  Research Opportunity

  by researchstudentsophie in

  my name is sophie mueller, and i’m currently in the class ap research.

  the aim of ap research is to have students enter into an academic conversation that exists about a specific topic or issue.

  for my research project, i have chosen to evaluate the social stress levels, or sense of belonging, within members of the jehovah’s witnesses community, due to my personal background with the religion.

  You write:

  "Because this sect exhibits mental illness 16 times more than the general population, it is important to find a solution, in order to raise awareness and help people."

  Where I can find this information and is it science-based?

  Before they ask anything at all, they tell you that you must write to the elders about your request for reinstatement.

  § 1

  Escalating violence surrounds us. True, we are convinced that these “critical times hard to deal with” are evidence that we are living “in the last days” and that each passing day brings us one step closer to the new world. (2 Tim. 3:1)

  Germany had in 2017 10% less crimes than in the year 2016:

  @ dubstepped @ sherrie

  Since I'm on vacation, I listened to the whole podcast. Thanks for this 3 hours podcast.

  Sherrie told her story fantastically and pleasantly. I could "see" the tears in her eyes as she learned the truth about JWs dealing with child molesters (ARC) and the truth about them dealing with quotes (jw-facts) in the publications.

  I wish Sherrie a lot of strength in dealing with her father - I had to experience the same with my mother.

  It is heartwarming to hear how Sherrie and her husband were allowed to learn the truth about the truth (TTAT) and how this family was not destroyed by the JWs.

  I have the 2016 version from here: https://avoidjw.org/watchtower-library/

  And then all the automatic updates done.

  It's hard to believe, that WT is changing parts of such an old publication. But they have done it.

  In my experience, no JW will install an "old" 2013 library CD to verify your statement - for them it's a old version and they will not have the new stuff available. Propably they didn't keep the old CDs either.

  Suggestion:

  Maybe you write number 7 with both versions into the table - showing, that the WT ist trying to hide, what they wrote in the past. So a noble JW can look into the hardbound "Insight on the Sriptures" AND on his actual library CD and see, that the WT is dishonest.

  @ FatFreek 2005

  You wrote: "What follows is a table of 8 WT publication quotations. With the exception of the first, you will be able to find each on the Watchtower Library CDC."

  I tried hard, but can't find number 7:

  "“This is also illustrated by what happened to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their inhabitants. Jude indicated that these cities were everlastingly destroyed. (Jude 7; compare 2Pe 2:6.) However, Jesus’ words recorded in Matthew 10:15 show that at least some of the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah will receive a resurrection.” Insight on the Scriptures, V1, p 616"

  I have the english library version and updated until today. Where can I find your qoute in the library CD?

  My point here is: If a lurking JW can't find your qoute on his CD, he may think: "like the governing body says - they are lying apostates".

  Beside this point, in the same year and same month the WT wrote exactly the opposite (so it seems to be an contradiction in the year 1988):

  "*** w88 6/1 pp. 30-31 Questions From Readers ***

  One of the most pointed comments is in Jude 7. Jude had just spoken of (1) Israelites destroyed for lack of faith, and (2) angels who sinned and are ‘reserved with eternal bonds for the judgment of the great day.’ Then Jude wrote: “So too Sodom and Gomorrah . . . are placed before us as a warning example by undergoing the judicial punishment of everlasting fire.” This text has been applied to the actual cities’ being destroyed everlastingly, not the people. However, in view of Jude 5 and 6, likely most people would take verse 7 to mean a judicial punishment of individuals. (Similarly, Matthew 11:20-24 would be understood as criticizing people, not stones or buildings.) In this light, Jude 7 would mean that the wicked people of Sodom/Gomorrah were judged and destroyed everlastingly."

  I really appreciate the work and effort you put into this document. Keep it up.
