To Blue Dot or Not to Blue Dot. That is the question ....
by Oubliette inso i've been noticing recently that some khs in the area where i live (socal) are putting up the jw.org little blue dot, but others are not.
i would think this would be a mandatory directive from hq.
does anyone here have any intel on the matter?.

What if JWs Viewed Disfellowshipping and Excommunication as Radical Islamists Do?
by Oubliette ini found this statement from a recent article about isis to be quite interesting in view of the way that any jw can be accused of apostasy with little or no possible repercussions or consequences for the accuser: .
in islam, the practice of takfir, or excommunication, is theologically perilous.
if a man says to his brother, you are an infidel, the prophet said, then one of them is right.

Vidiot, I'm glad you and your dad were able to move beyond the insanity of this cult!
It's really unbelievable what it does to people.

Splash nailed it!
Thanks for sharing the articles showing their 180 on this issue.
If you used their logos before you were an "idolater," now if you don't, you're being disobedient and not keeping up with "new light."
Let's review: It's a cult!

Steve2: Regarding Bergman (aka Havor Montague): There has been periodic questioning of his professional credentials
That's not really relevant to the point of this thread. From the WT point of view, Bergman IS an apostate and yet they quoted him in support of their views.

It's ok for Stephen Lett and Anthony Morris to be judgmental, but it's not ok for you! -

Fun at The WT This Morning
by OneFingerSalute inso ofs was at the wt this morning, and on par.
14 the question was, "what trust can a faithful christian whose relative is disfellowshipped have?".
after awhile when no one else raised their hands ofs did, and was called on.. ofs commented, "one of jw can have the trust that god will lovingly give them the ability to uphold the disfellowshipping arrangement by totally shunning family members.".

The elder is an idiot that doesn't even know what the WT leadership teaches. Good for you for setting HIM straight when he was lamely trying to set YOU straight!

what an interesting find for me
by sowhatnow inim sure to use this the next time i accidentally get sucked into an argument with someone.
im not ever understanding the idea behind any christian religion picking and choosing what they want to believe and follow, then have the nerve to claim they are right, when clearly this is obviously done.
here is a site that shows not only how bloodthirsty and evil the god of the hebrew bible was, but how more ridiculous it is for jws to follow one twisted 'commandment' about eating blood, not only reading it wrong, but then not to do all the other commandments, willingly , do they think they are ancient israelites ?

Cofty: The ethics of the OT are no better than ISIS.
I'd put it this way: the ethics of ISIS is based on the Old Testament and the alleged dictates of the God of the Bible.

Videos at the a$$emb£ies?
by punkofnice inmy spies tell me that they are getting shown videos very regularly at the 2 day convention(tm).. i figured it may be because the wbt$ wants mass indoctrination using their tried and tested propaganda techniques.. the average elder won't be aware that the wbt$ uses these thought reform techniques so will be incapable of using them himself.
also, the elder might not put the money grabbing, 1984 ministry of truth spin on things and actually say something good instead.
we know the wbt$ don't like 'good'!

JWD: They were not any truer in 1984.
I believe Punk was making a reference to George Orwell's seminal novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four and the Newspeak concept of using propaganda to control the masses.

How are the JW's reacting to the new USA gay marriage laws?
by purrpurr inpersonally i think this is wonderful.
i have nothing against gay people and wish them only the best.. but of course i'm in a minority of one, the jw's around me are posting away on fb the most homophobic vitriol imaginable.
a lot of them are even saying that it's the start to armageddon!!.

millie: That is part of what caused such a split among our family. I would simply not turn my back on this one relative and my other siblings were more than willing to do so.
Thanks for being an example of doing the right thing!
