Do You Think Many Jehovah’s Witnesses Truly Believe?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i did for many years even if i had doubts that i would put on the back burner.

but i thought the majority of witnesses believed, even if they were “weak” in the faith.. obviously, we have elders , pioneers and ministerial servants that are here and they are not true believers.. do you think many jws simply do not believe what they are preaching?

?.

If the way my still in JW family behaves totally hardcore is any indication, I'd say about 70 to 75 % still believe in the WT illusion. Any conversations I've had on the street with JW's at carts or random places when they try to preach at me- they always still seem totally deluded and under mind control. They have no critical thinking ability whatsoever. Like their brain neurotransmitters have been singed only to view things one way- the JW way. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Cults in our Midst

by Lee Elder in

this is related to a comment i made in a previous thread.

cults exist in many diverse parts of society.

this includes politics.

LEE ELDER- Excellent thread . I agree with this sociologist's views, very much so.

Trump is so controlling & dominating and uses fear and disinformation like cults do to control their followers. He does this not only to influence, indoctrinate and control his followers, he also uses this same method to control Senators within the Republican party. He has members of his own party under control and fear I believe. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Separating children at the border....

by mikeflood in

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".

SHIRLEY - Your statement is SO true - " That's what I've said here several times about the Drumpf supporters I've always said his blind followers would be excellent JWS. "

That's the point Shirley ! Some of Trumps followers WERE excellent JWS in the past - they've just switched their cult loyalties to the " cult of Trump " now. Went from one dominating, controlling , uncaring cult to another. Unfortunately for some folks it's a perfect fit, sadly. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

And STAR TREK ANGEL- Your views are right on the money. Very true. Peace out, Mr. Flipper
