  i had a visit from jws yesterday.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5993895939276800/there-some-sort-campaign-going-on.

  the opening question was "do you think that the world is getting better or worse?".

  Viewpoint questions always.

  When pioneering we were repeatedly told never to open with questions that could get a Yes or No answer.

  I remember back in the 1980's when we were offering the blue Creation book my pioneer partner would open with:

  'We've been talking to people today about the meaning of life...' Subtle eh!

  Interesting.

  I haven't seen publishers on the ministry or even the carts where they are usually set up for ages.

  Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness

  a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

  elder: 'yes.

  i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

  Watchtower August leak: details from reddit user

  by ukpimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from reddit.. a summary of changes: .

  we are all sinners, so we have to be reasonable how we punish sinners.

  if elders and congregation do not quickly help someone come to be reinstated they would be imitating satan the devil, not jehovah (yes that actually is what is said in the tagalog version in translation!

  Others claim to believe the Bible but reject Jehovah’s organization.

  God, how I hope they eventually get legally crucified for treating those who remove themselves from their cult jw organisation with such hatred and disdain.

  This poster on youtube made a good point:

  'They really don’t care if you fade as long as you keep your mouth shut but when you speak out they hate you and make everyone else hate you.'

  I tried marking a congregation member who matched all the criteria in this article.

  The elders made my life absolute hell.

  I kept all spiritual contact, but no social interaction due to my inlaws non christian activities and life style.

  Guess what, he was made an elder.

  When everything REALLY hit the fan and it was revealed PUBLICLY what he was involved with, I got no apology and was still treated like dirt by the elders that appointed him - god how I hate this sham religious cult!!
