The links are fine when you download the PDF and open it up in a PDF reader like Acrobat DC...
But using an online hosted PDF reader like the Google Drive that allows you to view PDF's in a browser makes the hyperlinks not work.

God answers JW prayers about trivialities while ignoring the abuse of little children
by jambon1 ini've heard many experiences about how jehovah answers the prayers of jw's - convention items about pioneers gas bills, car repairs, job opportunities.
now, if this is true, you are actually stating that god has directly intervened in your life.
taken action on your behalf.

Remember visiting brothers in Ireland...one young MS guy was telling me he got a speeding ticket and he prayed hard to Jehoover about it and he got let off in court and therefore he did not relinquish his position...he was so glad prayer worked.
The same week a sister had a stalker...she prayed hard about it and told the police...one night the stalker caught her, dragged her to a bus stop and violently raped her.
The power of prayer...utter nonsense.

Making life and death/life altering decisions based on commands from someone you're not sure exists
by jambon1 instraight from the off, i will say that i'm 100% atheist.
i have no faith.
however, it occurred to me while thinking back over my involvement with the jw religion and especially when i take into account personal and family situations where people have made life altering choices due to being jw's, just how crazy it really is.

Even worse is people making life/death based decisions based on the sayings of 7 men who now say they may be wrong, are not inspired and are not infallible!

Anointed o es disfellowshipped and then reinstated
by Lostandfound insorry if this already covered, have any one seen a professed anointed one disfellowshipped and subsequently reinstated?
still partaking after return.. i witnessed one who had to be "advised" not to attend memorial as his partaking in df state could stumble.
he later told people he observed memorial with emblems privately at home..

Yes I know of one...guy claimed to be anointed, was a right jerk and slandered a pioneer couple, screaming at their faces at a ministry group that they were into spiritisic practices because they did homeopathy.
He was DF, he appealed, the appeal committee upheld the DF and about ten years later he was reinstated and began partaking again.
Clearly he is not mentally right but he still claims to be anointed.

Fair point Smiddy but cases like this one and the Conti case seemed geared not to be about money but about forcing change and settling out of court means the changes do not come. I find it most disappointing that the victim seems geared to take on the WT and go through a lot of things and take a lot of time only to then settle and for the whole thing to disappear.
I see the settlements as a win for the WT.
The victims deserve everything they can get though and I don't blame them at all for settling.

put youir thinking caps on.
by zeb inthis was sent to me from doug shields blog.
for those who like stats and numbers may find this of interest.. 1914 – recognizing the ”the elephant in the room”.
the problem with the date ”1914 ad” lays with the two calendars that are involved – jewish and gregorian.

Yeah I read about this when I was exiting...
Solar Years v Lunar Years isn't it? Just doesn't work...prophecy uses 360 days but fulfillment uses 365.
Cuckoo!!!!

Curious, is he really using FB?

"would you drink a glass of water if it had just a tiny bit of poison in it?"
by stuckinarut2 inno doubt we have all heard that well used "illustration" in public talks etc over the years:.
"if you were handed a glass of water that looked pure, but were told it has just a tiny drop of poison in it, would you drink it?".
the society has used that illustration at length to say we should avoid all influences of every part of the world.. but, as we know, the society has had a track record of errors, false ideas and doctrines.

I wanna use an analogy on Jw's i know since every speaker from stage loves using analogies. I was thinking of one myself
If a forest fire was coming straight at your house and it was 100% going to burn your house down would you add on to your house? (jw's...NO)
So if armageddon is coming 100% we could say it is like that forest fire and it would be foolish to build at this time or invest time and money in much of anything (jw's...YES)
So why the F is it ok for the gb to build a new multimillion dollar complex? (jw's...???)This illustration doesn't work.
JW's will say that buildings dedicated to Jehoover are not the focal point of his anger at the Big A...whilst Jerusalem fell in 70CE it fell because God's own people were the focal point of God's anger. Thus, God's dedicated buildings fell.
BUT...at the Big A Jehoover is saving His people, not punishing them thus buildings dedicated to God may survive the Big A, after all they will need something.
Because at the Big A God's people are not getting punished they will say it is likely that most, some, all or a little of buildings dedicated to Jehoover will be preserved.

The GB have come out and said that they are not inspired and are not infallible and can get things wrong...
And there is no mass walkout as of yet...8 million people are trapped in the concept that it is God's Organisation and is "the truth".
No matter what is said by the GB or printed it does not matter to a JW because they believe in the concept.
They can say all the batshit crazy they want....they can change everything and anything and it simply will not matter to those that believe in the concept that the GB are chosen by a god called "Jehovah".
