Controversial Opinion: Why the web site campaign is actually brilliant

by Apognophos in

there's a lot of talk right now about how stupid it is to have jws hand out leaflets with urls on them.

"why go to someone's door to tell them they can visit a web site that lets them ask for someone to come to their door?

" well, i'm sorry, but i have to weigh in with a contrary opinion here on how clever the society is.

Yes I agree..I wonder if the 8 million have realised they are being used as unpaid salesmen to prop up the coffers of ' mother '

Atheists and JWs are on the same footing!

by exWTslave in

atheists believe that god should stop the large-scale injustice on earth; if he does'nt, then he does not exist.

jws believe that god will intervene sometime in the last days!.

interestingly, both throw themselves on their own expectation of soemthing god should or will do, yet in fact something god does not have to do.

Ex wt,..I do agree if humans are more loving it will certainly be beneficial for our living environments.

However your accoubt of the crocodile and the childrenm.., who feeds the animal? Does it find its own food as nature intends?.

If it goes hungry the children would be in its belly NOT on its back with the shopping.

GET REAL!!!

The impact of tv advertising is immense, why would exponents of it spend multi millions otherwise?

The borg are free to utilise this method with however many tv stations as they wish, who would refuse their money?

They are after all ' advertising gods kingdom '.

If they are truly sincere in their goal , why don't they use a proven medium which other 'big businesses' take advantage of with proven success?

Best wishes.

A 30 second prime time tv ad would surely have more of an impact.

What stops them....money ??!!!

by purrpurr in

while i'm glad i found this site, it has also crumbled to bits everything i've believed in my whole life.

i feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life.

this has left a huge hole in my soul.

You may like the IDEA of god if you need it but certainly not the reality of god (unless anyone can prove differently).

Father denies children inheritance unless they quit Jehovah's Witnesses

an article in the sydney morning herald:.

http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/father-denies-children-inheritance-unless-they-quit-jehovahs-witnesses-and-become-catholics-20140810-102egl.html#ixzz39yziuuvf.

"from beyond the grave, father-of-four patrick carroll continued a five-decade crusade to steer his children away from being active jehovah's witnesses and into catholicism.. mr carroll wrote into his will that his adult children were not to receive any inheritance unless they met two conditions: attend his funeral and become catholics within three months of his death.. mr carroll died in april 2012. his children attended the funeral but they did not become catholics and challenged the condition in the nsw supreme court in a bid to still receive their share of his estate.. but justice francois kunc last week ruled that mr carroll was entitled to place such conditions on his will.. the court heard that mr carroll's motivation was not so much about imposing his own beliefs but rather the fact he never approved of his children becoming jehovah's witness.. the court heard that mr carroll did not raise his children as catholics, neither he or they had attended church services when they were young and he did not enroll them in catholic schools.. but when he split from their mother lillian in 1959 she became a jehovah's witness and over the next decade the couple's four children, robyn, paulene, anthony and susan, were baptised as jehovah's witnesses.. mr carroll never approved of "their adherence to that faith", the court heard.. "[lillian's] conversion to that faith enraged mr carroll, who for the rest of his life continued to express his very strong objections to lillian's and the children's member of that faith," justice kunc said in his judgement.. the court was told that all four of his children remain active members of their congregation.. in his will, written in december 2011, four months before he died, mr carroll left more than a third of his estate to his four children "dependent upon them becoming baptised into the catholic church within a period of three months from the date of my death and such gifts are also subject to and dependent my children attending my funeral.".

Off to Edinburgh With JWFacts.com cards

by cofty in

we are going to edinburgh today to see what's going at the festival, go out for a meal and probably see a show.. i have made up some cards with the jwfacts.com logo to hand to jws on the trolleys.

there is nothing on the cards part from the logo.

ttatt is only a click away..

galaxie

Thanks for the reply and congrats on your anniversary.

Are the cards specifically for jws being that the ganeral public who are taking the literature from the trolleys may benefit from the information at jwfacts.

That being the case perhaps a different wording on the card as 'the truth about the truth' may not register.

Just a thought.

The cards are a great idea I'll consider doing the same

Cheers
