Even Jesus had the decency to feed the poor, ask the GB how many of the poor they have cloth'd . That's a good idea for our zealous apostates, to go up to Jw carts and ask for some money for a feed.

14Watchtower's unscriptual boasting about works
by Diogenesister innothing big here, just a little musing on this scripture at ephesians 2.8-9 that definately states that only faith saves, not works, in case men start to boast about their amazing works.
"8for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of god, 9not of works, that no one would boast.
well my word, i would definately say witnesses *do nothing but boast*, especially now on jw broadcast.

The Internet is worse for the Watchtower than 1975 was: here's proof.
by ILoveTTATT2 ini am translating jwfacts to spanish.
i am doing the "statistics" section.here are two graphs that show that the statistics have never been worse for the watchtower:quantity of hours required for 1 baptism: note how low it went in 1974-1975, and note that 2016 is much higher than the slump of 1978... about double, to be exact.
2016 was a historical record in this statistic (higher is worse for watchtower).. this stat is the baptisms as a percentage of the publisher average.

The privacy the internet offers is killing JWs on the converting level because any new person or their family will research JWs out of love for their siblings. As for elders let him who hasn't ever looked at porn throw the first stone, I bet they have all had a peek.

The average Witness will continue to follow Watchtower leadership whether right or wrong.
by UnshackleTheChains ini hate to say this, but given my own experience as a jw for almost 3 decades, i am beginning to believe the average jw will continue to look to and be guided by the gb regardless of whether they are right or wrong.. despite all the scandals and negative media attention the watchtower organisation is receiving, life seems to go on as normal in jw land.
it's truly bizarre!!.
clearly, the gbs tactic of mostly hiding away from the media is clearly working for them.

In the old days just to abreviate Jehovah's Witness with JW was considered blasphemy, now head office dose a complete 180 degrees and the Warwick popes endorse the blue and white logo. All Jws need to be asked how does wt bring back the dead who didn't take life saving blood factions , was it God or man that banned blood factions. Most are fully in the cult till death but curiosity of the internet in the privacy of their homes has many of thousands lurking in the back ground reading.
I know I read apostate stories a few years before I left, but I got busy with work and was in a busy routine af meetings ect and forgot the ttat. Then when I sat a thought about the whole Christian concept, about the man Jesus and if he had a religion today would they report monthly hours requirements and would he have shunned a child for changing religion. The JWs sold a good story about the paradise pandas and the rising of the dead, but after experiencing the corporate wt head hunters and their dealings with the flock , l knew from that epiphany moment thinking about a new world ruled by these supposedly elder/ princes would be torturous to say the least.
Bro Herd in heaven looking down and judging all the women who he thinks have smaller brains ( it's on the record ). What hope would earth really have?

Ridiculous (degrading) comment on society's video
by Festus inon video "benefits of divine education" william samuelsson makes totally appalling comment.. starting from 3:05 he refers to "an effort" that was made in past to see how society's curriculum corresponds with normal - worldly - universities.. then he claims that following question was asked (to university representative) "how we in five months can teach the same that for them takes two years"?.
according to w samuelsson the representative of a university replied something like this: "your students are motivated, they have come to learn where as our students have been send to university by their parents and might have something else than learning in their mind".
this is to crystallize what he said.

The society sent that Jw lawyer in Australia Vin Toole to university, that's the quality that graduated he didn't even know the Australian reporting law regarding child abuse, he misinformed elders as to reporting requirements.

Kids ... and baptism.
by Tallon ini have noticed, from reading posts on this and other related websites, what to me is an alarming practice taking place within the jw's.
and that is the baptism of kids.. on a recent discussion posted by pe ( video of the girl now forced to shun her sister) this child was baptised at 9 years old.
all of us who were baptised at a much older age know of the many questions one needs to give serious consideration and understanding of to become eligible for baptism, not to mention the two baptism questions asked before being dunked.. surely the organisation must know that children of such a young age are not mature enough to fully grasp the seriousness, demands and consequences of making such a decision.. another point; if jesus is the example to follow, then why did he only get baptised at age 30, and he was perfect!.

This is the subject I hate the most of the Jw church, these poor kids conned into a permanent binding contract with no get out of jail card. This is exactly where the family destruction begins with the water dunking. We can only sit back and watch these families self destruct.

Watchtower rips off Disney
by BluesBrother inno doubt this point has been made before but i see no harm in emphasising it.
my family heard on the grapevine that "the society" had people who used to animate for disney.
well , if that is true , it certainly shows.

Actually the bible would make for a thrilling cartoon series, enough blood and guts plenty of sex , magicians and talking animals ( donkey and snake ), raptures and different levels according to your rank. If anyone on here creates this series, we on here could help narrate and plot this blockbuster, just share the royalties. I honestly think it would bode well for us all on here who have better computing skills than me to get on board and someone create a animated series.
