  Watchtower followers are not allowed to talk (pray) to Jesus.

  More than half the Bible's ±152 references to the "good news" (about Jesus) are by Paul, in the books Romans through to Hebrews.

  Ask any Watchtower religionist to explain the "good news according to Paul" from scripture, and from the heart. You will observe it has been DELETED from their minds, hearts and lips.

  Going back to a Kingdom Hall

  part of my 'rebirth' after my leaving jws was to rediscover and undo the 38 missing years of my love of music.. before i was baptised i was playing a trumpet in bands and orchestras... then came the empty years (we all know the stories).. long story short, i relearned my instrument through a music school.

  from there i joined a brass band, but recently we moved house and it was some way from the band i played in.

  so, i searched for a new band and found one more local to me... they even have their own band room.

  It's been a considerable "rebirth" for us too after decades of being dumbed down and held captive spiritually.

  It may take a while yet to get over the feeling of horror when driving past a KH loaded with hypocrital clergy and blind laity spiritually fornicating with the "god of religion" in the name of the "god of Abraham".

  Searching the WT CD in this fashion is unauthorised and frowned on by the ruling religious GB for good reason.

  The wrong fragments could start coming together and create a picture the R&F are not meant to see.

  They could be activated as loathsome "mentally diseased" "conscientious objectors" who probably already outnumber GB followers.

  the jehovah's witnesses will make fun of this, and then 20 years from now, will be doing the same thing.

  Religion in decline means we must thankfully be approaching its extinction - "freedom from religion".

  This would be great since it has been an appalling failure in connecting us to God, faith and spirituality - quite the opposite - a little arsenic (religion) spoils all the honey (faith & spirituality). It is no accident that it is near impossible to find a single Christian/Jew/Muslim that can explain (from the heart) what the gospel/bissar/injeel is in one word, and one sentence! The blind leading the blind.

  We are now seeing the Mormon adverts (mentioned at the end of the video) on TV in Australia.

  viewing porn makes you demonised!

  by highdose in

  2. beliefs

  or so claims every jw i've ever met.

  porn also makes you turn into a sexual deviant who is likely to become a homosexual, rapist or peadofile.. .

  porn has specail powers that once viewed allows the demons to get into your mind and start controling it!!.

  On a more serious note for just a second - religion is spiritual porn, and it is demonic.

  No wonder reading the Watchtower leads to supremacist self-righteous behaviour and worse.

  Google predicts search - Jehovah's Witnesses mentally diseased

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  have others noticed that if you enter "jehovah's witnesses" into a google search that the first alternative it predicts is "jehovah's witnesses mentally diseased"?.

  i use firefox and am in the uk, if that makes a difference.. does that mean that "jehovah's witnesses mentally diseased" is currently the most popular jw related search?

  if so i wonder how many of those searches are by jehovah's witnesses prompted by media exposure of the issue?.

  jehovahs witnesses mentally diseased

  Above search with no apostrophe (jehovah's) just reported 1,270,000 hits on Google (from Queensland, Australia, with Firefox). Mentally diseased came up in a list of 4 predicted searches when I reached the "m".

  Seems to have gone viral. Just goes to show what strategy, careful wording and one well placed article can do. Very encouraging. Maybe we should write an article about this article - or similar.

  Great job Cedars (if memory serves correctly).

  so, we were brought up in/enticed into an organisation that we believed was a spiritual paradise.

  everyone appearing to be better than the world around them.

  my experience was of youngsters leading double lives, partying hard like the best of the world.

  When you whitewash a grave it can be a little difficult to tell just how rotten it is inside. By their fruits you will recognise them: supremacist, self-righteous, deceitful, envious, boastful, self-centred, self-serving, self-preserving, ignorant, prejudiced, venomous, judgmental, legalistic, moralistic, ethnocentric, Gnostic and more...
