  How do you respond to JW family?

  by Laika in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those who have left and are still in contact with jw family, how do you usually respond when they bring up jw stuff, i.e.

  start talking about the nearness of armageddon or things like that.. i usually say nothing and just let it pass but i'm considering changing tact to something more confrontational, less because i want to change their mind and more because i find it tiresome.

  thoughts?

  I am still in, but when cultish JW subjects come up, I either try to make a thoughtful TTATT influenced comment, change the subject, or remain silent or say hmmm....

  my 10 year old son is paying attention at the meetings

  by user100 in

  the public talk on sunday was about evolution.. my son pointed out flaws in the speakers arguments during and after the meeting... mostly about how animals aren't able to communicate etc.

  he even brought up coco the ape that is able to communicate via sign.. i told him that i heard a ton of inconsistencies but i am afraid to say anything because your mom will get angry :).

  im glad he is paying attention.. and the school system must be doing something right..

  Public talks are becoming the hardest part of the meetings to stomach. To add to the sickening propaganda found in every meeting, some speakers are just so dumb and ignorant, its like hearing nails on a chalkboard. Good to see your son is using critical thinking skills. That is the most vital skill to help a child to have. Good job!

  Done for good said-I am convinced now that the organization has crossed the Rubicon. I really did not think I would say that so soon, but they are digging themselves into a hole big time with this video crap. No sane person is going to accept such nonsense. Videos like this will continue to polarize the nominally sane from the crazy loons.
  

  Keep it up WT. I look forward to the day when those remaining sane ones make their escape. It is a matter of time. Tick...Tick...Tick

  
  

  Exactly! This may be by design like Data Dog says. The more baby boomers get older and older without a retirement, broke and stressed, without health coverage etc all because of their following the advice of "the faithful slave" the young ones will see this and, even if they remain JWs, ignore this foolish counsel about not going to college.

  So disgusting. It was worse than a used car lot commercial so at least the propaganda wont be as effective. I like to review this "spiritual food from yesteryear" I feel it is very applicable. Those that followed its advice are broke, old and sick now, and the suckers that follow the likes of this video will be in the same boat 30 years from now.

  "If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. Of the generation that observed the beginning of the "last days" in 1914, Jesus foretold: "This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur."-Matt. 24:34. Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in highschool and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way toward its finish, if not actually gone!" Awake! 1969 May 22 p.15

  2. beliefs

  in the february jw broadcasting they show anthony morris the iii out witnessing with his wife during a convention.

  she is wearing the convention badge and also a badge with sophia & caleb on it.

  i find it very amusing and she is not even a grandmother even though they like to portray am as a grandfather.. here's what their 1990 w 12/1 says about movie stars.

  And what is the point of a caleb and sophia pin? What statement does it make to a householder? To the uninitiated, it will likely seem like two generic cartoon charachters! What message are they trying to send with these stupid buttons?

  Governing Body Member Stephan Lett Lies On JW.TV

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.

  the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.

  the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .

  He is absolutely pulling the "theocratic warfare" card. Its how he can sleep at night. He does not feel his audience is entitled to know the inner workings of "Jehovahs organization".

  the Witch of Endor

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  1sa 28:3-25 (nwt - not revised version).

  7 finally saul said to his servants: seek for me a woman who is a mistress of spirit mediumship, and i will go to her and consult her.

  then his servants said to him: look!

  The bible never states that the dead are sleeping as WT claims. Ecclesiastes 9 if taken literally also removes any hope of the resurection. Therefore there is no reason scripturally speaking why the Witch of Endor could not have summoned the actual man. The Bible is suprisingly ambiguous on what happens when humans die.

  Great point. This is a clear, verifiable, lie that can be easily proven. He cannot claim ignorance on this. He is at the top of the organization and is pulling the wool over memberships eyes.

  Saudi Arabia sentences another "apostate to death

  i know the gb would love to have the power to do the same to us.

  it disgusts me that britain and other western lands lowered its flags to half mast for the death of the king of this theocratic tyrannical state, all while condemning the likes of hugo chavez and muamar gaddafi who were secular leaders who at least recognized womens rights, and never did anything as repulsive as killing someone for changing their religion.

  I agree to a point wing commander, but didnt Iraq have oil too? Did it stop the west from condeming and villifying their leader, cheering when he was lynched?
