  Why would anyone choose to support Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by Half banana in

  2. beliefs

  what is the point of supporting a belief which began as a bronze age ox-headed idol called yahweh... in a religion designed for illiterate peasants now appropriated by a money-driven cult with a one hundred and forty six year unbroken record of total failure of its bible based predictions?.

  Personal integrity..... hmmm.....

  The JW way of life is all I have ever known, it speaks to me and I understand it fully.

  In my complicated situation, I have grown accustomed to viewing/treating the WTBTS as a buffet, taking what I like and avoiding the rest. There is much to be liked and I choose to accentuate that, the very nice social interactions for example.
  

  Good thing my mind is so well compartmenalized that I can find happiness this way. It works for me and so many others trapped inside.

  It is not in my best emotional/financial/social interest to flee from the group. All the JWs (INO) I hang out with are very lovely people.

  dear friends:.

  i imagine by now we old timers have adjusted to the fact that we are getting older and, one day, will make our exit.

  are your "senior moments" ever a cause for worry to you?

  I forget people's names easily. My reading is not as good because my eyesight is failing.

  Who came up with the term "golden years"? This phase of life sucks the big one!!!😢

  in the last few weeks it seems that instead of one or two new posters a week we seem to be getting several every day.

  many seem to be long time jw's who are troubled by the path of the organisation.

  this is really encouraging to those of us who have been here sometime.. welcome!

  The "conscious class" is becoming a huge army these days. It is awesome!

  The WTBTS is being cornered into change if they want to survive. In my Spanish cong people are just living their lives as they see fit, sending their young ones to college, etc.

  GOOD!!!

  how often do you, ........ no not that, how often do look at this forum ?

  and how long does it last,....... no not that again (one track minds) how many looks are you addicted to a day?

  keep coming back to see anything new, or do you look at posters who you know from experience have comments that will interest you?.

  I roam through all subjects, many of which do not compel me to contribute thoughts. Can only hang out here when I feel absolutely of not being found out.

  Belonging to the "conscious class" while still full in and in excellent standing is quite a tight rope to maneuver. Dreaming of future freedom since 1995.😕

  Dreamy for sure, but not realistic. Men have quite the exquisite pick, not the sisters as there are like 20 to 1 ratio; I feel so sad for so many in my Spanish cong that would love to find a JW mate, but there is nothing available.

  Welcome.

  He will be removed as an elder, surprising he hasn't been already, under the predicament of how can he direct the flock when he cannot even direct his household efficiently.

  Many like you and I are trapped in due to not wanting to lose family and friends. You are brave, though; most of us just continue to fake it and it is quite taxing mentally at times. Congratulations on your courage.

  Thought control - sexual fantasizing is wrong - May 2016 Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  >>the bible reveals that jehovah issaddened when people pursue a wick-ed course and ‘the inclination of theirthoughts is only bad all the time.’ (readgenesis 6:5, 6.

  ) from this we can per-ceive that sexual fantasizing is wrongbecause it can lead to serious sin that isforbidden in the scriptures and is out ofharmony with jehovah’s way of think-ing.the disciple james wrote: “the wis-dom from above is first of all pure, thenpeaceable, reasonable, ready to obey,full of mercy and good fruits, impar-tial, not hypocritical.” (jas.

  3:17) beingaware of this, we should be moved toreject entertainment that fuels impurethoughts and inclinations.
