  How Many JWs actually Watch JW.TV?

  by Oubliette in

  i'm curious.

  what do you know from your own experience and talking to other active jws?

  i know from my own informal, non-scientific survey that most jws do not watch jw.tv.

  Whenever I visit my parents, they have that dang-blasted JW channel blaring at all times, even when they are doing other things. It reminds me of a scene from 1984.

  The 1995 Generation Change

  by sloppyjoe2 in

  i was just a teenager and have a vivid memory of sitting in a chair doing a microphone for the sunday meeting.

  everyone was commenting that it didn't mean the end was far off, and it didn't change the condition of the dead, or the 144,000, or the trinity so we should still remain faithful.

  this is my first memory as a kid being just a teen that i ever had a single doubt.

  I remember the change, but mentally I was asleep at the wheel when this happened. I had just moved into my own place, was working my first real job, so mentally I was too excited to really contemplate these things. I wish a lightbulb had gone off then for me.

  5 years earlier I remember a pioneer who lived with my family (she converted in her teens) said, "What if the Society ever realizes the Generation is wrong?"

  I said, "That will never happen!"

  My father said, "It will still be the truth."

  The best convention ever!

  Isn't it a "sin" to say anything less?

  What started me on the path to waking up about the lies the WT teaches?

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was a simple question: isn't jesus my "mediator" if i put faith in him like the scriptures say?

  the research to that answer, from the w79 4/1 p. 31, was mind blowing.

  how dare they deny me a belief firmly stated in the scriptures?

  Index of acronyms : help for new forumers

  by Mary J Blige in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  am finding a whole lot of acronyms that are really foreign to me and i now have an appreciation for what cult language sounds like to non-culters.

  wondering please if you can post your definitions so i can get up to speed.

  otherwise, as an indoctrinated ex-culter, i am inclined to create my own new light and swiftly it will be gospel.

  Why Is This New Batch of Governing Body Members So Stupid?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well there are lots of reason for sure, denial, delusion, wishful thinking, ego maniac, infantile understanding of ancient writings, satanophobia, xenophobia, out of touch with reality, limited choices scrapping the bottom of the barrel,and many more.. listen to this ted talk and see if you can pick out something that helps explain why these guys are such ass holes:.

  organizations are often run according to the superchicken model, where the value is placed on star employees who outperform others.

  and yet, this isnt what drives the most high-achieving teams.

  I do have to wonder sometimes if there is something to the rumors that the GB are just figureheads and someone else is calling the shots.

  People like Morris, Lett, or Loche might be kept totally in the dark about issues like child abuse, and never make decisions about policy. I wonder if they want to change a teaching, if it can be overruled by the suits above them. Or if they merely give rubberstamp approval to doctrinal changes...just like a congergation rubberstamps the decisions of elders.

  A difficult yet necessary decision

  by Brother Jeramy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the past five weeks have been perhaps the most painful in my life as a witness.. some months ago a young man (i'd say in his late thirties or early forties) began attending meetings at my kingdom hall.

  he had just moved to my area from another state.

  he had disassociated himself from his home congregation many years back, when he was 20 years old and going through many of the typical trials and temptations most young men experience.. two of the elders met with him initially, and they later shared the details with the body of elders.
