  It's now 80 people dead plus the terrorist. That's 80 people too many. So sad, especially the children. God I hate religion for all the child sacrifices.

  Kids continue to leave in droves - so what is the organization's grand plan? This

  jws have one of the worst, if not the worst, retention rates among their kids.

  i've seen numbers from 65% to 88% who leave, never to return.. you'd think this would be a priority amongst the leadership, right?

  where do tomorrow's leaders come from, if the vast majority of kids leave the organization?

  What do JW children really think of the JW religion? A few years back I was having dinner with a JW family who were in the process of exiting the religion. After dinner the parents told their children that they were no longer going to the meetings. 7 year-old daughter expresses her feelings:

  "Good. I hate going to the meetings. Does this mean I can join the [local] netball team?"

  Child is now a very, very, very talented and aggresive netball player. She tears the court up.

  as the title says--i'm out of here for good.. the site is full of atheists, communists, 7th day adventists, creationists, believers, deceivers, receivers, football supporters,.

  dodgy types, cantleave---and assorted wankers.. so no place for me--because i'm none of the above so dont fit in.

  so--this is goodbye forever my friends--its been almost average knowing you.

  Study article: "Go, and Make Disciples.." is a hot mess

  by Sanchy in

  so i hooked into meeting via phone this week to listen in and was shocked at the absurdities mentioned in the study article (2016 may watchtower: "go,..and make disciples of people of all the nations").

  the answer is obvious—only jehovah’s witnesses.

  the answer the missionary priest gave in no way proves that jws are the only ones "preaching the good news".

  Without the preaching and teaching activities of Christendom over the centuries there would be no Bible and no manuscripts with which the JWs used to base their version of Christianity on. No Christendom = No Bible.

  The United Nations actually responds when the Jehovah's Witnesses cry out for help and protection from religious persecution. This of course only occurs after the JWs have prayed to Jehovah, through Jesus, for help and received no reply.

  AWAKE! NO. 5 2016 - Did Jesus Really Exist?

  by ttdtt in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so again we go to the quality of evidence used by the wt.. you can read the article here - https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/awake-no5-2016-october/did-jesus-really-exist/.

  you see the wt refer to experts with quotes.

  as is usually the case the credentials are not represented, just that they are experts (so take their word).

  I wonder why they didn't quote from the 19th century writings of Charles Taze Russell. He believed there was enough evidence to support the existence of Jesus and wrote volumes about it.

  Oh that's right ... Russell founded a religious book publishing cult who's teachings are contrary to what the JWs currently believe.

  i read this comment posted on a news site: .

  if the police show up at the kingdom hall looking for a sexual predator, the elders will escort them out an emergency exist and tell them to "hide out until the coast is clear.".

  is this true, is there printed instructions to support it?

  ^^ NOT TRUE ^^

  If the police show up at the Kingdom Hall looking for a [member of the Governing Body of Jrhovah's Witnesses guilty of failing to report a] sexual predator, the elders will escort them out an emergency exist and tell them to "hide out until the coast is clear."

  WoMD ... so where are they?

  now, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!

  perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.

  now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.

  Should Tony Blair be charged with war crimes?

  Maybe they should put Blair in charge of Britain's exit from the EU. The Blair Which Project.

  For what it's worth I'd say Blair lacked the intelligence needed to make the correct decision.

  After the next court hearing later this month, and a review of the actions of Watchtower, if they have still not complied then the court has the powers to increase the monetary sanctions. At this time a formal complaints campaign needs to be launched in the USA for the 501(c) charity status of Watchtower to be revoked.

  It's all in the preconditioned JW mindset.

  You are a JW rank-and-file publisher and there is a knock on the door. It's three elders who want to discipline (punish) you for not reporting the wrongdoing of a JW to the elders = religious freedom.
