Poster with basic math on shunning - for JW parents

by Fernando in

your thoughts on such a poster?.

(http://religions.pewforum.org/reports says: "jehovah's witnesses have the lowest retention rate of any religious tradition.

only 37% of all those who say they were raised as jehovah's witnesses still identify themselves as jehovah's witnesses.").

Fernando

Thank you all for the suggestions, improvements and valid observations.

Paul (JWFacts), I wonder how it might be possible to get the facts right as you have, and still be brief enough for a poster...

help! i'm lite on the lingo

by venting in

what is the borg?

what are dubs?

i know i'm forgetting some.

Fernando

Hey venting!

Just in case this is a serious OP...

Borg, I believe is a reference to the mindlessness and high control nature of the Watchtower ORGanisation, and a possible reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_%28Star_Trek%29 .

Dub I believe is short for "Jay Double You" or JW. Again a bit of a reference to the mindlessness imposed on the worshippers of the golden calf (the Watchtower bORGanisation and its website JW.org)

Have you had a crisis of concience?

my little boy has decided he wants to be a vegetarian and has been for over a year now.

i fully accepted and supported this.. my view however is no matter what you eat or how you eat it ....beings will die for you to eat.. i have noticed where we live we have the terms " free range" and " ecological".

if affordable i am sure most peoples preferrd option for their own health and the conditions of the animals.. i would say everyone has the right to eat what they want within reason.

Fernando

I'm becoming more conscious of healthy eating habits, if that counts.

CALVARY - the film

by BizzyBee in

jw
friends

just saw this today.

quite an experience.

the film raised many issues about clergy, religion, morality, guilt and forgiveness.. .

Fernando

Maybe we're in for many more related movies, now that society has finally chosen to question religion, and focus on the evil of: "childhood sexual abuse by a priest" (or "elder").

My wife has firsthand experience of such abuse, and is passionate about making an upbeat fictional movie, that showcases this and related issues, in a moving narrative.

144,000 New Light update

by goingthruthemotions in

i updated the list of partakers to 2013 (see below)...if i was to predict as to what new light might be coming down the borg poop shoot may be.

i would predict that they need to do something about the 144,000 being a literal number.. for two reasons:.

1. the number of partakers is increasing every year.

Fernando

There must at least be some uncanny power in the koolaid "mother" has "lovingly" prepared.

Otherwise how can one explain that almost anyone and everyone else can see that 144,000 is not a literal number, and that heaven and earth are included in the "one hope" of scripture?

My thinking exactly.

I'm hoping the message appeals to one of JWN's resident artists.
