  Book Burning and other burning of materials done by JW. Any experiences Please post

  by adjusted knowledge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a very young child i have memories of several book burnings done by jw families.

  it wasn't something arranged by the congregation, but elders did participate in it.

  it was actually scary for me as a child of only about 8 years old.

  If They Stopped Shunning Tomorrow?

  by cofty in

  imagine that the cult decided to stop shunning family members on the proviso that the dfd person was not actively trying to attack the cult.. (please don't debate whether or not this is likely - it's hypothetical).

  how would you respond to your family?.

  personally i think i would be less than cooperative.

  Excuses to miss the meeting that won't raise suspicion of a fade

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.

  this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).

  2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).

  Does Tithing at Church Count as a Charitable Donation?

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it has been interesting to see the shift in financial strategies that the wts is implementing recently.

  from reading recent threads, it appears like 'they' are adopting a tithing donation system, similar to what is practised in "those wicked churches of christendoom".

  i am curious as to who it is that stands to benefit the most tax wise in this recent shift.

  Paradise is going to suck!

  by WasOnceBlind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  once you really start thinking about it, the whole paradise idea is kind of depressing.

  i remember growing up as kids my sister was the first to tell my parents (admittedly very courageously) that she wasn't sure she wanted to live in paradise, it sounded boring living forever.

  i thought she was dumb for thinking that, i mean playing with lions!!!!
