Does paradise still seem attractive to you?
by Hiddenwindow indo you think paradise, as depicted by the watchtower, an everlasting life praising jehovah and playing with what we now know as wild animals, not to mention cultivating a piece of land, is really a desirable place?
bear in mind that there is no reference to science and that personal goals are non-existent..

NBC report and the WT insulting position
by Hiddenwindow init is a real shame that the wt acts this way, keeping things barely legal, reporting cases only when mandated by the aurthorities, while showing an obvious disregard for the victims.
it is deeply sad that jw children are being protected, not by the wt, but by the media and the so-called apostates, because it is only after the exposure that the wt has started to turn this into a real issue.
and, as said by others in this forum, they are still missing the point.

Are there any Bethelites or ex-Bethelites here?
by Hiddenwindow inif so, here is a question for you: what absurd rules do they have at bethel that do not apply to the rest of the witnesses?

Lying is okay
by Hiddenwindow inthere are several doctrinal explications in the wt literature about which the average jw is not aware.
one that has always puzzled me is the definition that the insight book gives to lying.
it explains that lying does not mean to provide false information, but that it means to give wrong information to whoever has the right to know.

Only a few are interested in the truth
by Hiddenwindow init occured to me that most jws, as many other religious people are not really looking for the truth; they are rather interested in certain degree of spiritual or emotional confort or at least the illusion of such confort that can be found in cults or religions.
truth inhabits the realm of the intelect, and the intelect is of little use to religious people.
what do you think?.

The spiritual bully
by Hiddenwindow inthe watch tower falsely claims that the entire international witness brotherhood holds to the same way of thinking on doctrinal matters; that all members in the congregation who are good christians deeply believe in whatever the faithful and discreet slave provides.
well, one thing is to pretend that you are in agreement with whatever is presented to you and something very different is to really believe in it.
it must be reminded that nowadays, in most mainstream religious groups, political parties or other forms of social groups, absolute uniformity in the way of thinking is not a prerequisite to join, because those groups recognize that such uniformity is not possible.

Does the Watch Tower get you through the night?
by Hiddenwindow ini have to insist on this.. a friend of mine, who is currently an elder (so am i, but will soon fade), once confessed to me that the most important thing for him is that his children grow drug-free, violence-free, and so forth (that type of thinking is, of course, the result of the wt indoctrination process, which divides the world in two: jw here and satan's people there).
in other words, for many witnesses the issue is not if this is the true religion or not; it is a matter of how do i get through the night?

A question for the apologists of the Watch Tower
by Hiddenwindow indear apologists of the wt:.
i do not mean to be sarcastic of ironic, but, please, if you are so kind, respond to this question.
how do you conciliate defending the watch tower on a forum like this with the fact that, as you perfectly know, such organization bans you (if you are still in) from being part of this type of forum and would even disfellowship you for instisting in being here?.
