How to remain with Jehovah's Witnesses even though you are Awake!

by TerryWalstrom in

jw
friends

thinking is an active process.. evasion is avoiding that action of active thinking which would create a positive difference.

.realizing the truth about the truth.. thinking is the virtue* man prizes most.

all other virtues proceed from thinking.. evasion is the willful suspension of one's consciousness.

The question is - WHY?

Halls closing

by iknowthetruth in

jw
friends

in my city philadelphia they closed many kingdom halls.

my hall was desolved and most of the publishers were added to a congregation that only had 50 publishers.

.

WillYouDFme

WAIT???

I recall a special meeting where we had a live broadcast from the GB about how thousands of halls were needed ASAP? So many congregations were sharing halls - 3 to 6 in one, and they needed more halls!!!

And NO ONE is catching on.
It is hard to believe.

Trashy Watchtower Corporation Carts In Public Places, Can Cities Ban them?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

they have a very big child abuse enabler international reputation in the courts can these things be a reason for banning these stupid ass carts that claims to have all the answers to mans hardest questions.. why should every library have to permit them to plant their lame ass carts close to the entrance.. i'm thinking that soon due to all the bad publicity surrounding the jehovah witness cult leaders that cart witnessing will come to be seen as a very big waste of time by all it's members that have become hall less thus missing a shit load of meeting and a beginning to start thinking for themselves.. i'm sure many jws hate this type of work even now, even though it's an easy way to get your time in and not be labeled inactive or keep the elders off your back.

have you noticed that a lot of carts don't have a jw near by?

i never see anybody at the carts where i live, i've even asked people nearby and nobody knew who put the cart there.

I hate that they are parked on the boardwalk of my favorite beach most weekends in the summer.

I hate that I see them in a local college town I like to hang out in.

And seeing them parked out in front of the White House, in company with the perpetual anti nuke guy, a anti-abortion nut, and chinese dissidents, shows what they have become.

Governing Body of JW's - Bare-faced LIARS!

by The Fall Guy in

w11 8/15 p. 22 questions from readers - “we thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know.

the governing body does not keep a list of all partakers.. see this - s-21-e congregation's publisher record (2018-12).pdf

Again.

I know. It took many years for a Red Flag to go up in my mind.

But when you drink the kool-aid you think the GB are doing what god wants and there is no chance of them being wrong.

Active JW's - Does None of This Bother You?

by The Fall Guy in

thanks to atlantis and his sources, we are able to examine material from the alleged "faithful slave" which is intended only for the eyes of the shepherds wolves in the congregation.. information needed for visit of circuit overseer .

all congregation accounts records covering the period since the last visit, which would include any bankbook being used and the records for any additional accounts being kept by the congregation.

(do you have excess money which should have been given to us?).

"Do not make for yourself an image of God ..."

by stuckinarut2 in

a thought struck me regarding the biblical directive found in a few places including exodus 20:4.

"do not make a likeness of god in the form of any creature that is on the earth or heavens ".

it would seem disrespectful to use "dirty" creatures to describe perfect beings?.

WillYouDFme

What the bible contradictory? NO F-ING WAY!

Evidence of a form of telepathy, science and personal experiences.

by Bad_Wolf in

i believe in rational explanations for everything, whether they are understood yet or not.

medication used to be considered 'magic' until understood how it worked.

on the subject of telepathy, for me it's very subtle but has happened many times.

Hawking in his own words.

He said during an interview with El Mundo in 2014: “Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation. What I meant by ‘we would know the mind of God’ is, we would know everything that God would know, if there were a God, which there isn’t. I’m an atheist.”

“Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing,” the book states. “Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.”
In discussing the book, he told ABC News: “One can’t prove that God doesn’t exist. But science makes God unnecessary. … The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a creator.”

He also explained throughout his life his thoughts on a possible afterlife, saying, “I believe the simplest explanation is, there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization that there probably is no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that, I am extremely grateful.”
In 2011, his comments to the Guardian explained his stance further: “There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.”
