This photo made it so clear to me that JW's are an american religion.

How do cultural norms impact Witnesses throughout the world?
by optimisticskeptic inan easy example is beards.
i hear they're not unusual in places like europe, even on appointed brothers.
it also seems like they're becoming more accepted in more liberal parts of the states.

If we just suddenly start talking to DFed people again and use the Canada court video as our argument, what would happen?
by Isambard Crater inthe jw lawyer clearly stated that disfellowshipping only applies to spiritual association, but everyday family contact is ok..

So two lies actually: (1) JW's do refer to it as shunning and (2) normal family relationships do not continue.

Wow, so much new info for me! I always feel that the North-Americans know so much more about the org and the background than the rest of the world... And still many are trapped.
Thank you all so much

Does This Site Ever Change The Mind of “Spiritual “ Jehovah’s Witnesses?
by minimus indo you think witnesses who come here believe that in fact they don’t have the truth, after all.
or are we just preaching to the choir?
?.

Well, I myself was considered a very "spiritual" witness. Now I am still in the org for family reasons. But while I'm in I use the opportunity to "witness" to the witnesses, especially to my former fellow elders. So I need the ammunition that I do find on this website. Also I can see what strategies work to help those that do not know ttatt.

Anyone from Germany here? I am curious if it just might be that they closed down a lot of foreign language congregations? They did that in the Netherlands before.

by Nicholaus Kopernicus inat the agm on oct 7th, his eminence miserable morris iii stated the jw yearbook would cease publication and that the annual report would instead be released via the "about us" menu in the jw website.

) talk by an elder.

Isn't the annual service report about the local congregation, instead of being about the global situation. I remember once a year the local service report being discussed.

You have to post this statement in order not to get disfellowshipped?

Beautiful website!Very familiar to a JW also.
Some of the problems in the pictures were shown to me while I was still in. But because they seemed far-fetched I would dismiss them.
My idea: stick to the obvious ones! Then it would sent a stronger message.
Don't you think some pictures are really a coIncedence? I do, because many brothers and sisters who work at Bethel are sincerely doing their work, even though they don't have a clue about what strange organisation they are working for.

Ritualistic behaviour within the JW faith
by stuckinarut2 ini was thinking about how the society criticises other faiths such as catholics because of their ritualistic procedures.. but couldn't it be said that witnesses have their own deeply ritualistic behaviours?.
think about the prayers said at meetings.
they all have to follow the same basic style and theme, and include the same basic content.. what about the ritualistic procedures of the memorial, and the passing of emblems - even to the servers and speaker (although they actually handle them more than everyone, they do their own special act of passing them to each other).

Praying with closed eyes. "Good" brothers and sisters are not supposed to look around them during prayer.
