  Do not choose higher education. The New System is near enough that you will not get old or get any use for a profession. (Awake 1969?)

  Fading is never 100% successful is it?

  by nicolaou in

  2. family

  mum phoned last night to see how we all are.

  after fifteen years away from meetings and my old jw life you'd think my fade could be called 'successful' and for the most part it is.

  .. my resentment at being lied to and having wasted over thirty years of my life has left me like a glass of water full to the brim, it only takes a tap to make a mess.

  You can check out anytime you want, but you could never leave the WTBTS.

  An argument and sleepless night over a dog, and semantics, though?! There have to be better battles than this pettiness.

  good morning from the east coast.

  i have a question.

  a friend of mine texted me and one of the things she said was that they were getting a lot of great responses with the campaign because they are showing the video.

  Video showing is now part of what we HAVE to report monthly.

  One more thing to be judged on. One more to be a liar about. 😕

  Is Revelation a false prophecy; was Luke 21:8 written to discredit it; or is this a massively overlooked bible contradition?

  by Island Man in

  2. bible

  at luke 21:8 jesus is recorded as telling his disciples:.

  "look out that you are not deceived; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, 'i am he', and, 'the due time has approached.

  at revelation 1:1-3 we read:.

  Revelation was written under a drug-induced trip.

  Who cares really?!

  Such a silly, worthless, time wasting, meaningless and repetitive ritual each year. Sick and tired of it already. A holy hiccup in the middle of my week. Is he not a glorious king in heaven now? Why is he not solving our issues down here already? It is all man made up bs.

  What is more important is where are we going to eat and hang out afterwards?

  Amen and pass the biscuits.😜

  They sure are making a killing with the sales of all that property, plus building a more state-of-the-art compound upstate NY and some other places around the world.

  Actually, its good they're getting all this money. Takes the guilt away completely about not donating anymore.

  What Happens To You When You Die?

  are our dead loved ones watching over us at all or are they really just gone now?

  I buy into the "lights out" concept.

  However, it'd be cool if something else was true, let's say, that we would reincarnate in another life form depending on how we behaved with our current life form.

  For example, that a sexist/racist shall reincarnate into a minority/woman, living in deplorable circumstances; or, that an animal abuser reincarnated in animal form; or Donald Trump reincarnated into a poor Latina trying by all means to make it to the USA in order to provide a better life for her relatives back home.

  That'd be sooooooo cool! As you all know, daydreaming is one of my specialties.

  Do todays Jw's care at all about Russell and the pyramid?

  by olongapo joe in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just wondering, as i will be visiting active jw family in ohio in a few weeks, do you think it will be worthwhile dropping it into a conversation, about the wtbts pyramid near his grave, or try some other topic to try and wake them up.

  i was never baptized and don't really care if they get upset or not, but it is only a day trip from ohio to pittsburgh, and thought it would be fun if they denied it, and then drove their to see it for ourselves.

  Oh yeah, it's been mentioned that just like Jehovah dealt with his chosen people in the past, as they made mistakes he'd correct them, punish them, abandon them and then had them reinstated to his grace, that the same way he deals with today's organization in the event they take wrong turns or make wrong choices.

  It's unbelievable how crafty hardcore JWs can be excusing the WTBTS.

  we believe what we want to believe!

  What's the purpose of being a JW now?

  by MrTheocratic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with all the recent changes to this religion, what really is the purpose of being a jw?

  especially for those who have been in and witnessed all the changes and still no sight of the end.

  for these ones in particular (35-55 year olds) they must be in a state of confusion.

  For me, remaining a JW, labeled 'spiritually weak' as it is, still grants me love and communication/interaction with hubby, parents, extended family and so many friends. These human relationships are worth the tiny bit of misery endured at the meetings/assemblies/service/memorial.

  I emphasize the positive interactions and fun before and afterwards, so this has helped me to persevere for decades since knowing TTATT. The fact that the guilt is gone since becoming part of the 'conscious class' has helped immensely.

  Do you still believe in God?

  by FormerlySandL in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i never thought i would admit it, but i don't.

  i might superstitiously have some kind of doubt but digging a bit deeper in my heart i really don't believe in god.

  as a human i could never just sit and watch people be tortured, live years of abuse, suffer from illness and disabilities and all the other awful things people have to endure day after day without doing something about it.

  I believe in higher powers, evil supernatural forces among us, people possessed/guided by these evil forces, people guided by 'good' supernatural forces.

  In essence, do not believe that we humans understand forces/powers above ours. We make guesses based on ancient writings, but none is certain.
