  The urban legends we heard as JWs!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. experiences

  how often have we heard some sort of sensationalist urban legend as jws?.

  here is an example i was told as a kid:.

  the experience of a sister who knocked on a door and was greeted by a big fierce looking man- intimidating and mean.

  Its ironic Snare&araket that witnesses are taught demons would be so interested in young JW's while many who are elders actually abuse them.

  Drop Off in Mentioning 1914

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  videos from the summer jw conventions ("be courageous) show the "urgency" about the end racheted up several notches.

  paranoia rules supreme!.

  curiously, though, very few, if any, statements in the convention program about 1914 and the overlapping generations.

  I think the GB have cognitive dissonance in regards to 1914. They will always hold it dear, bronze it and stick it on the mantle in the Bethel Library.

  i think it’s ridiculous to kick people and families out of a restaurant because of politics.

  Are we losing our way a bit at JWN?

  by nicolaou in

  2. suggestions

  firstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.

  it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.

  i am not bashing jwn - i love this place and appreciate the hard work and expense simon puts in to keep it going.

  All these political topics become non productive pissing contests. I'm done with them.

  Since Democrats Are All About the “Children” why does ABORTION Not Bother Them?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if everything is supposed to be about the lives of children, how can they hypocritically fight to take babies and kill them?

  what about the children and their quality of life?.

  A woman I know had 10 abortions in her youth. When she settled down to have a family she had one premature baby that died after 20 days and a second premature girl who barely made it, weighing in at under three pounds. She is now sick with guilt. Honestly, those children born at that time would have been drug babies with shit lives. I don't hold it against her. She is a good mother now, over 49 years later. Call it what you want but it wasn't MY choice to make.

  Image: Great Tribulation

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the org's fear theme has really been emphasized recently- the bunker video and now the convention video with jws being pursued by guys with assault rifles.

  this image comes from the watchtower july 2017 questions from readers: would it be fitting for a christian to keep a firearm, such as a handgun or a rifle, for protection against other humans?.

  the caption for the image is this: during the great tribulation, christians will rely on jehovah and not try to defend themselves.

  I am assuming the muzzle flashes are flashlights. I suppose its no coincidence they could be mistaken as the rifle firing. Sneaky WT artists.

  2. experiences

  i live in the des moines iowa area , i would be interested in doing a kingdom hall crash after watching some on youtube, i would love to do that with a group of people.

  i haven't meet any other ex jw around here.

  i was never baptized, i always knew i could never live up to jehovah's standard so i never did even consider baptizing.

  No one likes to be told they are stupid or being misled in public. Keep it on the down-low and talk to friends who will listen. Anyone you do not know will think you are a whack job apostate.

  Helping my husband wake up, need advice.

  by Whynot in

  2. beliefs

  my husband is dfed but he is a prime example of someone who was a puppet for the watchtower.

  i was able to wake him a little with the sex abuse scandal.

  he was an elder and is very familiar with those rules.

  Separating children at the border....

  by mikeflood in

  1. social
  2. current

  i mean, the law about separating children from their fathers crossing southern us border have been in the books since before obama's era.

  the thing is that enforcing that law it has become a public relations disaster for the trump administration.

  there's also to much animosity in latin america too, remember the classic agitator "u.s. is the evil empire that treat us badly just to see always their own interests".

  Oh God, not Pancho Rodriguez Nunez! I hadn't heard. His father is my wife's second cousin's third wife's daughters brother-in laws love child. Wait, its Pedro not Pancho I'm thinking of. My Bad. Look guys, there is no resolution to be had on here. I think public opinion will rule out. We'll wait and see.
