Why dont practicing JWS cant accept the fact that the Watchtower Corporation is a commercialized false prophet ?

by Finkelstein in

to the majority of people who investigate the activities of the wts from its beginning history there were obvious false proclamations and doctrines propagated by the wts.. a matter of fact the wts produced a long list of literature that posted proclamations on the front cover and went into detail of things that were suppose to happen, from jesus returning changing the world in which we live and so on.. wonderful things one might say but not factual or either theologically correct .

"...who investigate the activities of the WTS...." jw's are not allowed to truly investigate anything about the org even the early history. They accept the revisionist water downed version put out by the org itself.

If one is told certain things about the history they can simply go to the elder and he will tell you that 'mistakes' were made, human error, etc.... the jw can merrily go on their way satisfied that the wt has done all the homework needed and any mistakes were not that bad anyway. The mistakes didn't really impact peoples lives in a negative way and so on. I know this because that is exactly how it went down in my house when my jw joined up and I tried to tell him about the wt. From the early history, doctrinal, procedures, you name it I tried to tell him. The elders had an answer for everything and could just lump me in with satan trying to sabotage his 'relationship' with jah. ah, you know the story......

jw's by and large are an intellectually lazy lot, in my opinion.

getting in..

by zeb in

the things that asks for street sign or cars takes longer than it ever did and the pictures do a slow fade to come on and then it does it again.. its a pain this never happened before.. surely once is enough to prove i am not a robot..

carla

Yes! the captcha code seems to be working in slow motion and even if you get all the 'cars' (or whatever) it might say that you failed and try again with street signs, ugh.

What Makes Someone Become a JW?

by minimus in

jw
friends

my excuse is that i was born in the religion.

but if someone wasn’t, why would they become one?.

carla

I think mine joined up due to extreme fear of death. Naturally he would deny it and say they have the 'truth'.

There is no 'death' in normal terms for a jw. Simply sleep and then jah clones you and there you are in a spiritual paradise with pandas and tigers in your front yard and you are happified because you no longer remember your ungodly wife, parents or children who rejected your religion. Yeah, give me some of that! sounds like hell to me.

So my PIMO Younger Brother Tried To Kill Himself Today

by pale.emperor in

we all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.

he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.

he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.

carla

I'm so sorry, wishing him all the best.

Stop harassing jws

by pomo6780 in

we want people to learn ttatt.

we have numerous resources online to draw jws in so that they will wake up.

however, i've noted some radical methods that have been used by fellow exjws, and quite frankly, this must stop.

carla

The day jw's stop harassing people at their doors, on the streets, train stations, cruising obituary notices, etc... and leave the rest of us the hell alone and quit sexually abusing their children, sending pedophiles to knock on our doors, allow the members to decide for themselves if they choose to live or die by blood or lack thereof, stop the ungodly shunning family destroying policies, generally go away into the backround of life, then and only then will people leave the jw's alone.

Once again the jw's ask what they are not willing to do themselves.

The most pressing question on people's minds? Watchtower artwork & Paul's Baldness!!!

by doubtfull1799 in

with hundreds, if not thousands, of letters being sent in to the society asking for answers re their child abuse policies and poorly supported doctrines, what does the watchtower decide is the most important question from readers to answer this month?

why is paul always depicted as bald apparently!.

???????

carla

Oh Punk, no! the wt will never have articles about those subjects, why?

Swiss - the Tasty Cheese with Holes in it- can't do that because it is Holy.

Tree frogs- nope, the serpent also was in a tree therefore trees and things that crawl in them must be evil

Loose Bowels? - just go out in service more

The Mighty Carrot- is evil due to it's phalic shape, real Christians don't eat carrots don'tchya know?

Come on now, how long were you a jw? even I know those!
