  these men are appointed by holy spirit,.

  here is the source: http://www.economiadigital.es/es/notices/2015/01/la-fiscalia-imputa-una-estafa-de-mas-de-170-millones-de-euros-a-una-congregacion-de-testigos-de-jeho-65161.php.

  basically, if you don't know spanish, it boils down to this: (my personal editorial of what i've read).

  Bogus!

  But I hope I am proved wrong. Any bad press for the Borg brings a smile to my face.

  Sorry guys.     I don't buy it.      In order for this to be true the whole GB would have to be truly evil and working a sinister plan (like Dr. evil).      I have seen no evidence of this.       On the contrary they all act like totally deluded fully indoctrinated and brainwashed fools who lack the education required to run the worldwide printing and real estate company that they have been endowed with.

  End times madness?

  by erbie in

  my wife's parents who are pretty obsessed with the watchtower religion are going on holiday more than they are at home these days and spending money like it is something evil to be got rid of.

  i have not been to a meeting in a long time but after reading the thread on hysteria by campaign of hate and the whole tv broadcasting thing i got to wondering if they really are ramping up the 'sense of urgency'.

  many on here are better informed than me so i'd be interested to hear whether this is a common thing..

  JW TV is the reason for the hysteria in the KH

  if you, like me, have noticed the sudden increase in hysteria in the khs right now, i put it down to that jw tv site.

  its's far more extensive than i thought it was, i thought it was just 1, 1 hour program a month.

  there's a s*** load of videos on that site.. and the real problem, from just watching a clip from each video, is that these guys are clearly "mentally unstable".

  Hang in there Stuck. I fear the day when I may face a judicial committee and face the fact that all of my friends and family will soon start shunning me, so I truly do have empathy for you. It must be very stressful. Good luck and please keep us posted. Are there any other "apostates" or ex-dubs in your area that you can meet up with?

  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?.

  So many here are in the same spot as you.     For myself the best advise is to take it slow.   Make well thought out deliberate decisions.    The Borg can hold your family as ransom.     I haven't been able to figure out how to beat them at this yet.   I would rather fake it for the time being then have my family torn away from me.     Regarding doubts, once I read CofC all of mine went away.   If there is a god, I thank him for Ray Franz.

  my wife is listening in today.

  i hear the speaker talking about "godless" people.

  they have not made a thorough investigation about creationism vs evolution.

  Adjustments.     You said most JWs are mentally ill or unstable.    That's a bunch of crap.      Just like someone who says that if you send your kid to a KH they will get molested.     Most JWs are brainwashed and some are mentally ill.
