Neat Blue Dog, You are right
That is why I mentioned "That is how JWs are trained" obviously by the GB

Here's another subtle reverse-witnessing topic:
by neat blue dog inthe next time a jw brings up a natural disaster or severe weather event as proof of the last days, and they preface it by reciting a fact they heard on the news like, (just for the sake of example) 'it's the worst earthquake in 70 years' or 'the worst plague in 200' years', (you get the picture), then simply reply: "oh, so that means that ____ years ago there was one that was worse, right?".
i did this twice.
both times got the same response:.

Predators prey on the weaklings of its prey. That is how JWs are trained. To take advantage of disasters and sufferings (Weakest situations) of others.
Shame, I too had been doing this once.

Critical thinking
by Freedom rocks inwhat kind of questions would you use to get a child'scritical thinking skills going from a young age with regards to the bible/god/jesus/anything to do with the religion??.
my most hated answer jws gave to people when they said you can't see god so how do you know he exists was "well you can't see electricity or gravity but you know they exist".
sorry but that doesn't prove god exists.

"well you can't see electricity or gravity but you know they exist".
Ok true.
I can demonstrate anytime that Electricity works by turning on the Light and the room brightens up
I can demonstrate anytime that gravity works when you throw a ball up and it comes down.
Both these Experiments are immediately demonstrable,verifiable and tangible and can be done by anyone, anytime, anywhere.
Is there something similar we can do to prove that God Exists. The Proof should be immediately demonstrable, verifiable and tangible at anytime, anywhere for everyone.

God and the afterlife. Do you need to believe in both
by moley ini consider myself an atheist, i completely reject the idea of a totalitarian desert god/any god and the bible is a book of fairytales and folk legends.. i do however sort of believe that this life is not all there is.
i’m not talking about heaven or hell but in a tangible state of being.. there are a few experiences i’ve had in my llife.
could be imagined could be real.

God(s) were created by humans. AfterLife is a wishful thinking of Humans.
When you believe in Afterlife, you are deluding yourself by thinking that humans are a special species in nature and that they deserve an afterlife. That is not the case. Humans have evolved to use their brains in a much complicated way than any other species. That’s it.
Otherwise nature treats every living thing equally. That is, every living thing suffers and eventually dies and is gone forever.

How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?
by pale.emperor inwhen i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.
i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.
i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.

FedUpJW, were you in the Writing department of Watchtower. That is so precise..
I dread any letter like this, as my JW wife would take my earnings and donate to those goons

Has God preserved His word today?
by JW Answers inhas god preserved his word today?
many people attack, doubt and fault god's word.
yet god has made several promises in his word.he promised to preserve his word unto every generation,he promised that every word would be truth,he promised that we can rely and depend on his every word.satan wants nothing more than to dismiss, and cast doubt on god's word... so the question today is... do we have god's preserved word today?

The Bible was compiled by Roman Politicians, centuries after the supposed death of Jesus Christ. Many supposed holy Books were excluded in that compile.
The Bible was circulated through handwritten copies until men invented the printing press. Not a very efficient way to spread god’s word
Almighty God’s holy name was taken out of his Holy book and he didn’t do anything about it for 1875 years until the JW religion was established.
Translation of a book into any other language would twist the original meaning, culturally and grammatically. This is what linguists say.
Still the Bible is undergoing revisions, as many verses are deleted from it, from various Christian denominations.

How could an All perfect God make creatures that could choose to sin and become imperfect.
God cannot sin. Thats what the Bible teaches. So should have been human kind, created by a sinless god.

What would you do or say?
by Butyoucanneverleave ina brother who is not baptized ( so there's still hope for him ) had a sister recently run into him at a store.
show wanted to know if he's going to the kingdom hall.
she asked him to write a letter for her to give to his mother ( who's deceased) in the paradise explaining why he didn't make it.

There are several Nutty cases like these in the JW world.
One brother said that he would start to tremble whenever he misses s meeting, and would become normal only when he is at the meeting again.
Another nut came to the hall to give his part, when his father was dead.

So the animals too would be perfect, as it has been promised that death would be no more, nor crying nor suffering.
And all carnivorous creatures would be eating Vegetation.
And what about leprosy germs, TB germs, Virus, and Flesh eating bacteria. Oh... they too would be made perfect, to be more virulent? We have to wait and see
And people won’t gossip, be selfish or harm others or even the slightest apostate thinking won’t come to their mind.
And meetings - 5 times a day to praise Jah. What if I skip meetings , as I always did in the old world.
No field Service, and fake time reporting, as all would be JWs. Phew…..That’s a good relief.
No fear of Job Insecurity, Layoffs, Inflation, Pollution , Corruption, Crime. All taken care of by Jah + Jesus + 144K
No Inorganic food stuff.
And people can choose to live some 10 million years in the Alps, the next ten million years in the Americas, another 10 million in any tropical Island. You know, these are minuscule periods of time when compared to eternity
Wow! Quite a situation, to live on forever. Looking forward.
