  The antidote to the myth that JWs are declining

  by slimboyfat in

  one of the most persistent myths on this website is that jws are already in decline, the rot has set in, and the descent of the watchtower is inevitable from here on in.

  unfortunately the facts do not bear this out.

  jws are still increasing even in most developing countries, and they are still growing worldwide at a faster rate than the general population.

  Falling asleep praying...did you?

  i remember there being 'admonition(tm)' from the platform about how disrespectful it is to sky twat jar hoover if we nod off when speaking to our imaginary despot god.. i was always nodding off when praying.

  i noticed in the end it didn't matter if i prayed or not the results were always equally disappointing snooze or not!.

  In my congregation there were direct references from the platform to many movies. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Titanic, even the Lion King (the hyena's were supposedly homosexuals)

  Thanks for the ET article - I would say that is proof enough to prove the frequently asked questions as a boldface lie.

  Do You Ban Certain Movies, Books, or Songs?

  No. Our organization doesn’t review specific movies, books, or songs so as to rule on what our members should avoid. Why not?

  The Bible encourages each individual to train his “perceptive powers” to discern right and wrong.—Hebrews 5:14.

  The Scriptures set forth basic principles that a Christian can weigh when selecting entertainment. * As with all areas of life, our goal is to “keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord.”—Ephesians 5:10.

  The Bible teaches that family heads have a measure of authority, so they may choose not to allow certain entertainment among members of their household. (1 Corinthians 11:3; Ephesians 6:1-4) Outside the family, however, no one is authorized to ban specific films, songs, or artists as being unacceptable for members of the congregation.—Galatians 6:5.

  * Footnote. For example, the Bible condemns anything that promotes spiritism, sexual immorality, or violence.
