What exactly makes a person more apostate than another?

"Jehovah" and the less emphasized "Jesus." WHY?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthere has always been less emphasis on jesus, and more on the name jehovah.
if jesus played for the wtbts baseball team, he would play right field.
he would be good enough to start but by playing right field, he wouldn't see too many baseballs hit his way.

What do you think is the real reason WTBTS ( the organization) uses/over uses the name Jehovah?
Lame attempt at standing out and being different. A great deal of what that organization offers is "information" and "knowledge" that no other people in the world are supposed to have. A lot of what catches people attention is that they teach different things from the same Bible. It's part of their branding and marketing.

Do jw's have any concept of numbers re: population?
by carla ini was just thinking about how jw's like to brag about having 8 million members world wide and thought i might look up just what those numbers really mean in the big scheme of things.
back in the day when me & my jw were still discussing anything jw he thought that 8 million people couldn't be wrong.
i tried to tell him what a minuscule amount that really is to no avail.

I now feel stupider even thinking and posting this. Is it 5:00 somewhere?
First, LOL! about the part that I quoted. It's 5pm here, so by all means...
Not only what you state makes perfect sense, but if you look at statistics of memberships of other religious organizations, the WT looks even more pathetic.

Feb 2018 jwbroadcasting train wreck!
by stuckinarut2 inoh wow!.
the feb2018 broadcast is an absolute masterclass in cult manipulation, and a prime example of the high control nature of the society!.
if you haven't watched it, be prepared for some really disturbing stuff, especially as they address children, and guilt them into jw activity.

Thanks for sharing. I don't need to watch it as I don't need any convincing, but it does help others who still may need more of that point.

Satan is "bullying" you through family
by neat blue dog injust thought i'd share this ridiculous picture from a recent watchtower.
in recent years, the word bullying has been thrown around a lot, and often misused by instigators and subtle bullies themselves.
in this picture we learn that your loving family who wants to continue sharing a family tradition with you, who hands you a beautifully wrapped present with a smile on their face, is in fact bullying you.

The fact that they appear to be a very well adjusted family and they probably even believe in Jesus like the young JW claims to is irrelevant. His family is in actuality Satan's angry fist.
Not the first time they do and say that. That's why I don't care about them. That's why so many ex-JWs have so many problems with socializing.

I thought all "false religion" had to be destroyed first?
by stuckinarut2 init struck me that the organisation has taught that before jehovah's people would be "attacked" by the governments, all of "babylon the great" would have to be destroyed first?.
yet, what do we see worldwide?
governments of all sorts have either already, or are in the process of massive investigations and enquiries into the organisation!.

So, did they get the timing of the "prophecy" wrong, or what?
They are just full of shit.

entertainers and sports heros should stick to doing what people pay them for.

Politics has not changed my choice of entertainment at all. Christianity has. I found it very distasteful watching a movie and they squeeze in the plot that "God talked to me", and it has some kind of biblical twist. Big turn-off.

EMDR Therapy Anyone?
by Brian J intwo+ months into marital counseling for my wife (pimi) and i (pimo).
wife after decades of marriage decides for the first time to bring up separation due to, drum-roll please...... absolute endangerment of spiritual life.
a spouse may constantly try to make it impossible for the mate to pursue true worship or may even try to force that mate to break god’s commands in some way.

Has anyone personally experienced this type of therapy?
Not me personally. I have a friend who has. Make sure that the person administering is a reputable mental health professional. Also, it's wise to get e second opinion.

E-mail chains that became doctrine
by paradiseseeker indigimon, pokemon, hello kitty, "waka waka" by shakira... are things that all of a sudden became frowned upon because of a random menopausal jw housewife that read an e-mail chain that said that those things were satanic.
furthermore, we were explicitly warned about pokemon and waka waka from the platform of a district convention.
have you experienced more examples of such mastery of critical thinking?

Way back when there were people in the congregation who were obsessed with that shit. One woman in my congregation started scrutinizing my father's blazer buttons because they had some kind of symbol that may be satanic. That's the stupidest thing ever.
