Do Catholics know? Mormans? Scientologist? Amish? They live in a make believe world as I did as a child. I thought it was the "truth" do Muslims that blow themselves up say this is all bull&$@t. They are delusional true believers. Facts and logic don't matter. It is human nature. That is why 90 percent of the world pray to their imaginary friends in the sky it's reality we must learn to deal with it.

5How do the GB do it?
by zound inthe majority of your standard jws have no clue as to the topics discussed here - the scandals, lies, coverups etc by the watchtower society.
some will know of certain things but dismiss them.
obviously there's the lurkers and faders who know things, but who aren't really jws.. but the gb, and brothers high up the food chain who know everything.

TOP 10 REASONS that for JW's REALITY = access denied!
by Terry in1.the organization itself denies access to reality and substitutes its own alternate reality of counterfeit "meaning".. a.only watchtower approved publications are worthwhile reading material.. b.no higher education is to be pursued.. c.no non-jw friends or associations are encouraged with their "outside" points of view.. d.no free-style questioning of doctrine or criticism permitted.
curiousity is verboten.. e.threat of being "marked" or disassociated looms as an invisible gun aimed at members at every moment!.
2.between every real-world event and the rank and file jw's mind is a roadblock.. a.the moment of identifying is short-circuited by an interpretive moment of re-labeling in watchtower-speak.. b.all things happening are forced into a narrow storyline and propagandized as end times happenings leading to armageddon.. 3.social and personal identity is expunged and replaced by a collective persona of "jehovah's witness".. a.private thinking is red-flagged as self-centered and sinful.. b.personal improvement, welfare and ambition is labeled repugnant.

Ditto I told my mom that we we're lied to about "this generation will by no means pass away" here answer was to hang up the phone. Some want to believe it ,reality doesn't matter. A group of people killed themselves to hop on a comet. We can only help some people. It saddens my soul but alas it is what it is.

Sad Discussion Regarding Beards
by turtleturtle inso both my wife and i are awake to ttatt.
we are still active, patiently waiting for the org to implode.

Turtle to be honest you have no real friends in the Borg. Once you have a beard you will be like a white man having a black wife in 1865. There ain't no middle ground in cults or racist.

I was a Jehovah's Witness in a different religion
by free2beme ini recently had a very long conversation with my mother, about what jehovah's witnesses teach and believe now.
while i could gleam ideas and thoughts, that kind of worked with the religion i once called home.
more often then not, i had to come to a extreme conclusion.

People that show kindness, love and flexibility are pushed to the side. I really think it will get even more hardcore. How can men who live in a compound for 30, 40, 60 years surrounded by yes men really take responsibility they are deranged themselves. Even as they shrink it will be a sign from god the end is EVEN closing. Their true god is the group and the Need to believe that it's true. Their minds couldn't take the fact that they are indeed the evil slave talked about in the bible false prophets, Pharisees and murders of small children.

by Gopher inthis article made my day.
it looks like paris jackson and her brother prince michael have told katherine they simply aren't interested in peddling jw stuff from door-to-door any more.
i'm glad they are becoming their own people and emerging from their grandmother's control.. http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/05/paris-jackson-prince-michael-jackson-jehovas-witness/.
