this is my first time posting here, although i have been a visitor to it for around a year.

after doing a simple google search under "jehovah'switnesses" over a year ago, i found ttat.

i was deeply unhappy with the congregation and decided to educate myself, and boy what an education i have gotten so far.

AMATEURS using BAD METHODS: what possible expertise does the GB possess?

by Terry in

let's start with a very basic common sense question.. if you needed surgery would you go to a graduate of medical school who had been practicing for awhile,.

or would you go to an amateur who told you god would be telling him how to peform surgery?.

don't laugh.. it is a serious question!.

Being a sycophant is the only real skill required to move up in the WT org. The GB have proved to be the best.

The GB members are amatures, spiritual hacks.

I have concluded that the success of the WT in spite of these amatures, is due to the appeal of living forever on earth and how easy it is to fool humans.

Treatment of DFed family members. JW.org FAQ vs Nov 2014 WT

by EndofMysteries in

on jw.org faq, " do jehovahs witnesses shun former members of their religion?, those who were baptized as jehovahs witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned.....what of a man who is disfellowshipped but whose wife and children are still jehovahs witnesses?

the religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain.

the marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue.".

If you must be a fence sitter, at a minimum stop contributing any $ to this organization.

The JW pedophile community should be quite happy that at these conventions, there was no outright condemnation of pedophilia, or change in WT policy to emphasize the protection of children in the congregation.

Satan and the demons, ghosts, spirits, fortune tellers. Are they real?

by KateWild in

i believe in god.

i don't believe he punishes or rewards people.

so by the same extention i don't believe any spirit beings can communicate with or influence humans.. many who do not believe in god though, have gone to fortune tellers.

Stealth

I knew a fortune teller or as she prefered to be called a spritualist for 20 years before she died at the age of 96. She started when she was a young girl in a covered wagon, so did this her entire life.

When at home away from her office and with family, what she did was never spoken of, and neither did any of the family.

The truth of the matter is this: At best, they are a poor man's psycologist! Nothing more. People have problems, poor people have more problems. Many poor people don't have insurance. After a $10 or $20 visit from Madame C, and they leave feeling a bit better.

At worst, its a con for the money alone.

I drove Madame C. to her office once, she was quite old and I had to help her up the stairs to her office. To my surprise, she had a sign hanging on the wall that said, "Attend a church of your choice" and it had a picture of a church on it. I really didn't expect that.

This is how I view fortune tellers to this day, they are a poor man's psycologist.

in your notepad, make two columns, label the first 'Jesus' and the second 'Governing Body'

Everytime you hear those words make a mark and report back the total for each.

You ever notice how personalities change when CO comes around?

by dugout in

friends

isn't it sickning when normaly people in the cong don't even speak to you.

but when the co visits comes they want to shake your hand and even (cringe) hug you?

then as soon as he leaves back to normal.

Stealth

Same here. I was so repulsed, that I refused to go in service the week of the CO's visit. Of course I was labeled as a brother with a BA (Bad Attidute).

The other thing that rubbed me the wrong way, was the swithcing of the meetings to different nights of the week when he came. There was no considertaion for those who happened to arrange their work scheudles so they could attend weekly meetings. Then just because the CO comes to town people would have to make special requests to employers for the convienece of the CO.

Kelle Jarka Murder trial

by truthseekeriam in

is being followed daily at www.swrnn.com for those interested.. this afternoons coverage said he was an elder at the time of the murder.. i think when the story first came out no one was sure if he was or not..

Stealth

Awake: All good questions. Unfortunately dead people can't talk.

I believe he killed her primaraly for the money.

They most certainly had some serious issues in light of the middle night visit by the elder just hours before the murder.

I also blam watchtower policy in that they make it very difficult to get a divorce.
