Hellaby UK circuit A$$emb£y this Sunday

by punkofnice in

my spies tell me that the attendance for hellaby this last sunday was only 600.. that's all i know.

i imagine some on here have perhaps some more insights into why.

however, it seems rather low, don't you think?.

Lawyer from Canada Bethel turns whistleblower

by krismalone in

lawyer from canada watchtower branch reveals how the watchtower protects pedophiles.

he had the courage to speak up against the evil policies that protect pedophiles.

this video needs to go viral.

smiddy3

This is an old video! I've always wondered who that was

Lets get a few things straight from the outset :

1.How old is this video ?

2.The video does not identify him as a Lawyer ,he is only an Elder (?) who is assigned to the legal department to answer phone calls.

3. The fact that his identity is obscured either by name or visual has to take away belief/accuracy/truthfulness from his testimony.?

4.If your not prepared to back up your accusations in a public forum/media and being upfront about it then don`t make such accusations you do no one a service except raise questions about your own agenda..

Just my 2 cents worth.

I know what he says sounds correct and logical but he does no service to those he is supposed to be protecting or those he is supposed to be accusing if he is hiding his identity .

It would be far better if he said nothing at all ,it`s just sensational journalism that can`t be verified.

I await the backlash

Outside JW World They Barely Exist

by Farmer Jim1 in

jw
friends

is anyone else staggered by the fact that outside of the organization most of the general public seem to know very little or nothing about jw’s?

when i was in i was led to believe that 99% of the worlds population had been giving sufficient warning, knew what it was all about and were stubbornly sticking to their immoral ways.

the reality seems to be that the entire jw universe is barely noticeable to the masses.

10 million people are born every month. It is mathematically impossible for JWs to preach to the entire world and simply keep up with the birth rate.

This is just another example of where JW`s speak out of both sides of their mouth .

They have stated in their publications that not every single person needs to be witnessed to , just the fact that they have "Witnessed " to every continent on the earth to fulfill the prophecy that the "Good News is To be Preached In All The Inhabited Earth"

They pointed out that the scriptures do not say that every individual has to be preached to .

And that it is up to Jehovah/Jesus as to who is to be saved or not.

I`m sorry I can`t remember the articles that contained those words ,maybe somebody else can.

It was at least 25 years ago.

Polish EX-JW Activism compilation video

by WTS Archive in

i'd like to show you a short video i made about exjw activism in poland.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt3qdtyxgd8.

i'm one of the people responsible for those information campaigns/protests, so you can ask me anything you like.

there's a lot i didn't show on the video because of the limited time i have for editing, i have tons of footage more.

smiddy3

I have mixed feelings about this sort of activism maybe some of the younger ones may wonder what`s going on and their curiosity is aroused so that they may eventually seek out sites like this ,it certainly would have no effect in my book on the older generation who are well indoctrinated against this sort of behavior no matter how peaceful they are.

However I suppose it takes all kinds of methods to be employed to reach as many people as we can.

A dent here a dent their ,here their and everywhere and sooner or later a breach is made in the wall enslaving a Jehovah`s Witness to the cult masquerading as "The True Religion"

Unwritten Theory

by moreconfusedthanever in

have any of you heard some theories from jws that are not based on scripture?

i have, in the past few days, heard a couple that have me shaking my head.. first one is that since satan was around during the creation period and probably watched on as things were being made, it is possible that he is responsible for the creation of some of the more hideous and nasty creatures that live among us.

surely god wouldn't make horrible things.. second one is that satan already had a bad attitude before the creation of adam and eve and was collecting followers among the other angels early on and stirring trouble.

It`s like a judge who punishes and sentences the victim to a life of misery rather than the perpetrator of the crime with no punishment whatsoever except for the never ever plan sometime in the distant (far distant) future.

God will not let you suffer more than you can bare.

by StephaneLaliberte in

i had a conversation with an old jw friend and he spent a good part of the evening preaching to me.

as i am “inactive”, i am forced to stay low, thus, i was not argumentative.

yet, at one moment, he said that angels protect jws in field service and other situations.

The Extremes of The Watchtower Bible and Tract Scoiety

by The_Seeker in

i have been reading through the posts over the last few days and something occurred to me, an epiphany, if you will.

people don't leave the jw's, especially those raised in the religion, simply because it is easier for them to continue to believe a lie even when faced with the truth.

the ability to think critically is something that most jws lack, we all know this to be true, but i truly believe many of them are simply too lazy to try anything different.

smiddy3

I believe you have a valid point The seeker.

They are so accustomed to having someone tell them what to do in every situation that they do not want to have to make decisions for themselves.

And that`s because they are so indoctrinated to do so when they had the book study and the Watchtower study whereby you were asked the question and the answer was already for you to just repeat .

repetition,repetition,repetition,over many,many ,many years is indoctrination,which is in turn brainwashing.

That is also why so many who leave the religion never shake off the chains that bind them to the religion .

In one sense they leave the religion and they may outwardly seem to live a normal life (do things that would get them DF if they were still attending but because their not they rationalize it ) however the religion never leaves them because of their indoctrination and they may not even be aware of it.

As much as I would love that to be true I would like to see verification of those numbers ,it just doesn`t sound right.

I hope I am wrong.
