"You should worry when we stop knocking."

by Zoos in

what an arrogant thing to say.. "you shouldn't complain about us knocking on your door.

you should worry when we stop.".

wish i had a snappy response to shove up their pompous ass every time i hear a jw spew this..

Ask them where is their bunker located and why would you need a bunker if Jah is protecting only you ? I used to worry about this whole do I have gods favour or not but I have done an honest examination of Jw history and on their record lying , so if God hates lies and the upper echelons of this church lie then I know from the deepest parts of my heart, that if there is a god and he gets angry and he is a lover of justice, then he will fry the governing bodies arse.

Do You Think Jehovah's Witnesses Are Typically Ignorant People?

by minimus in

i think most witnesses are simple minded.many are ignorant.

there are a lot of basically "good people "in the religion but i believe many are kind of dumb, including many elders.

do you agree with my thoughts??

Chook

I really feel sorry for those born into jwland and to have been mentally manipulated from a young age. I feel guilty that I tried to persuade my children , which thank god did not take up the cult teachings. The Jw teachings don't stand up under close scrutiny, but the problem exists because of cognitive dissonance which ALL believing Jw are still under this spell. As to " are JWs ignorant " they invented the word ignorant.

Question...

by ironsnake656 in

when you were an active member in the jwland, did you expect to receive any kind of help from a brother/sister, but they did not help you?

when i was in the jwland, i expected and was my belief that any brother/sister will help you in time of need, distress or trouble, because we were part of a "lovely organization".

but countless of times when i needed and asked for help, nobody from the org helped me.

Their help system is priority based on church positions. If the COs cars broke down , well their would be ample funds and assistance, but if some old half crazy sister with no family had money problems, they would often overlook the needs of these fringe sisters or brothers ,you know the eccentric ones. If charity starts at home then the Jw church is fundamentally lacking.

When it comes to give and take, all people have a limit to how much return of good deeds they dish out based on a whole give and take relationship. All relationships are give and take, it's all about tolerance . I generally think you can't go wrong doing something nice for someone who don't have the ability to repay. If we give and expect to get back the equivalent, your going to have a miserable life.

As to JWs and there help amongst themselves , I don't think it would be any better than belonging to your local 4wd club. The biggest problem with the JWs is the church extracts all the free time for theocratic activities , so the average Jw is so overwhelmed with work and family chores then in their mind believe going to the meetings is not negotiable so we have a person that believes they are serving god but have no time to give outside their comfort zones. Remember 5 meetings of brainwashing week in week out leaves no room for self examination.

Serena Williams

do you think serena will get df'd now that she has a bun in the oven?

or was she ever baptized, in that case she would just be marked, right?.

Chook

I bet Serena wouldn't allow a tell all interview about her church and the view of premarital sex. Imagine a reporter asking is she allowing her children to have a Jw baptism and religious education. We need a snapshot of big Tony with his arm around Serena that would be a classic.

Pornography - Old Elders Letter But It Made Me LOL!

by pale.emperor in

ok, this is from 2006. but someone on reddit mentioned it and posted a link.

my word, the micro-management and unnecessary lengths they go to to control:.

Imagine a 14 year old baptised girl having to relay her viewing habits to a group of old men who have all masterbated, then they inquire about her strange feelings down there. The indoctrinated parents who really believe elders are gods representative march their kids to the confessional to their own children's demise. The personal experiences written over the years brings to light this perversion.

Just when you thought things couldn't get any lower ...

by Tallon in

now they are really scraping the barrel.

check out this discussion on exjw reddit .... https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/6v85y9/pioneer_school_today/?st=j6nwx7ny&sh=136a59c9.

The problem with the bible you can find a scripture to support any conduct. With Jesus declaring that he came to divide, wt corp can justify anything. All courts should be a fact based process, but a judicial committee has chosen anything that mothership says as facts which means injustice is sure to follow. This church has mastered family destruction on a level that has few peers.

Relaxed rules toward oral sex?

by Socrateswannabe in

these people won't state anything definitively, but here's an excerpt from the study article entitled "making christian marriage a success", in the august, 2016 watchtower.

it does make me wonder.. although the bible does not provide specific rules about the kinds and limits of love play that might be associated with natural, sexual intimacy, it mentions displays of affection.

(song of solomon 1:2; 2:6) christian marriage partners should treat each other with tenderness.

Careful, it's from corespondent guidelines ( revised April 2011)

JW`s Lie about Christendom hiding the Name Jehovah.or its equivalent Yahweh

by smiddy in

jehovahs witnesses have been outspoken over the years/decades that christendom have been hiding or obscuring or even eliminating gods name jehovah from the general public.. how true is that statement .?.

1. it was a catholic monk of the 13th century that first coined the name jehovah in the english language.. 2.the roman catholic douay version of the bible does have the name jehovah in it.

about the 16th century.
