  i was thinking of my co grandfather who passed on a few years ago.

  his wife my grandmother passed on in 99. i can remember him saying "i know after armageddon i can not be married to her but maybe we can live next to each other.

  not sure where the cult stands on this issue today.

  Pale Emperor nailed it when he spoke of the seven clowns using theological witchcraft to predict who has what spouse when picnicking with the panda's.

  The big mistake of jw.org property management

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today i read some news story's about the property deals of jw.org in brooklyn.

  they made good money and good connections.. but i'm sure jw.org made a very, very big mistake in brooklyn.

  they did.. they sold and are selling all the property for money.

  Property management is its second biggest mistake, it is its people management that is its biggest mistake.

  Are JWs "mind trained" to be habitual liars?

  by nonjwspouse in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't mean overly obvious, or otherwise meaning to cause harm, but taught to lie for the purpose of avoidance.

  this type of lying can be pervasive in areas of life that are not just to avoid discussions with people who have questions about the jw, etc.

  my husband will lie/be deceitful about the silliest, simple things.

  Think of the response if someone asks is it a cult , then you will know what qualifies as a lie.

  What changes would JW.org need to make to become a normal Christian denomination.

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  i am interested in getting people's thoughts on this.

  on average 40 thousand people leave the organisation yearly for one reason or another.

  the experiences all over the media are proof of this.

  Allow members to freely visit other church's, no DFing, no guilt trips, blood, normal church hangs a cross, the list would include hundreds of JW bylaws.

  It's a modern Jonestown dishing out the koolaid for the children, following the money is the root of all crime , Pale I remember cooking the meals at conventions, all circuses need the clowns fed.

  The point at which you think this may not be the truth

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember one of the nights that i found out the truth wasn't the truth, that is after finding out about the united nations, i remember riding my bicycle from like 1am till 5am in the city night.

  it was rather chilly, maybe about 55-60 degrees and i was playing pink floyd's dark side of the moon album in my earbuds.

  just riding and riding, not really tiring because of the thought that 7 men in brooklyn had duped me, duped me for like 20 plus years.

  Rereading Crisis if conscience and realising that Jws lost lives in Malawi on a man made rule. Then thinking is Jesus behind all of this.

  by Chook in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  he ran into me a work and asked could he come , i said only if you're by yourself and don't wear company garb.

  3 hours later and i might as well talked to myself.

  i used every illustration and persuasive argument.

  I also showed him the 10 min video on 1975 Vimeo, The Elder denies them specifically mentioning it , the video reveals where the JW chariot steered the brothers to sell homes , leave jobs, it's very compelling. If they want me DF it will be in absenteeism unless Geoffrey Jackson is charged with same crime.
