  It seems that one of their tactics is to smear and use hate speech against people outside their religion (i.e. ex-members and/or other religions). Then when the government clamps down on them for doing this, they cry persecution

  Did you feel pushed into pioneering?

  by Xanthippe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i have been replying to letters from a jw friend who suddenly started writing to me after i've been out for nearly 25 years.. i have mentioned things like the poverty that pioneering causes from my own experience, worrying about having enough money to buy food.. i also said that the scrimping would have been worth it if we had been saving to buy a home or go on lovely holidays.. instead we ended up with nothing materially and we were living in a tiny rented flat when we left.. when i think of all the places i wanted to visit with my husband but couldn't because we were pioneering and had no money and now it is too late because my husband has died at the age of 54. we did get to visit some beautiful places but we ran out of time.. what i was trying to say to her was - life's too short.

  stop waiting for the new system, get on with your life.

  stop exhausting yourself in that religion.

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  has anyone here approached the jw's at the carts and what has come of it?

  did u say ur ex-jw or did u try to poke holes in the doctrines?

  were u able to embarrass them in front of any bystanders with issues such as child abuse cover-up, false prophecy, etc?

Just curious because it seems this would be a good opportunity to approach them and maybe get them to wake up

  Accused of thinking too much

  by biometrics in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been officially accused of "thinking too much".. i've tried to quit thinking, but i'm hoplessly addicted to it.i just can't seem to turn my brain off.. at times duing my school years i was accused of not thinking enough.

  now i'm guilty of thinking too much!.

  the brother even went on to say "could you imagine what the witness organisation if everyone was thinking independently like you do"?

  Does Coca-Cola believe their product is good for people? Does McDonalds think their food is good for people? Do employees and high level management of these companies consume their product?

  2014 means "LUCY, you've got some splainin' to do" for Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Terry in

  next year the watchtower society will be forced by world events (i.e.

  no armageddon yet) to confront a full century of christ's presence.

  with nothing to show for it!.

  Did anyone see the episode where it took Lucy and Ethel like 4 hours to change a flat tire? When they finally finished they realized they accidentally put the same flat tire on
