The Ken Jennings Mormon thing just blows me away also. Here is this guy who is smart as the internet and believes in the story of Joseph Smith and the golden plates.

Mormons are harmless though IMHO.

Why Do Intelligent People Still Believe In The Jehovah’s Witness Religion?

by minimus in

i understand it’s a cult.

but what makes an intelligent person actually believe they have the “truth” as taught by jehovah’s witnesses??

?.

We use to have a doctor at our old hall. He was African and a born in but man ....................... I just felt like walking up to him and shaking him " What the Fuck Man ". How could he sit there and listen to them trash higher education and not wake up.

His kids were also in organized sports and he seemed to receive a free pass from the elders on that one. Actually I think he could have done whatever he wanted and they would have turned a blind eye. He was smart and had money.

( The African part was Africans tend to be more religious, whatever sect or cult they belong too. Not a slang on Black people ).

Poll/ So Who Do You Think Will Win The Presidency?

i have always felt trump will win again.

i just don’t see biden winning.. what’s your prediction?.

Steel

I predict this election will have a voter turn out of maybe 25% or less. I don't think voting is worth catching covid. The entire election will be a farce.

That being said I think Trump voters are more likely to stand shoulder to shoulder in poorly ventilated spaces than Biden voters.

I think the Democrats could stand a chance if they would have picked a candidate who was a little younger with a little more personality. Its almost as bad as when the Republicans picked McCain.

What do I know, I am not even American.

Did you feel contempt for Non Witnesses

by Steel in

the other day i went to this farm owned by this jw lady with my wife being a jw and my mother being a non witness.

later taking to my mother she noticed this vibe like this jw lady really hated her.

she just had these little slags like when we tried to pay for the fruit we picked , she looked directly at my wife and said " don't worry about it, i only charge wordly people ".. i also have this aunt who is a jw we are estranged from.

Steel

So what camp does everyone fall into to ?

a. Raised by Uber zeolites, didn’t know much or anything about the non witness family, if there even was any.

b. Converted to the cult. Turned back or slowly grew apart with non witness family.

c. Lived a peaceful and respectful existence with non witness family.

My wife is kind of weird. She is quite close with cousin who is with her husband is a Methodist minister team. They just don’t talk religion.

One day her Uber friend came with her and once in the house of her cousin she pulled out some watchtowers . Her cousin was kind of pissed off about it . When the Uber left she remarked to my wife how rude she thought her cousin was. FFS

I have always found it odd how little contact they have with Non jw non immediate family. For years we have always invited my aunt , uncle and cousins to every wedding, funeral , family reunion ......even before we had a falling out.
Nothing, nada, zero. Not even a reply.

I also have this Aunt who is a JW we are estranged from. She was married to my Uncle who passed from cancer years ago. When he got sick we said some things to her about him getting rest and not eating quick and processed foods. Of course she took that as we were opposers since they were both pioneers. Never had the time to cook a healthy or proper meal. I often wonder how many active JWs actually go to family reunions.

Do these people realize when they are trying to convert people that people do pick up on the " we hate you vibe ", or am i seeing something that isn't there.

How do JWs view the Ransom?

by Vanderhoven7 in

looking for a simple explanation of the ransom from a jws perspective..

Steel

Jesus died for a group of people called the annoited who are solely represented by the faithful slave or governing body. Though my works and obedience to the governing body and the organization I can be Saved from destruction at Armageddon.

That’s how understand it. The New Testament isn’t written for you .
