  #Persecution selfies: what do you think?

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so apparently the new watchtower russia exhibition features a pretend cell for jws to take pretend "persecution selfies' and wallow in the glorious suffering that is essential for watchtower theology to work - yet is strikingly missing from the lives of 99% of witnesses.. in fact most governments go to great lengths to protect the rights of witnesses, spending millions in public funds either directly to watchtower - in the form of grants ( norway, germany etc) - in various types of tax relief, or in the money spent in court cases establishing watchtowers rights and freedoms (& protecting their kids, whether they know it or not).. i'm interested to know how everyone feels about this...particularly terry walstrom and other guys who have spent time in jail in the name of watchtower's freedom of conscience.

  personally i think it reeks of desperation by watchtower and is another example of the type of fantasizing that witnesses regularly indulge in.. also....funny how the end is soooo close that they've had time to build a museum of watchtower history!!

  anyone else see the irony in that?!!.

  The "figurative" heart

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  about 25 years ago i gave a talk about how when the bible talks about the heart that it is the literal heart and how the heart and the brain are connected by nerve tissue.

  the watchtower even stated that some people who received a heart transplant would take on some of the personality of the donor.then all of a sudden the borg changed and said that when the bible refers to the heart that it is figurative.

  then when ever the watchtower referred to the heart it always put the word figurative in front of it.. does anyone know why there was a change in the use of the word heart?

  Sisters

  during the first talk tonight, the brother giving the talk indicated that now comments were to include sisters!

  previously mostly only brothers were mentioned in most prayers or comments - has anyone else heard this tonight?.

  the meeting seemed to be positioned directly to and about sisters.

  I realize that this is kind of personal, but

  what does being a "spiritual person" mean to you?

  the religion would have had us to believe that our place in the organization is definitive of that.

  or how often we pray.

  Did Steven Unthank really take the GB to Court?

  by Newly Enlightened in

  mike & i have been getting a lot of questions asked of us about a lot of things since we've been in the ex-jw community since 2012.. apparently someone is spreading some things about steven unthank never going to court.. we don't have a dog in this fight but we're getting tired of so many involving us in their fights, drama & mis-information.

  (please see our "coming to jesus meeting part 1 link below).

  this is what i found.. first steven's old website that has the information about these hearings:.

  Do You Think That Belonging To Certain Political Parties Suggests You Are Uneducated or Poor?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hear some people say that if you are a republican or democrat that you must not be very educated, intelligent or monetarily stable.

  .

  do you think it’s proper to paint any person as less than favorable because of their political opinions?

  Normal Family Relations Continue...My Arse....

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i think that the big issue here is the double standard based on the location of the family members - if they are 'immediate' meaning they live at home in the same dwelling under the same roof then it's ok but if you are like me and living on your own, your family will absolutely avoid contact with you as that is the real jw policy..the old canada court trial and recent swedish news are totally out of context and the jw attorneys are complete tools and filthy liars....
