  My friend the 'Super-Dub.'

  by joey jojo in

  1. Jehovah's Witnesses
  2. Personal Experiences & Reunions

  i speak semi-regularly to an old friend of mine who i would describe as a super-dub.. he knows i am inactive but over the years i have peppered him with a lot of questions about the org.
  

  that i hoped would make him at least pause and think somewhat rationally about the reality of being a jw in this brave new- post gb 2.0 world.. we have discussed everything from the generation changes, to the u.n. , failed prophecy, flip flops, the reduction in size of the wt magazine, the closing/ consolidation of bethels including lay-offs, jw broadcasting, cart witnessing- etc, etc.. what do i mean by super-dub?
  

  he is a born-in, has missionary parents, he reg.

  WTBTS and donations - do you remember this gem?

  by Tallon in

  1. Watchtower Society / JW.org
  2. Beliefs, Doctrine & Practices

  no organisation can operate without funds - that's a given.
  

  however, when it comes to 'suggestions' on how one can make donations to support the org with its aims they are on a higher level.
  

  in light of the recent video whereby they are looking for donations for a disaster fund, do you remember this gem from yesteryear?.

  JWs + Chronic Illness

  by Cimarrona in

  1. Jehovah's Witnesses
  2. Personal Experiences & Reunions

  i once asked my dad why, with all the power the wt insists on having so much control over its adherents' lives, they don't provide information about healthy eating habits or, like the adventists, wilderness training.
  

  i mean, the gb encourage people to remain poor, and poverty is known to correlate with health outcomes, particularly those that are diet related.
  

  i'd say most witnesses i knew over the age of 40 were overweight, had high blood pressure, heart problems, gastrointestinal issues, one kind of cancer or another (no doubt a result of eating their feelings if you ask me).

  Why I constantly write letters to the Watchtower Society

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. Jehovah's Witnesses
  2. Personal Experiences & Reunions

  hi all.. for many years now, i have been writing letters to bethel in new york and london.
  

  i have also written to the charity commission, the bbc and more to highlight the harmful teachings and policies of the watchtower society.
  

  i realise that some may view this as futile and understand why they might feel this way,; especially considering the pharisaical stonewall-like attitude displayed by the leadership of watchtower.. some reasons i do so is because i feel that constructive criticism is essential in helping to bring about change.

  The Creation of Jesus

  by berrygerry in

  1. Watchtower Society / JW.org
  2. Beliefs, Doctrine & Practices

  seeing a trinity thread.. can a jw apologist explain what (not who) is jesus?.
  

  prior to the creation of everything 13.7 billion years ago (draw close book), jehovah created jesus as his firstborn, his only-begotten.. there was nothing else - no stars, no dust, no matter - just jehovah - and then, just jehovah and jesus.
  

  so, what was jesus?.

  Sexual Depredation as a function of male society by men of a Certain Age

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. Jehovah's Witnesses
  2. Friends

  i would like to remind those folks younger than i that it was very few years ago when almost the entire planet earth was run by and for the benefit of men.women have throughout history been the property of men.due to religious restrictions, teachings, and fundamentalist doctrines, women in the largest societies on earth right now (muslim, chinese, n.korean) have almost no human rights at all.next year, in june, women will, for the 1st time, be allowed in arabia to drive---but--only if they are 30 years old or older, and for only a few hours per day!the old testament laws (read through them sometime) are horrifying reflective of prejudice toward gender, bodily cleanliness, guilt-tripping, and anonymity.
