  JW Personality used as an excuse....

  by Anon_SA1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had a discussion with a current jw member of +- 30 years, we got chatting about how you can be sure your faith is right and what checks can be done.

  i then suggested looking at ex members view points and literature.

  her response was her "i am not someone who takes initiative to look online at stuff, i doesn't feel my personality needs me look at outside view points" in summary she was saying her personality type is not interested in looking at other views.

  There is no such thing as the "JW personality."

  It's a myth.

  DD: Could you elaborate on the "human apostate" thing??

  That's in contrast to inhuman apostates such as Satan and the demons.

  There were some threads on this at the time:

  Getting JWs To Think By Using Their Own Tactics On Them.

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower

  i've been thinking that an effective way to expose the idiocy and vacuousness of jwism is to use it right back on them when they come to your door.

  say you're a fader and you've moved to the territory of a different circuit where the jws there don't know your jw background.

  when they come knocking at your door, just put on the jw mindset and pretend to yourself that the jws at the door are not jws but members of a "false religion.".

  What is BELIEF ?

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  stemming from the 'absentheism' thread, an old question came to my mind.

  what exactly is "belief"?.

  is it the same to ask: "do you believe in god?

  Not just one. I've seen other sides of you before. It's the wild side that's new to me.

  You are clearly a woman with many layers and dimensions.

  Today's (4/12) WT study - all about Jesus

  by OneEyedJoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's watchtower study article is all about jesus.

  this stuck out to me after a year of hanging out on here where one frequent point of criticism is that jws claim to be christians but never talk about jesus.. anyone think it's a coincidence that today was the "special talk" follow-up to the memorial?

  i think not - this is the most attended sunday meeting of the year, complete with many ubms, studies, and miscellaneous other potential victims who have been subjected to a coordinated effort to pressure them into attending.

  a watcher: You hypocrites! (Matt 15:7)

  Um, don't you know that you're not supposed to be here?

  Maybe you wanna look up that word "hypocrite" and see what it means!

  This Year's Memorial

  by TD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  perhaps i'm just getting older and crankier, but it really seems to me that the jw faith is deteriorating at an accelerated rate.. case in point: this year's memorial talk.

  it was one of the most incoherent messes i've ever heard.

  (and i've heard a lot of memorial talks over the last 50 years....).
