  Herbalife and the Watchtower Comparison, Herba-life is under attack!

  by BucketShopBill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws are, i think they are more like "herba-drones" it's been on the news as a massive war with a billionaire who is trying to expose it as a cult company.. http://www.benzinga.com/media/cnbc/14/08/4799559/scott-wapner-believes-that-bill-ackman-is-increasing-his-short-position-in-.

  herbalife has it's people believe it's products can extend life (jws believe their teachings will bring "everlasting life") and tell you to hit everyone up you know to buy these life-saving products.

  jws tell you to preach to your family and workmates, everyone is fair game to herba-drones and jw-drones, nobody is safe unless your a nutritionist (ex-jw with wisdom) who knows they sell a bogus emotion and worthless products.. .

  If you go to Steven Hassan's site freedomofmind.com you will find that Herbalife and Amway are listed as cults. He has a long list of cults and there are also articles about these cults along with some court cases. I found it very interesting and you might too.

  I LOST IT ... my JW rant today

  by talesin in

  well, i just couldn't hold it in anymore.. today, i exploded, talking to my mother about the family inheritance and how i am being screwed.. i told her i had been so angry lately, and just had to tell her what i was thinking, because the anger was slipping out at times, and i was making snide anti-jw comments .... which is not my way.

  i'm usually quite direct.. i told her that i couldn't take being treated like a piece of dog you-know-what on the bottom of someone's shoe any longer.. that in the past couple of years, i had learned so much filth about the jws that i was getting more and more disgusted day by day.. i started shouting ... there is nothing wrong with me!!!

  why do i have to be shunned when they hide child molesters???.

  Did not Attend Mid-Week Meeting but Felt Good - Strange Feeling?

  by ProfCNJ in

  hi folks.

  the usual feeling for me - when i missed mid-week meetings - is to feel guilty, sad or depressed.

  it normally involved negative feelings.

  I walked away two years ago and I never had one bit of guilt at all. By the time I finished COC I knew it was mostly lies and it was a relief for me to never go back. It was hard enough when I didn't know the real truth sitting there but once I found out everything there is no way I could sit there and listen to any of it.

  Not on jw.org - comments regarding bad Jehovah's Witness employees

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i used to be very impressed with convention experiences regarding how worldly employers would hire jws because they were known as the most honest workers.

  i was too indoctrinated to realise these were selective experiences, and there are plenty of experiences of jws being dishonest in the workforce.

  i have received a couple recently by email.. i have cut quite a bit out of the following email i received so that the person and company cannot be indentified, but you will get the message.. .

  We own a very successful interior trim carpentry and cabinet shop. For the most part we have tried to keep away from hiring them to work for us or doing work for them. We are still owed money from a few elders we did work for and we will never see it. We have two working for us right now and they are good employees. Not sure what will happen when the shit hits the fan when I turn in my DA letter.

  I now have a law degree!

  hi guys, i don't really post on here much anymore, having been on here since 2001. this site helped me out in the early days and has been a great support system for all of my past jw issues.

  like many others i was discouraged from an education so that i could window clean and pioneer in my youth during the 80's.

  having spent many years post my jw exit in alcoholism and periods of drugs, i decided to clean myself up 7 years ago by attending aa, i was still a window cleaner ... at the time i wrote extensively on here about my issues.

  Congratulations on getting your education and I wish you much success in getting your PhD. More importantly congratulations on getting sober and staying sober because with out doing that you would not be successful in school. It takes a lot of courage to admit your problem and then take action and continue to do the right thing. Send a big hug to you for your accomplishments!

  does the BORG follow OSHA standards at KH/ASSEMBLY builds?

  by goingthruthemotions in

  had a discussion with my wife about kh/assembly hall builds and i told her i don't believe the watchtower society follow osha standards on there build sites.

  she trumpted it up that the borg follows stringent pratices and there standards would be more strict.

  i laughed and said....ya i don't think so.

  I know they use to allow children on the builds but I think that was stopped a number of years ago. I know you have to be 16 and I think baptized now to be on the site. More than 25 years ago we were on a KH building site and a 16 years old who just got her drivers license backed into a 2 year old and she died from the injuries.

  Maybe he was able to choose his jewelry from the jewelry donations coming in from inheritances! I love jewelry but for a group of men who take a vow of poverty and tell others to not be materialistic he sure has gone overboard with it.

  i'm not sure if this has been discussed before.

  you guys might recall that when the 2013 yearbook came out, the letter from the governing body ended a bit unusually:.

  we love you all very much.

  I can't believe they are so arrogant to autograph a bible, they are so narsistic.
