  JW Lawyer in Norway uses "theocratic warfare" to conceal the org's controlling language!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the org's vocabulary, the term "independent thinking" is applied pejoratively to any jw who thinks & reasons for themselves.

  the org's lawyer knew exactly what he was doing in court when he voiced his carefully prepared words:.

  "watchtowers lawyer anders ryssdal compares jehovah’s witnesses’ baptism to the norwegian state church’s confirmation of 15-year-olds, arguing that their baptism is no different.

  They conveniently leave out parents who tell their kids that, if they are not baptized by age 18, they are kicked out. I had so much pressure put on me to get baptized because Armageddon was coming in 1975, and I “knew” the truth, so if I was not baptized, I would likely be killed at Armageddon. I absolutely DID NOT want to get baptized.

  a secretive christian church that is extremely similar in beliefs to jw religion, and has a surprising global reach is at the center of an fbi investigation for csa.

  the religious group goes by multiple names, such as "the truth" and "two-by-twos.

  "as child sex abuse allegations aimed at the church continue to come to light, we are learning more about the organization.

  The org's failed last days predictions were "well meant."

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  w93 6/1 p. 15 par.

  6 be sound in mind - the end is close - "of course, well-meaning, faithful christians in the past have sincerely tried to predict when the end would come.".

  more than 140 years of a sincere & well-meaning "it's coming soon" from the org, can be swept under the carpet - nothing to see here!.

  Miscarriage myths amongst JW

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i am having these discussions about children etc and there are witness ties and family history in these discussions.

  i got the feeling having this discussion that they seemed to imply somehow it was ‘the parent’s fault’ for having a miscarriage.

  whether it was domestic violence, or the mother did something wrong themselves.

  As a kid, I remember when someone would suffer a miscarriage, my parents would remark, but not their faces, that that baby would not get a resurrection, because it never breathed the “breath of life”. They would, of course, express sympathy to the ones who this happened to.

  the jws haven't been to my door for a while, but i don't doubt that they'll turn up eventually*.

  (i saw easter eggs in the supermarket yesterday, so "memorial" season is fast approaching 🙄).

  what's a good question to ask, to get the ball rolling?.

  Stan, if you told them that, that’s why you don’t see them any more. You scared them off, you scary apostate!

  New Footage of the Kingdom Hall that Recetly Was Converted to a Mosque

  with islam being one of the fastest-growing religions in the uk, there’s more need for mosques.

  so when an old church goes up for sale, it’s not exactly surprising that someone might want to turn it into a mosque.

  Blues brother, Wing commander and I agree, but we are in the 🇺🇸, so far we have freedom to speak our minds. I’m not crazy about the Muslims in my country, mostly because I don’t know what is in their hearts. For instance, if I see a small group of them in a public place, I always wonder if they are there to shop, eat, or otherwise have fun, or do they have bombs strapped on, waiting to blow us all up. Not racist, just a realist. I’m sure most are peaceful, but it only took less than 13? people to bring down the World Trade Center.
