  2. friends

  a study of religious retention rates–that is, what percentage of people raised in a particular church or religion stay with it when they are grown–is quite interesting.

  jdubs have alittle over 36%.

  As they move away from magazines thier moving into another areas of bullshit. Making more movies even music that’s not for their song book. Thier becoming more and more like Scientology’s and the Mormons. I even heard they have even made a nature type documentary.

  so where does the cult stand on marijuana.

  my wife just visited her parents who are jws and her dad who knows nothing about it said it was a gateway drug.

  he may have heard it on the news but i doubt it.

  Depends where u live and your elders. If it’s legal in your state they may say nothing. One guy said it was ok where he was at originally for medical reasons then moved to another congregation even in the same state and was dfd. In my state it’s legal but the traveling idiot was saying bad things about it. So who knows.

  The Truth about the bible

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it really is common sense, but nobody here seems to recognize or acknowledge this blatant and obvious truth.. the holy bible is the result of the catholic liturgy.

  they used these scriptures in their religious practices and confirmed which books would and would not be part of their cannon.

  they picked, preserved and promoted these books and gave 'the word of god' to the world.. i know that pisses off some folks, but it is the truth [not the 'truth'tm].

  I have read that parts of the Bible were in result or to dispute different sects of early Christianity. Just imagine what the JW Bible would look like in 500 years?!

  Refusing a blood transfusion

  by BourneIdentity in

  hello all, first post.

  i've been lurking for months and figured it was time to post a few things, i've been pimo for the last couple of years.. i was doing some thinking about an adult refusing a blood transfusion, especially one that has several children.

  when you married and had children, you signed up to take care of them, to love and protect them.

  JWs don’t think that way it’s all about outward acts to prove to those around them their spiritual.

  Is it OK to teach your children that Homosexuality is wrong?

  by Thomasdam in

  1. social
  2. family

  i know a few family's who have left the cult but send their kids to a religious school because of the public schools teaching many times that homosexuality is ok. the bible is clear that its a sin.

  there is no just love each other and its all ok. i don't believe in the bible or any religion.

  i have a niece who came out as gay and i told her i don't care.

  Every chance you get you should share the fact that science has proven that being gay is to do genetics and invetro environment.

  The ineffectiveness of the Watchtower Society preaching work

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how can the watchtower society claim effectiveness in their 140 years of preaching the ''good news''..... spending billions of hours in ''field service'', having the ''faithful and discreet slave'' lead the preaching work, passing out billions of watchtower literature since the 1870's, while the pentecostals have been more effective using other evangelical methods?

  congregations.

  119,954. members.

  Because during this time of great preaching they were able to amass a huge real estate portfolio.

  A Question for Born-ins Who Had a Parent Leave the Cult Before They Did

  by jp1692 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  question: have any of you that are now exjws had a parent leave the religion before you, and you shunned them because of that?

  if so—and while you were still in the cult—what, if anything, could your parent have done to reach your heart and begin a reconciliation?

  it’s been almost ten years since i left the religion and my two sons continue to shun me and rebuff all efforts i make to reconcile.

  I doesn’t help that JWs for the most part only associate with ones in their congregation too. It’s easy for some reason for JWs to just forget a their friends and loved ones if their not attending the congregation they go to.

  Im also in your shoes not dfd just not going. The problem is they the cult members are so ingnorant of every thing yet enjoying their fake lives with their fake friends they just don’t stop to ponder what’s wrong with the situation their in. It’s been said most JWs don’t wake up until they become a victim in some way of the cults teachings or policies. So the sad fact is they may never wake up and if your dfd they may never give you the time of day.

  Ive started going back because of this , it’s better to me a marginal JW and have your family then being out and not having anyone. It’s would be great to stand on a mountain with a deity shining a light down on you stating that your right and your a righteous good person but if no ones listening then what does it matter.

  Climate Change - True Believer or Skeptic?

  by Simon in

  climate change ... who doesn't believe it?

  crazy fools and science deniers ... right?.

  it seems like it's become the new religion, the new orthodoxy, that must be accepted and believed as gospel and preached to all.. is it ok to be skeptical?.

  I think climate is definitely being effected by humans and thier fossil fuel use. But the sun and the distance the earth is from it also effects the climate as well as many other factors. I watched a documentary on the Amazon rain forests and they said this place put out a huge amount of oxygen but the people and the animals in the area use it all. So deforestation may do more to harm humans in time then climate change from burning fossil fuels.
