Men have been killiing each other for thousands of years, but somehow the population of the planet has tripled in one century. In fact, JW's call it the worst century ever. Turn off the TV and enjoy life. Most people have been, are at peace, and WILL be at peace with each other.

jwfacts or jwinterpretations?
by slimboyfat injwfacts is a great website, but in view of the fact that "there are no facts, only interpretations", as nietzsche said, should the website be renamed jwinterpretations instead?

No, that's why I read your initial comment and three other ones, including the last one. I am done.

"There are no facts only interpretations" F. Nietzsche.
Therefore what? We don't exist, there are no events, no actions.
So foolish and pretentious to quote catch phrases that are devoid of any practical meaning. Go to a website that deals with philosophy. Most of us here, deal in the realm of practical knowledge.

Be patient, even if you feel the urge to scream, be good to your parents, but the most important thing stay away from baptism. Jesus got baptized when he was 30.

Feedback. I got some inspiration
by never a jw inwhen i found the following quote in another thread of the watchtower of november 2013 all of a sudden i got the push and the ideas to do something to denounce jehovah's witnesses as a dangerous religion.. at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound... or not.
(4) now is the time for any who may be putting their trust in secular education, material things, or human institutions to adjust their thinking the elders must stand ready to help any who may now be wavering in their faith.

When I found the following quote in another thread of the Watchtower of November 2013 all of a sudden I got the push and the ideas to do something to denounce Jehovah's Witnesses as a dangerous religion.
At that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready TO OBEY ANY instructions we may receive, WHETHER THESE APPEAR SOUND... OR NOT. (4) Now is the time for any who may be putting their trust in secular education, material things, or human institutions to adjust their thinking The elders must stand ready to help any who may now be wavering in their faith.
I am in a business that allows me to procuce flyers at a reduce cost. My business is in L.A.
My idea is to produce a flyer that folds in four parts, double sided on legal size. The title may be "Jehovah's Witness, a Mainstream Religion or a Dangerous Cult, You decide"
In the first part, start with a brief and objective description of the religion, a very brief history and even speak well of the morality and behavior of the members, as well as the apparently healthy and happy social environment. Then, in some of the remaining parts of the flyer (6) describe, starting with a question the multiple questionable practices and doctrines (Example: "Shunning, a loving rule or a destructive practice?). Support each subject with one or two quotes from Watchtower publications and document supporting information in the last part of the flyer (multiple websites, dozens of books by ex-members and the Watchtower own publications).
Anyone in the area of Los Angeles CA, let me know if they are interested in such a project.
The flyer can be given to religious organizations that may be interested in spreading the information, or even individuals anywhere, the street, the Mall, the dentist's office.
Your feedback appreciated

I'm not sure why... (Comparing presidents of the US to Watchtower presidents)
by slimboyfat inbut lyndon johnson often reminds me of rutherford.
is there anything to that comparison?
i gather that johnson had a very fiery temper and was disliked by many around him; drinked heavily too, was a womaniser, no stranger to dirty tricks, and was fond of power more than idealistism.

Hard to think of U.S. presidents resembling WTS presidents. Normal and abnormal are antithetical, not analogous

It's like birthdays, weddings, babyshowers, an opportunity to have a good time with friends and family. Who cares about the origins. Pagan? As if the Bible can claim with sound support to be from the "true God". Who cares. Be happy and celebrate the opportunity to get together with your loved ones

my first post and some questions
by wallievase inthis is my first post after deciding to finally open an account here after months of 'lurking'.. a couple of issues i want to address-.
i have issues with people who go from being a witness to losing all faith in god or the bible which seems to be the case with some members of this site.
i just don't think you can let any religion change how you view god or the bible.. second-i don't feel the gb are bad people, i think most witnesses including them are misguided by something that has been drilled into their heads since they were little and are actually sincere people.

wallievase,
A year ago, I too thought that the members of the governing body were nice, well intended men, who had a screw missing in their brain. As I learn more about them through the Watchtower magazines and their books, more and more I move in the direction of believing that they are evil. I am not quite there yet, but steadily moving that way.

I knew it. All those "C" in my school report cards and minimum wage jobs that I have held for the last 15 years don't really tell the story about my brain. I am smart. I don't believe in the personal God of the Bible. Thank you , thank you, thank you God
