Facts: I always say that if the Witnesses were actually READING the material, they wouldn't be Witnesses anymore.

I feel for you Shirley. It is something which I have never been comfortable with at the meetings when they study stuff which is for adults n not kids.
This is freaking disturbing and so uncomfortable to think this is out there for so many children to read/be read.
THE DEVIL'S HANDBOOK .
Cringing to think how many children grew up disturbed, sexually repressed....Sad.
Boy I need a lie down!
Excuse me while I go call my therapist.

when i asked my jw relatives about why they are the chosen one, she said one of the reasons can be found in mark 7:6-9. jw’s stand firm in rejecting all man made traditions including christmas, halloweenc and birthdays whereas no other religion does so.
.
what are your opinions about this?
Insight 1 states Mere formalistic observance of the outward forms of worship does not constitute a true honoring of the Almighty. There also needs to be a real love for Jehovah’s ways and a heartfelt desire to do his will. (page 1136)
Just evidence of my ramblings in the comment above .when i asked my jw relatives about why they are the chosen one, she said one of the reasons can be found in mark 7:6-9. jw’s stand firm in rejecting all man made traditions including christmas, halloweenc and birthdays whereas no other religion does so.

Mark7:6-9 This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. 7 It is in vain that they keep worshipping me, for they teach commands of men as doctrines.’ 8 You let go of the commandment of God and cling to the tradition of men.” 9 Further, he said to them: “You skillfully disregard the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.
I do not see any thing special here to claim they are chosen. Ok they do not celebrate christmas....th elot.But what about disregarding the commandment of god ( john 13:35 true love; Gal 5:22,23 fruits of the spirit; Matthew 23:10 nto to be called leaders; ) The list can go on n on.
On the point of good leadership their own publication Watchtower 02 march 15th page 5 states "A good leader gives clear direction and helps people under his care to gain personal strength and resources so that they can solve problems successfully".
How can they claim to be the chosen one when they have been flip-flopping since they began??? Are they delivering what they wrote in the above watchtower reference?
"But I say to you that everyone that keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:27, 28 . Have they been openly confessing their child abuse cover-ups ;and where the donations for god's worldwide is going (to pay for lawsuits)??
Just a tip of the iceberg mate.If you get satisfying answers with bible verses hats off to that!
My two cents

There must be some sexually repressed twats in the writing department that get a kick out of seeing this sort of thing in print

on pages 27 & 28 of the august 2019 study watchtower, it perverts the translation of scriptures yet again, in order to drum it into jw's minds that they have to work for their salvation.
“on the evening before his death, jesus told his disciples: “exercise faith in god; exercise faith also in me.” (john 14:1).
according to strong's lexicon, the greek word pisteuō is translated thus - “to think to be true, to be persuaded of, to credit, place confidence in, of the thing believed, to credit, have confidence.”.
I am so exercising faith that I am running away as fast as I can.Does this count as exercise? You betcha!

Unlimited Tab Tony to Smiddy3: this was a special transmission after the holy Macallan spirit flowed through us! We do not need to support such things with verses !

my mother became a witness when i was five and i believed that every witness followed what was said at the meetings and the instructions given.
my naive belief carried on until maybe i was 10?
at the old conventions, volunteers would come early and pack fruit into net bags so that it could be sold at lunch.
"shunned by married sisters thinking she would be after their husbands,"
What does that tell you about the insecure relationships that the JDUBS have , So much for the three fold cord n blah,blah, blah..
I remember a divorced for decades sister moved into our cong n immediately older/experienced/mature (i use these terms in Jdub lingo context) sisters started to gossip that she was there to look for a relationship .This sister was 62 .She wanting to move for a change of scenery but not in this cult. Every step you take has to be analysed, judged n labelled !

witnesses brag about their brotherhood and incredible love that exists within the organization.
they say they are really the only true religion.
is the jw religion the closest thing to jesus christ himself?.
