  The 'Slave Class', huh?!

  Have you seen the idyllic, men-worshipped, materialistic lives all these fat cats, their 'helpers' and other close associates are living everywhere they go???!!!

  Members in my family have volunteered several times to help in the Warwick construction and the info they brought back on how especially lavish the living quarters of the GB members are makes my blood boil with anger.

  'Slave Class' my ass!!!

  This is why I've decided, not one more farging red penny for these clowns.

  OK - I've had it - My letter to the KH

  the whole time i lived in colorado, i had the dubs come by once and leave a tract.

  but since moving to california, they are at my door so often i asked them to put me on the "do not call" list.

  this did not stop them, in fact i have asked four times, plus once i called the kingdom hall and left a message, they still come, the last time this past saturday.

  A man in our territory had to shoot at a couple of JW sisters for them to get the point of not bothering knocking again.

  A bit extreme, but it did the trick. The couple it happened to was so distressed that they stayed away from preaching door-to-door for a while.

  Mentally challenged DF

  by James Mixon in

  there was a df of a mentally challenged young man he sexually assaulted a young girl.. in jesus day people were possessed by demons but we know today they had mental issues.. do you know of any cases where a mentally challenged person was df.. the case that i mention the young man was 18-20 years old and it was a case where he was.

  functional, school, friends and was baptized.

  i knew the family and if you didn't know he was a. typical teenager.. my question, if a mentally challenged person is able to answer the questions to qualify to be.

  Mentally challenged people shouldn't be baptized. We have around 8 in our Spanish hall, all somewhere in the Autism spectrum some more functional than others, and they are all baptized much to my chagrin.

  The Org only cares about numbers. Idiots!!!

  How many here (believers) believe in the Hell fire doctrine and why??

  by jam in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's obvious the bible is very clear on a actual hell of fire.

  "cursed into the eternal fire with the devil and his angels", rev.20:15.

  "lake of fire", rev.21:8 "fire and brimstone".

  Why facts fail to reach the faithful, (even the intelligent ones)

  by done4good in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i posted this on another thread, and decided it deserves its own...thoughts?.

  an unfortunate artifact of evolution is that belief can, and often does trump fact.

  survival is at the core of what belief is about.

  Believe me, there are plenty that know the facts but, for whatever reason, mainly fear of losing all social contacts and along with that one's sanity, we have just decided to go along with playing the WTBTS game.

  Oh, we know.... We definitely know.😕

  This fat cat Lett is going around Spanish assembly halls saying crap like "let us not be discouraged because the end has not come as we expected to have happened by now", without recognizing that our expectations have been fed and encouraged by the WTBTS. So infuriating!!!😡

  Infant baptism in the JW religion, why is it harmful to young ones

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  baptism for young jw's is not the same as that practiced by other denominations, and it carries a lot of potential for harm.

  getting baptized as a young person in association with the jw organization is harmful to young ones who as they are maturing, wish to exit from the clutches of this captive religion.. when you see young ones, such as the one in the photo below, get baptized, doesn't your heart just sink, knowing the jw religion has caught another victim in its web of deception and abuse?.

  Baptism without full knowledge and understanding is the same as infant baptism.

  We are to follow on Jesus Christ's steps. At what age did he baptized? Alright then! Even though the Bible mentions that time when he was in the synagogue questioning the clerics, which meant he had love and appreciation for God, still he did not get baptized. He was a CHILD.

  Yet JWs have baptized kids as young as 7 years old!!! It is shameful!!!😡

  One of my big pet peeves of this religion.

  My boyfriend is thinking of becoming reinstated

  by gypsyvine in

  2. relationships

  i'm not really sure where to post this.. i've been with my boyfriend for 4 months now and i've really never been happier.

  i was brought up in the church of christ with an elder father and i really believe in my religion, although i will admit to being a lousy christian at times due to sheer laziness (not wanting to get out of bed on sunday).

  my boyfriend essentially lives with me.

  If he is reinstated, unless you want to convert to JWism, you are in for a rude awakening. Start planning for the many times he will be awol from your life.

  As in love as you are, start to imagine him GONE.🙁

  how do most of you now feel about the military?

  by sowhatnow in

  was not sure where to post this, but i was curious, how do some of you now feel about the military?

  would any of you let your children enlist, or would you yourselves join any military field?

  how do you feel about the idea of women in the military?

  Have never supported it; Do not think ever will, although my taxes are used towards it.

  US military has done such criminal harm in the Middle East that I cannot bring myself to ever be interested.

  Poor members believe they are agents of good. In reality, nothing more than sacrificial lambs to the God of greed and war.

  For sure my deep JW indoctrination plays a part in my feelings about all things.

  Do You Remember The First Time You Looked At "Apostate" Material?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i was always fascinated by it.

  as a kid, i used to go to the local library and secretly read books by so called apostates.

  later, i would sneak into christian book stores and quickly buy a book or two.

  Once I stumbled into this forum years ago, forgettabout it, I knew it would never be the same. I have left mentally and never looked back. It is good for my psyque to know I am not alone.

  Thanks Simon!!! 😊
