Counterfeit Christian beliefs can only be discovered with a close look. The problem with anything counterfeit is that it looks genuine even under close scrutiny. US 100 dollar bill is the most counterfeit currency, some of the best bank staff have trouble sorting genuine from real. 100 dollar bill will be accepted and traded UNTIL it is classified as a fraud. If a religion has 90% of doctrines right and knowing endure and pursue with falsehoods so as to not admit to past errors. In all logic would God be blessings these ones or could their support and number of adherents be victims of a religion with counterfeit doctrine.

Do any of the Governing Body members go door to door preaching?

They have probably in the past, but I think bethel members are allowed to count time working at bethel as a part of ministry. The 7 bosses probably meet for field service occasionally ,but being the spiritual kings they are ,they probably go and visit some old invalid sister who makes nice cakes. Just like King David different set of rules for adultery.

The above statement IF they aren't JW . No bible scholars or philosopher or sound person outside the realms of JWs will conclude they are the only ones. Every single person on this forum KNOWS they are wrong. If a apple pie has only 5% shit we know that God didn't make that pie or expects his worshippers to taste shit. We all on this forum have given up eating shit.

Is remaining ignorant a choice?
by stuckinarut2 inis remaining ignorant about the society a choice?.
surely every witness has a moment in time when "something just doesn't seem right"?
perhaps a teaching, doctrine, an article, a talk, a news report about child abuse handling, or a jwdubdotorg broadcast, a video, a cartoon for the kids....you know....?.

You are either ignorant or you know, once you know you no longer remain ignorant. Once you know you can ignore the facts but that doesn't make you ignorant. So to answer the above question , one can ignore the facts but once someone becomes aware of facts they are no longer ignorant and it is only then that a choice takes place.

The bOrg Cult Tactics
by pale.emperor ini'm wondering if the borg actually studied mind control and coercion tactics deliberately or wether they just evolved over time through trial and error.
from reading steve hassans books, studying hypnosis and methods psychopaths use it all seems very complex.
like it would never occur to me to do a, b and c in the right order at the right time in order to get control of someone or control their lives.. for example, repetition of words (the word "loyalty" was a big one in the last convention), using loaded language, encouraging people not to trust their own thoughts, restricting their information, demonising those who leave etc.

Oct 2021 Time Capsule
by LevelThePlayingField inwhat do you think the jw religion will be like in oct 2021?
if we go back five years from oct 2016 you get 2011. there was no jw.org, really pretty much no tablets, most people were using paper copies for everything.
now that's all changed.

There is no way they are going to deal with false prophecy of the past . It will never be dealt with on individual basis ,it will be a generic proclamation like " we have been wrong in past ,but it was are eagerness to please God". How could they say we are wrong regarding blood ( to many dead ). Or we are wrong regarding child baptisms ( to many parent threw their kids to the wolves when kids left the church). The only thing guaranteed is some form of electronic donation system.

Violence is all about CONTROL. For animals it about protection and meals. For humans it's about self defence, border control, invasion protection, self administration of punishment.I honestly believe it has its place, if someone threatens those I love with lethal force I would not hesitate to return them to their maker in a box.

What Must One Do To Get Baptized?
by Cold Steel inthe scriptures teach one must be baptized i the name of the father, son and holy spirit.
how do the jws baptize and what must one do to receive it?
also, if all baptized members become ordained ministers, does that mean they can baptize their own converts?

Believe fairy tales ,and subject themselves to a publishing company who will not hesitate to lynch you for insubordination to a fairy tale prophecy.
