Wow more heavy artillery propaganda from the 11/14 WT!!!!!
by BU2B inevery paragraph and every article in this issue is nonstop heavy artillery fire propaganda.
i have never seen a wt so full of logical fallacies, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority, guilt tripping and bite techniques all in one issue!
paragraph 9 states clearly that even though the gb is imperfect, that does not matter, we must obey them anyways.

jw logo vs people who wear a cross. IDOL WORSHIP IS STILL IDOL WORSHIP
by goingthruthemotions inlast week out in service i saw an elder wearing a jw.org pin.
and thought.....hmmm isn't this idol worship?
what a double standard.....it's ok to promote the borg with a pin...but not ok to promote jesus by wearing a. cross?.

A Watchtower used for alerting from outside danger...but far more often, they are used to keep people..IN! The new JW logo is to keep the JW's thinking about the Paradise that is around the corner.

When I saw the picture I just asked myself how many of the kids in the picture will become apostate once they grow up and realize it was all a lie.

Another tactic of fear and making people believe they need the GB for guidance and protection. What a delusional group of people!

"We're calling on your neighbours to promote a website"
by Simon inwow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.
we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".
yeah, right ... sparlock?.

just what am I supposed to believe now??
by purrpurr inwhile i'm glad i found this site, it has also crumbled to bits everything i've believed in my whole life.
i feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life.
this has left a huge hole in my soul.

I also wish you true freedom and do not allow other men to enslave you. Also, not knowing all the answers is not a sin, is not bad, and is what keeps us in wonder and awe

Here is what Doug Mason advised me:
suavojr,
I have travelled the road you describe.
Remain true to yourself; respect the right of others to their beliefs, and ask for the same in return. Break free from the regimentation imposed by religious leaders; recognise that all wriitngs, including the Bible, are the imaginings and assumptions of men and women.
Theology, eschatology, soteriology are interesting but nothing more. It does not matter what you think of God - every believer has a different idea anyway - what matters is that if there is a God, what she/he/it thinks of you.
Do good to others, be satisfied that during your life you have made a contribution to someone.
Go outside and hear the birds, smell the flowers, marvel at nature, the clouds, the real things that matter.
As I said, I have travelled the journey you speak of. There is the desire to dip the toe in the water but to hang on to the land. I have gone from rabid believer to agnostic, probably verging as an atheist. I have survived the journey, just as you shall.
Know with complete confidence that the feared Armagedon and the Divine "Coming" will not take place.
I wish you freedom - freedom from religion, from the pressures of religionists, freedom from people who want you to feel guilty. Break out.
Doug
