  "Why I don't like people coming to my door, selling religion"

  by Captain Schmideo2 in

  this is from a blog, "news from me" that i read fairly regularly.

  mark evanier is, among other things, a comic book writer (co-writer for "groo-the wanderer), a television writer, a great raconteur, and was a close person friend of jack kirby, one of the world's greatest comic book artists.he got an email from a jw trying to explain why they come to his door.evanier's answer is well thought out, and should explain to even the densest j-dub why people really don't like being bothered.

  maybe his correspondent will take it to heart, but probably not.

  Good one Marvin.
  

  I watched my Father struggle with the belief that this is the one true religion against the reality that a known child molester was an active member of his congregation - now former congregation (the abuse took place back in the 1990s).

  As of the fall of 2010, this man was still a JW in my Dad's former congregation.

  At work, I stopped using the Standard and Daylight time designations in my documentation as I'd sometimes forget that we'd switched.

  Therefore, I now just document AT/ET/CT/PT... Atlantic Time/Eastern Time/Central Time/Pacific Time ... you can't go wrong. ;0)

  A couple questions for atheists on Suffering

  by little_Socrates in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  who told you that the world should be free from suffering?.

  do you find any value in suffering?.

  do you think it is possible to experience all the beauty and goodness and pleasure the world offers without also experiencing the bad?

  just saw this on the ex-jw subreddit.

  on opencharity.ca, you can view wtbs canada's financial info and in 2013 they received almost $9 million in donations.

  you can even see how much some congregations gave.

  Once I took over my Father's finances, the money ceased to flow from his wallet/bank account to Botchtower.

  As I go through his paperwork now, I am discovering just how much he has donated to this sham over the years... thousands of dollars!

  The Real History of Mormonism - Outstanding Lecture

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you think the mormon church is off-the-scale crazy you probably don't know the half of it.. the historical information in this talk by david fitzgerald is fascinating.

  the good news is that, just like the watchtower, their growth is being stunted by the internet.. grab a coffee and be amazed at just how gullible millions of people can be.. lucy harris has become my new heroine.

  don't miss the section from 8:50.

  Thanks for posting this cofty. Very informative.

  Good to know their founder was a fraudster. That's all one really needs to know. Everything flows from that. Runaway!

  Reports say he had COPD. My Mom had that... it's not pleasant especially if your lung capacity percentage is low.

  I loved his Mr. Spock character. Will miss him.

  Child Abuse must be getting out of hand if they're addressing it...

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm referring to the video that was uploaded where they finally mentioned the child abuse issue.

  we all kinda guessed that if they ever addressed it they'd blame it on the media and apostates.

  well, looks like we were spot on.

  Psychopaths have these types of traits... pathologically lying, blaming others, and not accepting responsibility.

  What exactly is encouragement?

  by naazira in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when elders want to meet with an inactive person to encourage them, what does this really mean?

  encouragement is a term thrown around by the organisation.

  does this encouragement usually consist of prying into the inactive one's lifestyle?.

  All cults have their own loaded language. They regularly take normal words and build their own meanings for them. In the case of the word encouragement, Botchtower's definition is far from the actual, real, and truthful meaning of that word.
