No Resurrection for Fluffy!
by cameo-d in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
one of the meanest stories put forth by watchtower psychos is telling children that their beloved pets will never come back resurrected.. not only must the child deal with the trauma of confronting death, the grief of losing a love, and the inability to reason why this happens.... but adults offer no real words of comfort and instead cause more psychological trauma by telling the kid that they can have a pet lion instead.. poor kid doesn't want a pet lion.

he wants fluffy back.

what kind of psych-ops crap is this?

once again our lurking jw friend sent us this latest mind control drivel from the " witness only " watchtower.

remember - this is the information our jw relatives will study in their witness meetings at their watchtower study.

this is what they are currently being indoctrinated with.

How many visit here that are non-members? (lurkers)...we have many newbies
by oompa in
1. jw
2. friends
is there a way to know in any given period of time, like a month or year, how many visit jwd/jwn that are non-members.

so many of the newbies mention they have been "long time lookers"...... that i am now curious.

i can understand why early doubting dubs are prob scared to death at first, since any non-jw material is so taboo...they prob just take a quick peek....then another....then really start reading and looking back on on threads..............oomps.
