  Fox Has a 3 Part Series on Hasidic Jews

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  yesterday they started a three part series on hasidic jews living mostly in brooklyn and new jersey and how they take advantage of the system and at the same time rule with an iron hand for bidding the use of modern technology, smart phones, tv etc .

  if you think the witnesses are bad, take a look at them.

  they ostracize you and kick your children out of their schools and treat you as nonexistent !

  Thanks. I'll see if I can get to watch it.

  I know that there are much worse cults out there. However, that doesn't cancel out what the WT does to their people. It is and feels as bad.

  I mention this not because you wrote something wrong, but because some people might use the now typical "what about..." thing as an excuse to minimize the bad negative influence that the WT has on people (to various degrees). Just because others are more obvious or more physically harmful, that doesn't mean that the being a JW is a breeze.

  by minimus in

  since we were jws at one time, has it influenced your view as to where your dead loved ones are now?

  i know many here do not believe in anything biblical but i’m curious as to whether you believe anyone is in heaven?

  This is a very interesting topic. I have mentioned before that when it comes to God/god/"god"/higher power/something out there, I don't have a belief, I have an attitude about it. I think that the same applies to where are my lost loved ones.

  I don't know, but I also don't care. I don't feel like it's worth repeating what those who are non-believer think about christian and other religious believes regarding lost loved ones (or anybody else who has passed away for that matter).

  I know that losing a loved one (I have lost a few) is painful, and I want to believe that their lives and the mark that they left in my life matter. And I guess I wish I knew that they are happy and ok if they are somewhere. That's the extend of how much I think about it. I celebrate their lives and the time that I had the opportunity of sharing with them.

  I'm also sensitive, mindful and respectful of others who have different believes (or non-believes). Coping with their loss is very entangled with those believes, and I'm no one to mess with how others cope with losing a loved one. That's not the time or place for me to make a point or "being right".

  i find this kind of amusing:.

  a jw social media account recently posted a meme about cognitive dissonance seen here.. .

  and then all the jws in the comment section predictably apply it to those in christendom..

  Is that a bad thing? It applies to everything that it applies to. BTW, that's not a meme.
