  Has a 'Christian' ever murdered somebody?

  by goddidit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a jw made the claim "no christian [jw] has ever murdered anyone".. when i showed examples of such, the goalposts moved a bit with "was he a baptized, dedicated witness?".

  can anyone provide examples of murders committed by "baptized, dedicated" jws?.

  thanks.

  Are logos evil?

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a vague memory of jws having some objection to logos of some kind in the past, which might be a contradiction to the recent addition of the jw.org logo.. please can someone enlighten me on what their stance used to be regarding logos?.

  Commitment

  by goddidit in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i always wondered why jws found it so hard to just walk away once they decided they didn't believe anymore.

  surely all they have to do is stop going to the meetings, i thought.

  i imagined there must be more to it than i could see but i might never know.

  i stumbled across this old chestnut.

  i remember a jw telling me this when i was a kid, and he believed it.. i only recently found out how well known this is, and has been for some time.

  does anyone know which of the jw mags or books had it in?.

  Bro at table set up wouldn't answer question (but still counted his time)

  by ShirleyW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i asked when they would start offering gray bible and she said two weeks, then the only bro at the table saw my headphones in my hand started in by saying " i see you're plugged in, do you have a smartphone?

  to which i said no, because i just had a feeling that must've been a new angle to tell folks about the new bible app.the sis said they would start offering it in two weeks the bro goes on to mention that you can download the app and you get the bible in five different languages and mentions some other stuff you can do onthe app, i said all this technology reminds when the society admonished you all to stay away from the interenet about 25 years ago .

  you should've seen his face, he was smiling but was thinking "how does show know" behind that smile.

  The Revised NWT - A great timewaster

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  sometimes the wtbts are just brilliant in coming up with new ways of wasting the jws time.. with this new edition they will have to be getting their head's around new terms and phrases.

  many jws will know a lot of verses off by heart, now they will be required to relearn them which will be no simple task.. they have been told to keep their old nwt for research purposes.

  now instead of looking up one scripture they will have two bible's to look up.. the writing committee now has so much new material available to them to write copious articles about.

  Combatting cult mind control by steven hassan

  by goddidit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i've been hearing a lot of good things about this book.

  apparently, some of its readers were actual believing jws and it deprogrammed them.. i'm curious why they read it in the first place though, since jws are discouraged from reading anything outside their own literature.. i know a recent convert who i'd like to help.

  i could buy him the book.

  The US Government actually deserves credit for the WT heading it's way down....

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the government wanted the wt shut down as well.

  they found out that the wt teaches all it's members not to get an education, not to get any good paying job, to spend all their time placeing magazines and being window washers.

  so they said, we'll make the cost of insurance, infact require insurance by law, increase the cost of living on everything, then the wt members won't have any spare money to donate and the wt will just fade away due to lack of money.. so the wt after the economy and all cost of living going through the roof the past few years, plus some lawsuits, is suddenly cash starved.
