18Stonewalling and the Governing Body
by UnshackleTheChains inwhy do the gb stonewall individuals with legitimate questions.
for example, they refuse to speak to investagative journalists like trey bundy, unless they happen to get caught somewhere walking about in the street by chance.. i remember the panorama documentary 'suffer the little children' where the presenter tried to arrange an interview with one of the gb.
i can't remember if the gb either refused or simply didn't reply.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses a cult just as evil and dangerous as Islam?
by cookiemaster ini know you might think i'm exaggerating but if you really think about it, maybe i'm not.
these two religions originate with the same ancient belief system.
islam is a dangerous middle eastern cult that seeks to control every aspect of its members' lives.

It really depends on how you classify dangerous, if dangerous is associated with family structure breaking down well I think JWs are near the top of the danger tree. Because really most catastrophe's don't have a bearing on your family ,yet JWs have mastered family destruction to an art . You know their is big problems when a church allows parental separation on the grounds of spiritual endangerment.

Pale we all around the world try an empathise and walk this similar journey, the emotional train wrecks we have to pull ourselves from is just heart wrenching, Forgetting our shit past associated with JWs is difficult but little by little it becomes a distant memory. At least you Pale can blame the parents for spoon feeding you this shit, I joined after being duped. But enough of looking backwards, it truly is a noble cause to prevent and save other from joining the cult and Pale you certainly are influential in helping the honest hearted see this family wrecking religion for what it is. Keep conquering friend.

Just like an abused wife returning to her husband, it's that pull factor. Also if you call your religion truth then the followers my believe you control the resurrection.

You have to try stop worrying about the things you can't change , if there is some invisible force in the skies I have seen him interfere in to much suffering and when your dead there's no more pain.

I asked an elder how is the witnessing going in Bangladesh?
by Chook ini said god is not giving them much of a chance to hear his message, i think it's one to 3 million ratio.
i said if wt paid prime internet space they could beam their propaganda to everyone instantly, then you could show the world mr lett live , and explain how he is to rule the world from heaven.
then i asked that god seems to like the anglo nations , i should of asked how many chinese and indian are on the gb..

Are JWs "mind trained" to be habitual liars?
by nonjwspouse ini 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.

Most of us have a one time lied about being on this forum , the religion has a word for this theocratic warfare. Get a public debate with the magic seven then you would see the patriarchal top of WT preform the magical art of lying.

I used to like rural witnessing because some days in Australia we ( as in a whole car load) could go all day and only speak to two people, and hours of driving anround and reminiscence about all the plunder we would get as the spoils of the Great War of Armageddon

Another JW Urban Legend Thread
by Funchback inthreads about jw urban legends are nothing new on this forum.
they are loads of fun to read.
how many of you remember the one about the teenager who skipped the meeting and decided to get into a car with his worldly friends and they worldly guys decided to rob a store and the jw didn't know they were going to do so but he was arrested simply for being with them?.

I was at a meeting and they described how an African witch doctor could see demons behind everyone except JWs. There you go the spiritual truths revealed through a witch doctor.
