I have known of some not personally but friends of friends that have posted on here. I think because of the cult mentality of the organzation that a lot of too much to lose if they went public with their thoughts.

If you don't believe in God, Jesus, and everything in the Bible, you are willfully ignorant.

I do not think outlawing any cult is the answer but they should have their tax exempt status taken away.

Outside of the bible there is no evidence that a man by the name of Jesus even existed. What you are talking about here is blind faith in something you cannot prove.

New Bethel Facility - Fort Lauderdale Remote Translation Office (RTO)
by daniel-p inhey all, it's been a long time since i've posted anything here.
this may be of interest to some people, or not.

inactive ones going back...
by monis1 ini have quite a big group of friends who were all in the cong together when we were teens.
about 75% of them stopped going or were df'd right after high school.
it is a varied group; a couple are staunch apostates, some dont care one way or another, and another handfull are fully "worldly", but still believe it is the truth.

I am sure like any event or natural disaster, there are those fence sitters that would jump back in. I recall going to a convention or special meeting after 9/11 and some elder that I have known most of my life said to me, "Funny how a couple of planes hitting some buildings makes people come back". I think that was my last time I attended a JW function. So if is motive was to turn me off of the cult he accomplished his objective.

Is this the start of a change of policy regarding individual JWs preparing internet pages.
by joe134cd inthis is a quote of a quote taken from anthoney mathenia:.
" for organizations like the watchtower, absolute control of their message is paramount.
it will not even allow its own adherents to spread their good news online.

You know nothing in that cult is done without the organzations approval. It is only a matter of time it is either taken down or comply to what the mother organzations says.

Is the Watchtower Intentionally Trying to Force People to Leave the Organization?
by kneehighmiah inthe leaks from the new november watchtower are alarming.
they will disturb even longtime jws who haven't surrendered all rational thought.
it's become so cult like its scary.

Aha....So the only way to learn about a religious organization is from that organization itself? So we can safely disregard everything the WTS says about Catholics, Mormons, Jews, etc.? Sweet.
Sir82, this point never came to my mind but the JW's are the first to attack organzations like the Catholics. Again a typical JW cult mind that they are right and everyone else is wrong.

Watchtower November 2014: Witnesses can't donate blood
by opusdei1972 inlet us read a recent watchtower publication:.
many medical professionals and other advocates of blood transfusion appeal to people to donate blood in hopes of saving lives.
however, jehovahs holy people acknowledge that the creator has the right to say how blood is to be treated.

I was told the great tribulation was going to start before 1975? My dad sold his house in 1974 to down size and get ready for the end of the system. A good elder brother bought it off of him and flipped it for a profit. I guess some didn't buy the BS but just used others for their own financial benefit. Is it a wonder why some of us have no use for this cult.
