  just talked to my pimi mom about this special, of course she saw it advertised, but didn’t watch it.

  she told me those programs are “ apostate lies.” i asked her if people magazine is apostate.

  she said no, but the one who wrote the article is.

  "when someone is disfellowshipped from the religion, normal family relations continue, with the exception of spiritual fellowship.”a watchtower lawyer clears up this common misunderstanding:.

  The JW`s also lyingly try to put the onus on the one that is shunned saying it`s their fault we are not talking to them because they knew the consequences of leaving the religion .So they still left knowing the consequences so its not our fault but theirs.....?

  How do you argue with reasoning like that ?

  Animals as vegetarians thread continued

  i found out just last night that back in 2015 scientists discovered a piece of amber estimated to be over 15 million years old.

  inside the amber was a flea, very similar to the size and kind that attack and eat our blood today.

  whats even more astonishing is in the mouth they found bacteria that has the same make up as bubonic plague.

  Can You Name ANYTHING That Jehovah’s Witnesses Have Been Right About?

  regarding prophecies, i can’t name one thing jws have been correct about.

  as a matter of fact nothing stands out to me that shows the witnesses have the truth..

  The Governing Body is not inspired, nor infallible.

  And of course they have never ever got any of their Bible prophecy`s right, no not one in their over 100+ years of trying.

  Allowed?

  a jobo i know has cancer.

  her son goes and cleans her house and generally cares for her.

  so does another non-jobo relative.. the congregation, interestingly, has shown very little support apart from the odd one rabbiting on about 'bible promises this and that'.. so, the co visited and said, 'but your son is an apostate(tm).

  The other side of the coin to this is that the elderly and infirm Jehovah`s Witnesses who have given their life to the religion are now left to rely on the Christian religions that the WT has told them to condemn all of there lives yet they are the ones that take them in and give them all of the assistance and health care they need.

  bit of background: a couple of years ago i was reproved after i slept with a brother that i was in love with but we were not married.

  in fairness, the elders were kind and supportive.

  the problem is, i had always been the model witness before that.

  Is wifi sensitivity the new chemical sensitivity?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  several of the jws i know have recently graduated/incorporated wifi sensitivity into their (self) diagnosis of chemical sensitivity.

  they seem to be particularly terrified of the new 5g, with some even believing that it's the new 5g that's causing coronavirus in china.

  the fact that even though they maybe able to turn off their own wifi but will still have all the other wifi signals around them doesn't seem to occur to these jws.

  When you are an employee of a company you must log on so the boss knows how many hours you have worked and how much he has to pay you .fair enough .

  But JW`s are not paid employee`s of a company that need to report their hours ,they are unpaid volunteers who do not need to report their hours .

  And isn`t Jehovah God an all seeing ,all Knowing God who can read hearts and minds ? Why does he need to see a written report of how many hours of preaching you have done ?

  JW`s pride themselves on being their religion based on first Century Christianity ? What scripture can they show us where reporting of time was ever in use ? In fact the opposite might be true .1Cor.1:29 " in order that no flesh might boast in the sight of God".

  For those of you who've watched the Witnesses documentary, let's suppose for a moment that...

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  for those of you who've watched the witnesses documentary, let's suppose for a moment that the org was forced to make their database of abusers available to the courts.

  if this database is as detailed and meticulous as it is claimed, how in the world could the org (in its present form) survive that?

  assuming they don't go bankrupt after all of the new abuse claims, would they go underground, shut down the kingdom halls, stop the preaching?

  I don`t know why law enforcement agencys just can`t go in and seize the documents ,they seem to be able to do it in the political realm or News media Tv stations etc. when they want to.

  I mean to say arent they defying court orders ? that say they are to present these files to the authorities ?

  So why arent the authorities doing their job ? and seizing these files themselves ?

  How many examples do we have that show over many issues that the law can be an ASS .
