Are You SURE JWs Don't Have The Truth??? (page 5)

Sweetp0985

I still sometimes beat myself up because of this, but lately I've finally come to the realization that if they do have the "truth" and I've been bad mouthing them...OH THE HELL WELL!!! I guess I'll be one of the ones falling into cracks like many of their infamous artists depictions of Armageddon. So if not being a JW means death..I guess I'm already dead so I'm trying to live life to the fullest..without all the headaches of having the ~~JWBI(Jehovah's Witnesses Bureau of Investigations)~~elders after me all the time...

Does a bear shit in the woods and wipe his ass with a rabbit?

Terry,

How could any JWs argue with that? Great food for thought.

100%, absolutely, without a doubt, I know that they do not have 'the truth', end of discussion.

If they do, then I've made my own bed and I'll sleep in it. They're guilt trips do not bother me. I would rather be dead than live in a 'paradise' under those rules. As if people are going to be dancing about, kissing serpents and lions, eating fruit forever more.

I did until I got the "following Satan and the demons straight", there is no Satan and the Demons, unless there's a punk band of the same name.

LIKE SHAMUS SAID.

I FINALLY DECIDED THAT EVEN IF IT TURNS OUT THEY ARE THE ONE TRUE RELIGION.

I WANT NONE OF IT. I THOUGHT OF LIVING IN A WORLD DOMINATED BY THE WBTS AND ELDERS AND DECIDED DEATH WAS A BETTER OPTION.

THEN OVER TIME, A LOT OF IT SPENT HERE, I DETERMINED THEY HAD NOTHING LIKE THE TRUTH.

THAT WAS WHEN ALL THE SUBTLE FEELINGS OF FEAR AND SHAME, DISINTIGRATED AND FLOATED AWAY.

FINALLY AFTER 55 YRS OF LIFE IN THE BORG "AT LEAST TO SOME DEGREE" I WAS OUT.

LIFE FINALLY BECAME ENJOYABLE AND A LOT EASIER. FEELINGS OF HAPPINESS AND PEOPLE STARTED TO LOOK FRIENDLY AND KIND, INSTEAD OF WORLDLY.

I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT I THINK YOU GET THE DRIFT.

Are you kidding......I thank my lucky stars .....and my one great attribute...common sense. When moving to a new city I was thinking...do I want a bunch of BORING friends or real ones?? Do I want the Party line or do I want real people? And most of all, when raising my 2 kids - can I possibly give them that line???/ no way. My children saved me and themselves.

ANYONE that thinks that JWs have exclusively gotten the "truth" should have their head examined! Sword of Jah, especially.

I no longer believe it is the truth. I used to wake up in a cold sweat thinking I would die when the end came, but I have made peace with the fact that one day I will die.

Yes, I no longer have dozens of friends and yes, my family shuns me. Am I happier now being out of the org? You bet I am!!!!!

It's not often I post in a minimus thread... or even bother to look at responses after doing so... no offence, Minimus....

But those words do strike a chord with me.

People do not look 'worldly'. They are just like you and I; yet dubdum makes all persons not dubs as evil, horrible people. Time and time again they have the counsel 'bad assosiation spoils useful habits', yet many in 'da troof' are little more than empty shells who drink too much, and are bitter.

Live in paradise on erf with those kind of people? I could think of nothing more boring! Nothing to do all day, but be spied upon.
