In love with a JW girl

by rastapau in

need advise.

i was in a relation with a jw girl for almost three years(im am not jw) and we are so inlove with each other until someone saw us from her congregation and she was disfellowed and that where the oddness happened.

her family and friends are not talking to her anymore, she wants me to stop seeing and talking to her anymore not until i became a baptized jw.

If you don't want to be brain washed into this cult, run like hell as fast as you can. You will end up giving up everything, your family, your former life just because you are thinking with the little head.

Are the Jehovah's Witnesses really false prophets, perhaps being mentally manipulated by the Watchtower Corporation ? ?

by Finkelstein in

there is a lot of public scrutiny going on these days about the jw religion particularly on the inter - net.

one of the posed questions which gets debated and discussed quite often, are the jws false prophets instigated to preach a tainted commercialized gospel under the direction of the executive leaders of the watchtower corporation ?

these focused men who are responsible for creating the core doctrines of this organization.

I recall when I first became aware that the rank and file Dubs all paid for the kingdum halls with free labour but after the local congregations took all the risks, the tittles were turned over to the WT. Regardless of how they try and justify this it was all about the WT being a real estate conglomerate. They are no better than any of the other get rich evangelist churches.

Shunning of Inactive ones- JW Broadcast

by Theburstbubble in

i've heard the new take on shunning inactive ones.

i've seen the videos from the assemblies, but a few have mentioned that it was in a broadcast.

does anyone know which broadcast it was, or a link to that section...i really don't want to have to watch the whole thing!.

Could be our lives are so busy and we just don't have the time to spend together. I hope they are not starting to treat me any differently.

I have noticed in the last few years, especially since my mother passed away that certain family members ave not being overly friendly toward me. There have being little things like, wanting to come over to visit or help a family member move but have being politely told that they don't need any help. If this is the case that their minds have being poisoned against me, so be it. I now live a full life and have my own friends, without the WT BS thank you very much.

Jehovah's Witnesses Propaganda & Hypocrisy Video

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i didn't make this video it just showed up in my utube web page, god i love utube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyv5lg1uh0o.

Just typical WT hypocrisy. Do as I say not as I do. Like the tennis Williams sisters, this dude probably is a big contributor to the organization, thus they don't say anything to him. Makes me sick to think of the time I wasted as as teen, not allowed to explore my natural talents but listen to a bunch of old men. I recall how we were all told not to pursue higher education, like a doctor or lawyer but to put Kingdum interests first. Then when the WT needed legal representative, they put some young men through university to get their law degree. I seen the hypocrisy and said something about it in front of my mom and ex wife, which they didn't like what I had to say.

Anyway I have learned over the last 40 years to live my own life and not live someone else life. There is nothing more empty then at the end of your life and looking back that you should have done this, or should have done that and not live someone else dream.

JWs Demonstrating against the Demonstrators

by Listener in

the organization never ceases to amaze.you've got to see this video for yourself so i won't say much about it.

i wonder if this practice has been endorsed and sanctioned by the governing body and if we will see more of it in the future.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbuxbx1ktci.

William Penwell

At the very beginning they say Jesus is Jehovah, every JW will dismiss every sound out of their mouth after that. FAIL. This is at the Nutter Center in Dayton Ohio.

Regardless the protest signs are also a warning sign to good dubs. As soon as any talk against the organization most dubs well trained dub "spidey" senses goes off and their minds are then closed.

Even when I was a dub I could never see the benefit of these nuts protesting as it just shows them as being crazier then the cult they are protesting. One bunch of nuts protesting another bunch of nuts.

Bethel downsizing is still coming

by dropoffyourkeylee in

i spoke with a bethelite (non-us) last week who says that a 20-25% downsize is coming at their bethel in the fall of 2016. this is in addition to the cutbacks of 2015. more will be sent out 'to the field'..

Not pumping out the same amount of literature and books they once published has really put a dint in the over all scale of the world wide operations.

How long can this cult remain with only kids becoming members?

by Crazyguy in

it's become clear that very few from outside the religion are joining anymore.

if only the kids of the people that are already in are the one replacing the members as they die off and 50% let's say of the kids leave then how long can they realistically last before the downturn becomes obvious?.

William Penwell

I think that a lot of JWs go along with the broad focus of the organization (because they are not inclined toward or do not know other worldviews), but they don't go near the detail of what's expected. So, it's not exactly intentional or passive-aggressive but more allowing themselves to not be as "strict" as they are required to be. I used to notice this tendency at social functions even with fellow JWs where you'd swear you were at a "worldly" get-together because people were having a good time and no one was talking about "spiritual" things. There's quite a disconnect among JWs - they don't even realize they're doing it but it reflects a dwindling "zeal" for following the organization to the letter.

I haven't being to a JW social function in some time but things I have seen on here in some ways they have lightened up on practices that used to be labelled as "worldly" are now acceptable. For instance old Freddy Franz would be rolling in his grave to think they allow "worldly" music in a KH, like a video I watched on here some time ago.

I remember growing up my brother and myself were wanting to join the Boy Scouts as a "worldly" friend of ours was one. That was a big fat NO by my mother as per borg detective.
