Quick background. A few days ago someone brought up an old New York newspaper called the "Brooklyn Eagle." During lunch I had a little time to do some research about the whole JW.borg and what I found almost knocked me out of my seat. All scans of the original newspapers are available for everyone to see thanks to the internet.

The whole JW.borg was founded by two complete charlatan fraudster snake oil salesmen! No, really that is exactly what they were. For one, Russell was called out for selling "Miracle Wheat" which costed $5/bushel back in 1918 but was selling it for $60/bushel and people were buying it up and he made tons of money. I always heard rumors about "Miracle Wheat" but never saw any evidence for it. Rutherford was called out for being nothing more than a lawyer who claimed to have once time been a judge and they made it clear he was also a fraud. This is NOT some made up apostate lies but rather REAL verified history which can no longer be hidden thanks to the internet. Pages and pages of info about the early days of the JW.borg you will NOT see in any Proclaimers Book!

The anti-sanitized version of the REAL Jehovah's Witness history as you have never seen before. The evidence is undeniable that we all have been taken and I dare you to read and see what conclusion you come to. And please share with everyone and anyone you can, even sending out emails to everyone in your address book.

Mind. Blown.

Preaching? For what purpose? All JW's need to ask this question.

by park ave boy in

what is the purpose of preaching if not for converts?.

basically, preaching by the jw's is to make converts.

this in itself implies that jehovah's witnesses believe that they alone have the only acceptable way to god and that everyone else is just not worthy.

What is the purpose of preaching if not for converts?

Basically, preaching by the JW's is to make converts. This in itself implies that Jehovah's Witnesses believe that THEY ALONE have the ONLY ACCEPTABLE WAY TO GOD and that everyone else is just not worthy. When you meet a Christian who claims to have a close relationship with God, that is not alone for you. Instead you find that as common ground to begin your conversion process with WT literature and other brainwashing instruments. Being a Christian alone is not good enough for Jehovah's Witnesses despite Jesus clearly saying that you should "marry only in the Lord." Did he say you must marry only in the Jehovah's Witness religion? NO! So what did Jesus mean? For you to go and tell every Christian you meet that their way is the wrong way?

How arrogant! How self important!

It should really make every JW consider their own faith. How can any of you say that John Doe who is a practicing Christian does NOT have a close and personal relationship with God? I've met so many Born Again's and others who claim to have a very close and personal relationship with God. How can you deny this? In essence, by preaching and attempting conversion of others you are simply saying that you have the only way to God and they don't. This has NOTHING to do with spreading the gospel of Jesus but getting others to convert to the JW cult! Be honest! No JW has ever come back from field service and said, "that was a nice day! We found so many CHRISTIANS today who found JESUS already." No! You would never say that! You say, we found so many potential bible studies (aka potential JW converts!) Haughty much?

To make things worse think about your latest translation of the NWT bible. Did you JW's know that the NWT is the only widely printed bible in the world that is NOT considered a standard for translation on biblehub? They have over 25 different translations even far less widely distributed versions than the NWT but it is not there! And going further, the Old Testament part of the newly updated NWT is really now much further from the original Hebrew than the old NWT was! It took me all but 10 minutes do research the misleading in the NEW NWT!

So on these two points, it should be enough for you to reconsider everything!

Jehovah's Witnesses' Brooklyn tax exemptions totaled $368 million

by OrphanCrow in

jehovah's witnesses' brooklyn tax exemptions totaled $368 million.

downtown brooklyn partnership ups its pressure on the tax-exempt organization to donate $50 million.

the jehovah’s witnesses have been exempted from paying at least $368 million in taxes on their brooklyn real estate holdings over the last 12 years, according to an analysis by the downtown brooklyn partnership and consulting firm bjh advisers.

I hope someone takes them to the highest court and makes a big stink about this! I said it once and I'll say it again- the WTBTS is not a charity and it shouldn't have any special tax status!

here's a wonderfully sickening video from another cult, the "church of christ".

have a listen and tell me if it doesn't remind you of a certain familiar jw tune, namely, "listen, obey, and be blessed!

this is crazy, just crazy!

Sick! "Stoning of Two Transgenders in Dortmund, Germany Prevented By Police In The Last Minute."

by park ave boy in

this is what europe is becoming?

my work colleague in germany sent my this article in an email and it is perhaps one of the most disturbing things i have heard yet.

i have been hearing about many of these recent homophobic and transphobic hate crimes taking place across europe but this one slipped through the cracks.

park ave boy

Oh sad news from my colleague. Another attack on the gay community in Kiel but this time the police are not allowed to prosecute. In fact it is a direct order so as not to incite violence against immigrants. So now immigrant's protection is more important than the gay community? I'm about to lose it. Wusah! Wusah!

Edit: I'll update as I get the info: a group of 3 Somalian boys attacked a German man on a train because they thought he was gay, but it turns out he is not! Another passenger got hold of one boy but the police let him go after he had no evidence of identification and claimed to be 15 years old!! WTF?!

by DATA-DOG in

Honestly, Did Jehovah's Witnesses Do Anything POSITIVE For You?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was raised as a witness and am very thankful that i am out.

having said that, i think my upbringing produced positive qualities in me.

do you believe that anything positive came from your being a witness?

park ave boy

Yes. I'm the best excuse maker in the world. I can justify just about anything. I can twist logic and facts to suit my needs. I can lie like the best of them (Is Hillary Clinton a JW?) I can smile in your face and stab you in your back (a JW specialty!) You know, useful things like that. Thank you Jehovah!

What are the biggest holes in the ransom sacrifice?

by Half banana in

how honest are the proponents of jesus as the ransom sacrifice?.

curious to see what type of response there is on a topic like this or does their study only seek to confirm their preconceptions and ignore uncomfortable facts?.

park ave boy

I agree with Witness007. I really wanted to believe in the Jesus character because he seemed like a guy I'd like to know because he was about peace and love. But then I did some research on this Jesus dude and it turns out he is nothing more than another man who's character was polished up by politicians and ruling elite to use as a power play in controlling the masses. That was it. The Jesus you picture in your mind did not exist in reality. Sorry to disappoint you.

Book Review: The Watchtower Society, Organizational Misbehavior

by johnny depp in

jw
friends

this is the way crisis of conscience should have been written.

finally, a book written on the watchtower society by someone who actually knows how to write!

after reading the subheading, “the psychology of jehovah’s witnesses,” (pages 160–182), i have abandoned the belief that we have an “unconscious,” and will never again consult any psychologist, psychiatrist, or counselor.

park ave boy

I'm not seeing anything about this book. I'm going to Google it.

I have been hearing about many of these recent homophobic and transphobic hate crimes taking place across Europe but this one slipped through the cracks. Sorry about the translation from google but you can understand it.

"A group of three north African immigrant teens meet two transsexuals. First they find them physically attractive and started to flirt with them. But when they realized they were not female they wanted to stone them according to Islamic law. They were already in the process of collecting stones when police passed by coincidentally and stopped them from the attack. They have been arrested in past for theft and assault but not deported due to rules to protect refugees over citizens of the EU."

I am sick just thinking about this. How many more rapes must occur? How many more stabbings? How much more crime? How many more homophobic and transphobic attacks must occur before the people stand up and deport the politicians who did this to them? I'm feeling ill from reading this. I get everyday an email chain with about 30+ incidents of rape and violence that is increasing exponentially in Europe. Sad, sad days are ahead. Europe has come so far only to return to intolerance and death.
