New convention video
by Olig inso i've just seen a snippet of a new convention release, and it's obviously a reenactment (bloody poor one - look at the state of the disposable beards lol!
) of bible times.. the chap speaking is heard saying if your family members turn away and serve false gods, you should kill them!.

More sick and twisted propaganda from the Old Testament (aka “The Hebrew Scriptures”). It’s a good thing that the majority of mainstream Abrahamic religions ignore these evil, tribalistic ideas. Those that don’t are dangerous groups and should be treated as such.

The Governing Body members don’t want anyone to have a pet because pets will love you regardless of whether or not you believe the nonsense spouted in WT publications, and that makes the GB fools jealous.
Lets review: It’s a cult!

I got a college education and became a high school science teacher where I teach young minds how to think for themselves. I followed the Bachelor’s up with a Master’s in Education.
I also took up the study of martial arts. I enjoy the physical fitness aspects of it as well as the confidence I have gained by learning how to defend myself in hand-to-hand combat as well as against weapons whether or not I am also armed.
I watch whatever movies I want, even R-rated ones. Occasionally I’ll smoke a cigar. I tried cannabis oil a couple of times.
I swear whenever I fucking want to, or not
I sleep in on weekends if I want.
I’ve given several presentations at conferences and workshops for current and former cult members on how to heal and rebuild one’s life after leaving a cult.
I now only spend time with people who love and appreciate me for WHO I am, not WHAT I (pretended to) BELIEVE.
In other words: I’m now living my life on my terms, not one dictated to me by some ignorant, uneducated and delusional cult-leader. (Think: Stephen Lett.)
It’s all good.

What Views or Beliefs Do Jehovah’s Witnesses No Longer Teach?
by minimus inevidently they have changed their creative day from being 7000 years per day.
all blood transfusions were taboo but now blood fractions might be allowed to be taken into the body.
vaccinations were sinful at one time but not now.. can you name other views or beliefs that have changed from being considered “truth” to no longer “the truth “?.

SBF: The term “soul sleep” is not one JWs tend to use for their belief.
This is, of course, another sign of a cult: They need to change terminology and/or redefine the meaning of words to give the illusion of being unique or special, which in reality they are not.

Agreed.
The point being that the current JW religion bears very little resemblance to what it was even a few decades ago (I joined in 1984) let alone what it's founder, C. T. Russell, had in mind.

Apparently Anthony Morris III's Macallan account is running low. Or maybe he's just planning ahead!

SBF: I can think of a way they could turn this around to their advantage: Watchtower could lay a heavy stress on JWs trying to convert family, friends and acquaintances. . . . If this was part of a deliberate strategy . . . they could . . . designate the first Sunday of the month “bring a friend” day.
Except, that won't work because:
Of course JWs face the problem that they are not supposed to keep close friendships outside the religion,
Hmmm!
Self-induced wounds are always a peculiar kind of painful.

SBF, the implication was concerning beliefs which were unique to Russell's theology/religion, or at least which are commonly perceived to be unique. Perhaps I should have made that explicit.
