  The fact that her protesting has got media attention is great the more that this type of thing hits the media the more people are going to be aware that the JW religion is a cult and one to stay away from.

  Did You Ever Find The Theolgy of JWs Reasonable?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a young man growing up in the religion, i would try to defend whatever the understanding of a doctrine was.

  i won a lot of arguments based on the idea that i knew better than anyone i was talking to and defended myself admirably.

  (lol)....eventually, i realized i was in a cult but for many years i was a believer and i had faith that the gb knew more that i could understand..

  I have to agree with BluesBrother and that I too was at a vulnerable stage in my life when I converted at age 19 believing they had all the right answers as OTWO says.

  I wonder how many of those books behind Splane are now old light and not worth the paper they are printed on.

  A spy's life is a lonely one

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i have been awake since about this time in 2013, so about 5 years.

  and the craziest thing about it is that now, no one, and i mean no one know's i am an apostate.

  meaning, that i don't believe the jw minds set/beliefs at all, and no one knows it.

  Your wicked Pete however it`s not a bad idea except doing it in a KH is far too risky.

  I would suggest dropping this info in their letter boxes in the middle of the night or when you know they are not at home.

  Take care Bro. and keep your cover up .

  Do jw's have any concept of numbers re: population?

  by carla in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking about how jw's like to brag about having 8 million members world wide and thought i might look up just what those numbers really mean in the big scheme of things.

  back in the day when me & my jw were still discussing anything jw he thought that 8 million people couldn't be wrong.

  i tried to tell him what a minuscule amount that really is to no avail.

  Off the top of my head their are more than :

  I Billion Catholics

  1 Billion Muslims

  1 Billion various protestant religions

  Billions more non Christian religions

  And probably today Billions who have no religion

  Just to give it a bit more perspective on how insignificant the JW religion really is.

  And another thought who or how are they this 8 million JW`s going to get rid of all the concrete skyscrapers of the modern city`s around the world ?

  And don`t forget this all has to be done within a thousand years when the loving God Jehovah releases Satan from bondage to mislead mankind again who according to Revelation are as many as the sands on a seashore

  Thank`s God kick us in the guts again

  Good post carla showing the absurdity of JW thinking or should I say non thinking.

  Zeb it must be hard to know TTATT while your wife is a full on believer engaged in all the activities .

  My thoughts are with you my friend and as far as the ARC goes these things never happen at a fast pace where Govts. are concerned

  However I am confident that eventually justice will be the victor in this case .

  take a look at jwleaks latest post .

  And hasn`t the ARC been held up as the benchmark for investigation into child sexual abuse cases around the world ?

  That has to be a plus on it`s own

  Take care my friend

  WOW jwleaks just WOW.!

  No wonder the WTB&TS / Jehovah`s Witnesses and everything else that comes under the JW umbrella is now run by the lawyers / legal department

  Under the new laws you do not have to sue Watchtower Australia. A class action lawsuit could pursue the denomination of Christians known as "Jehovah's Witnesses."

  JW`s in Australia have about 60,000 active members I wonder what the odds are of a class action against "Jehovah`s Witnesses" taking place in the near future .?

  Thank you jwleaks for clarifying this
