  I Don't think the jw kids today are afraid of the Elders or the Governing Body, like the jw kids of pre-internet era.

  something i've notice with born in jw kids posting on reddit, is that they have no problem telling off the elders.

  this generation of born in jw kids just have no fear of who the elders represent because they know from researching on the internet, that jehovah is a created character by ancient people, and no different or real, than thanos.. these kids know exactly what's going on with the child sexual abuse in the organization.

  they also have read and memorized the elder's book online.

  When I was a Jw kid and "forced" to be one. I did my best to stay clear of elders. I was never afraid of those assholes. They where comical to watch as the pranks I would pull on them.

  WT study 7-11

  par 7. jws are proud of bring uneducated to the point of being anti education.. par 8. the boreans studied what they were told and verified it, unlike the forbidden research now.

  a religion that sprang from the adventist movement in the 1800s, founded in america, headquartered in america but not american.

  🤯.

  It is not so much the lack of education, it is the failure to use critical thinking skills the seeing of both sides and making an informed judgment call.

  Most doubts aren't created by apostates. They are created in a Kingdom Hall.

  i found this interesting perspective on reddit.. post;.

  i remember the moment the first real crack in my faith happened as a jehovah's witness.

  i was sitting in the kingdom hall during the watchtower study where, as is common, the article was talking about how the israelites as a nation abandoned jehovah.. "but wait," i thought, "having a nation represent him here on earth was part of his plan.

  Serious bible students questions about the bible

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many jws (and others) are serious about their biblical studies, but don't ask the right questions.

  in basic journalism one learns to ask the right questions which in my years here, i've never hear asked.. who, what, where, by what help, by whose help, why, how and when.

  these are all basic questions when researching anything that you want to write an article or paper on what ever related subject.. who wrote/created the bible?.

  The bus stop analogy

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  suppose we were naïve observers, given the following data, and asked to draw a conclusion.

  we see people gather at a busy bus stop several times a day.

  at first one person, then another, and another, until they form a group.

  I have seen a picture of a bus going in circles with a sign saying Armageddon just around the corner. This is a good picture of the concept of JWism.
