I Don't Think The Witnesses Really Care If You Can Explain Doctrine As Long As You Accept Them!

gone are the days of getting into discussions about their beliefs.

doing major research to prove a position or watchtower doctrine is a thing of the past.

all they want from you is to surrender and accept everything they say as undeniable truth.. do you agree?.

JW.ORG logo on EVERYTHING

by dynamiterose77 in

fine line between idolotry and branding... just sayin.... .

i'm just seeing a lot of home-made or print on demand site items with jw.org logos pasted all over.

as an art director, i laugh, because it's hideous.

I'm already exempt because I am allergic to anything made of paper.

Rosin (colophony) allergy

Paper products: one of the largest single uses of colophony is in the manufacture of paper and paperboard

What are the reactions to rosin allergy?

Reactions to contact with rosin in an allergic individual include acute allergic contact dermatitis and difficulty breathing. In allergic contact dermatitis the dermatitis tends to occur 1-3 days after contact with rosin, although occasionally reactions can appear within 24 hours or even more than a week after exposure. The dermatitis tends to be confined to the site of contact with rosin (e.g. hands and forearms after carrying pine wood, although the face may also be involved). Initially the skin becomes red and inflamed, and is generally itchy. As the reaction progresses it may blister and become even more intensely itchy. If exposure is continued, the dermatitis may eventually become chronic with thickened, lichenified skin.

Electronic Cigarettes

by WontLeave in

has anyone heard or had any first-hand experience with the society's reaction to electronic cigarettes?

none of the arguments used against real cigarettes hold water against e-cigs.

all of the dangerous chemicals are out.

JW.org funny statistics

by thedepressedsoul in

i went to alexa.com to see some stats on jw.org.

for some reason it still mentions it as watchtower.com but i'm sure that'll be updated at time.. .

two funny statistics i noticed.. .

How the heck does Alexa know the education level of people who visited?

They check the search terms of people who can't spell in Googles search with terms like:

jw.ogg

jw.borg

jw.ugg

jw.rugg

who.shot.jr

windowclean.cloth

bj.porn.hub.

etc..

An HONEST internet debunker of Watchtower who isn't an Ex

by Terry in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v8elawms60.

this fellow is unique.

he is a relatively young man who is in the adventist church.. he is smart, personable and intellectually honest.. he comes from a balanced attitude without rancor.. he is very very good at debunking the watchtower.

I don't know how you can even stand being in the midst of that great delusion faking it. I could not pretend for 3 minutes let alone 3 whole days.

Loneliness can have crippling effects , and the Watchtower knows how to use it..

by defender of truth in

"we are, as a rule, considerably diminished when disengaged from others.

isolation may very often be the sum total of wretchedness, as the writer thomas carlyle put it.".

"though note what he had to say about the two years he spent in isolation: its an awful thing, solitary.

The loneliest and most socially isolated years of my life were those spent in the organization, never out of it.
