Warm Welcome to all new members, I honestly believe that the internet with the privacy to do own research will drain the Jw swamp. The whole Christian course is meant to have a contrite attitude toward past mistakes, the GB has NEVER apologised for any misrepresentation of the bible. Again welcome.

Rutherford though his booklets were better than the Bible
by ILoveTTATT2 inthis appeared in the 1932 booklet "where are the dead"..

All books that encourage people that they will never die can make best seller range, Our famous judge Rutherford promised millions NOW living will never die. There is no better formula for a sales campaign than to offer something the competition is not. There is the chance ( only jokin ) that if we really wondered how JW hierarchy believe that mr rutherford is ruling in heaven now. That's a good question for GB is do they think that the judge is still influencing the org from heaven.

Just keep asking her who she helped today and in what capacity did she make their life better, try and reason could there be a non religious course for the day that would of helped her fellow man more.

Jehovah's Witnesses gain their spirituality through the lies and corruption of the Watchtower Corporation
by Finkelstein inwhen one thinks about it this is how jws gain their spirituality and show their spiritual strength by being more involving and assertive in their activity within the religion.. the wts created many dubious doctrines intentionally to attract attention to the literature the wts published, such christ has returned and mankind is living in the last days etc.. the wts even went as far as setting specific dates to further enhance expectations to its followers (1975) there were devised lies and unsupported calculations, nevertheless they accomplished toward their original intent of literature circulation.. you could say the wts exploited people's insecurities and ignorance commercially, socially creating a cult of followers drawing up free labor and money.. unfortunately this fraud with its exploitation and mental manipulation still continues to this day.

JW spirituality is measured by rank for males and for sisters it's rank of spouse. The whole curtain fell down before my eyes on how these guys appointed family member to positions of authority in the Jw church. If one clergymen can look after 150 in his church how come JWs would have roughly 8 elders to 150 publishers, it all about control and towing company line.

The Surprise Of Many Over Shunning From Family And Friends
by dubstepped ini think there's a level of cognitive dissonance that is present within many that leave over the shunning thing.
i hear so many tales of people that leave and think that their family will talk to them.
sure, that does happen, but it's by far the minority.

Because I have slipped the noose so far regarding DF, JWs have heard I'm opposed yet corporate sanctions haven't applied yet, whenever I run into JWs such as 2 days ago . I ran into elder who has in past tried to linch me in judicial hearings but is in cong next door now. He inquired as to where I was living and I said I was only in state for 4 days ( my version of theocratic warfare ) I could feel the cult culling moving closer, I just applied my Teflon coating. As to shunning I'm very fortunate that I have no blood relatives under WT control. As regards shunning the JW religion taught us to be thick skinned regarding people with opposing religious views , if 8 million shun so what , I can't talk Chinese and if I went to China 1 billion would shun based on no communication, suits me fine.

We do sound like a cult
by notalone in"we do sound like a cult..." so in the last few conversations i have had with my still deeply in friend she has mentioned this a couple times when lamenting things that don't seem right.
she has a relative that left and is telling everyone jw's are a cult.
she is very defensive and deeply disturbed by this accusation.

There is no better word than CULT to describe this group, Notalone the most encouraging thing said is there is " things don't seem right and she is not going to be silenced " I think she will qualify for the priesthood of apostasy. Give her time it's all these conflicting arguments racing her mind, her mind hopefully will process them correctly, this is the most encouraging read I've read today .

Breaking News, London: Van Ploughs into Pedestrians
by Simon in3 male passengers then get out and start stabbing / shooting people according to early reports.. but it could have been anyone for any reason, who knows, possibly jehovahs witnesses or amish.. maybe we'll never know the reason but i'm sure there will be people praying for those involved and hashtags.. thus solving the problem once and for all.. just "life in a big city" according to the muslim mayor of london, sadiq khan..

I believe everyone has a right to bear arms and a I would gladly accomodate these terrorists with a head full of lead. I think on US soil they might have joined god quicker. It's a shame because there is good and bad in all cultures, it's just that the punishment has to be as barbaric so these sick bastards feel some pain.
