  Got my JC cancelled... (at least for now)

  so my wife and i have been in the process of fading for a few months now as per my original post here.

  about a week ago, i was browsing some ex-jw facebook groups when i saw a post that linked to the crisis of conscience book.

  i said "f@(k it" and hit share on it.. a few hours later, i get a long text letter from my mom (who was a fb friend of mine) telling me the typical "good luck finding friends in the world" and how we have "nothing in common anymore"; basically, it was a 'farewell' text.

  Humour

  it seems like the wt society makes good use of humor to lure people into the sect during the meetings, ca, annual meets, etc.

  wonder does anyone else believe that is a big way for them to try to make people enjoy all the meetings..

  shock horror! WITNESSING ATTIRE NOW CONDONES OPEN-NECK SHIRTS FOR MALES!

  by steve2 in

  go to jw.org right now friends and you will see a young male jw witnessing in a rural setting with publication in hand and - take careful note - wearing a crisply-white open-neck shirt.

  bring out the carnival, light the lights: the organ ization is kicking itself into an ongoing casualization of its rank and file.. in the 1960s through 1980s i know brothers who dared to attire themselves sans ties who were reprimanded or worse.

  Can Spirit-Directed Organization Lie?

  by abiather in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when god says something, it is like the meaning of traffic signal: red light means always stop.. when spirit-directed organization says something, it is like shining ever brighter till the full light of day, (proverb 4:18) and then it becomes dimmer and dimmer and at the end of the day darker and darkest, .

  thus red lights meaning becomes start!.

  yes, a spirit-directed organization can lie.

  Biggest pain in the side of the Governing Body of JWs

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at http://www.anointedjw.org/ a higher eschelon jw mentions that at a meeting of co's with do's it was stated that anointedjw.org website is the biggest pain in the side of the governing body.. do you feel that what's being published at anointedjw.org is having a big effect on the gb and / or on the congregations?.

  if so what is it about their articles there that are opening jw eyes to an awakened state where so many others have tried and failed to awaken jws?.

  what do you foresee could hapen as a result of pressure from anointedjw.org and their articles on the gb's attitude and their reactions?.

  it says on page 1 par.

  3 in the q&a item.

  "where people belong to a non-christian religion, or to no religion at all, it may be better to mention the bible on a return visit, rather than at the outset.

  Twisted thinkers

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the ratio of non-witnesses to witnesses worldwide is roughly 1000:1.. i feel that most people would give up their own life if they were faced with a situation where their own death would result in continued life for a thousand other people.

  inside, we all know that it would be the right thing to do.. but the witnesses are anxiously awaiting the death of 1000 people per witness so that they can have a better life.. people would have to be awfully bad before i would refuse to die for a thousand of them.

  a lot worse than they are right now.
