i hear that a hall was burned down in washington state.

was shot at numerous times.

is the wbts that desperate to merge congo's and collect insurance money and now the land has no building on it the land can be sold with no demo expense.

I think its more likely that an unstable person, ex JW or not, lit the place. Hell, it could be kids on drugs or a local homeless person trying to stay warm. The shots? Well who knows?

Counter Productive Witnessing Questions

by Vanderhoven7 in

a part of me would like to ask jws the following questions...but i know it would be rude and counter-productive.

so i also know i can expect some flack.. how well do you know your organization's history?

1. when, according to the wts did god promise to usher in a safe and secure new world order before those who witnessed the events of 1914 pass away?

The early WT truly was a loony bin. Yes, good questions. I think they are better read than spoken and better at preventing converts than deprogramming JW's in a cold conversation. But, who knows? Give it a go when it feels right. I encourage all first time readers here to look up the source of the answers to said questions for their own knowledge, its worth the effort.

The latest prophetic prediction! You heard it here first

by stuckinarut2 in

ok, so it’s not a jw prophetic prediction, but one from our “cousins” the mormons (or as the latest president of their church russel m nelson prefers ‘the church of jesus christ of latter day saints’).

i reckon they will drop their ban on caffeine soon.

they will change their long held beliefs about tea and coffee being wrong.. watch this space!

A Mormon woman I spoke to one time said she had the true religion be cause she had a testimony from God that it was the truth. Her testimony? She had 8 children. God gave them to her so she would know it was the truth. What about the members that are sterile? They are on their own, literally. What a dumb ass religion.

Arson of K.H's in Washington State getting a lot of news coverage..

felt terrible then i realized we are not to believe reputable media outlets.

because the reports must be apostate driven lies.

i was driving along through a quiet neighborhood on a saturday morning ( yesterday )and , looky-looky, two dubs.i recognized one of them, complete asshole, exbethelite, can i say his name?it's not important.i rolled up, downed the window and "hey!

"they spun around and i continued, "what are you going to do about all those pedophile lawsuits all over the world?

the two witness rule is wrong and so are you!

Wasanelder Once

They "spun around" because you made yourself heard over the engine, or was it your accusatory tone? lol Hey, yell all you like but don't expect everyone to support it. Kinda silly really. It seems you yelling was for you not them. Public shaming is what DFing is for.

Two witness rule: who cares?

by _Morpheus in

i find people railing against the so called “two witness rule” puzzling.

i think its a complete and total non issue.

for those that protest, argue or advocate for change in that rule, why?

Wasanelder Once

You're killing me Morpheus. Really? Too funny. The two witness rule is the curtain the pedos hide behind allowing institutionalized abuse to fester.

My story

by Leeny in

i came across this website when i was looking for some emotional/mental support lately as i was summoned by elders to explain someone’s report on me saying “i’m promoting homosexuality”.

i’m inactive, not attending meetings or associating with jw outside of my biological family for almost 2 years now.. yes i am gay (you can judge away) and yes it is in a direct contrast to the scriptures, no arguement about it.. i was brought up in a jw family.

my dad is a typical zealot, he literally talks or thinks about the bible 24/7.

If they didn't baptize little girls you wouldn't have this problem it seems. Good luck and welcome.

This part of life is so hard to accept. May good thoughts of your sister surround and comfort both you and her immediate family.

https://youtu.be/rkens1c7fsg many sda church members unions and conferences are having issues with their general conference which has set up five compliance committees to regulate church entities.

some of the areas the general conference are concerned about are the ordination of women and the general wants to stop more women from being ordained also their are issues with church doctrine homosexuality.

this video is in response to a fight back by a large majority of members 40% wanted womens ordination.
