  the organization has many problems.

  certain doctrines are problematic.

  the men who run the organizaion have issues.

  The biggest problem with WT is WT.

  This group was sewn together like frankenstein's monster with bits taken from this group and that, and whatever was missing Russell provided his own whacked out theories and declared "It lives." He got a modest following, and after his death Boozerford saw an opportunity to make some money and get some power.

  Now, the monster still lives and people are still suffering, dying and families and lives being torn apart.

  Everything about this group is wrong even the bits that are "right" are wrong.

  The final paragraph in that article is very iluminating.In a nutshell describing relationships with the WT.

  "one-sided" -check

  "exploititive" - check

  "toxic "- check

  You could be on to something there, poopie.

  The trifecta of emotional abuse.

  Should this Body of elders be considered blood guilty?

  by dbq407 in

  over the weekend a very nice, caring individual was killed in a car accident after meeting.

  she was 32 y/o and has a 3 year old daughter.

  her husband was driving home from meeting when his car slid off the road, came back on the road, and was broad sided by a truck.

  This sort of incident is why it so important to use you own better judgement rather than blindly believe and obey the spoken and unspoken "rules" of this cult. This cult does not care who dies in the process of "obeying."

  You are expendable colateral damage - nothing more.

  Stop listening

  Stop obeying

  Stop being harmed!

  Obey the Superior Authorities God says / God says Satan is controlling the Superior Authorities.?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  romans 13 : 1-4 clearly states that the superior authorities are an arrangement from god , defy them and you are working against the arrangement of god at your own peril.. christians are to be obedient to the superior authorities ,"for their is no authority except by god , the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by god .therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ".

  matt.

  4 :8-10 shows that all the kingdoms and governments are under satan`s control , jesus never disputed that claim .

  Excellent point smiddy!

  Yes, why would they tell us to be obedient to the superior authorities supposedly controlled by Satan but put in place by God. Classic WT double -speak. I always thought WT has more in common with Satan than with Jesus anyway, by WT's own descriptions of Satan.

  700K+ views Ex-JW schoolgirl exposes organisation

  by the girl next door in

  2. experiences

  if only every ex-jw could reach this same audience with videos and other avenues!

  but this is truly remarkable.. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ex-jehovahs-witness-schoolgirl-exposes-organisation-as-a-religion-that-destroys-lives-10273064.html.

  a schoolgirl who left the jehovah’s witnesses after learning of its alleged failure to protect vulnerable women has blasted the organisation in a powerful speech to her classmates.. holding back tears, she recalled her personal experiences as a member of the church and how she was taught everyone outside the religion, including her father, would be sent to armageddon.

  It's great if mainstream media has started picking up on that video. It did the rounds amongst us apostates now the world gets to see it.

  Should I get babtized?

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this sounds like a ridiculous question but i was talking with my mom in the car today and of course we got on the topic of getting babtized again.

  she told me that jehovah holds me accountable for my sins regardless of wether i am babtized or not so i have no reason to be holding back because it won't change anything.

  my parents are the type of super strict jw who will shun you just for not being a witness.

  Do not under any circumstances allow yourself to be emotionally blackmailed into getting baptized. Your future self will thank you for it.

  Just put them off with "oh I would like to be 100% ready when I do that, it's such an important decision. Jesus was 30 when he got baptized and I think he knew wha he was doing, don't worry about me I'll get there...." blah blah blah they will be reassured by your mature attitude and leave you alone for a while.

  Be confident and act like you know your own mind and you know what you are doing and they may let up a bit.

  Just remember baptism = accountability. The pressure won't lessen after baptism it will increase.
