They can deny they are a cult as much as they like but their own printed history reveals the true nature of the Watchtower.

by nicolaou in

this is a very familiar quote to many of us but try reading it as if you are 'joe public'.

doesn't it just scream, cult!.

7 only jehovah's witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd", as a united organization under the protection of the supreme organizar, have any scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by satan the devil.. the watchtower october 1st 1989 page 19. remaining organised for survival into the millenium.

Discussion with 2 Elders about IS

by Da.Furious in

some will notice i was really busy during the weekend, thats true as some jws will say i was in a spiritual paradise surrounded by brothers.. my view of a paradise is everybody living in harmony and happy, my weekend experience was more like unhappy people and complaining about almost everything, not to mentioned the quite discussion in the corners (i.e.

gossips).. anyway, during on the discussions, the is (islamic state) topic was started.

it all started when on the elders said that he prefers to talk to muslims in the ministry since they are more open minded and accept our teaching.. i dont come from a muslim background but lived among them enough to understand what they believe.

FFS, talk about conflicting beliefs. Whatever that Elder is smoking, take it away.

Lying about Shunning! jw.org conceals the "truth"

by Skinnedsheep in

http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/shunning/ .

"those who were baptized as jehovahs witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned.

in fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest.".

Like others said, 'who would join if this were public knowledge'? my husband didn't realise he was expected to treat a df'd person any different until someone told him to.

for those still "in" what's the mood

by lastchance in

in my area the general sense is bleak.

many are in survival mode.

even at the convention the appearance of the majority was unhappy and tired.

The lack of love at last year's DC is part of what woke me up...my husband is still in though. I think his thinking is more like: 'where else would I go?'

WTBTS continues to move to paperless

by pronomono in

during my last meeting i was approached to see if i would be willing to switch to the electronic version of the km/watchtower.

i thought to myself "i'm way ahead of you here, buddy.

been doing it for almost a year.

@pronomono Wow, how dare you take your wife's preference into consideration...you must be one of those 'modern' men.

Pixar the production company is jealous of Caleb and Sophia video's

by life is to short in

so said the co last night.. apparently a jw was on a flight and just happend to sit next to some big wig from pixar and when the man from pixar heard that he was a jw the pixar man just gushed over what great work that the watchtower has done in producing the caleb video's.

he siad he only wished pixar could do such great work.

the co said we are able to do it because we have free labor and jehovah behind us.. my husband stayed home from the meeting but wanted to tie in by phone and that is what the co said in his talk.. the co also talked about all the changes that have happened in the last ten years and how if some of the friends did not like it they needed and to quote him "they just needed to get over it" these changes are going to happned period.

Our good friend Palimpsest over at JWR has a Pixar contact. She emailed him, this was his response:

"hadn't heard of it. passed it around my pod and no one recognized it. we follow animation close obviously so its not anything major. an exec would only know it if it had been in festivals or came through screening here.

the production is a fair amateur effort. whoever made it is a little trained but not experienced. its basic and wouldn't win any awards in a student show. but its better than alot of the shorts I've seen. still no way an exec said that. the message is as oppoiste of what we say in our films as it gets ."
