  Reverse-Witnessing works better with honey than with vinegar ;)

  so... i am gaining more experience reverse-witnessing, and i had the greatest of ideas!!

  i don't have to say anything against the watchtower, there's sufficient flip-flops in the wt to make one cringe!!

  so what i did was, opened a fb, went to a jw forum, added as many jw's as i could, and opened up a fb page that just posts quotes from the very first watchtowers.

  so i was watching this on netflix today and had only really heard about the comparisons between jc and horus in religulous.

  it amazed me how incredibly credulous i was as a witness- i would never have watched a video so full of "lies" had i still been in.. or maybe i'm willing to believe anything now..... for those that have seen it- how convinced were you with the comparisons between jesus and the zodiac?.

  *Facepalm* What do you make of this cultish email I just got from my JW friend? What do I say to her?

  by Julia Orwell in

  a bit of background: she is a sweet sister who has hard a really hard life: mum killed in an accident when she was young while once-an-elder dad was off having an affair after having been released from jail after serving time as a pedophile; she spent months in hospital after the accident which killed her mother; brothers jailed as pedos, ex husband left her cold with their 6 month old son- she's had a tough life and is a really sweet lady.

  she's intelligent, caring, forgiving and articulate.

  far too good for jws.. she 'brought me into the truth' as they say, and as such we've always had a pretty good bond.. now, after the gossip/slander fiasco of another so-called friend running around telling everyone i'm an apostate and not to talk to me, i unfriended my jw friends from facebook with an explanation.

  "...I've accepted that the part of my life that had those friends in it is over, and I've realised that although I think highly of them and have affection for them, they now belong to the past."

  You're preachin' to the proverbial choir, I can relate on a grand scale.

  Julia, tell her how much you love her as your friend and how important she is to you and let the rest be. Giving her all the facts and details will serve only to push her away and she won't listen anyways.

  This would definitely be a time to just let it be and move on to the next thing, no sense wasting time with someone who already knows all the answers(the org is imperfect yet ALWAYS right).

  Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT false prophets

  by SloppyJoe in

  2. friends

  tonight on the service meeting we discussed why jws are not false prophets.

  of the ten minute part two were spent discussing that jws just had wrong expectations and only very minor changes over the years although nothing specific was mentioned.

  the other eight focused on the core bible truths that have remained the same over the years.

  Decades of human potential wasted isn't a big deal, those are the effects of "minor" changes.

  " It won't bother their "conshintses"and it will be in line with your organizations arrangements. You have called me "mentall diseased" you called me "evil". "

  The nerve on this dude is unbelievable, let me insult you and beg for money at the same time and expect you to be cool about it. Douche.

  Free today - the book I wish I'd found when I was getting out of JWs.

  it's called quitting jehovah's witnesses & other cults: how to do it & why you should, and i hope you'll check it out.

  i wrote it because other books seemed to focus on personal experiences (boring, irrelevant) or doctrinal discussion of why i should convert to some other religion (boring, irrelevant and insulting).

  anyway, it's an ebook, it's free, and it's out today..
