  Every so often I receive a very uncomplimentary email thru my website from a JW. Want to read it?

  by AndersonsInfo in

  their email address is: xxxxx.

  and their message is:.

  you probably would say, 'i didn't abandon him, i can still serve him on my own.

  this person is kind of answering his/her own questions while simultaneously spewing the drivel theyve been indoctrinated with. they are looking at your website, and watched the nbc special, no very big no-nos.

  i kinda think this person is doubting, but is so terrified by that doubt they are lashing out in fear and desperation. in the twilight hours before a person finally really wakes up they take one step forward in trepidation (like visiting your site) and then two steps back clinging to what is familiar. 'the devil you know...'

  i hope this person finds their way, the truth about the "truth" is what they already suspect.

  i hope they find their way here.

  Old out-of-touch JWs using antiquated terms

  by sir82 in

  ever notice how completely out of touch some (most?

  ) public speakers are?.

  last week we had a speaker ramble on for fully 1/3, maybe 1/2, of his 30 minute talk on the evils of "rap music".. i don't believe the term "rap music" has been uttered by anyone under the age of 40 for at least 20-25 years.. this week we got another "older gentleman" warning us about the pervasive dangers of "internet chat rooms".. again - didn't "chat rooms" die out about the same time as dialing up to connect to aol?.

  The Watchtower Society Cripples Their Own Preaching Work

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if there's one scripture that defines the entire purpose of a jehovah's witness's existence, it's matthew 24:14.

  "this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.".

  this is the entire purpose of going door to door.

  YES! The masterbation video is a perfect example of the point I'm trying to make.

  The org is really putting forth effort to look normal and mainstream to the public (see the spin in the FAQ section of jw.org) and not like the type of society that maintains such a tight grip (hee hee) on its members (hee hee. sorry cant resist) that it commands them not to even masterbate.

  It also doesnt want the public to see:

  1. The way it describes non-members (worldly people)

  2. The way members are forbidden to associate with non-members

  3. The judicial process and subsequent shunning that occurs when members associate with non-members

  All contained in the drama.

  Because the public (unlike the members) can tell right away it's bat s**t crazy.

  AND after noticing how bats**t crazy it is, they are highly likely to post unflattering comments on it. And we all know how well they respond to critiscism...

  Soooo many. Too hard to pick just one...

  The thing with the blood doctrine that I dont get is there seems to be no real motive with it. Everything else you can put your finger on something they get out of it (like the FDS teaching = more power for they GB) but if they dropped the blood issue they would stand to lose nothing, doesnt effect them...so why stick to it?

  That is a good point, but thats not their motivation.

  They know full well their "Dramas"TM are just BS and not a "life saving message".

  They are also well aware of how their material directed at members would appear to the general public, the unindoctrinated...

  In other words, they know that their talks, and dramas appear cultish and creepy. For PR reasons they dont want the general public seeing the material they prepare for their indoctrinated members (another example of this is the separation of the "public" and "study" editions of the WT. Having a private members only edition gives them greater freeness of speech...to get down & dirty with the mind control and manipulation). So they yank these things from the internet as quickly as possible.

  Yet Another secretly recorded Judicial Meeting for you...

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yet another secretly recorded judicial committee hearing...the hero of this story is rachel... this brave and funny kiwi lady stands up to the local elders and goes through this scary situation with grace and logic and so much class!.

  bravo to her husband who comes along to support her and her goal is to awaken and perhaps reach the hearts of these men that are poised to spiritually execute her.

  this goes right against the false label applied to so-called apostates by the wt society that they are insincere, slanderous people out to hurt the faith of others.. listen to the story unfold as rachel boldly shares her research and her conscience with these men.
