  JW Stumper Questions - List You Best Here

  by pale.emperor in

  hi guys.

  sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.

  just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.

  Has this sale been mentioned? Did a search on here but didn't find anything. Not within the M25, but close-ish to London.

  Do You Think Jehovah's Witnesses Are Typically Ignorant People?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think most witnesses are simple minded.many are ignorant.

  there are a lot of basically "good people "in the religion but i believe many are kind of dumb, including many elders.

  do you agree with my thoughts??

  Ignorant? Yes, for the most part, because of a lack of education. The worst bit is when they mix ignorance with arrogance. It becomes a spiritual armour for them.

  there is a plethora of convention photos on my instagram this morning.

  smiling faces standing next to convention posters with comments like 'nope, i'm not giving up.

  Doubtfully Yours - "Really liked it this year; very entertaining"

  Since when is unadulterated bullshit "entertaining?"

  "Even if this wasn't the truth, I would still stay. This is the best life to live..."

  by HereIgo in

  2. experiences

  i was recently told this by a jw family member when trying to get through to them.

  does this quote indicate that maybe such ones have considered that the jw's may not have the truth after all?

  or is that just my wishful thinking?

  A friend of mine said this just last week. He is an elder, along with a few other youth elders. I told him his head was buried in the sand. He said that was probably true, but he was comfortable with it.

  The most successful teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses and an amazing new book on the divine name

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses have had to revise their chronology and various doctrinal interpretations due to events and scholarly corrections.

  but the one teaching where they have been consistently ahead of the curve is the importance of jehovah's name.. .

  i'm going to run through a (necessarily selective) timeline of jw events and scholarly publications that demonstrate the phenomenal success of this teaching in the last days.

  I was impressed by part of today's symposium entitled ' Safeguard your children from what is evil'

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well i have to give credit where credit is due.

  it was the part of today's symposium - build a house that will endure.

  the part i was most impressed with was 'safeguard your children from "what is evil".

  Bolting the gate after the horse is long gone......

  The Botchtower will still fight for every penny in every lawsuit brought against them.

  And fight tooth and nail against justice for children.

  Its sugar coated words to help keep questioning parents IN, who otherwise might have left.

  I'm far from impressed.

  JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."

  by Muddy Waters in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.

  feel free to add your own observations and experience.

  the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.

  Do you believe in the tooth fairy? Goblins? Aliens?

  If not, why not?
