  They have really created a hornets nest with women. Like Michael Jackson, they never should have allowed her to get baptised.

  the jws haven't been to my door for a while, but i don't doubt that they'll turn up eventually*.

  (i saw easter eggs in the supermarket yesterday, so "memorial" season is fast approaching 🙄).

  what's a good question to ask, to get the ball rolling?.

  American Primeval and the Mormons

  just finished season 1 on netflix.. holy crap, i had no idea of the history of the mormons!.

  i always thought they were like the jws, or the quakers, but they were full on fascists committing massacres.. i'm sure they are hating having more people be aware of their past, but i gotta say, it is more event-filled than the jw history..

  If it wasn't for Knorr taking the religion to the world. Wtbts probably would have ended up like the bible students. A fundamentalist religion confined to the north eastern borders of the United States.

  It wasn't until I left the JWs and stumbled upon the LDS that I realised just how fortunate we are been Ex-JWs. Well at least from a historical and theological perspective.

  What you cannot say about JW parents

  by Anony Mous in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i’m guiding a young person through some difficulties.

  at least some of the family including a parent and grandparents are/were jw.

  so there are some insecurities, without going into detail, young people are often worried that they may be ejected from the home after reaching a certain age if they offend their parents (totally normal feeling).. what i wanted to say is: a loving parent wouldn’t reject you because you did x, if anything they are expecting it, it is totally normal for you to do this.

  I have often wondered. If the age and reasons for leaving the JWs, determines how well that person adjust to secular society.

  WT HQ is never proactive, they are reactive to everything put out showing their blatant hypocrisy and abject stupidity

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few on here (and of course many on the ex-jw reddit forum) have mentioned that wt hq just recently (like in the past couple months) put out a video warning against the praising of jw actors, taking photos with them, etc.

  to not do it anymore.

  it was narrated by geoffrey jackson.

  Jw / LDS have the opposite problems.

  LDS are the most wealthiest religion on earth. Surpassing that of the Catholic Church, and comparable to that of Apple / Elon Mosk. However, despite their wealth they have a more inferior doctrinal and historical foundation to the church. Many aspects of the church has now been proven to be false e.g BoA, Kinderhook plates. The LDS would more likely run out of members before it runs out of money.

  The JWs have the opposite problem. For a religion of it size,I'd say its assets would be quite modest. Well at least when compared to that of the LDS. However the JW theology has more credibility, as it was largely based on mainstream Christianity. With all the on going legal battles, I have to wonder how deep their pockets are. They would go bankrupt before it splintered into smaller groups.

  i’m an elder who is pima, i’m amazed how much info is available to all elders.

  you can see all private details of every member of the congregation.

  i wonder how these sisters feel about their private details being available to these creepy elders?.

  Just thinking, what ever happened to Atlantis. Atlantis was a prolific poster, and the all of a sudden nada, zero, zip. How and where did he get all his leaks from.

  I totally believe Wt counting methods are accurate and correct. It generally aligns with the census of x2, and the census roughly aligns with memorial figures, of around 20 million attendees. Weather you take 9 million Wt count or 20 million memorial count, it's entirely up to you
