How many Witnesses would drink the cool aid at a "Jonestown?"

by Witness 007 in

so my mum died from mild form of lukemia which can simply be treated with a blood transfusion each month.

to me this was a watchtower assisted suicide.

the liaison elder encouraged her to "stay strong" and said a prayer.

A friend of mine related an experience to me about this subject. He found out an uber JW he knows declared that if a GB member said red was blue that person would believe it.

I had heard the same such thing started at a C.A. many years ago .

And J.W.`s today are being conditioned to blindly accept and do whatever the G.B. directs them to do,whether they understand it or not ? or even think its unreasonable or even illogical ,the faithful Witness .of Jehovah will loyally OBEY the direction given him/her by the faithful & Discreet Slave.

And isn`t that the very reason why so many thousands ? have died refusing a blood transfusion since the 1940`s ?

Why is the watchtower tight fisted

by pepperheart in

why when i can get many books and magazines sent through the post from many other cults does the watchtower make a big fuss about a little 16 page magazine.

Televangelists like Jimmy Swaggart or Joyce Meyer have no problem selling religious literature ,CD`s ,Bibles and Bible Aids of all sorts and still make a good profit and income .

They have no problem paying taxes on what they sell ,their still making money from it all .

The G.B.of J.W.`s will come around one day and do the same just like they did with ATM`s in K.H.`s which they at first ridiculed Christendom for doing.

WT Child/Sexual Abuse Cases and etc

by jdash in

i had this argument with my grandmother and uncles about scandals that the jw's covered up and whatnot, and they won't budge.

i brought up the australian royal commission and of course they laughed.

they then said that the governing body has never lost a sexual abuse case but the "person" who did the crime got charged.

"Jehovah's Witnesses abhor child abuse and strive to protect children from such acts. Watchtower is pursuing appellate review," the Office of Public Information at the World Headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses said in a "Jehovah's Witnesses abhor child abuse and strive to protect children from such acts. Watchtower is pursuing appellate review," the Office of Public Information at the World Headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses said in a statement.

And that`s all blindsided Jehovah`s witnesses want to see ? Some have their head in the sand and others have their head up their arse ?

Their are none so blind as those who dont want to see>

And that is a truism of Jehovah`s Witnesses .

Keeping Track Of The Brothers During The Great Tribulation

by new boy in

jw
friends

i couldn’t help but watch the “bunker video “again.

i learned that once they are in the bunkers they will need to get the attendance numbers from the different groups that are in hiding during the “great tribulation.” chris and wife risked their lives going to the different groups and getting the numbers and putting them on slip of paper which he then handed to brother brown.

of course these numbers would have to be kept track of so they could make a full report back to the headquarters.

And when a couple of young Japanese JW sister`s get attacked with one murdered and the other hospitalized the JW Organization quicky distances themselves from them saying they are only volunteers and are in no way accountable to the Jehovah`s Witness organization .

Take notice lurkers ,you will be quickly thrown under the bus if the JW Org. thinks their may be even a hint of an insurance claim made against them

The rank and file are like fodder to them simply to be exploited .

stake tumbling through, sign from heaven?

by waton in

wt ransom symbol spotted.

oumuamua seen in news videos.

I just glanced at the word sign in the" Bible Words Indexed" at the end of the 1984 NWT of the Bible with 20 entries half of which seem to contradict the other half.

I`m sure their are plenty more in the Bible that do the same.

On the one hand its a wicked and adulteress generation that keeps looking for a sign and on the other hand the Bible provides signs so the believers can be assured of their faith.?

As for this asteroid are you sure its not a phallic symbol ? Or even a middle upright finger ?

You often hear about how Jehovah protects his people in the WT and at conventions and such .

But all is quite on the western front when some JW`s get murdered or even beheaded during some random violence or persecution .

So it seems like Jehovah is partial as to who he saves and who he lets get murdered

And why go hide in a Bunker ? just wait on Jehovah he will fix it in his due time .

And Jehovah protects some brother as he goes around collecting attendance figures ? Are they for real ?

Do they honestly really believe this nonsense ?

Did you enjoy your visit to Bethel?

by Addison0998 in

i recently had to take a trip with my family to bethel.

it was a bit torturous for a secret apostate as you can imagine.

but mostly just so boring.

sir82 thanks for the laugh .

How in the world could they seriously ever have said "take your kids to Bethel instead of taking them to Disneyland ?

If you need a laugh:what's up watchtower AGM with Susan Gaskin

by Diogenesister in

so funny, the guys from "what's up watchtower" join susan gaskin for a round-up of the crazy goings on in the jw/exjw world over the last year.

at 34.00 mins the discussion about the naked, tripped out "car group"who were busted attempting to save their neighbours from an imminent armageddon had me in stitches.

enjoy!.

While its treated as a light hearted funny episode what can be overlooked is the seriousness of the facts it also speaks about .

Point of facts : # 1 . I thought was particulary interesting was the role Steven Unthank has played in suing the "Faithful & Discreet Slave class" and ,the JW lawyers admitting no such class of people existed that it was only a Theocratic arrangement .

#2 . How Steven Unthank shed nu-lite on the WT Organizations lawyers {not Jehovah or Jesus } that apostates were mentally diseased persons.Highlighting a soon to be released NWT that changed the wording in that scripture .

#3 . Terence O-Brian lawyer for JW`s acknowledging under oath in a court of law that Steven Unthank was not an apostate .

Even though he has taken them to court suing the "faithful & Discreet Slave Class" , and taken the JW`s to court for refusing to get the required by law to get working with children checks and was successful their .

Their are other gems in their worth reflecting on also that could benefit people .

I think the heading of the opening post could have been worded better so more people would likely view it .

just my 2 cents worth

{ I almost didn`t bother to watch it , however I`m glad I did } simply because of the heading.

Getting Remarried after a spouses death & then they are resurrected after Armageddon ?

by LOLS in

hi guys .

i was wondering about the above , if a jw is allowed to remarry if a spouse has died, then what happens when they are resurrected at armageddon, do u land up with two wives/husbands ,,,,,,, makes no sense to me & can the jw's be so dumb not to think about this or have i got it wrong ?

and i will not be asking my uber jw husband , don't have the energy.. thanks.

Do Angels have sexual organs ? i don`t think so ,yet they materialized as males to have sex with female humans ?

Wern`t their any Gay/lesbian Angels in Heaven ? who wanted to have sex with their fellow humans ?

Why does the bible only depict Angels materializing { apparently to only males } and only wanting to mate with females ?

Was that a failing of Jehovah God that he/she did not give sexual organs to Angels ? That they were looking down on humans and thinking , shit look what we are missing out on .
