  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  definitely something going in the london bethel.. i thought i'd ask them again (and record it again) what the situation was regarding the new britain branch construction work.. i got the same sister (debbie) and here is how the conversation went: .

  me: i've been told that construction of the new branch has been stopped - is this true?.

  debbie: no, it has not ceased, it's carrying on as normal - can i ask where you're calling from?.

  there is a visitor brother in town and from what ive been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him.

  i took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes.

  i heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving jehovahs organization.

  It just goes to show if one is going to ask a question in a group of JW's he are she needs to know the answer before hand and have a strategy in place on how to lead the conversation until you can run them into your point. It's hard, they have had over 100 years of getting their excuses in order.

  Lightbulb Moment ------> Two Witness Rule

  by 4thgen in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the jw's always say that there must be "two witnesses before a matter is firmly established".

  if that is the case, then why is the account of moses and the 10 commandments or jesus in the wilderness talking to satan taken as fact?

  moses and jesus were both by themselves in the wilderness.

  Another real good one is in the book of Deut. If a man rapes a woman in a field and she screams but know one hears, he is to be stoned to death. Of course this is a contradiction from another chapter but where is the two witnesses in that proclamation?

  World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!

  the chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.

  the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.

  my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

  Someone posted here a month ago or so that they were about to be down graded. that along with them having to pay on a call or some other note because they lost money on Wallstreet is a possibility. These guys are acting like they have a gambling problem and are having to sell off property etc to keep from having their knees broken

  EXACTLY Why JW's Are NOT Christian

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a lot of people, ex-jws, believers and unbelievers alike, think that jw's are just a somewhat kooky brand of christianity.

  is it possible to "try and follow jesus" and not be christian?

  what exactly makes someone a christian?

  JW's do not follow many of the teachings of Jesus, do not see Christ as God or a God. These are two major reasons one could say they are not Christians. They are truly what their name says. They are witnesses about a Cannanite mountain God named El that later came to be known by other names including Jehovah

  The Borg going out of biz or a ruze, a time line.

  when one connects the dots it's very intriguing.

  Some other things to consider that some of you also have mentioned. On Mike and Kim s YouTube channel they mention how many have contacted them as to quiting the Borg since November 2014. They have nearly 200 on their coffin lid and they have a small subscription numbers. Who knows how many have left compared to the small numbers that have contacted Mike and Kim.

  Also the Pew poll of 2015 shows that the JW's income in the USA is near 30k per household per year, that's below the poverty line for this country. So it also looks like their bleeding members like crazy and no one has any money to donate.

  2008 global financial melt down

  Borg lays off some workers and starts selling properties, this may be do to major losses by them on Wallstreet.

  Move headquarters to a remote area ofcountry, cults tend to do this when in trouble.

  Gilead graduates no longer assigned to foreign lands.

  Missionarys no longer supported monetarily by the borg

  More branches being sold all over the world.

  Cash grab from all congregations

  Magazines downsized to save money.

  DOs laid off.

  Begging for money becomes more obvious.

  Loans are deleted in favor of pledges

  JW TV introduced apparently to help persuaded people to donate more.

  Royal commission investigates the Borg

  Major Borg beg for money telethon

  All construction except Warwick stopped

  More bethel layoffs and possible major reduction in special pioneers.

  Another reduction in magazines.

  Is this a ruZe or are they really going broke? This list is very telling.

  sorry for the length of this, i hope anyone stopping by to read will take the time and read it.

  i haven't included any things i would consider "apostate" specifics about doctrines, or major scandals.

  it's just a general layout of the path i took to becoming an exjw.

  It's interesting how stories can be very similar. I too was doing research with out going to any JW apostate sites. I to realized that their doctrines were way off, my wife like yours reported me to the elders and I was discusted at a memorial talk where a bethelite giving the talk was lieing about judas not being there and I wanted to just yell out, 'you liar'.

  Does Anyone Still Believe in God?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

  even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

  the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

  We can't prove it one way or the other and if there is a God it doesn't care about us so why should we care about it.
