  Why wouldn't they take the opportunity to return to a house with only underage children in it? If the child seems easily impressed, they might just keep in contact with them, building a relationship.

  Opportunists are everywhere.

  Is JW.Org the true religion?

  by Maria Nieves in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jw.org states that they are the true religion.

  i was told that it is written in the bible that jw.org is the true religion.

  the following is the "alleged" evidence that was presented to me:.

  Their actions show that they cannot be the "true" religion. They allow pedophiles to remain in the congregations without anyone knowing but them. Which means the parents can't protect their children. They don't call the police to investigate when a child is abused. There are many other things that prove they aren't what they claim to be.

  Anyone can pick a name out of a scripture and say it is them.

  March broadcast - Tightpants Tony wants to be filmed in action

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did anyone else notice this?.

  tony tightpants has the "morning worship" featurette in the march jw broadcast.. he appears to be hoping that someone will be videotaping the slaughter of 7 billion men, women, and children at armageddon.. quote is something like "we have some really good videographers here at bethel, but i don't think even they could capture what will happen.

  still, all things are possible with god..." (not exact, but that is the gist).. and of course morris imagines himself as one of the "anointed", who will be the ones, per wt doctrine, to conduct the slaughter.. it takes a special kind of hubris, arrogance, and sadism to wish that you yourself could be filmed in the act of slaughtering billions of people.. i've encountered a lot of jws with "dark souls", but based on his public comments, i'd say morris has teh blackest one i've seen.. if he says stuff like this for broadcast to 8 million + jws, what does he say in private?

  You know, someone should give him his wish. Show women, children and babies being "gloriously" killed. The reality of what would actually happen. Children on their way to school, killed. A woman with a baby, just after bathing it. Two nice old people sharing a cup of tea. People standing in line at the supermarket. At a hospital. Witnesses just as they leave their house and wave at their neighbor, see the angels slaughter them.

  I'm sure most witnesses don't contemplate what it really entails. It would be shocking.

  not that i spend much time on the cult's website, but i like to skim through their latest propaganda to make sure i'm up to date with their nuttiness.

  (and when i say skim, i mean just that.

  the wafer thin, dumbed down content can be read in like 2 mins flat).. i just had to share my thoughts on the above piece of trash.. no.

  This certainly worked on me! I was a humble doormat that doubted anything I did was good. I remember an "example" given from the podium - an elder who, when he thought he was better than others, would say to himself "you're nothing more than a speck of dust" And that is what they want you to dwell on.

  Yes, instill a feeling of inferiority to your children so they can be manipulated every time they go to the hall.

  When my sister and her husband realized that it couldn't be the truth, my sister did the rapid fire of information on me. I wasn't phased by that, but told her that she was doing too much. At that point, it wasn't that I thought the WT was wrong, but I was willing to look at what she saying because even if what she was telling me was wrong, I was going to wade thru it and examine it.

  But what was in my favor was previous information - the dateline show from like 20 years ago about pedophiles in the congregation and the organizations ways of dealing with it.

  I also had my lying and manipulative sister I was living with, as an example of the two faced hypocritical JW. I thought to myself, if my sister who I've treated so well all of these years can betray me, why not an organization?

  So I examined the bible against the teachings of the WT. It was then that I knew that they did not follow the bible. They also knew that too. So they were hypocrites and liars.

  For my sister, it was about the numbers. The 607 controversy, the "finished mysteries" explanation of how they came to that date.... added to it was her husbands eye opening first hand dealings with the organization and their protection of a pedophile.

  So understanding and knowing what your husband may have had issues in the past with as well as what would concern him the most, can help you.

  JW.ORG at the grocery store.

  by Queequeg in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  today while i was having my groceries checked out, a lovely woman came up next to me in the line.. i glanced over at her... her face screamed "i'm a pain in the ass!

  " she was obese and frumpy, and (i know maybe i'm projecting a little too much here...) she seemed to exude a sense of superiority, like, "i'm too good to be around these losers.".

  i paid for my food and made a point of being especially nice to the checker because i figured her next person was going to be unpleasant.. as i was gathering my things, the checker asked this lovely woman, "is plastic ok?

  The other side of it may have been a lady who was encouraged to wear the lapel and her best defense was to be extra extra. Like when they wanted us to wear our badges from the assembly when you went to dinner. Awkward. I smiled like a fool. Self conscious and trying to look like a good JW - cause I felt like everyone was looking at me.

  Have yet to see it in person. Actually hope never to see it.

  Remember the puppies in George Orwell's Animal Farm? Sheesh!

  What about the puppies? In the story, they were taken from their mom and raised to be vicious by the pigs. Who then used them to keep the other animals in line or even kill them.

  Are you saying, that if they get vaccinations they will become vicious, turn on their parents or ??? If you ever saw what small pox did to people and how many it killed - would you be one of the one's refusing to take the vaccination? At least these children might be spared a deadly disease.

  A question to ask active JW's

  "if you were summoned to court for jury service, how do you think the judge would react if you stated your refusal to listen to the prosecution's evidence - because someone outside had already assured you that the accused was innocent?

  " .

  Juries are given specific instructions about what they can or cannot use in the case. In the process of selecting a juror on a case I was conscripted for, a lady said to the Judge that she knew the defendant. She was called into chambers because the judge wanted to ascertain if she could be impartial. When they came out, the judge said she had found that the potential juror could be impartial. Of course that didn't mean a thing because the lawyer kicked her out of the case the next round.

  So judge or lawyer would have kicked them out. Probably the judge, would have chastised them.

  The phrase "one of Jehovah's Witnesses"

  by Ding in

  jws don't say, "i am a jehovah's witness.".

  instead, they say, "i am one of jehovah's witnesses.".

  what does the second way of saying it convey that the first does not?.

  I am one of them.. I am one of a multitude. To me it makes it a defined group.
