i've heard many experiences about how jehovah answers the prayers of jw's - convention items about pioneers gas bills, car repairs, job opportunities.

now, if this is true, you are actually stating that god has directly intervened in your life.

taken action on your behalf.

JW's will readily tell you that people without faith are egotistical and selfish but how much more egocentric and self centred is it to claim that the creator of the universe is intervening in your daily life.

Similar to prayers at meal times - "thank you for providing this food especially considering you've left millions in dire poverty".

Crazy logic.

At the same time, he ignores the desperate prayers of abused children the world over for their abuse to stop.

How can you imply this and expect people to take you seriously?

Cart Witnessing On Their Wedding Day

by pale.emperor in

this photo is doing the rounds on jw inspirational on instagram.

although the brothers and sisters think this is "oh so amazing" and "so cool" it's actually very sad and quite shocking.

what, people cant even enjoy their wedding day without the cult invading their special day.

Making life and death/life altering decisions based on commands from someone you're not sure exists

straight from the off, i will say that i'm 100% atheist.

i have no faith.

however, it occurred to me while thinking back over my involvement with the jw religion and especially when i take into account personal and family situations where people have made life altering choices due to being jw's, just how crazy it really is.

jambon1

Yes new boy, they will.

But that's a persons prerogative based presumably on reality.

God is invisible. He probably doesn't exist.

Making life or death decisions based on an invisible non reality is beyond crazy in my opinion.

2017 Circuit Assembly: Lesbians at school demonstration

steve2: is there some way this can be presented so that it is crystal clear what was actually in the demonstrations and what was added?

i guess some will think it should be obvious - but this is where misunderstandings arise because we end up wrongly attributing something to jw organization that was never said.. circuit assembly theme: maintain love for jehovah!.

note to speaker: warmly encourage young ones to prove their friendship with jehovah by observing his commandments and defending his standards.

Likening it to smoking cigarettes.

I thought they counselled on 'illustrations being appropriate to the material'

What a big pile of horse shit.

"I've made a lifestyle choice to reject homosexuality"

Interesting that she's made this 'lifestyle choice' without obviously being a homosexual herself.

Unbelievable.

I wonder if it's so easy for a homosexual to make this 'lifestyle choice'.

Crass, inconsiderate, bigoted bastards.

Think about it; JW's when pinned down must be able to agree that they don't know 100% that their god is real. That is just fact. It's a whole way of life that is based on faith.

So, fair enough to make choices of morality or minor lifestyle choices. I can get that.

But when it comes to the bigger things; life/death, blood, shunning, etc. Well, do they ever factor in the thought - 'what if I'm wrong'?

Surely, it's a massive leap to base these BIG choices (many of which will profoundly effect others) on an invisible person who may not exist. You've not seen this person. You've not talked to him. You have absolutely no concrete proof that he is real. Yet, you'll make a life and death decision based on THAT?

Its absolutely crazy when you think about it.

Bat shit crazy.
