Why do we say Witness teachings are idiotic - Weren't all of us Witnesses?
by BonaFide inso many on this forum talk about how witnesses are stupid, ignorant, unable to reason, and brainwashed.
we also pick apart the watchtower as having such stupid teachings, and how anyone can see all of it is so ridiculous.
some use terms like the filthful slave, and the washtowel.. yet, many of us were witnesses for years, or even decades.

Understand the Witness mindset before we blast them with facts
by BonaFide intelling a witness "hey, all the stuff you teach is bs" may be correct, but does that approach work?
i have been reading on here how several have tried that direct method with their family or friends.
it didnt work for me, and now i am having more and more success by repeating that i support the organization and the faithful slave, then i bring up "an interesting point".

Watchtower Farms Cemetery gravestone photos - sad
by BonaFide infirst of all, if anyone is offended by the photos, then i will ask this topic to be removed.
i am posting the photos because i get sad sometimes about people being forgotten who tried so hard, even though they were wrong.
the cemetery is pretty easy to find, if you have any interest in finding it.

Those wonderful, wonderful, E-mail forwarded illustrations about Jehovah
by BonaFide ini remember a couple years back i got some emails with illustrations and stories about jehovah.
i googled them, and sure enough, the originals were from "christendom" websites.
someone had changed "lord" to jehovah.

Don't forget how you felt when you were in the truth
by BonaFide ini am still reading about how some on here are trying to tell their family members the witnesses are wrongand they bring up all these different ways the witnesses are wrong, and what teachings are wrong.
remember what it was like when we were "believers?
" we immediately stopped any "negative" comments by householders that we felt attacked the organization.. so if we want to get our point across, stay away from saying, "the organization is wrong.
