TROUBLED MAN EXPOSES ELDERS CULT MENTALITY IN DOVER UK

by raymond frantz in

troubled man exposes elders cult mentality in dover uk.

(watch the video till the end).

breaking in to kingdom halls and disturbing peaceful meetings is hardly the way to go when it comes to positive activism .nevertheless these incidents seem to become more frequent recently as the watchtower vehemently refuses to engage in a meaningful way with the problems of policy and doctrine that seem to trouble many jehovahs witnesses .that, coupled with the ever extending ex- jehovahs witnesses community and their harsh disfellowshiping practises is creating a new era where disturbances of that short will only become more frequent.

I think this does absolutely nothing to wake anyone up. It's to hostile and sets up an automatic defence inside and out of a person.

JWs Social Media and Alcohol

by jw07 in

a great part of social media's allure is that it makes some persons less conscious about revealing what interests them.

i've noticed an interesting trend in how jws (that i know) express their use of alcohol.. i have around 600 associates on on facebook, and just over 100 on instagram.

of that amount around 1/3 are jws, but i realise that they make the most posts about alcohol, and have the longest chain of comments on those posts.

gda

Yes

I have made that observation with my calua and coffee.

Why isn't the story of SAMPSON quickly and clearly regarded a myth?

by Terry in

judges chapter 15:.

14 when he came to lehi, the philistines shouted triumphantly at meeting him.

then jehovahs spirit empowered him,+ and the ropes on his arms became like linen threads that were scorched with fire, and his fetters melted off his hands.+ 15 he now found a fresh jawbone of a male donkey; he reached out and grabbed it and struck down 1,000 men with it.+ 16 then samson said: with the jawbone of a donkeyone heap, two heaps!

I like all the giant nephalim skeletons found all over the world. HUGE with double rows of teethe and 6 fingers. Russia found the famed myth half man half goat skeleton.... that was really bizzar.

friends

hello one and all.. the local jws had a booth set up at my university today and something just came over me.

i went to a computer, found a list of failed prophecies, printed and stapled it, and walked over to the middle aged woman and the 10-ish years old girl.

the woman said "if you are interested in anything, take it for free.
