  The Org is terrified of apostates

  by SecretSlaveClass in

  2. beliefs

  i knew apostasy was a serious concern for the org, but until i watched this video, i had no idea how afraid they actually were.

  all this guy wants is to do is not turn in his fs hours and immediately they (elders) set about drilling him about who are what influenced his decision, as if he was incapable of making his own (which as the elders confirm, in the org is highly discouraged).

  they are convinced he has been communicating with apostates or visiting apostate web sites.

  Fisherman said: Do you really think that the wts is concerned about anything at all?

  Have you seen their latest videos?

  They know people are going to leave over the pedophilia issue. They also need money because redress is coming... big time.

  Guardians of Doctrine.

  i'm still working my way through the videos..... this has probably been covered before but had anyone else ever heard them use this phrase before?

  not me... but it's a clever and as per usual misleading choice of words.. if they are indeed guardians of doctrine, they are very poor ones.

  if so jws would believe the same thing now that they did in 1879 and we all know that's not true.

  Excellent interview, Paul. I agree that removing the emotions and presenting hard facts and evidence is key to helping people who are mislead. My parents would often times get angry or snarky with me. I tried to remain calm in these situations and just continue with logical questions and statements. It showed who was being reasonable and who was not. Sometimes you can't convince them right off but it can help to at least plant seeds for them. It is their choice whether they wish to use those seeds to grow further.
  

  My advice to all young JW's is never get baptized. If you are to 'imitate Jesus' then wait until adulthood as he did. Luckily, my Mom believed the same. The teenage years are critical for children to develop their own identities. Baptism is unwise during this time. It was during this time period I began to doubt, not just JWs but all religion, the Bible, and God. If you don't get baptized, then you are not a formal, dedicated Jehovah's Witness, and therefore, you can't be disfellowshipped.
  

  As a teenager, I wasn't really aware of this legality to be honest. But I could not dedicate myself to a set of beliefs I did not agree with. So... I never got baptized. My parents did not shun me, although they did withdraw to a certain degree and they did treat me badly at times. But I think this was my saving grace in terms of being able to maintain a relationship with them.

  If jw's obeyed all of the bible commandments what would they be like?

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jw's cite abstaining from blood along with other cherry picked commandments.

  but then ignore the others.

  this is very hippocritical and if they are going to obey one commandment they should be obeying the rest.. just as a bit of fun then... what would jw's be like if they obeyed every rule in the bible?.

  Geoffrey Jackson's Golden Apple watch INVESTIGATED

  by C0ntr013r in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.

  the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .

  the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.

  4 versions of Jesus resurrection- all different

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been reading more and studying about the bible .

  it was brought to my notice that out of the four different versions of jesus resurrection they do not back each other up.

  instead they contradict each other a lot.

  The explanation that needs to be given is how a dead person can come back to life after being dead for 3 days.

  Hey PS... nope, I've not heard of it but then, I've not really been 'in' since I was a kid and back then, the GB were not as prevalent as they are today.

  I noticed another term GJ used was "Custodians of Doctrine". He said "They publish literature to help people".

  In my opinion, I don't think it's helping.

  okay, i know the royal commission hasn't started yet.

  but i'm confident enough that he will be telling some whoppers.

  so i thought i'd be the first to get a thread started for something that will begin... very soon now!.

  Vidiot said:Authoritarian leaders don't suffer from cognitive dissonance; they "compartmentalize"...

  ...it's how they can "know it's wrong" but "believe it's true" at the same time.

  Doh! Sounds like something psychotics do. Wikipedia states people with 'borderline personality disorder' use this.
