  Young JW's attitudes

  by Phizzy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i met an old friend last evening, a great guy, an xjw for longer than me.. during a conversation about our experiences since fading (neither of us are da'd or anything) we got to talking about the young jw's.. his wife is still in, and he has two lovely daughters who he is trying to teach the art of critical thinking so that they can make the right choice in the future.. what worries him though is that he is convinced almost all young jw's do not give a "proverbial" if it is the truth or not, they simply wish to remain in it because of the social aspects, loads of friends and activities that they feel safe partaking in etc etc.. so how do you convince these young people that they would have a better life if they left ?.

  they see it as losing all their friends, and being alone and trying to build new relationships, which is mostly true.. how do we convince them to make the leap ?.

  should they ?.

  I think it fast becomes all that they know. They are brought up to be ostracized from their 'worldly' peers - it's only natural that they will look inward to socialise with those that have shared similar experiences. What they believe is irrelevant really.

  Most disappointing. If you are going to troll you could at least put a bit of sport into it...

  Exactly, 4/10 at best.

  I don't think you understand anything I've said. I will NOT ACCEPT ANY BLOOD. THANK YOU NOW LEAVE ME ALONE

  you're the one who came on here spouting your nonsense. You didn't have to. Don't be surprised when you get challenged on it.

  I'm not sure why I'm bothering anyway, you're just trolling.

  I also happen to know someone who contracted aids by blood transfusion,

  Altogether ignoring the millions of peoples' lives that have been saved through a blood transfusion.

  And to imagine that you can contract 'aids' via a blood transfusion shows the frankly astounding level of your ignorance, not to mention the fact you're lying through your teeth.

  I would also suggest doing more reasearchours if you are at all interested. Also I strongly recommend anyone to learn about the Jesuits and the control they have on various levelse of our lives, including education and what we are purposely being kept away from. Like a lot of biblical evidence that we are restricted from and when someone takes an individual decision to study these places, some mainstream archeologists (oddly enough connected to some secret society) comes out and ridicules that "lowly" "inexperienced" "ignorant" archeologist or scientist. Just saying because our lives are in peril whether you belive in God or not. These demon possessed people do not care and we are all going to get it. But that's another subject.

  And these people walk among us folks.

  Mounded From Clay

  2. beliefs

  just sitting through this week's wt study and just spent 5 minutes listening to multiple answers where people are convinced that jehovah made humans from clay, literally forming adam like a sculpture then breathing life into him.. it's embarrassing to think i basically thought the same....

  My Refurbished Web Page

  i know that many here are no longer believers, but i also know that there are still some participating in this forum who consider themselves christians.

  i recently refurbished my web site extensively, and thought some of you might enjoy browsing it.

  some of my articles are aimed at exposing unbiblical teachings of the watchtower, and my video presentations on "darkness in the watchtower" and "the watchtower's mad science and bad medicine" have been particularly well received.

  Trolley cart "witnessing" is getting ridiculous

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i really fail to see how much actual "witnessing" is occurring with the trolley carts.publishers, usually pioneers, just stand or sit there not engaging anyone and count their time.. the only thing i notice that it's accomplishing is brand exposure for jw.0rg so the public is exposed to the logo and literature/poster card headlines.. take for example this "evening" witnessing by a pioneer elder while on summer holiday/vacation.. .

  is this not a wth kinda moment when you consider the years of slaving, knocking on doors, business territory and bible studies we had to keep performing so we weren't branded a "weak" publisher?.

  Why didn't they have this when I was in? Perfect for someone who doesn't like cold calling at people's doors or having to talk to someone!

  Thay's my thoughts too. Could have took a flask and a good book.
