  Younger Witnesses less fanatical or fundamental

  by optimisticskeptic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am a born in jw for over 30 years now and have been in various positions in the organization.

  now i'm guessing most of us recognize that older generations tend to be more fundamental and less reasonable when it comes to their outlook and beliefs.

  i find this to mirror the differences you see outside of the organization as well (older people less tolerant of other religions, newer technology, lgbt, etc.).

  Sister may have had a slight heart attack, do I text her?

  by Xanthippe in

  so my cousin phoned and told me my jw sister was taken to hospital with chest pains and it may have been a slight heart attack or possibly she's starting with angina.

  now as some of you know my sisters and brother have had little to do with me for 29 years.

  we've met at funerals, or arranged them, but i just thought today what if she did die?

  @ sbf... absolutely true in my case family members blowing hot and cold when it suits ie the guilt complex which is activated by the latest attack on non believers dissenters and their warped definition of apostasy. At the moment i am in the cold phase, but hey its water of a ducks back, ultimately it's their loss to reject normal loving family relations.

  Sign of apostasy

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  elders arranged a sort of informal visit by a more capable elder accompanied by another brother who is more qualified than me from academic background.

  their purpose was to reason with me as a last resort to avoid a jc.. during the two-hour discussion, i could make my point clear to them: “i don’t think any one particular religion has the whole truth.

  it may be existing as bits and piece in all religions and schools of thought.

  The jw hierarchy need apostates ( as they define ) it feeds their superiority and haughty attitude which they use to justify being ' no part of satans world '. Anyone who cares to investigate will soon discover that not only are they a part of this worlds systems ie a religious organization , registered corporation ,registered as charities and willing to align themselves with the United Nations until they were rumbled and willing to benefit financially from stocks and shares in ' worldly ' companies who deal in activities contrary to their stated and enforced standards which for the rank and file jws would be a disfellowshiping matter if they were discovered to be doing the same. These people ( the watchtower hierarchy ) are hypocritical charlatans of the highest order... my advice get out and stay away from them as fast as you comfortably can.

  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  Fake News By Jehovah’s Witnesses 🐑

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  much has been said about “fake news”.

  regarding the witnesses, they would always ask, “ did you hear the latest”?.

  since the witnesses claim to have the “truth”, can you express anything that turned out to be truly “fake news”?

  It's always interesting that although this forum operates internationally certain statements bring the focus close to home unexpectedly and rekindle memories... I also remember the greenlees and believe they owned a few footwear stores. Kilbirnie ( actually in Glengarnock) k'hall is now a cafe/bistro and imo serves the community better. Does anyone remember Hay and Henry wholesalers who employed a lot of jws? In Glasgow and Paisley?

  I am an atheist... To the extent of the limitations of my reasoning power. Outwith the scope of the human brain well who knows? Does that make me agnostic /atheist. There's a lot of explanations about the spark of life which science endeavours to discover, if they evidentially discover 'god' (whatever form) then the ball game changes..but I'm not holding my breath.
