  Upcoming Tidal Wave of Media Onslaught targeting Jehovah's Witnesses ahead...

  by TerryWalstrom in

  at least three media venues have undertaken the daunting task of unpacking the insidious dark side of jehovah's witnesses' organization.1.

  douglas quenqua is a writer based in new york.

  his work has appeared in the new york times, wired, redbook, and cnbc.

  Might even go so far as to have a special announcement made from the platform during the midweek meeting, as was done in 2002 or whenever it was that the "Dateline" special on child abuse aired.

  I kinda remember that. I was attending the occasional meeting still, even after starting to have serious doubts, and that announcement was another 'aha!' moment. An investigative report on issues in the religion, but instead of facing them head on, the leadership warned everyone to not listen to the 'outsiders'.

  My JW Elder Brother Passed Away

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he was basically a good man, just a believer in the religion.

  when we were both elders we were best of friends and then things deteriorated when i was not an elder for a while.

  then after becoming an elder again, i slowly drifted away from the religion and he drifted further away from me.

  My sincerest condolences. We've never met, only interacted on here - but reading the news made me sad, as if we were old friends.

  What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.

  he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.

  interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

  Most ridiculous?

  That we don't have to die. Yes, we could live forever.

  Let that sink in... Live forever. Never die.

  And to think we actually believed that shit

  April 2018 Broadcast - normal weird stuff

  by Listener in

  we hear a story regarding the life of thomas and emma.

  she states that "when thomas and i first learnt that i was pregnant, we were both really shocked" she doesn't explain why they were both really shocked but it seems an odd reaction unless they were using the safest contraception invented or hadn't been told about the bird and the bees.two experiences that touched the heart of gb sanderson were as follows -.

  in russia a jw was jailed for 6 months, the jailers did everything to try to undermine his faith, which included violence.

  The right to record your judicial committee meeting

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  2. beliefs

  ok.. we have often heard secret recordings online of jc hearings.

  but, what i would like to know is if individuals are entitled to the right of officially recording their judicial hearings?.

  supposing i was to attend a judicial committee and i explained up front that i would like to record the proceedings and then place a dictaphone on the table.

  page 16, par.

  18 carefully follow the latest directions.. do we faithfully follow the latest directions that jehovah has given us?

  if so, we will not rely on always doing things the way we have done them in the past.

  Sister Slit-Skirt looks pretty hot.
  I think there's some wife-envy goin' on in the WT illustration-station.

  Please don't make me go to the JW website to see these photos. (hint hint, someone cut & paste the article and photos.. not just Sister Slit-Skirt. Curious to see the air guitarist as well)

  The speaker at the Memorial I attended relied more on emotional blackmail to make his point. Jehovah, and Jesus, went to all this trouble for you, you miserable little piss ants, in order that you might be saved. How do you repay that? You can't really, but you can show God that you appreciate his sacrifice (But it was Jesus who suffered BTW), by attending all the meetings, sharing in the service, supporting the worldwide work (read: give us money).

  Looking for older article in Wtbts regarding “tigers teeth and claws” being designed for coconut husk removal.

  by notjustyet in

  2. beliefs

  i hope i’m not imagining this but jace not been able to find the source.

  even looked deeply into jwfacts site and still can’t find it.

  basically the way i remember it was there was a article trying to explain away the “teeth and claws” from a tiger that alluded to it being a meat eater from the beginning.

  Funny this came up... The Memorial speaker went into detail about how the lion and bear will learn to eat straw, animals will all be at peace in the New System. All those years growing up, hearing that baloney, and never analyzing it beyond, 'cool, I want a pet tiger'. Now, listening to a grown man talk about lions and sheep being friends, I was slightly amused that anything else he said could be taken seriously.
