Study edition august 2018 about news sources

by Gorbatchov in

the study edition of august 2018 mentions the 3 reliable news sources for jehovah's witnesses:.

"breaking news" at jw.org.

"news" at jw.org.

Is JW.Org News anymore up to date than "Awake Watching The World" I certainly hope so though I don`t think it would be any less biased and selective in their "news"

I`m pretty sure the flood of News Articles ,Print ,TV, and on line that are coming soon is going to overwhelm the organization that they will have to go into damage control that I personally do not think they will emerge unscathed from .

Sure they will still exist as a religion but nothing like they have been in the past .

Their glory days have long gone .

"Chicken Soup for the Apostate Soul."

by ChessaM in

my article detailing my experience as a witness and dealing with child sexual abuse as well as outing my abuser is soon to be released.

(i'm told in the next week or so.

) barbara anderson encouraged me to post here.

I wish you well and success in all of your projects and welcome Chessa.

Some may wish to contact you via the pm option on this site .

The amount of people who are coming out wanting to expose this religion is mind boggling ,surely their must be an accounting of/ from them from law Enforcement`s .Governments , Charities Commission`s , Not For Profit Organizations ,Real Estate tax Evasion , etc.etc.

The chickens must come home to roost sooner or later don`t they ?

Favourite Quirky / Low Budget / Non-Mainstream Movies

by Simon in

so the recent topic about film franchises got me thinking.

sure, we all love the big budget, mainstream releases that are so successful they spawn never-ending (it sometimes seems) sequels.

we could watch marvel and star-wars movies for the rest of our lives (and we might just ...).. but y'know what i love?

smiddy3

When were Primer and Time Lapse released ? they look interesting .

Abyss was a movie I loved some years ago.

Anybody remember "Robinson Crusoe On Mars ?" I saw that years ago on TV and have never seen it anywhere since.

" The Man From Planet X" a British film if I remember correctly maybe around the 50`s or 60`s ?

"The Time Machine" with Rod Taylor and their was another interesting one with Roddy Mcdowell and/ as jack the Ripper using the Time Machine .

I love these movies .

"Apostasy" is worse than...??

by stuckinarut2 in

it is funny to contemplate how ridiculous the act of shunning "apostates" who leave the org for conscientious reasons is.. so we have been rudely ignored and even abused by jws who :.

1) have been imprisoned recently for dishonest business practices and fraud worth millions of dollars.

2) have been bankrupt several times.

smiddy3

I find it funny that Jehovah and Jesus Christ never shunned Satan and Jehovah is going to give his buddy Satan a free pass to cause havoc on mankind after Jesus Christ 1000 year rule ends . Job , Mat, Revelation .

But he is a God of love isn`t he .

What’s your favorite "News" website?

by Wonderment in

news in general are supposed to be unbiased.

but given how commercial and political interests get their tentacles around them, finding a fully unbiased news website is not so easy.. here in america some would rather trust bbc or reuters than they do cnn or fox news.

any favorites?.

I put a like to that jwleaks

How credible are NWT’s critiques?: R. H. COUNTESS and John 1:1, Part I.

What i am saying is that the WT used the Greek text "and God was the word" and then they interpret it to mean "the word was a god"

Christians claim that the Bible is the word of God ,Gods word ,they either believe what it says or they want to "interpret" what God meant to say.

Is God so incompetent that he can`t say what he means ? or that he does not mean what he says ?

The reason that their are over 40,000 Christian sects in the world is simply because they all interpret the scriptures to what God meant to say according to their own agenda and not what is stated in the oldest existing manuscripts .

That`s just my 2 cents worth.

Cults and extreme belief

by Butyoucanneverleave in

a&e has a new show this season called cults and extreme belief.

the second episode will air on 5/29 at 9:00 pm and jehovah's witnesses will be featured.

hopefully they do a good job exposing them for what they really are.

smiddy3

And JWs will cry "apostate driven lies" and "persecution" when that show gets aired...

Just got this quote from A&E web site and sad to say it will be from former members, so any current JW will just blame apostates for their lies on this show. Its worth a watch though.

Who cares what "they" JW`s think or say the majority of people who watch it will be non J.W.`s and they will be informed as to what a cult the J.W.religion is ? and they wont be new recruits ,ever .

I would just quote the "Kingdom Interlinear of The Christian Greek Scripture" by the WTB&TS emphasizing the word for word translation "and god was the word"
