Quoting: Oyster This is almost as bad as the GLP Failed Predictions Thread. How could anyone follow a denomination (and I am using the term loosely) that has proven itself wrong over and over and over again? [link to en.wikipedia.org] This is the main reason they will fall.

Resister User ID: 36421936 United States 06/17/2013 11:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What I don't get is that the JWs (incorrectly) believe only 144,000 go to heaven. Just with the 7 billion people breathing on the planet right now that would be a nearly unatainable goal to be a part of such a small group. Add in the billions upon billions for recorded history and i've got to wonder why these people keep knocking on my door to hand me a flyer. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

Quoting: Hopeless GB? Governing Body, otherwise known to it's adherents as the Faithful and Discreet Slave. You know, the men at the top. aaahhhh ok |

If I understand it right, it's borderline brainwashing too. They isolate and deprive fresh victi... "converts" of all contact with family and former friends while they are being indoctrinated. My wife had a family member that was very nearly snatched up by them. It was very difficult just to get to talk to him for a while. Lots of wrestling with them and him and a lot of prayer later, he came around and cut the JWs loose. I don't know what their initial lure was or why he couldn't see the disception, but it was like he was getting sucked into a black hole.

They can't help it. They are brainwashed, mind controlled puppets who are more afraid of thinking than any group of people I've ever known. I feel very sad for them because their love for God has been used against them. They are trapped within a cult whose only purpose is to collect money. Once they are in, getting out costs them their families and friends who are still in. The objective is to shun those who disbelieve the power and authority of the GB in the hopes it will bring them back. ??? The WTB$ is a publishing House masquerading as God's only channel on Earth. |

Each baptized witness is required to turn in time spent spreading the "good news" every month. Those who don't turn in time, get visits from their loving brothers. |

Do not force your false god on kids. It is abuse. I wish I could sue the JW's for what they put me through. |

Quoting: *Evan All I know is they are strict, and they usually seem really nice. I thought mormons were strict with their beliefs, but JW are even more so. I knew very little myself but this thread is an eye opener. Yea...if the stuff being said is true. I will have to verify the info before I believe it. Not saying any of these posters are liars, but anyone can say anything about any group.... |
