  The internet has become a logistical nightmare for this micromanaging and secretive religion, which has as its primary concern appearance over substance.

  Are JWs capable of a genuine discussion?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  i was just pondering whether jws are capable of having a calm, in depth discussion about religious or faith topics?.

  i have just finished listening to a great podcast by "dogma debate" (dan) episode 333. this fantastic, in-depth conversation between a theist and an atheist was a masterful example of how a dignified conversation can take place without it resorting to abruptness or even nastiness.. jws on the other hand seem incapable of having such discussion without ending up in the following ways:.

  1)they get dogmatic and defensive if a differing view is presented.. 2)if the conversation doesn't go their way, they cut it short saying something like "well, we had better agree to disagree" or the like.. so why the arrogance?

  The Pew Research Center that analyzes religions shows that JW’s consistently attain the least amount of education as a group. It’s no surprise that they also have the lowest annual income as a group.

  However, regardless of this you cannot tell a JW anything constructive. As soon as it’s negative in the slightest, or not entirely positive about them and their leaders the conversation is over.

  They are not allowed to fact check their beliefs or openly debate any interpretations. Regardless of all this, they display an extremely unjustified level of arrogance and overconfidence about themselves.

  Remember only they will be saved and have all the answers. You cannot teach them anything, they are on earth to teach us, and don’t ever forget they have the Best Life Ever.

  Manmade rules

  by Jrjw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was talking to someone a few years ago and he said in his congregation they have a rail of white shirts prepared in the cloakroom for if a speaker doesn't have a white shirt on.

  it was a rule in their hall that all brothers in the platform must wear white shirts when going talks and if the speaker won't comply when asked to change into the shirt they provide an elder in the congregation will do the talk instead.

  i have never known any other halls do it so it must be a rule the elders have made up without gb input.

  CO’s for the most part have been full of their self-righteous highfalutin PERSONAL OPINIONS on a variety of matters.

  They were often drunk with power and had a self-aggrandizing attitude.

  I say good riddance to them. I am glad that they are terminated and shown the door, at the age of 70.

  It really demonstrates how much their beloved JW branch headquarters cares about their sacrifice and opinions after all.

  terry walstrom posted this exceptional link on another thread.

  i think it so amazing that it should have a thread of its own so everyone can have clear and easy access to the document.

  Some hilarious experiences, how truly lame.

  That celestial chariot is certainly on the move. We realize it’s very hard for many of us to keep up with it our dear brothers & sisters.

  The end is imminent, we are on the very threshold of entering the new system and remember this is the Best Life Ever… so Don’t Give Up.

  Praise Jah.

  Birthdays are Evil - so they said

  by EverApostate in

  2. beliefs

  last week i celebrated my birthday.

  accepted well wishes from people near and far.

  had been happily accepting wishes from people since i quit the cult.. as a jw, (brainwashed ) belief that birthdays are evil was the stupidest belief i had in all my life.. when in, i had a hard time to explain to people that i don’t celebrate birthdays.

  EverApostate said, “As a JW, (brainwashed) belief that Birthdays are evil was the stupidest belief I had in all my life.”

  LongHairGal said, “Pay no attention to what the religion said (pagan nonsense) because they just want to isolate you from non-JW relatives and friends. They are afraid if you experience happiness around people who aren't judging you - you won't want the religion anymore.”

  Great observations above. When one is awake and looks back at what they believed in, it is truly astonishing at how duped we were. With the Watchtower goggles removed, the lunacy and total absurdity of JW beliefs we used to live by becomes disconcerting indeed.

  I always ask myself, “How in blazes did I fall for all this crap?”

  “Magnum” you are right with your observations.

  This religion is truly lame and embarrassing. I cannot wait for more craziness in the year 2018.

  I think many of us will be very surprised at how much this religion will continue to morph in order to remain relevant and hang onto members.
