10 Year Growth Chart

by HiddenPimo in

here are some visuals to help show what is going on with the jw numbers game.

i am not a numbers guy and there maybe a few errors (info directly from grand total pages on jw.borg).

.

Only the most ignorant will stay in the Org. You have the willfully ignorant and the truly ignorant. How many have a clue as to the actual history and teachings or the long history of scandals and legal battles? They know nothing but propaganda.

Now we have willfully ignorant parents subjecting children to propaganda, and ignorant converts in poor nations who will pop out kids. This Org is literally becoming an Idiocracy.

The model is barely sustainable. I would argue that being tax free is the only reason the Org has survived so far. I can’t see them lasting another 100 years. Not unless they start offering real value, even if that is a JW ran University that helps Dubs earn a decent living. Sure, teach Genesis in Science class, but then offer useful classes, or a trade school, something...

They are killing themselves, but perhaps that’s natural selection at work...

JWs: No Infant Baptism! (just children)

by neat blue dog in

here's a new article that came out:.

do jehovah’s witnesses baptize infants?no.

the bible does not endorse infant baptism.

DATA-DOG

Think about the baggage you have because you were not only raised a JW, but baptized as a JW, believing that you are a “sinner” and in need of saving via the “Faithful Slave”; baggage that may very well affect your psyche, or soul for the rest of your life.

You may never, ever, get over it, no matter what you do. It may haunt every relationship, event, dreams, goal, aspirations that you will ever have. How many times have you wanted to “seek great things for yourself”, but gave up before you even tried because of WT programming?? Do you even know?

That's what WT wizard is saying. You have no clue how f’d up you really are..

The IRS and the ORG. Two corrupt organizations that deserve to be eradicated from this Earth.

are the witnesses now considered "clergy " ?

by lancelink in

years ago when i was a jw, one of their cornerstone teachings was that they were nothing like babylon the great.

i remember being taught that the witnesses not using any type of clergy class distinction was proof that they had the right religion.. well, recently we had this article in the local paper, and an elder who was no doubt the presiding overseer tried to use the clergy class excuse to get out of answering questions regarding a child abuse case.

here is the statement that really got to me.

How many JWs does I take to put in a lightbulb??

8 GB to hold the lightbulb and 8 million Dubs to turn the ladder..

Totally co-dependent situation. The GB could stop inventing lightbulbs and the Dubs could stop supporting them...

If I was still PIMI, I'd be terrified

by neat blue dog in

just looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.

and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.

looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .

Where were all these angels as JWs were killed in Field Service or decapitated on bus tours, or killed by tsunamis??

The real dividing line isn’t between apostates and apologists it’s between...

by slimboyfat in

excellent observation from zizek about communist regimes: they didn’t care if people accepted the ideology or took it seriously, so long as people acted as if the ideology was true, that was the important thing.

in fact the regimes were deeply suspicious people who took the ideology too seriously.

people who took the ideology seriously were dangerous because they were prone to noticing the inconsistencies and flaws in the system.

DATA-DOG

If the GB know that the religion can’t undergo scrutiny and survive, that means they must have a sense of the wrongness of the religion.

That means they don’t take it seriously on the apologist end of the spectrum. They aren’t true believers. If they were, then they would never suspect that there were any flaws at all and therefore would never think to warn anyone away from deep study.

Ray Franz took it seriously...

The current GB are just 100% liars and hypocrites. They are worse than believing apologists and apostates.

Just Lett ( see what I did there..) sink in...

Hypocritical Tyndale video

by neat blue dog in

at a recent midweek meeting, a short documentary about translator william tyndale was shown.

it begins with this statement about his death:.

"his crime?

Jesus didn’t say, “A good tree produces at least 75% fine fruit to offset the bad fruit. By the fact that they have a higher percentage of good fruit you will recognize them.”

Yet somehow that’s what JWs believe.. 🤔

JW women should NOT wear high heels...

by The Fall Guy in

...because high heels originated with the persian military!.

https://www.bbc.com/ideas/videos/the-curious-origin-of-the-high-heel/p07sqgpy?playlist=fashion.

DATA-DOG

I would imagine that the GB hate it when a woman is taller than them, so it’s surprising that heels aren’t banned already.
