  Generally Speaking Do You Support The Police?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know bad cops exist in many cities.

  i know some cops who aren’t “bad” but do have an attitude.

  however, i prefer to have law and order as opposed to chaos.

  I have great respect and sympathy for the police. But a complete reformation of how policing is done is needed to build public trust AND police safety.

  my nephew has awakened but is still at the beginning of his journey.

  he doesn't want to leave his mother (my sister) behind and is trying to help her think critically.

  (no chance of him being dfed because he was never baptized).

  When I woke up I read Hassan's first book, Combating Cult Mind Control, but never read his next two, Releasing the Bonds and Freedom of Mind.

  I'm going to buy one of them for my nephew. Which one would you recommend?

  Why dont the JWS see that they are supporting a corrupt and commercialized false Gospel ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  its astonishing to reflectively realize the jws are supporting a group of men who teach and profess a false and tainted commercialized gospel of jesus and his the new kingdom order.

  out of hundreds of christian faiths in existence only one teaches that 1914 was the year christ returned and has taken to his heavenly throne in heaven.

  according to the bible this date setting is an act of disloyalty and apostasy through the very words of jesus.

  Sometimes I wonder if they are defending the governing body, or their own defense of the governing body.

  That should cover the cost of hiding a couple more pedophiles.

  "Do you believe that the 'faithful slave' is God's channel of communication?"

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a jw had the nerve to ask me this question, i'd say to them, "you go first.

  using only scriptural proof, show me why you believe that the wtbts/ccojw is god's choice and i'll tell you if i agree with your scriptural reasoning.".

  wait for the silence and the rabbit in the headlights moment.. i searched on the wt cd rom for references of "channel of communication.".

  The governing body has stated THEMSELVES that it is not necessary for them to identify who IS or who IS NOT a member of the 144,000 (which is a requirement for being a member of the "faithful slave". The governing body has stated that many people who think they are members of the 144,000 may be emotionally disturbed.

  I would ask anyone, especially the governing body member ( who MAY or MAY NOT be emotionally disturbed) why "They bind up heavy loads [of identification] and put them on the shoulders of men, but they themselves are not willing to budge them with their finger."

  Confession Time - Music You're Embarrassed to Admit Listening To

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  admit it, we all have things that we reel off when people ask what our favourite music is, just the same as if people ask what our favourite movies are.

  we're meant to say "citizen kane" and "casablanca" and not "battleship" or "pacific rim" but we know what we're going to watch if they are ever on tv at the same time (and which ones we've never actually seen).. so how about some confession time?

  what do you listen to when no one else is in the house?.

  When I was still brain scrubbed... I loved playing the Kingdom Melodies on Sunday morning as I got ready for meeting. It helped get my spiritusistic juices flowing. I was convinced is drew me closer to Jehovah on this special day of worship.

  (if I knew how to spell the sound of puking, it would appear here: _________ ).

  I love classical music. Most of my redneck friends don't know that. But I do.

  This girl is fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjx-AxpZUxQ

  I finally did it

  by paradiseseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's done.. during the last month i've been talking with my closest friends about leaving the org and yesterday i finally talked with my parents.. it's been almost 5 months after i said that i would do it, but i think that this extra time has been beneficial.

  i've said several times that i would opt for sending a resignation letter, but after talking to my best friends some of them suggested me becoming inactive and blocking my congregation's elders.

  i've changed my mind and i will do that because the people that i care the most now know what's going on so they won't be worrying about me not attending the meetings.
