Jan Awake to push the Web Site

.

just saw this posted on jwtalk.

it's the cover of the jan awake in german.. the website we should remember!.

NeverKnew

As a non-jw, the first thing I saw was that a woman's face was glowing in the largest picture. Was that your flash maybe? I hope so...

Next thought, why remember a site name when there's Google?

Even funnier now that I think about it - I wouldn't even try to remember that site name. I would type in "Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs" in Google and that would ONLY be after I had a conversation with another non-jw who revealed the cult-like beliefs.

I can't believe they're encouraging people who are not beholden to their GB to go to the internet. We're an unruly bunch... *giggling*

i have an oppertuinity to try ttatt on an elders wife who is a pioneer who showed up today.

she is willing to meet me one on one to discuss how pedofiles are protected, the blood issue, the flip flpos, how they teach theocratical warfare and hate.

i agreed to only use watchtower and awake publications.

Kari...

I've been using side doors leveraging my experience in different theologies.

Have you ever been involved in the Catholic faith? That conversation can route you to Raymundus Martini.

I suspect the WTS mut be feeling pretty good about their own internal security...

by sir82 in

...since it evidently was not confirmed in advance that the agm was going to be exclusively about releasing the rnwt.. i mean, we all kinda sorta expected it, but no one had a "smoking gun", as it were, officially confirming it.. in contrast, there was the leak, posted on this forum, of the july 15 2013 watchtower, a week or 2 before its official posting on jw.org.. .

i'm sure the rnwt was a well-guarded secret - on the other hand, there has been a rnwt translation committee in existence for 5+ years.

absolutely no one in the "apostate community" even hinted at this committee's existence.

NeverKnew

It's amazing what the threat of one's very salvation and promise of Jehovah's disappointment might make someone do or not do.

Maybe it was an instant disfellowshipping offense? Pack your bags... see ya' bye?

Will you download the WT app on Monday?

by bytheirworks in

will you download the new watchtower app on monday?.

NeverKnew

Vals idea is perfect!

As a non jw I'd have quite a few questions for the next jw I met if I read something like, "just wait until all non jws realize they worship the harlot of Babylon with THIS version! Maybe those who attend churches will finally realize they're being led by Satan and join the only true religion! "

Those types of comments capture the true essence of the organization.

So many wisecracks....

by Caupon in

i attended the agm and god, it's as if they are trying to entettain the audience.

it is like they don't even have a regard to being serious anymore, which makes me sick.

how am i supposed to focus on what you're really trying to say if all most everything you do say is feignly amusing.

NeverKnew

SFPW says " In my experiences the more lighthearted a congregation was, the more likely it had problems."

Can you give us examples?

I just had a JW friend tell me that they got to see the gb. Their opinion?

"They seem so nice. We were all very excited to hear from them."

I wonder if my friends can name all eight of them.

New Release At the 2013 Annual Meeting Of Jehavah's Witnesses.

by Brother Mike in

jw
friends

unconfirmed rumors (but credible).

new bible.

new insight volumes (starting 2014 theocretic school year talks will be taken from the insight books).

NeverKnew

The inaccuracy of the op tells me as a non jw that apostate information is more reliable than active R&F JW info.

I really feel sorry for JWs.

The real reason for the push to get children baptized.......

by EndofMysteries in

i think the real reason is that many when they are in their teens and able to start thinking for themselves end up leaving by the time they get out of home, never baptized, and still continuing assocation with their family.

the wt doesn't like this loophole, so they are hoping to get them baptised before their teen years so that if they wake up and decide to leave, they will be dfed.

hoping to keep them trapped and be trapped before they understand the religion.

NeverKnew

I was thinking the same thing.

It seems that the internal mental and emotional hell even before leaving is exacerbated if baptized. That would keep many FROM leaving. Once gone, add that loving condition called shunning and the WTS has created a mental and emotional - internal and external torture chamber.

...on a decision made at the age of 10.
