speaking to two jw's, separately and days apart, they both weaved in to the conversation the phrase " it is the true religion " .. now in neither case was it possible for me to do my usual thing, piling in with both guns blazing and pointing out that it is impossible for there to be any such thing as "the true religion", unless by "truth" you mean that which is true in your opinion and not supported by facts or reality etc etc.
my question is : is this mere coincidence, or has there been an article or something telling them to say this ?
if there is, could someone point me to it ?
How can the WTBTS's religion be true, when throughout their history they have continually reversed the truths which their parents and grandparents believed was "the truth?" (not new lights or more information - reversals!)
Just wait for them to ask for examples!
heard much lately, about the fukushima nuclear disaster in japan?.
that is until earlier today when i found this article from last year, with dr. helen caldicott discussing the chernobyl disaster and fukushima.
she believes fukushima is uncontrollable and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.. read the article: .
After Chernobyl, I very clearly remember the UK government warning people about possible health risks in eating lamb from the Scottish highlands for the time being, due to the winds bringing radiation over from Russia.
The story didn't last long.
she insisted on reading it to me and i just couldn't keep my freaking mouth shut.. see if you can tell why.... sunday, february 18.

according to the official figures in this post 2 years ago - https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/217902/uk-congregations-jehovahs-witnesses?page=4 - the scottish congregations had a combined total of just over £1.845m in their bank accounts.
i wonder how much of that money was siphoned off by the org when their "recommendation" to congregations to hand over their surplus cash was issued.
isn't it tragic that all that money would barely cover the court's fine of $4000 per day which the cult has amassed so far in the padron case.

i remember when the (in)famous "bunker videos" were releases there was some non-witness exposure on a few sites and most of them commenting on how scary and very culty it sounded and all the idiotic wt apologist were quick to point out that it was "only theoretical", "it's possible it could happen like that" and other assorted flavors of steer manure.. well apparently not so because i just sat through the upcoming convention videos, and review footage of the last assembly, watch the last two months worth of "meetings" (*vomit*) and studied up on all the recent new wt releases and all the talk being throwing around now is all on some gog of magog this, judgement messages this, judgement messages that, "we're about to get persecuted!!!
; some of us are going to die; the nations are about to turn against us even in developed countries; blah blah blah.
even the recorded baptismal talk i heard from the last assembly had a speaker that was telling the suckers....er...i mean the baptismal candidates to be willing and expect possible death, and to a good number of young preteen people i may add (outrageous!!!).
When I first studied numerous years ago, I was assured by the elder that the good news message would turn to a message of condemnation and judgement - based on the Ezekiel scriptures.
Well it's certainly nothing but condemnation and judgement for the Borg around the globe now.
We paid our "cover" visit to the KH last week after a gap of about 3 months.
During the closing prayer, the prayer-offerer said that there were so many bad things happening in the world and that these last days are very soon going to end. He then asked that we all pray for the Governing Body who are doing such a wonderful job of feeding 8 million people worldwide. Sheesh. If only the r&f could see!
guess some introduction would be nice, before anything.
i’m a 17 year old men boy raised on a very liberal, highly intelectualized jw family.
currently very anxious on starting medical school at a high ranked public university around here.
Welcome Plato. You have a P.M.
the wt is at it again it seems.
playing dirty as it can, trying to silence dissenters.. the john cedars channel on youtube has been taken down after the posting of a video critique of regional (district) convention leaked videos.. sounds like something putin would do in russia.
you know what they say, birds of a feather fly together--what a murder of crows all of'em!.
Doesn't it reveal something sinister about YouTube - they are so quick to remove material which "infringes" a religious cult's copyright, but then drag their feet when dealing with content which evilly targets children. Not to mention terrorist propaganda videos.
my turning point: serving on a child abuse judicial case.

The "exit door" thrown open for me, was when the domineering P.O. in my congregation stabbed me in the back at an elders' meeting for personal reasons, and the other elders kept their weasel mouths shut out of their fear of him. I was then "disciplined" by a young scapegoat elder.
The repercussions which followed my reporting them all to the C.O. - who didn't want involved - was proof that I was involved with an organization which was definitely not run by "God's people." Thanks to the P.O. thug.
just watched this video on dub broadcasting website under latest videos.. the tony morris part about 18 mins into the video where he takes forever sermonizing about "seeking out ones rightly disposed to everlasting life" he goes on and on about it and then finally says "the gb have decided that there will only be 3 magazines a year for the public and no year books anymore".
firstly there must be some active dubbers asking why it took forever just to say that and secondly why another cut back?.
seems like the whole thing is just about the website now..
what can one person do to save as many people as possible from this organisation?.
youtube videos?.
mail shots?.
From my own experience - and that of some who are very close to me - being unjustly attacked by the "shepherds" was the catalyst which opened my eyes. From that point onwards, everything in the JW garden started to smell.
Each individual may require a certain catalyst, but Pharisaic elders make it so much easier!
