  Aust census: incomes: JWs falling further behind?

  by shepherdless in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  time for some more stats, for your interest and comments.... it has been well documented in the past that, as a group, incomes for jws are lower than virtually any other religion, in australia.

  rather than repeat that exercise here, i set out some detail about the gap between jws and ordinary australians.. 1. jws typically earn much less.

  here is a bar chart of income brackets, comparing jw incomes against other australians.

  the cart!

  saw my first cart today!

  at a red light by a little park in the center of the city where there were lots of tents set up and people selling crafts...on the corner by a bus step i see what i thought was an undertaker.

  black suit...whit shirt dark tie...and it struck me odd why an undertaker would be there when the funeral homes are a way up the street.

  JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."

  by Muddy Waters in

  this was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.

  feel free to add your own observations and experience.

  the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.

  2. experiences

  i left the organization.

  my awakening was this month of july, the first week of july.

  i couldn't answer my own questions about the organization or the doctrines, i couldn't understand the prophecies, i couldn't figure quite well what i was feeling.

  the longer you are out the more you see how a cult steals all your time, resources and energy.

  we wasted so much because we were witnesses!

  Why I like this site

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the reason i like this site is in the fact that it speaks the truth warts and all.

  the very title 'jehovahs witness discussion forum' draws the avarage witness to the site, perhaps thinking it is 'apostate' free.. the good thing is that jw's can read the real truth about the organisation/society...no holds barred.

  my hope is that more people caught up in this captive religious organisation will open their eyes to reality!.

  Daily Text July 21, 2017: Jehovah is a loving father?

  by Sanchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is jehovah really a loving and compassionate "father" to his children?

  as a jw i would have definitely answered "yes", followed by the typical "he allows suffering, but doesn't cause it", or perhaps the "he has created us to enjoy life and wants us to be happy" mumbo jumbo.

  today's daily text demonstrate this reasoning (bold mine):.

  since half of them ended up at my house on friday and saturday nights i was given a very shining report card.

  he then told me that he would knock on my door bright and early in the morning to take me to breakfast with him and his wife.

  a couple of them told they enjoy the articles i write in the art magazines and they were really happy to meet me.
