That feeling of "I'm in the know", "I got it figured out", is very appealing to a person with low self-esteem and a lack of success in life, love, and/or money.

Why Rational People Buy Into Conspiracy Theories?
by adjusted knowledge inmy wife is taking a literature course at a local college.
this was her final topic of the semester: why rational people buy into conspiracy theories?i automatically thought of this site and of jws.
the jws i knew, were the kind of people that would believe in conspiracy theories, and i noticed a small following on this site.. the article that was referenced for this course was: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/26/magazine/why-rational-people-buy-into-conspiracy-theories.html?_r=0.

Why do people follow demonstrably False Prophets?
by WireRider inwhy does everyone just turn a blind eye to the false teachings of the watchtower?
the bible warns us many times and in many ways not to follow false prophets - including the lake of fire.
fundamentally why do the followers of the watchtower just ignore the very bible they claim to live by?.

I'm not sure which pathetically false prophet is worthy of more derision.
Is it the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses or is it Jesus?

Review of the November 15 study article - "Stand Firm in the Faith"
by Divergent inthis study article poses questions that we should ask ourselves.
don't have time to analyze the whole thing, so will start from paragraph 8:.
8 do gods promises seem less real to me now than they once did?

Has miserably unfulfilled prophetic interpretations by the faithful and discreet slave destroyed your faith?
Where's my issue/question at?

Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions
by thedepressedsoul inhere is an idea i tested.
works at both assemblies and conventions.
i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

Hilarious, I've been putting off posting about this idea for a while now. I almost did this at my last assembly two weeks ago. -

Witnesses - Ever Wondered Why You're So Tired After Assemblies/Meetings?
by The Searcher inrecently shared this with me.. they compared the tiredness they felt after attending an assembly and meetings, and noted how much worse it was than actually working and studying hard for hours for their secular employment!
why were they so exhausted after an assembly/meeting?
no, it wasn't satan.

Sitting for 7 hours in an 8.5 hour span is tough. Plus there is not full leg room typically.
Sitting at your office job or watching TV is different. Riding in a car or a plane for the same time would also have a similar effect.
Add to this the mental part you speak of, which I agree with, and that is a recipe to feel completely drained.
One more thing, I'm going to an assembly today. LOL

So sick of the abuse...
by iwasblind ini am still serving as an elder but just hanging in there.
i think their quandry is that they don't see me out in the field, but when they need encouragement and decent prayer they come to me.. i just got off the phone to this poor sister who i have only met twice.
she is not even in my congregation (her sister is).

I served as an elder for 14 years. I never told a distressed publisher to "pray more" or "read the Bible more". I didn't need to become a liberal Christian to tell them what you told them. I gave them the exact same message you did, as a true believing JW elder.

When I Was School Overseer . . .
by compound complex inwe were instructed not to give public counsel to the students, but to use the two minutes alloted afterwards to supplement, from the aid book, the subject matter presented by the students.
the following information on jehovah's answering of prayer came to mind when replying to another thread moments ago.. doubtless, our viewpoint on this and other scriptural matters has taken on a new direction -- if any at all.
having worked on this bible dictionary while at bethel, i retain a fondness for it.

That's why I wait for my child to scream for an extended period before I go into their room and help them. Just like my god, I want to make sure their need for help is genuine.
Oh, wait, my god already can read my heart and knows my concern, desire, and motive. My bad. I guess the reason he delays taking action is because he's just a prick.

Are Circuit Overseers next?
by Londo111 inlast year saw the elimination of the district overseer...and circuit overseers now must retire at 70. how long until the circuit overseer is no more?
of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid.
they would have to care for their own expenses.
