  Please explain!

  by Freedom rocks in

  hi please can someone explain this in laymans terms for me coz i be ever got it as a jw and still don't.

  it doesn't make sense to me.

  bible chronology indicates that god’s kingdom was established in heaven in 1914. this is shown by a prophecy recorded in chapter 4 of the bible book of daniel.. overview of the prophecy.

  A Book About Cults.

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower

  i've been told that this book is a good read.

  has anyone on here read it and can say what's in it or what's it about?

  it is quite expensive to buy.

  Like with everything else, judge it for yourself. Take what you like and leave the rest. I read the book, and know people who not only know the author, but got sued by him for reasons regarding some of the things he claims and teaches. He lost the law suit. It's not a bad read.

  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.

  But somehow it's all worth it. Some how.
  

  I hope so. Actually, I'm not sure you are completely alone. I know there are other people in the exact same position, maybe not in your congregation, but others. You are certainly not alone, even if it feels lonely.

  Priming the Pump

  by days of future passed in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the definition of priming the pump, is put to water manually into the casing of the pump so that it will create a seal and draw the water up.

  it's a term used for economics but i like to use it when i am trying to hopefully help a jw, escape.

  i view it as a long term endeavor.. whenever there are videos for upcoming conventions, i'll try to work the main theme into a conversation with them.

  Has anyone else tried this?
  

  No, but my question is, what exactly do you want to accomplish with that? What's in it for you? Why do you have a need to convince others?

  They are all dead!

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower company and the jdubs talk so nonchalantly about the year 1914, the year they say jesus became king in the heavenly kingdom.

  they talk about the year like it was just a short time ago.

  the invisible king began ruling in the invisible kingdom.

  You will not hear the Watchtower drones say that every man, women, and child who were alive when Jesus became king are now dead. They are all dead.
  

  ...including the ones who said it.

  Reminds me of a bunch of people who in the 90s became "AIDS Denialists" and refused to treat their HIV infection claiming that HIV doesn't exist. They all died of AIDS.

  Marriage Proposal in the Kingdom Hall

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just when you think you've seen it all comes another interesting use of a kingdom hall.a young man serenades his girlfriend with a song (possibly a watchtower song) from the stage through a microphone and backed by recorded music.

  then he steps off the stage and gets down on one knee and proposes as he pulls out a ring from his coat pocket.

  the large projector screen flashes up behind them with a picture of a sapphire and diamond ring.cameras capture the joyous moment as she accepts and they lock together in a loving hug.

  Why I'm rejoining the JWs

  2. friends

  dear brothers and sisters.

  after many years outside of the truth, living as an atheist, i have come to realise that i have been on the wrong path.

  the fool has said in his heart that there is no god, and i have been a fool.

  WTBTS – assistance following an incident at bethel

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i haven’t posted for quite a while as i needed a break – although i have been lurking.. can anyone confirm if the wtbts give assistance to someone who has been involved in an incident whilst working at bethel and, as a result, must leave?.

  the reason i’m asking is that, back in the 80’s, i knew a sister who was in bethel service.

  she was assigned to the cleaning department.

  Is this the WTBTS policy? If someone is required to leave bethel service due to injury following an incident at work that they are on their own with regard to medical care and expenses incurred?
  

  The biggest lie that the WT perpetuates among their crop is that they are not part of the world. If people get injured in the job, regardless of it being volunteer work or for-pay, they are not above the law just because they say so. Sue their asses.
