  Memorial Services

  by penny2 in

  2. friends

  all jw memorial services i've been to have been similar.

  a couple of sentences about the deceased and then it's all about the religion.

  very impersonal and scripted.

  To hijack a funeral and preach Brooklyn dogma is a unforgivable crime, the poor person who has died is entitled to a decent goodbye.

  Update: Got my Judicial Committee cancelled

  by Sanchy in

  original thread here.

  update: so, after the meeting i had with elders a few weeks ago as outlined in my original thread, they met as a body and once again called to tell me that after considering my case they still thought a judicial committee should be held against me and asked to be there "thursday at 7:30".

  all of this, i remind you, because of posting coc on facebook.

  Sanchy, I'm happy for you but I suspect it will only be a postponement . Avoid the zealots at all cost.

  JW remark about blood transfusion

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recent i had a conversation with an old jw friend.

  he told me his mother rejected a blood transfusion in a critical fase, and survived it, and of course it's good to hear that she makes it good now.. what me triggered, was a remark he made about what the elder of the hospital committee told him.. this elder praised the mother of my old friend because of rejecting the transfusion.

  the elder told them that most jehovah's witness in the netherlands take a blood transfusion when their life is at stake.

  The are cemeteries full of strict adherence JWs. We had a JW elders wife get special cutting edge blood faction that was made from cows blood ,an army developed product flown into Australia. This JW woman blood count was under 2, she lived. The irony is animal blood to the rescue. The only reason they saved her was connections,her husband is hospital liaison . You will never see in JW publications reasoning that Jah allowed soldiers to disregard blood law and eat unbled animals in an emergency or that Christ said life was more important law, in the example of sheep in well.

  Maybe the biggest mistake WT headquarters made was to self insurance . I know governments and other big religion self insurance . That why in past KH minor damage was never claimed. Some church's have insurance indemnity against rouge pastors, but know Ethel would have took short cuts in reasoning that we don't have pedophile elders.

  ACTIVISM strategies

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the proliferation of social media, more people have been reached by the watchtower organization than ever before in history.

  it sure took them long enough!.

  at the same time, anti-jw activism has caught fire to counterbalance the propaganda.. there are all sorts of activists operating "out there" using books, videos, podcasts, facebook, and incidental un-witnessing to puncture and perforate the false message and counterfeit codswallop of the governing body.. __________.

  The JWs will go the way of that song that said "who killed the radio star". The Internet is the death sword.

  What's Is The Goal Of This Religion?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what's is the goal of this religion?.

  i mean, if it's for money they could do a lot more like other religions do: tithing, paying for prayers from the gb, selling "miracles", selling "blessed" items, selling courses.. if its for power then what are they hoping to do with that power?

  they dont seem to do anything.

  They are all in the dairy industry , milking parishioners is a skill that only religions master but cults are at the top of the game ,because they become the Gods on earth. So essentially all religions are dairies.

  Undeserved kindness

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just a side note that i found interesting and sort of upsetting, the wt that the jw's will study on sunday the 18th of september has the words undeserved kindness mentioned 50 in just 19 paragraphs.

  really they need to beat it into their people that they are very worthless and do no deserve anything from god?

  so much so that they use the words over and over, don't they.. lits .

  Are quality restaurants even slightly aware of the concept..

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of providing high quality food?.

  personally i prefer the small restaurants with a owner who cooks the food.

  often the food is equally imaginative and just as tasty as the more expensive restaurant.

  The whole problems of a rockstar restaurant is that to build a little cosy restaurant where u just feel at peace and relaxed with a quirky atmosphere, is that government red tape is mad in western lands. I'm might build one ,I just have to count the cost.
