This is reason 40 why I don't believe or trust Watchtower. Dubtown is too much for Watchtower (Gee-hober) to handle speaks volumes as to why they would go after anyone for a parody Sounds like Gee-hober and Watchtower are very lame.

Degree of Effectiveness of JW Letter Writing Form of Witnessing

by Disillusioned JW in

a newspaper article quotes a jw as saying "every (letter) i put in the mailbox, i feel, 'ah, this could reach somebody.

'" the article also quotes her as saying "we are accomplishing even more now than we were door-to-door because this way everybody in the house gets a chance to pick up that letter and respond to it.

it just feels good.

Do you still debate with JWs?

by punkofnice in

i was talking to an ex-jw.

not been out as long as i have.. cut a long story short, i came to realise that i can no longer be bothered to debate jws if (on the rare occasion), i have encountered them.. i think that because i am somewhere circling a nihilistic atheist it seems pointless.

i just don't have the energy because i rarely even think about jw related garbage.

All depends on what type of JW you debate with.

With a whimper, not a bang

the thread about old timers got me thinking about trends i see with the watchtower.

i've changed my opinion about where the organization stands.

when i joined the religion in 1973 it was dynamic, even the small congregation i attended sent out three or four pioneers.

Before covid hit I had two elders track me down and ask me what it would take to get me to "return to Gee-hober "? First off I informed them that I can't afford to be a JW. They would have to make me the soul only Governing Body- member with a six figure salary. Thanked them and told them to find another sucker. " Be on your away to the next victim. "

With Watchtower 's rebranding efforts we will see alot of people awaking from this sleep that Watchtower created. Sure, more crazy videos and musical numbers all from Jw dot org. Soon and even now people see how ridiculous it is. Watchtower is in for a slow bleeding death.

Were You Ever Interested In Early Watchtower History?

by minimus in

i also was intrigued by the russellites and the break away sects that formed before and after charles taze russell.

i can only imagine what the bible students were thinking when rutherford became the next watchtower president..

Watchtower History is really interesting. Mostly made by two drunk, self-righteous who made up alot of stuff in the 1800 -1900's.
