  TO THE STUPID ATHEISTS:

  by atheist_R_stupid in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  being that this is not "ex jws" and in fact, more driven by atheists talking a bunch of crap, im not even going to address you people like you know anything about jws because you dont.

  nor am i going to assume you know the bible because none of you do.. and yes, im speaking down at you all because you men have actually went out your way to make a site to speak down at an entire group of people.

  yet i bet you cant even handle a single uswer talking down at you, like you talk down about jws can you?.

  He sounded frightened to me.   I think someone needs a hug...

   

  Problem is with all those prickles sticking out, hugging is hard.

  YAWEHLAND - Imagine a country where Jehovah's Witnesses are the majority

  in 2018, cyprus goes bankrupt (again).

  many of its inhabitants, lacking jobs and prospectives of a better future, emigrate to more prosperous countries.

  cyprus' society is on the brink of collapse.

  I thought about this when I watched the film Philomena about the Irish babies of single mums that were taken from them and forcibly adopted.  I thought, what if Ireland wasn't Catholic but JW instead.

  My conclusion is that the situation would have been if not the same then worse.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT a Cult......so they say.

  by Tenacious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  trying to develop a good strategy for relatives still partially indoctrinated by this despicable inhumane cult.

  i researched their own material and i found some good info on how they don't mind control anyone.

  the following unedited information was sourced from their february 15, 1994 watchtower p. 5-7. i've highlighted some sentences that we all know are lies and a distortion of the reality of their community:.

  I like to use "High Control Religion" instead of cult. They don't go into auto-shutdown because you've said they're a religion and then there's a chance you can start discussing the high control bit.

  How I Found Jesus!

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  by looking at cdn court cases.. i knew i would find him if i persisted.. there is clear evidence, in my view, that beginning some time, probably in early 2010, but perhaps earlier, that mr. jones developed a delusional disorder with a primary religious focus.

  mr. jones accounting of the development of his belief that he is jesus christ, is consistent with the known development of psychotic disorders.

  mr. jones describes a period of time where he felt that he had some greater purpose or was meant for something important although he was unable to really identify what that was.

  DINOSAURS - What do Jehovah's Witnesses Believe?

  by Bloody Hotdogs! in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as part of my deconversion catharsis, i have been building a(nother) website to highlight some of the more ridiculous jw beliefs.

  im a looong way from done, but i wanted some early feedback on one article: dinosaurs.

  Re: The dinosaur carving, here's an article:

  http://paleo.cc/paluxy/stegosaur-claim.htm

  For my money it's not a dinosaur. If it isn't meant to represent a real animal maybe a rhino, like the bird carving also on the pillar, then it's some kind of fantasy beast like the toothy monkey wearing a wig which is also carved on the same pillar. :)

  Your favourite dog breed ...?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. family

  in an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.

  huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.

  this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.

  Labradoodle! Never had a dog before because of allergies but our pup has the poodle coat that doesn't shed so I don't suffer and she's smart as a button!

  how did it affect you?.

  Evolution and spirits

  by Chris Tann in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as of now iam making an unbiased examination of evolution.

  however one thing keeps me hanging on to the belief of a supreme spirit being; the existence of spirits.

  i have heard countless accounts of people who have experienced frightening encounters with evil forces.

  I can tell you an experience I had *last night*. I fell asleep waiting for my wife to come home and woke up in terror because someone was jumping up and down on the bed. The figure was really skinny and had a long coat and a hat on, pulled down over their eyes. The dog jumped off the bottom of the bed and ran out of the room like the clappers. I sat up and heard the key turn in the door downstairs and the figure vanished.

  Now what I *think* happened was that my wife opening the door woke the dog who ran downstairs to say hello and all the rest was my mind trying to make sense of it all. The figure seemed perfectly real to me but I am sure was created entirely by the dog jumping off the bed. Well, that or a skinny ghost decided to wake me up for fun. Which is more likely? :)
