i recently had a discussion with a jw concerning a change in wording of a scripture - in fact this was my all time favourite scripture, namely, micah 6:8.. my view is that the wtbts have deliberately changed the wording and meaning of the said scripture.
the other person is of the opinion that that is not the case.
micah 6:8.
Phizzy
This is simply an example if the JW Org using its Mind Control technique.
The average JW drone will think subconsciously of loyalty to the Org.
I agree wholeheartedly with this comment, totally brainwashed
So I'm asking what is your view? Am I right, or is the other person right?
Yes you are right Tallon, but you know talking to a brick wall and a jws is the same thing.
tell us a little about yourself and your family.. male, single, 62 yrs old.

married in victoria moved back to western australia to start our lives far away from her parents as possible.. two kids, son 37 yrs old, daughter 34. both are married and still jws.
Thank you pale.emperor,
I have downloaded your apostate interview haven't yet listened to it but I will for sure.
I personal believe JWs are so heavily brainwashed no one will leave until they themselves are ready.
You just can't fix stupid.
Thank you Tantalon
Just wanted to say ; about one of your comments about learning to hug and say "I love you", I too learned this from "worldly" people.
This was one of the biggest eye-openers that I learnt from "worldly" people.
Pretty sad when we were raised in the most loving group of Christians in the world!
Sad indeed

i am in conversation with a uk historian regarding some knights templar locations, where jws have built buildings.
*** this is serious research - not a joke *** .
i am not - and do not wish to be - a conspiracy theorist, but something has come to light in the uk and i lack the knowledge of knights templar + masons.

i left the wts in the early 1990's and i was baptised at the same assembly as this elder and his wife in the late 1980's they were probably in their early 50's back then, you know the kind; get called on, become a study and take to life as a jw like a duck takes to water, a dream call for all jw's and we went onto to be good friends with them over the years, the book study was held in their house also, he quietly progressed up the jw ladder became an ms then elder, a few months after i started my fade i saw him one day while i waited for a bus and he acknowledged me i said hi etc and he started a verbal tirade towards me about me knowing its the truth, how close we are living to the end, how stupid i was turning my back on it etc blah blah blah, i couldn't really get a word in edge ways, i bid him good day and that was that, he really was quite angry, i never saw him again until recently over 25 years later when him and his wife and their son were having a meal in my local pub, he was standing at the bar ordering, i saw him acknowledged him said hi and he looked straight through me, he said "do i know you ?
" i replied " hey eddie its jookbeard from the ********** congregation, surely you remember me?
" he said sorry i've never seen you before in my life, his wife came over to help him with his drinks and i said "hey pat, how are you?

smiddy3,
Is God so incompetent that he can`t say what he means ? or that he does not mean what he says ?
Better still why didn't Jesus write something down, after the books of Matthew Mark Luke and John all of them just quoting what Jesus said?
We could have the book of Jesus straight from the horse's mouth.....But ohhh NOOOO! That would make things to clear and understandable
would you join a religion which punishes you if you later on change your mind and choose to leave it?.
would you join a religion which claims to be the only one guided by god and yet has always got their prophetic utterances entirely wrong?.
would you join a religion which changes its beliefs every few years?.
Would you join a religion.....
NO full stop.
i don't remember seeing it ever really talked about here but the facebook group with the namesake of this post shut down at the end of march.
it was archived and they weren't clear as to when or if they would come back.
it seemed to come out of nowhere, and i know a lot of people were disappointed.
Thank you for raising this topic dubstepped
From what I gather Simon has basically built a lot of this custom himself. He, as far as I know, seems to be the only mod. So you know he gets a ton of messages and problems between people here to deal with. I don't know what he does exactly behind the scenes but my guess is there's some SEO involved and other things to keep up with. Props to Simon for keeping this place open while so many others fold.
I agree wholeheartedly
So thank you to Simon, and to your wife as well who I think does things behind the scenes or just supports you in this (I don't know who does what), because it isn't easy and you're truly helping people. This place was a lifesaver for me.
Yes, I too would like to thank Simon and his wife for the time and effort you put in to keeping this site up and running.
Simon very much appreciated.
For a novice like myself, this is by far the easiest site to navigate.
Keep up the good work, again thank you, Simon.
i know that many of us here enjoy listening to podcasts.. here is a relatively new one i just discovered: .
"the bible says what!?
" by michael wiseman.. (find it on your podcast player of choice).
"THE BIBLE says WHAT!?" by Michael Wiseman.
WOW!
That was worth listening too. Very interesting.
Thanks, stuckinarut2
