  Leah Remini and Scientology show

  by blownaway in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been watching leah remini's show about scientology.

  as she interviews people i see that i was right many years ago when i said this is a lot like the jws.

  they do not go after people quite the same way but they sure are very similar in how they run their org.

  Witnesses vying for "who has the biggest trials to cope with"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it struck me that witnesses have mastered the art of revelling in "trials and problems" that require "enduring".

  of course, the persecution complex, and the paranoia about these "wicked last days" no doubt contributes to this.. if one witness has some health issue, or if another has a family drama, they seem to revel in sharing these stories amongst their witness friends...almost in an attempt to elicit sympathy.. has anyone else noticed this?.

  most normal people though outside of the org, simply recognise that life has its ups and downs, and need to be dealt with..

  Watchtower today

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  shame to see our multi bilion property and media corporation asks for the last coins of an indian child, the coconuts from a sri lanka man and the last olive oil of a greek poor.. message to the poor is: no money, then your other belongings are belonging to jehova (read:jw.org).. at the end of the article i can click on a donate button and get a visa / mastercard sign om my screen.. follow the money: were are the property bilions?.

  Did You Enjoy Your "Vacations " As a JW?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we went on "vacation " every year because we were jehovah's witnesses!

  we were so fortunate to stay in a cheap hotel more often than not so that we could enjoy a witness convention.. we never enjoyed a real vacation though until many years later and the funny thing is---so many jws thought it was so materialistic because we went on more than one "vacation " per year..

  Is The Watchtower Corporation Facing A Meltdown Of Confidence Among Its Members?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  looking at all the narcissistic bull shit the watchtower corporation has been spewing out for the world to see about suffering of its members to as nothing worth being very concerned about and as jehovah magnificent be vindicated is much more important.

  have they really gone off their rocker enough for a very sizable portion of membership to see their insanity and jump ship?.

  i think definitely they are losing all respect from their internet savy members as their madness becomes obvious.

  Just A Thought Regarding The Bunker Video

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as ridiculous as the bunker video was, a few things popped into my consciousness as i was riding the train today.

  firstly, why did they go to all the expense and effort to not only create a bunker, but to furnish it like a living room complete with coffee table, armchair, shelves etc?

  i mean, a bunker should be a bunker... boxes of tinned food, tools, medical supplies, emergency gear etc.

  Last Week's Watchtower had something that made people start questioning things?

  by silentbuddha in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just got a call from a friend who said that something in last weeks watchtower caused a number of people in various congregations to start questioning things, and several long time elders left.

  i am totally out of the loop but i do read things here and i heard of no such thing.. something to the effect that jw's and governing boobies are not inspired or something along those lines?.
