Why would anyone want to join jovie world?

by Doltologist in

i can understand why someone who was born of jovie parents would want to leave jovie world.

i can see why someone who had joined jovie world would want to leave.

after all, why would you want to stay in such an evil institution?.

Same reason why anyone would join a cult or even vote UKIP............

Simple answers to complex questions

Psychological hot buttons being pressed

Feeling of knowing something others don't / superiority over others

Sense of belonging

Our hall is asking for money...

by thedepressedsoul in

i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.

we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.

it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

The Reason Why Jehovah's Witnesses Will Never Prosper Is The Children

i believe that the religion will remain stagnant due to their achilles heel, the kids, the children, that next generation.. most of them really don't wa t to be in the religion.

the parents may have tried everything within their power to make the kids love jehovah but we all know you can't force someone to love you and you can't make a grown person stay in a relationship or situation if they really don't want to be there..

Many children of JW's may go through a phase of not wanting it, but they still stay, even if they don't entirely believe it, because it becomes their way of life, their social life, their normal paradigm.

How many of you think.......

by punkofnice in

..that the governing body are only in it for money and power?.

how many of you think the gb are all/some are sincere?.

okay, i know this has been asked before but i can't find the thread and there are newbies here.....and i like the sound of my own voice.

Comfy, cozy life and adulation. I don't think they get a great deal of money per se. I still think the real power is with the heads at the legal department.

So I overheard a discussion that my son and wife were having about creation yesterday

by My Name is of No Consequence in

so i am getting ready for bed yesterday night and i overhear my teenage son and wife talking about how the evidence of creation far outweighs the evidence of evolution.

i heard my son say that evolution has so many holes and how could something happen from nothing.

i wanted to open the door and ask them both how the creator happened from nothing just to see what they would say..

MNIONC Educate yourself on evolution. The evidence is overwhelming, whereas there is no evidence of a supernatural force. Once you understand the theory why you will be able see the logical fallacies behind the Watchtower and other fundamentalist arguments.

Help with understanding

by Doltologist in

please take pity on me someone and help.. i was going to say that i suffer from aspergers syndrome but actually, i've come to rather enjoy it.. no, seriously, i really do have aspergers which is why my posts may seem a little odd to some of you.

ok, they may seem bloody odd to most of you.. my world exists in a binary frame.

things are or they are not.. i know that in the "real world" things might be or might not be as well as are and are not.
