  Flipper:

  You hit the nail on the head. Don't ever sit back and wait on Uncle Sam to come helping. We need to address this as individual communities.

  Are they clones?

  by cookiemaster in

  anyone else notice this about jw public speakers.

  they all seem like clones.

  they have the same mannerisms, try to use the same style of speaking, similar jokes, etc.

  Here at Westworld we prefer the term "Hosts" over "Clones".

  Zeb, I second your observation of the WTBS horrible sense of grammar.

  In a free society a government has only 2 functions - 1. National defense and 2. Provide a justice system for those wronged criminally or civilly. All other matters of daily life should be run by the people and a free market.

  Upcoming Tidal Wave of Media Onslaught targeting Jehovah's Witnesses ahead...

  by TerryWalstrom in

  2. scandals

  at least three media venues have undertaken the daunting task of unpacking the insidious dark side of jehovah's witnesses' organization.1.

  douglas quenqua is a writer based in new york.

  his work has appeared in the new york times, wired, redbook, and cnbc.

  It's not some much that "there is no organization more deserving" as much as it is well overdue. It's time. It's time that the whole world and all the people of it be educated on what this organization is really all about. It's time for all the dark places and the places made secret be exposed.

  I have no doubt that all of this has little effect on those who are currently Jehovah's Witnesses. It is my hope that those who are not Witnesses be educated in what the organization is all about and assist them in rejecting this horrible religion. It is my hope that, in my lifetime, not one person gives any Witness the time of day when it comes to their message. That every minute spent knocking on doors, going house to house, "street witnessing", and "informal witnessing" is a minute completely wasted which in turns yields zero results. I want Witnesses to get to the point that they are so dejected by the fact that everyone refuses to listen to a word they have to say that each and ever Witness questions why they even bother to participate.

  Dutch government look for possibility to revoke JW charity status (=tax breaks) after JW refuse independent investigation re. abuse

  by Anders Andersen in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  well, the title says it all.

  the dutch government will look into the possibility to revoke the charity status of jw after they refused to cooperate in the child abuse scandal.. the government urged the jw to start an independent investigation into the jw child abuse issues, and after some stalling the jw flatout refused.

  unfortunately the government can't really force them.. the chance that the charity status is actually revoked is very small as there appears to be no legal basis to do so, but right now the government and house of representatives are very annoyed with jw.. and in the meantime the da will continue their investigation based on the victims officially reporting abuse to the police..

  The glass prison

  by Normalfulla in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  cognitive dissonance.

  a term i came to learn about after waking up as i'm sure many of us here did.

  i was thinking of how this condition is similar to the proverbial glass prison, how jw are unknowingly confined by the walls of their belief while observing life around them but are truly captives to a concept as ray put it.. .

  I wonder how well he would take it if you said there is no evidence outside the Bible that Jesus even existed as written in the Bible?

  The worst prisons are the ones with no walls. That's definitely the life of a JW.

  God is going to kill all of his unbelieving children at Armageddon

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws are taught to think in a childish, simplistic and paranoid way.. the ticket to paradise includes a gory bloodfest of unimaginable proportions.

  and jws calmly and unquestioningly trust and even look forward to this happening.. what about the morality of this unprecedented solution to mankind’s problems?

  (there is evidence in the earth’s crust that noah’s flood never happened so it doesn’t count as a precedent).. sweep all of your problems under the biblical carpet and you know that god will sort it all out by the ultimate act of near total genocide—or not!

  Here in lies one of the greatest paradoxes of the Christian faith.

  The Almighty creates humans with freewill. They are free moral agents. However, if they chose not to worship him they are to be executed.

  Furthermore, the Almighty of the Christian faith "is love". He is supposed to be the personification of love. Yet, we see how unloving he is with his death sentence for non-believers.

  The Christian god is supposedly not above his own laws. That is why we are supposedly having this whole testing period due to the challenge of Satan. Yet, when Jesus comes to Earth he tells his followers that we are to love our enemies in following his example. How can you simultaneously love your enemies while destroying them for simply not believing in you?

  They won't be honest enough with you to tell you the truth. The truth is they don't care about you. They just want to find out where you stand. They are going to force your hand and ask "Are you in or are you out?"

  If you are not ready to completely cut ties, be disfellowshipped, or marked you should come up with something elaborate and make it believable. Be ready to give an Academy Award level performance to sell your story.

  You best be ready to sell that you -

  1. Love Jehovah

  2. Love Jehovah's organization
