  the guy in the video you posted has a whole series on you tube explaining how he proved Mormonism wrong and he used witnesses as his comparison. Also great videos

  I love the ex Mormon videos! Totally wish ex-dubs had something similar. They also seem to be very well made videos as well. It seems like someone with a little Ching is behind them.

  You could always ask her. Make it clear that if you have a child you never want them to step their foot in a KH. Her response will tell u a lot.

  Will there ever be another campaign like the 2006 one with kn37 ("The End of False Religion Is Near!")?

  by Magnum in

  remember the 2006 tract campaign with kingdom news 37 - the end of false relgion is near!?

  it seems to me that jwdom has changed to the point that there will not be anymore such campaigns.

  it seems that the new rebranded jwdom is too soft for such a campaign; it's too feel-good, happy-clappy, and mainstream.. i just can't imagine a tract campaign like that coming from the new jwdom.

  Wow. That was already 8 years ago. This old system just keeps marching on. I don't think they would do another campaign like that again, but then again the Borg never ceases to surprise me.

  do we obsess about the jw org?

  i admit i do.

  the reason is that two of my offspring are still held hostages by the beliefs of the cult..

  What is the difference? Aren't they both idols?

  I'm not sure.    Someone could argue that the old WT insignia was an idol as well.   I think the standard J-Dub answer would be that the jW.org insignia isn't worshiped or used in worship like the cross is.  It's just an identifier. I'm not defending it though. I think it's all a stupid rebranding effort. But an idol???  My thought would be no.

  21 Years as an Elder, 5 as an MS, I will never be that guy again.

  by James Jack in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.

  of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.

  i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.

  A quick summary of topics and issues wrong with jws

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you know how our minds often get all "fuzzy" and confused when we are put on the spot and asked to come up with points?

  we often tend to lose focus and go off on tangents?.

  im trying to compile a basic list of bullet points for the most obvious and clear problems / doctrines / history of witnesses that can blow the org out of the water.. it is more for the purpose of getting my own thoughts clear rather than using it to talk to witnesses (as that doesn't really work).

  They destroy families.     Any witness can look around their local KH and count how many parents don't talk to all of their kids.
