JW Dogma Analysis For Lurkers & Faders to Consider
by The Fall Guy inthis post is necessarily lengthy, but my hope is that these 14 examples of wtbts dogma will be examined closely by those who either have something to gain by doing so, or those who can provide "new light" for any of the topics.. "however, you may say in your heart: “how will we know that jehovah has not spoken the word?” when the prophet speaks in the name of jehovah and the word is not....true, then jehovah did not speak that word.
you should not fear him.
" [the prophet] (deuteronomy 18:21-22) .

R.C. happens once a year right ? 1488 in attendance , suppose for arguments sake only 1000 were baptized J.W`s who put in 10 hours a month for twelve months =120,000 hours ,7 baptized minus the 3 children of witness parents ,that leaves 4 potential converts for the year.
Not very productive witnessing in my book.
The C.E.O. needs to be sacked .
just my 2 cents worth.

Did You Ever Think You Would Be A Member On A Site Like This?
by minimus inwhen i first started looking at “apostate” sites , i was always watching over my shoulder, hoping no one would catch me viewing “spiritual pornography”.
i found these types of sites mesmerizing but i never thought i’d join one.... look at me now.😈.

I was paranoid , one of the first site i remember looking up was Shaun`s , and Dogpatch`s Free Minds..
Some of the things I was seeing I just could not believe in ,maybe apostate lies were true .
However a lot of other things I could relate too . So I kept looking and searching.
And I`ve been on here about 13 years now and I luv you all.

Jehovah’s Witnesses Really Have No Power Over You Unless YOU Let It Happen!
by minimus inshould i go to a judicial committee and perhaps get disfellowshipped?
should i talk to the elders just because they say they want to talk to me?
should i simply disassociate myself and have nothing to do with the organization?.

Let me ask you this mm ,if you were a baptized person and never attended meetings for 10-20 years ,how would the G.B.of Jw`s / Elders view you ? I believe they would automatically assume you have been practising wrongs that are condemned in the Bible and haul you before a JC committee if ever you walked back into a K.H.
So my position was better for me to do it to them than they do it to me .
In your scenario you cant win whatever you do ?
but at least I felt good about it .
Just my 2 cents worth.

Are Jehovahs Witnesses false prophets
by joe134cd ini thought this was a very interesting argument by robert king.
i liked the point he made about if israel had a prophet who spoke in the name of jehovah and it did not occur did this mean that the nation of israel was a false prophet or more so if the nation of israel sincerely believed it.
the answer to that is a resounding no because the nation of israel was god’s appointed nation.

JW’s do NOT shun... (apprently)
by pale.emperor inmy quora campaign of answering all jw related questions truthfully with evidence is going well.
however, one jw had the audacity to claim that "jws do not shun".
they seem to want to present a fake, squeeky clean image to non-members and seem to get angry when answering questions regarding shunning.. like this asshole, dennis cybulski.

According to AM3, the Witnesses don't break-up families or anything like ''that''
Then he`s not a Christian because that`s what Jesus said he came to do .
" Do not think I came to put peace upon the earth,I came to put not peace but a sword ,for I came to cause division with a man against his father and a daughter against her mother and a young wife against her mother in-law. Indeed a mans enemies will be persons of his own household.
Matt.10:34-36 So apparently Jesus was happy enough to break up familys
If its in the Bible it must be true .

Maybe you need to get yourself a new pair of glasses friend as I had no problem reading it and I`m 79 yrs old .
And yes they are certainly concerned about the leaks about the Borg from apostate sites .
