Newbies

by Ding in

jwn is getting a lot of newbies.. if you are a newbie, what was it that started you posting here?.

was it the "new light" on the "faithful and discreet slave" or something else?.

I came here due to an older sibling that had begun to "study again" (even tho they were a born- in baptized dfed in the 80's like myself) I kinda knew the history, Russell, Franz etc......but thought I would give the wts the benefit of the doubt. I Started with the NWT and the rest was history. I have no idea why I started there but it seemed a good place to start. I started with their credibility and translation of the NWT and it was like a snowball effect. Then came across the UN scandal....I never saw that coming! lol I have been out for 28 years but that indoctrination NEVER goes away! I was scared to come here at first so lurked quite awhile! What I thought was going to be a JW BASHING turned out to be quite the opposite. I came here and GLAD I did, this is a great place to come and has helped me alot.

Hi all.......sorry I cannot post videos yet, but Danmera on youtube did a video on the "Selma and Steve" article. (Can someone post it here?) She had planned to send the article to every domestic abuse center she could find and encouraged everyone else to do the same. Maybe that had some pull as to "this article" as the wts had probably gotten alot of unwanted attention? But to me wts has not changed thier agenda as they are still pushing that the bible education can change that violent situation. As far as Isabel..........her entire neighborhood shunned her? What?

Momentum Builds

if possible it would be great to send a copy of the new "shepherding" book and the recent confidentiality letter to contacts in the media.

the society will try to paint this as an isolated case and that it is in no way related to their policies.

the documents mentioned above show that this is not the case.. what is next?

stuckinamovement.........

Crazy Weird Quotes in 1/15 WT Article - WT Society Opinions-Nothing More

by flipper in

jw
friends

i won't follow a theme on this thread .

i'm just going to supply weird quotes from the current 1/15 wt article " keep drawing close to jehovah " and then you can draw your own takes and conclusions on these insane " opinions " from the wt society.. paragraph 3 : " marketers cleverly convince people that they must have the latest products.

one young man so passionately desired a particular tablet computer that he secretly sold one of his kidneys to buy it.

paragraph 14................I did a google search about eagles and you are #8 on that list Flipper! It is totally RARE that an eagle will drown for not letting go, due to hunger or being to far out in the water. In fact.........they are great swimmers, and they control their talons. wtbt$....just silly writings. lol

God in your brain....

by EntirelyPossible in

just came across an interesting study.

during brain scans, when people were asked how they felt about something, the same part of the brain was active as when they were asked how god felt about something.

when asked how other people felt about something, however, a different part of the brain was at work.. specifically, the portion of the brain that was active when asking people how god felt about things was the portion of the brain associated with self-referential thinking.... people are literally making god up in their own image as they go.

EP......thanks for your post! sometimes when things are posted they aren't up for heated debate.

many thanks!

Do we have an update on how many NEWBIES have joined in 2012 ?

by smiddy in

jw
friends

i think with every year their are more and more newbies that identify with this site , would you like to say " hi ", if you have joined in the last 12 months ?.

does anybody have a graph of the numbers of newbies who have joined in say the last 5 years ?.

i think that would be interesting.
