I still love to hear from family who believe about the story of the Blue Smurf who ran through the Kingdom Hall and out the door! I still must laugh!

I will only believe in demons if...
by deegee injws are known to have an obsession and preoccupation with demons.. this obsession and preoccupation is not without merit given that jesus, his disciples/apostles, and the general public of 1st century ce judea and galilee are reported as believing in the existence of demonic spirits and in the possibility of demon possession of an individual.. exorcism formed a large part of jesus' ministry on earth.
the gospels and the book of acts describe many exorcisms where jesus and his disciples release people from demonic possession.. ___ .
but how do demons get inside a person's brain or body?

SJW thinking on the right: The lack of agency
by bohm inthe nut-left got a dilemma with islamic terrorism: on one hand their natural instinct is to defend muslims from any (perceived) attack on islam and on the other hand radical islam is shock full of values that are 100% opposed to everything they believe: the nut-left would simply be stoned to death in a country which properly followed sharia law.. how do you fix the cognitive dissonance?
well, the standard script includes the following items:.
first, you don't really defend sharia, at least not in its entirety, but spend time talking about the evils of the west, in particular, israel.

I do not know why this bahaviour is allowed? What is the constant belittling of the white people for? I'm Korean and I have noticed all the time the left is pandering to the black race the most and now they include people of color which I assume is latin. Its very embarrassing. Even black people are sick of it.
I do not remember the right (or any Republicans) rioting in the streets after Obama was elected twice. They knew they were defeated and bowed gracefully IMHO. The childish behaviour of the left is repulsive and divisive. What happened to love Trumps hate? I see nothing but hate from the left. Burning of a female Trump supporters hair. Violence against Trump supporters for wearing hats. Do not get me started on my own experience wearing a hat!

Watchtower and Emoji's - your thoughts
by Tallon inon the jw.org website, the watchtower is sending out a strong warning with regard to emoji's & flirting.. my personal view is that the org is now trying to micro-manage just about every aspect of people's lives!.

The Governing Body has nothing else to do but think about how they can micro manage their members more. Like a cult.

If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?
by stuckinarut2 init is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?
didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.
seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.

Why is it that logic always fails when you are inside a cult?
This logic that OP says is 100% proof that the JW is not "Jehovah's only organization" but rather a fraud.
The truth is always the truth which is why the JW's fail.

I'm sorry but I must side with Russia on this because they see the JW for what it is- a cult, not a normal religion and for that Russia is 100% right. This has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with stopping cults not stopping religion or free speech because cults are damaging to families and communities!

Yes on the outiside the JW cult looks all nice and safe but in the inside is a power struggle of men who want to be recognized for their "position" in the congregation and will cover up for other elders they like.

Kingdom Hall Master Plan. - letter - Consolidation.
by Lostandfound injust seen reference to a recent letter read to congregations about this, anyone got more info please?.

kpop
Let me see:
more Kingdom halls = more growth (Jah's blessing)
less Kingdom halls = less growth (no blessing)
It should be simple for the JW to see this, no?

Bill introduced to remove the US from all participation in the UN
by ILoveTTATT2 inapparently there was a bill introduced to congress asking for the removal of the us from the participation on the un.. you can read about it here:https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/193/textwhat do you think jw's will make out of this?.

I think this is good news for the USA but bad news for the JW cult of course they will attempt to spin this into a positive development.
Here is one reason why I think it is a good idea. The UN is maybe the most corrupt governing body on earth. It is a haven for political favors, get out of jail for free cards sold to the highest bidder and have not really been a body for peace. I know this personally because I have a family member who has worked at the UN for the South Korean international delegation.
I also think the USA wants to no longer be the world police and this is another good thing. The USA has been profiting from wars that it made for too long. The USA has become part of the military industrial complex war machine and this is only getting worse.
