  Just a youtube comment on JW's and how they are users.

  i was watching a youtube about "sovereign citizens" - the ones that quote confederate law and say they don't need a driving license because they are just "traveling" the man who was pulled over for having the wrong license plates on his car and then refusing to hand over any id, eventually was encouraged out of his vehicle by a police dog.. in the comments below was this:.

  even dumber is the sovereign citizen shit is up here in canada... the most liberal country in north america...these guys just want a free ride.

  not only that but certain religious groups also like to pull this... jehova's witness reformed mormon groups, branch davidians and others all claim to not be a citizen of usa or canada... but continue to use our services.. fringe groups of all types are not really desirable... and potential dangerous.

  I couldn't tell if the poster was an ex jw or they didn't like religion in general. But I do know of Jw's that have skirted the law in business.

I would agree that much of US media is biassed one way or another... but some other nations have more objective reporting... The USA has a long history of yellow journalism and other stuff... so yep. You will never see a newspaper in Canada endorsing a political candidate... it doesn't happen here.

  
  

  Being lumped into the Sovereign Citizen's group I think is appropriate. I remember talks about taxes and why we should pay them. (guess some people didn't) Yet the WT gets away with being a "Charity Status" The Sovereigners should take a lesson from the WT and declare themselves "traveling ministers"

  Anti vaccines

  by blisterfeet in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i personally feel that vaccinations are beneficial.

  there has been a modern movement that vaccinations are more harmful than beneficial to which i disagree.

  what is your stance as an ex jw on vaccinating your children?

  The JW lady at work is anti vac but she doesn't have children. I got the sugar cube with the polio vac when I was in school. And supposedly, Europe has better vacs than the USA because they aren't afraid of people suing the companies like they are in america.

  Until I watched a show on small pox and how it can even make pustules in the lining of your brain, I didn't think of it as worse than the chicken pox. It's a painful and horrible way to die and if people refused to take the vacs for it, we would still have people dying of it in mass.

  I said as much to the JW lady at work.

  I like the painted backdrop.

  I feel sorry for all the stifled wannabe actors/actresses. This is their only chance to project their inner artistry and they have to cloak it in the guise of praising the kingdom.

  "Never stop your enemy when he's making a mistake" - Napoleon

  2. experiences

  so yesterday when i went to the library there were three older gentlemen in suits standing around the front door.

  i spotted the stand with the magazines a second or two later.

  they were talking among themselves, totally ignoring everybody walking past them.

  Maybe you saw Matthew Jefferson, the new poster there too. He apparently goes to the library past some witnesses all the time.

  I am a proud Jehovah's Witness Defender

  by Matthew Jefferson in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my name is matthew j and i have just ended my study with the jehovah's witnesses.

  no, i did not stop studying because i believe the jehovah's witnesses are a 'cult', i left due to the minor beliefs that i hold that remain separate from the organization.

  i called my elder who is still an amazing man and great counselor, affirming that i do not wish to continue my studying.

  Haha I wonder if MJ is this person? He speaks so highly of him.

  I called my elder who is still an amazing man and great counselor, affirming that I do not wish to continue my studying. He was very calm and collected and said to me, "I applaud you for your honesty and [willingness to be open]. The door is still open if you ever, [ever] change your mind.

  Such a big vocabulary too. Studying at the library has it's benefits.

  Switching to the pre made dramas means that another avenue of fun is gone. At least for those that had some pull in the congregations. The live music and food preps are long gone. The society wants to make sure that everything is exactly as they want it.

  Sign at gilead graduation

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know, i'm not such a conspiracy thinker.

  but why do they display this sign / symbol at the background?

  with some litle imagination it is a freemason sign.

  If I remember right, the whole picture shows the same design at the top of the sign. Put together it's just a bunch of squares. Just a boring design probably suggested from a higher up with no imagination.

  just imagine what this world would be like if the jw faith had the whole world as believers?

  i just had a conversation with my dad where i said " fine , i will grant you that you your desire to have every person on the earth become a jw as that is the borgs goal by teaching correct.?

  i followed up with " if that would of happened in 1914 or earlier, what would become of our world?

  Did you actually read the bible end to end?

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in my ten years as a witness i never read the whole bible end to end, what with four magazines a month, the book study, meetings and talk preparations, there just wasn’t the time.

  i knew all the important references to ‘prove’ the various jw doctrines, and the cherry picked chapters that help foster the idea that it’s a good book, but that’s not reading it.

  well after nearly forty years out, i decided i would do it.

  I didn't. But when my brother in law experienced how the society the protects pedophiles themselves, I started with the book of Daniel & Revelation and compared them to the societies publications - namely the Revelation the grand climax, daniels prophecies.

  That is when I realized that the Society knew what they were teaching, wasn't bible based. They weren't "chosen" etc. After that, the gradual realization that both were fictional works of a business.

  Now I see that the Society, is just another wannabee messiah.
