  Why aren't the JDubs receiving more bad publicity concerning the abuse cover-ups?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that the jdubs think that they are the center of the universe and in actuality, no one except ex-jdubs gives a rats ass about these religious crazies.

  my question is i read that as a percentage of pedophiles per members, that the percentage is larger in the watchtower company than in the catholic church.

  i would think that would catch someones attention in the media and make a good story.. what really pisses me off is the watchtower cult is gloating about all of the negative press the catholics are receiving concerning pedophiles not even knowing that the jdubs have thousands of sexual abuse cases that have been covered over.

  Welcome iamwhatiam - I also left this year and I'm so happy now as well.

  You'll discover so many lies the society told us. Life and most people outside the religion are not like what the society told us. Although a lot of jws are nice they are conditional friends because they'll drop anyone who leaves the religion. I know much nicer, more genuine friends now and we all have different beliefs but we are great friends.

  Do Any JW's Still Use/Trust the Reasoning Book?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  under the heading last days, the introduction promises this:.

  "the present wicked system of things, which extends worldwide, entered its last days in 1914, and some of the generation alive then will also be on hand to witness its complete end in the “great tribulation.”.

  will the "slave" explain to their followers that such an invaluable "witnessing tool" is no longer to be used, or will they just revise it electronically to reflect "current truth?

  Did You Ever Think You Would Be A Member On A Site Like This?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first started looking at “apostate” sites , i was always watching over my shoulder, hoping no one would catch me viewing “spiritual pornography”.

  i found these types of sites mesmerizing but i never thought i’d join one.... look at me now.😈.

  I used to come on the site when my ex wasn't home or was asleep in bed or when I sat skiving in one of the small school rooms during a meeting. I always deleted my browsing history for this site straight away after being on it in case someone suspected me so they'd have no proof if the elders asked to look at my internet history. Looking back on it now it was ridiculous really but the fear of being caught was real.

  JW’s do NOT shun... (apprently)

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my quora campaign of answering all jw related questions truthfully with evidence is going well.

  however, one jw had the audacity to claim that "jws do not shun".

  they seem to want to present a fake, squeeky clean image to non-members and seem to get angry when answering questions regarding shunning.. like this asshole, dennis cybulski.

  I have a text and an email off 2 different jws who used to be friends.

  1 says she can no longer speak to me once my D'A is announced at the meeting and hasn't since.

  2nd person says we will no longer have anything in common once I leave and she will no longer be allowed to help me. I have seen her a few times since and she won't hold eye contact or smile back at me when I smile. (Definitely shunning).

  The governing body seem to be upping the paranoia levels of its victims (followers). They'll be scared of their own shadows if the gb keep all this up with the Armageddon bunker videos and locking doors, etc

  Creation, evolution, ???

  by Freedom rocks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  was on the bus today and got into a discussion somehow with the driver and ok be ood his work colleagues about whether there's life in other planets, evolution and creation.

  the driver believes there must be other life out there, i agree with him that life can't be unique to this planet out of the billions that exist.

  his colleague who i think might be a jw by his attitude and reasoning skills thinks we're the only planet with life on it and it was made perfect and exact purposely for humans.

  Can I ask how many of you presently study or have studied both creation AND evolution theories to arrive at what you believe to be true now?

  Creationists on here - have you also studied evolution?

  With the amount of information available out there to study it's going to take me years to discover what I now believe. It's a journey I'm willing to go on though. From what I've learned so far I'm leaning more towards agnostic/atheist at present 40:60. That ratio will change as I learn more I'm sure!

  Evolution is a Fact #5 - Vitamin C

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  part 1 - protein functional redundancypart 2 - dna functional redundancypart 3 - ervspart 4 - smelly genes.

  in part 4 we saw that roughly half of the 800 genes in the human genome that code for olfactory receptors are broken remnants of our evolutionary history.

  they were vital to our distant ancestors but in humans, as in our primate cousins they have been allowed to fall into disuse as our eyes became more important to our survival than our nose.

  Wouldn't a jw just rationalise this somehow as the gene was broken when eve and Adam sinned and it's part of our inherited imperfection?

  Cofty - i'm really enjoying reading through your series of posts on evolution, they help throw creationism out of the window altogether and you've made them easy to understand so thank you

  Sorry there are some odd words in my op, my predictive text on my phone is terrible. The first sentence is supposed to say with the driver and one of his work colleagues
