  I miss Moshe.

  He left several years ago.

  Not sure what's happened with him since.

  if jw wants to know the truth about the truth, what will you talk about first?

  You won't be successful with a one size fits all approach.

  Things that were big to me might not affect them at all.

  Things that I didn't care about might be what troubles them the most.

  So I'd start out by letting let their questions and concerns establish the agenda.

  Occasionally it might be necessary to try to expand their area of inquiry, but this should be done in bite sizes rather than by trying to lay everything on them at once.

  How you go about it may differ depending on specifics.

  What specifically do you want them to see that they don't see now?

  Is it differences between WT doctrine and the Bible?

  WT doctrinal flip flops?

  WT false prophecies?

  WT covering up of pedophilia?

  Other?

  How on earth can WT lawyers continue to believe WT has God’s backing, when they see all the deception play out in Court.

  here is a post on reddit from mark and kimmy o’ donnell, from the crusaders documentary,.

  ask us anything.. mr. o'donnell gives his assessment of why wt lawyers continue to defend the child sex abuse cases that the organization continues to fight, even though they see firsthand the deception, the lies, the withholding of facts and dirty tactics used in court.

  by an organization that claims to be god's earthly representative, and the only one to hold the truth.

  If they are JWs, they probably think of it as theocratic war strategy.

  After all, if they're JWs, they've bought into the claim that the WTS is God's organization and that the "faithful and discreet slave" speaks for Jehovah.

  And given how the organization discourages higher education, I wonder how many of their lawyers are JWs and how many are non-JW lawyers just representing a client.

  How would you respond?

  if you tell a jw that he or she is in a cult and they asked you why do you say that?

  how would you respond?.

  If you tell JWs point blank that they are in a cult, they will label you a persecutor or apostate and have no further dealings with you.

  When you think about it, does anyone respond favorably to being told their religion is a cult?

  Need help...Resurrection JW beliefs from the 50'6 and 60's.

  by Snoozy in

  was talking with a gal that is most likely going back to the religion after 20 or 30 years.

  we got into a discussion about having babies after "armageddon ".

  she was talking about being normal ( she is practically bedridden but only in her 50's.

  Did You Think The Majority of Elders Were “Qualified “?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my opinion, in a body of elders let’s say with 7 elders , 2 or 3 were pretty much on the ball.

  they were reasonable, intelligent and moderate.

  the others were either extremely extreme about everything or very liberal.. did you have qualified older men or were they all lousy to you?

  If by "qualified" you mean "company men," all the elders I knew met that qualification.

  A few of them did eventually wake up, though.

  Would the problem be resolved if the site had some sort of filter when you could list the types of topics you do or don't want to see?
