I can say I’m glad my deluded self didn’t require a life saving blood transfusion while I was a JW.

24Did You Feel That You Were Being Controlled WHILE You Were A Witness?
by minimus ini never fully realized it until i was just about out.
i adopted the attitude that “if mother says so, mother knows best!”.
it took me a long time to conclude they were actually a cult.

Faders Needing a Great One Liner
by Solzhenitsyn inso our family fade is well under way.
we changed congregations as regular attenders and left in good standing with those giving hugs and kisses simply knowing we "needed a change".
we moved to a neighboring congregation that is out of our original region knowing we would see no one and the two boe's wouldn't really have immediate dealings.

I like telling JWs that Anthony Morris is horrible and I can’t stand listening to him speak, and it puzzles me that so many nice JWs venerate such a disgusting person.

Dawkins anti-religion stance is blinding his reasoning, like he has created a brand that he has to protect. Religion is awful at full throttle all the time, and some science..

The Latest "Peoples Magazine" on Occults
by new boy inof course they talk about all the really wacky ones everyone knows about, jones town, charles mason, heaven's gate and branch dravidian.
however if you add up all the unnecessary deaths these cults have contributed too (a thousand and fifty people) it pales in comparison to the number of people who have been directly or indirectly killed my the jehovah's witnesses.
by the way all of the cults mention above are no more, except for the watchtower bible and truck society.. the little ones seem to get all the attention and the big ones just slide on by.. .

You don’t do logic very well. Or perhaps read again what I write. I stated that suicide is more common among those working in construction.
This is true.
I said construction is a probably a common occupation for JWs, they might have a high representation in these jobs.
In Australia, this is true, census data confirms it.
Most importantly, I actually fucking said I don’t believe suicide is more common among JWs. I said it, let it sink in.. you have twisted fucking reasoning.
I don’t think suicides would be higher among JWs. It’s taught that suicide is a major sin and risks no resurrection so this could be factored in.
If suicide was an absolute ticket to the ‘New System’, I think we might see higher rates but the WT has never taught that. They actually suggest the opposit
You’re inventing an argument.. a logical person will notice I’ve never suggested that JWs are more prone to suicide(actually I stated the fucking opposite) and any rise in suicide could anyhow be atributed to occupation and NOT the religion. I quoted Steve2, he was talking statistics.. notice the context and I how I wasn’t ever dogmatic, enjoying constructive conversation with the adults until I was blasted out of context. The point, obviously lost on you, was that there are so many factors it’s silly to speculate.
Keep ranting though, it’s intriguing.

Then you'll easily be able to point to a reference for such a statistic ... right?
Or is it just one of these "surely it must be so!" claims that you just wish were the case? (for some macabre reason)
You think I have a macabre reason for suggesting that perhaps the JWs over represent in trade work? You sound pathetic.
In Australia I can point to the national Census data. The JWs do predominately work in construction.

Our daughter was free to make her own choice.
by StephaneLaliberte inwhen eloise dupuis gave birth to her son in 2016, there were complications where a blood transfusion would have saved her live.
however, she refused and died; to the horror of the medical staff and the entire province of quebec.. two years later, there was a change in politics and the topic came back up in the media.
the parents of eloise dupuis, obviously exhausted by the media coverage, wrote a comment to a well known news paper in quebec.

Independent thinking is discouraged, it’s promoted as dangerous. The idea of God directing everything that happens inside the org runs strong in the mind of a JW, just like the idea of everlasting life on paradise earth. Having freedom of expression and idea puts every relationship you have at risk, Angus Stewart highlighted at the Royal Commission in Australia, the JWs are a captive organisation and the cost of leaving, or even staying for that matter can be high.
The fact the group is encouraged to be extremely insular is beyond denial, it is the main reason why child sex abuse has flourished and always does in groups like this. It’s like big warning siren that screams cult.

very simple yet shows the estimated amount of people that are living that are from the generation of 1914, defined as "all the people who were alive, even just barely being born, when ww1 started".. here's what i assumed:.
10% of the 1.7 billion people alive in 1914 were infants, just children.

Splane did the best joke on overlapping generations. He had a funny chart, it was hilarious.
