  Talking to support and contacts at WT HQ

  by Juan Viejo2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a story to share about my calls to wt ny hq this past week.

  i was quite surprised by the level of disinterest and lack of concern from the two contacts that i spoke to.

  rather than jumping right in and sharing my experience - and perhaps "poisoning the well," i'd like to read experiences of others on this forum who had the urge or need to call the wt contact number.. btw - mine was not an apostate rant or overly critical of the wt and was presented in a friendly and helpful way.

  Trying to play on people's fears.

  Sadly, it's the JWs that were afraid when "publishing" that article as they were the ones that had to make the presentations.

  That article was out just about the time I quit reporting time.

  Theocratic warfare [AKA Lying for the Truth]

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my elder brother made the mistake of telling me about the wts policy of theocratic warfare.

  he first called it 'lying for the truth' then he tried to tone it down to theocratic warfare.

  he justifies this position by citing the scriptures that say do not throw pearls to the swine for they will trample them under foot and tear you to pieces.. my question is .

  The watchtower is full of lies.

  Otherwise, Harm-you-gettin' would already have been here.

  In my area many older ones are dying. As many as 10 in the last two years and as many as 10 more could die ANYTIME.

  How are JWs coping with the FACT that the very ones that studied with them, that told them we'd never grow old, etc are dying before their eyes?

  Then add in JW'TV'ORG and all the major doctrinal changes. How long can they hold out?

  I was working the stage at an assembly day where we knew back stage before the baptism talk that there were no candidates.

  We thought nothing of it. Our only concern was for the "poor brother" giving the talk to no one.

  1200ish in attendance.

  long time lurker here.

  i don't want hate in our hearts - jw are wrong oh so wrong - and i want to blame this religion for making me cold and distant to the world.

  but i believe everything is meant to be, we all have purpose in this world.

  thank you very much. very nice post.

  I find myself imagining JWs watching these wild videos and thinking to themselves: "we must have the true religion".

  If they aren't, why are they still in. I must admit, my research into cults/mind control is sorely lacking.

  The Watchtower Society - a modern day Tower of Babel

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jw..org website now boasts that the jw message is translated into over 700 languages..

  a noble feat, you may think.

  and how wonderful that jehovahs message can reach the far ends of the world in so many languages!.

  I don't think the amazing number of languages available will do much. On any level.

  It's just something JWs like to brag about. Some sort of, "reaching the entire inhabited earth" boast. Membership retainment tactics.

  Flier on "Day and Week of Christ's Death" to be mailed out to Kingdom Halls this week!

  by CharlieSmith1975 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the tricky thing about a mass mailing to all the kingdom halls is that mail is often not delivered to the kingdom hall but to a po box.

  it is super easy to get all the addresses to hundreds of kingdom halls across the country and even have those addresses printed out for you as labels!

  but when i did that before i got about a third of them back.

  A perfectly faked letter from HQ is brilliant.

  Have them announce from the platform that the DFing policy is no longer!! Can you even imagine if the announcement was made and had to be corrected due to "apostate infiltration".

  OK, back to reality...

  Thanks for all of the replies.

  I just have to hope that there is a large number that know TTATT and are looking for the opportunity to exit.

  Curious, when we leave do our old friends ever "wonder why"? Or do they just chalk it up to Satan's power and go on without us forgetting we ever existed?
