  Diligence and Enthusiasm - LDS vs JWs

  by Rivergang in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on a scale of 1 to 100, i would put the lds in the high 90s, and the witnesses at about minus 10.. these days (well, around here at least) one encounters the mormon missionaries all over the place.

  if they are not knocking at your door, they are approaching you out in the street.

  of late, this has been happening all the bloody time!.

  i’m still an elder and i consider myself jw light.

  as my fellow elders are.

  this is a court case filed in august 2021 by the zalkin law firm.

  deborah hines vs watchtower and the governing body.. what's interesting is;.

  "ny already set a precedent that an unincorporated group can be sued for its action and has specifically said this case can move forward.

  The Share of Religious Americans will continue to decline- New York Times. Why? New Pew Study

  by Balaamsass2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  locally, in northern california i have seen/heard a drop in jw and mainstream church attendance especially in person attendance.

  (exception: a new creepy local new-age charismatic/pentecostal group: "bethel church" 11,000 and growing mega church(kundalini yoga/sex combined with prosperity gospel, trumpism, guns, rock music, dancing, glitter, speaking in tongues, and faith healing).. for me this paragraph sums it up regarding jehovah's witnesses: " ...smith described organized religion to me as having become a “polluted” idea in the american mainstream, because of the publicity around sex abuse scandals and financial malfeasance in many different faiths in the ’80s and ’90s as millennials came of age.

  “the scandals violated most of the virtues believed to make religion good,” smith wrote.

  What are some of the more exceptional self-authenticating claims made by Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let's start the ball rolling with two connected claims.. the religion of jehovah’s witnesses is the one true religion.

  all other religions are satanic, including all the churches of christendom..

  JWs and the Lord's Prayer

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how often do you hear the lord's prayer at the meetings or in jw homes?.

  i don't know if they revised their stance with the new leaders in america, but i don't recall it having much weight when i were a wee'un.. i think the nwt said, 'pray then, this way....'.

  so, jesus gave instructions on how to pray, as in actual words to say.......so the jws don't?

  A stupid, pointless story of "humility" on JWTalk

  by ukpimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  https://jwtalk.net/topic/60143-sighjust-another-lesson-in-humility-for-tim.

  if you can stomach reading this brother's experience via this link, please let me know your views.

  for one thing, i'm absolutely dumbfounded that this website jwtalk even exists considering all the warnings the governing body have given the org on not creating their own websites.
