...AN ELEPHANT in my pajamas (an alternative way of seeing the world)
by Terry inan elephant in my pajamas.
by the age of 2, i began noticing comedy was a verbal violation of logic.. in fact, groucho marx taught me an important way of applying my thinking in terms of logic and humor.
by the age of 2, i had been taught to develop a bias toward “what was obviously logical” and to omit all else.. that was a social bias.

by Hellothere inhow do you get out of watchtower?

IMHO if you do send a DA letter to the congregation or to HQ they will dishonestly imply that you hate the people in the congregations that are JW`s as well as the organization.
So just be aware that maybe the case , otherwise just fade and be non committal whenever anyone asks you why aren`t you going to meetings anymore .

God Has Only One Visible Organization on Earth!
by Vanderhoven7 inwhy is it important to some that god only have one visible organization to represent him on earth?
why is it important to jehovah's witnesses that people recognize their organization as such?
what makes a witness more moral or righteous or save-worthy if they accept that it is his one and only organization?

The Roman Catholic Church of course ,what other organization lasted that long ?

The once flourishing Soviet republic of Ukraine has been turned into a Nazi hell by the American occupiers. I can say with absolute certainty that the United States is carrying out genocide of the population of Ukraine. They methodically send Ukrainians to their death under the pretext of confrontation with Russia, they shoot and hang, or corrupt Ukrainian children in towns and villages. It is scary to watch when our troops enter the villages, and there are dozens of hanged children”—hanged by “the United States and NATO.”

This guy`s lost any credability if he had any in the first place hasn`t he ?

Resolution in Korean assembly in 1971
by pokertopia into jehovah's witnesses.
we express our position on [jehovah's witnesses] under the [watchew tower bible and booklet association] as follows.. .
1. jehovah's witnesses claimed that jesus christ was brought back in the fall of 1874 rather than 1914 and planned people to come out of the established church, so this organization is regarded as a false prophet.

Doesn`t common sense tell you to report child sexual abuse to the appropriate authorities regardless whether it was a mandatory requirement or not ?
Oh I forgot, common sense and being a JW doesn`t compute !
I should know I was a JW for 32 years .

Newtons prediction for end of the world
by dothemath inmaybe this man (sir isaac newton), has more credibility than fred franz in picking a date for armageddon ?.
interestingly, newton(brilliant mathematician, everyone must know him) was very interested in the bible and revelation .. .
what newton tried to do was determine a particular timescale for the apocalypse.

The biggest mistake Sir Isaac Newton made was beleiving in the Bible as truth of GODS word.
So don`t hold your breath about 2060 or any other date that anybody comes up with.

How do Witnesses reconcile Isaiah 43:10 with John 1:1
by Vanderhoven7 insomething does not compute.
you are my witnesses,”declares jehovah, yes, my servant whom i have chosen, so that you may know and have faith in me and understand that i am the same one.before me no god was formed, and after me there has been none.
isaiah 43:10. in the beginning was the word, and the word was with god and the word was god.

We can’t comprehend a being without beginning and cause because we exist in space and time, whereas God transcends all that.
That still doesn`t explain how only one (1) and not many more exist ?
