind you, it's on a wt/ccjw server, so i don't fathom how any apostate can tamper with it.

  Who is your JWN BAMF?

  by okage in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i hope this thread goes somewhere, and i hope i put it in an acceptable category:.

  the wts has spent around 130 years in underhanded practices and cult control.

  we can all name at least two practices banned by the un as inhumane.. because of the control of information they have within their ranks and their often litigious nature outside of the "compound" walls, every bit of information on here is crucial in ensuring no one who visits jwn falls for the gimmicks and traps the society works to employ.. there are personal experiences that are troublesome and touching through the experience of freedom after years of endurement.

  In search of a better word...

  2. beliefs

  my jw brother-in-law is 32. he admitted to me the other day he's been inactive since 1989 (pretty much right after baptism).

  he stopped going to the meetings in 2003, and acknowledges he is a fader.. his reason for not attending the meetings was the lack of passion for jehovah exhibited by the elders and the brothers and sisters.

  he attended four different congregations in the fort worth/haltom city area of texas.

  The Idiocies of 1975 Still Have Hold Over a 28 Year Old

  by okage in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if any of us forgot just how thick the average jehovah's witness can be, here's a little story.. my friend, a 28 year old jw, got into an accident about a year ago.

  she hit a horse and killed it, wrecking her car.

  she told everyone she knew that it was pitch black and she couldn't see the horse until the last second.

  Something about the end of the current system of things they can't pony up to...

  by okage in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1975 was approaching and for years the society demanded the belief that god instructed these men of bethel to declare 1975 as the date for the end.

  they talked about it in conventions.

  they supported it in many of their publications.
