Lowering the standards: The sign of a cult struggling for survival

by Hidden-Window in

many of the recent changes in the jehovah's witness organization are a clear sign of a cult that is struggling for survival.

the internet has change the scenario in a very dramatic way.

many of us who for years struggled alone with doubts and cognitive dissonance thinking that we were the only ones, that we, as individuals were the issue, now know that there is a large community of individuals who see the organization as what it is, a mind controlling cult that is not only false, but also dangerous.. the governing body clearly understands the consequences of this awakening.

The problem is when the faithful hear something at the Kingdom Hall they believe it as if was from god. So anything can be said and the zombies will comply. This means the ones leaving are the ones on the fringe and the young. The cult will go down but ever so slowly.

The good news is they keep putting their foots in their mouths helping to wake up more people Also the numbers of old JWs that are going back seam to be falling way off. Once your out, faded or dfd it's easier to see the problems with the cult or get online to do research. People just aren't going back like they used to.

Weekly Scripture Twist - aka the Watchtower Study

by doubtfull1799 in

“more than material assistance, refugees need spiritual and emotional support.

(matt.

4:4) elders can help by obtaining literature in the language of the refugees and by helping them contact brothers who speak their language.

In recently donated 10% of the total cost so a kid could get a life changing machine that has enabled him to stop his overwhelming pain and start walking again. I guess I should of just sent him a watchtower, while in his horrific pain he could be day dreaming about living in paradise in the future after he died from his horrific condition. That is if he could even concentrate to read the magazine and then fantasize while in such pain.

Aust 2016 Census observations: JW's getting older, more kids leaving, and 30+ group aren't returning

by shepherdless in

1. median age.

experts will tell you that if you want to know if a population is in growth or decline, the best single number to look at is the median age of the population.

i have extracted aust census data and calculated the following approx median ages:.

Crazyguy

This truly is a cult in decline, 25% reduction in Kingdom Halls in the US and Canada even more it would seam in other countries. Their desperation is showing too. Constantly trying to get people to believe that god has and organization and their it and that the GB are gods chosen group, from what I hear that's all they pretty much talk about anymore.

Theyll be pushing the fear tactics more and more too. The good news is recruiting is pretty much dead so their relying on the children now but even if 50% of those stay the cult will be just a shadow of its former self and as they get smaller they become less significant to even those still in.

The big mistake of jw.org property management

by Gorbatchov in

today i read some news story's about the property deals of jw.org in brooklyn.

they made good money and good connections.. but i'm sure jw.org made a very, very big mistake in brooklyn.

they did.. they sold and are selling all the property for money.

Crazyguy

The lawsuit where the judge froze one of their properties had to be a major factor. Cash flow issues probably another factor as well.

I met a 104 year old man today

by Bad_Wolf in

i was at a mall trying on shoes and this old man is in a wheelchair near me.

says how he thought those shoes were sharp and he had never worn brown shoes before and that he is 104 years old.

i said no way and asked what year he was born.

Crazyguy

The reason why Lazarus again died a Christian or JW would say , is he was resurrected before Jesus died for mans sins.

Crazyguy

The generation that would not pass away was originally born in and around 1900 , because one had to be old enough to understand the event that took place in 1914. Any 117 year olds left out there?

Fallacies in the article on war at Awake! No. 5 2017

by Master_Bob in

why did ancient israel go to war?.

what some people say.

the israelites worshipped a bloodthirsty “tribal war god.”.

Crazyguy

This reminds me of a chapter in I think Jerimiah where he, Jerimiah, is telling the people to put away their worship of Ashurah and worship only Jehovah. Their response is no way when we do things for her and worship her good things happen when we worship Jehovah it's implied that nothing good comes from it.
