Why I'm rejoining the JWs

by Fred Franztone in

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.

Fred, thanks for the laugh. I hope people get the joke, as you can see, some don't.

WTBTS – assistance following an incident at bethel

by Tallon in

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.

More Catholic lies!!!

by TTWSYF in

the catholic church gets a lot of credit in this book by a protestant.

title-how the catholic church built western civilization.

below is a description from the back page of the book.

The Catholic church had way more influence than today. Not sure about it "building" western civilization, but I'd say that they did have a saying in pretty much everything.

My JW Update

by jdash in

hey guys!

for me, things are doing better, you could say.

ever since i been on here, posting, and whatnot, i have been even more enlightened, if that's the correct word.

scratchme1010

My belief in a lot of doctrines taught by the organization has withered. I have no belief in "Satan." No belief in the "Resurrection." Just to name a couple. I kind of have took on that personality of, "I'm here for a good time, not a long time."
293 days till I leave, basically almost 10 months.
Thanks for reading my drawn out 17 year old feelings, lmao.

Glad to hear that you are doing well. Thank you for sharing.

Who deserves the title of king of apostasy ?

by Chook in

i think this would be a noble endeavour..

I think this would be a noble endeavour.

What exactly makes a person more apostate than another?

"Jehovah" and the less emphasized "Jesus." WHY?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

there 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.

scratchme1010

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 in

jw
friends

i 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.

scratchme1010

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 in

oh 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.
