  Why Jehovah Does Not Want An Effective Preaching Work

  by konceptual99 in

  so we all know how ineffectual the preaching work really is.

  we also know how much the wts hypes up the scope and scale of the global preaching effort.

  what the gb should be doing however is emphasising the ineffectiveness of the preaching work.

  So JWs have been preaching for quite a long time now, why have they still not preached to these people?

  We're not trying to convert you

  by jws in

  recently i saw a link to an article from the st. petersburg times (one of these links on the side of this forum to sometimes old articles).

  it was an article about jws and their preaching work.

  imo, middle to favorable.. but the one thing was from a door where the jws are saying they're not here to convert anyone, they just want to share a scripture.. what sort of bs is this?

  Of course they are recruiting.

  They call it 'life saving work' and believe if you don't sign up, you are very likely going to die at Armageddon meaning no magical 'living forever on Paradise Earth' prize. In other words, you HAVE to be a JW AND preach for Jehovah in order to gain eternal life.

  Jehovah's Witnesses - People of Integrity

  by Saved_JW in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i think of integrity, a lot of positive connotations come to mind.

  i think of individuals grounded in principles, who do not operate on opinions that change based on the breeze of political or social change.

  a life that is directed by a code of morality, not on capricious emotions.

  My personal experience was that my parent's integrity diminished when they decided to dedicate themselves to Jehovah. Elevating themselves to one of God's Chosen, gave them the mythological right to become self-righteous, holier-that-thou, mean-spirited a-holes. Our family was irreparably damaged because of this.

  Islam is the Epitome of Misogyny

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  in this video the popular saudi cleric sheik yahya al-jana discusses the joys of paradise, saying that men will have the strength of a hundred men in paradise and will be busy tearing hymens, while the virgins of paradise, whose breasts are like pomegranates, become virgins every time again.. the cleric also explains it is mostly men who enter paradise noting that women in general are bad because they refuse to wear the veil, they wear tight clothes in shopping malls, put on perfume and jewelry, and use filthy social media platforms.

  source.... this is what young men from conservative muslim families are raised on.

  is it any wonder islamic countries treat women appallingly?.

  I'm-a just duck to the side here then.

  Oubliette said: Seriously, these nutty religious ideas clearly make no sense and defy even basic logic. I suppose either Mohammed was either bad at math and logical thinking or he knew that most humans are or both.

  Yes very true. Religion and faith require you to leave reason and logic behind. Facts and reality seem to constantly contradict these groups. I was a teenager doing the math on the JW 'we preach to all the inhabited Earth'. There is no way the number of JWs on the Earth can service the population of this planet going door-to-door. There was no interwebs back in my youth. Even today, there are a lot of people on the Earth with no interwebs.

  Witnesses - Ever Wondered Why You're So Tired After Assemblies/Meetings?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently shared this with me.. they compared the tiredness they felt after attending an assembly and meetings, and noted how much worse it was than actually working and studying hard for hours for their secular employment!

  why were they so exhausted after an assembly/meeting?

  no, it wasn't satan.

  VI: So, a little bit of logic here. Most women don't make it to Paradise but there's a hundred for every man?

  Oubliette: It makes perfect sense. Most women do NOT make it, and obviously only 100th of the men do!

  But this is contradictory to what the prophet Mohammed/Muhammad (however you spell it) said about most of the dwellers in Hell being women. Is there somewhere different that the men are going besides Paradise or Hell?

  Mandatory Reporters of Child Abuse

  by Dissonant15 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  all states in the us mandate health care workers and teachers to report suspected child abuse to law enforcement.

  this year our commonwealth expanded the law to include clergy, and to include a mandatory two hour training on what to look for and how to report, required for all mandatory reporters.. my coworker at the hospital said she and her husband did the training together, because her husband volunteers in the sunday school at the church, they required him to take it too.

  i asked several witnesses when this law came into effect if all the elders and ms are going to be taking the training and everyone looked at me like i was an alien and they had no idea what the heck i was talking about.

  The Borg have already stated they feel child abuse is a sin not a crime and therefore, won't report it unless mandated to do so. They hide behind a scripture that states don't take your neighbour to court.
  

  If they can fly under the radar on this, they will. It's all about 'not dragging Jehovah's name through the mud' which is just a cop out to not take action as this will cost them time and money. They care nothing for the membership, particularly the women and children.

  the number of pyramids in the world just keep going up and up.

  an egyptoligist thinks using satellite scanning technology he has found the remnants of another 17 pyramids in the egypt.

  in central and south american they keep finding more pyramids and in java a couple of years ago they surmised that the riuns their was actually a step pyramid possible the oldest in the world.
