Anybody who makes their name in religion are generally insane, egotistical, charismatic and make themselves and their message attractive to a whole load of brainwashed followers who are desperate to believe in something and be led.

wondering
by dogisgod ini was thinking about how paul was able to hijack jesus message.
he never met jesus (claimed an encounter after jesus death that affected his eyesight) .
he was a persecutor of jesus followers.

I’m Sending You My Thoughts and Prayers
by minimus inhow many people here can sincerely say those words to someone?
i take it most here do not say prayers, right?
?.

I don't pray and don't believe in God anymore so to say that they were in my prayers would be worthless.
I tell them that they are constantly in my thoughts and follow up regularly with a phone call or visit if they need one.

I am not going to get into the debates but I am well aware of the English Defence League and the agenda of a lot of the folllowers.
The media perpertuate the problem by not allowing them to have any dialogue which creates a breeding ground of fear and racism amongst some members instead of allowing people to talk about issues and allaying peoples fears and misconceptions.

I don't like the undertones of what he says (racism hiding behind some facts) but I think he has a right to say them and there should be debate and dialogue.

WT Conspiracy Theory - Pinky Ring - DUMB, I know
by cappytan inoh man, i know i'm gonna catch flack for this.. everyone sees masonic conspiracies everywhere.. i am not a conspiracy theorist.
i don't honestly believe the governing body are freemasons.. yet, probably due to cruising this site and seeing all the masonic conspiracy threads, i saw this when looking for a shot of lett's pinky ring to show how he wore one in october, but then took it off in may to ask for money.. .
original is on the left, and on the right, i played with the brightness/contrast to get it to show up a little better.. what does the pattern on his ring look like to you?.

Would this 'secret' be kept from ALL the elders, Bethelites and Overseers?
I was an elder and Bethelite and knew lots of Circuit and District Overseers (as was) and there wasn't even a whisper of such a thing.
I don't understand the point of this thread. Are we now saying that the Borg is now run by the Masons?
Why not say that the Pope is also in on it as well and it is all the same organisation just with different names.
PS. Have you ever been a JW before WildSteve?

This is just a conspiracy theory and doesn;t really have a place here.
The JW's are guilty of a lot of things but this isn't one of them.

What is the current pulse in the organization with the reductions?
by SouthCentral ini have not seen jehovah’s witnesses in my neighborhood for several years now.
it appears that the cart witnessing has taken over.
congregations are being consolidated and witnesses are being forced to travel a greater distance than before.the burdens/privileges of elders seem to be ever increasing!.

For a lot of them it just confirms that they really are in "the last days" and that the end is imminent. It seems to strengthen their faith even more.
The carts simply give a presence. They are an easy way to get hours in and for many it beats plodding the streets knocking on empty houses.
I feel pity for them watching them doing such a fruitless mind-numbing task being a gawped at or most ignored as they stand around looking miserable or texting.
I used to feel like a traitor not stopping to introduce myself when I used to visit new towns while on business, but now I shudder when I walk past them as fast as I can. I get irritated with how pathetic they look and am so thankful that I am free and not part of it.

Apostasy: The Movie - Directed by Daniel Kokotajlo
by darkspilver indaniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.
family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.
set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

I am telling EVERYBODY I know to go and see it because of it's true depiction. They can see for themselves how JW's treat family members who do anything deemed 'worldy'.
It is well balanced, without any apparent bitterness or agenda. It is just a true to life fact based story.
People can come to their own conclusions.
It is a BBC and a lottery production which means that within a year it will be on TV (in the UK).
It is raising awareness already.

How Would You Prove To A JW That They Are Wrong?
by minimus inwhat could you say to prove to a witness that they simply do not have the truth?.
-

Exelder
I wouldn't even bother.
As soon as they even sniiff that your views are apostate or different to what they have been brainwashed with, they turn into Batfink and protect themselves with "wings of steel".
The organisation has done a fantastic job in fooling them into thinking that they are well informed, free-thinking 'Boreans' who have proved to themselves that they have 'the truth' without even considering any other evidence apart from what they have been drip fed over the years.
In my experience, they only start to 'doubt' if they have had a fall out with somebody in the congregtion or an elder has been sharp with them, shattering their little illusion. The happier they are 'in the truth' the more resilient they are.
The doubs have to come from 'within' not from outside sources.
