To all JDub lurkers: How can you continue to preach knowing that you are telling lies?

by macys in

this is a damn serious question.

you must know by now that jerusalem was not destroyed in 607 bce and that 607 was initially picked by ct russell by using his "pyramid scheme" measurements.

there is no hiding these facts yet you continue to preach this nonsense.

Anytime you set foot in a KH and attend meetings and are counted while being seated you are in effect preaching this BS by your actions; you are in effect showing others around you that you endorse this bullshit weather you are going to keep ties with friends and family or not.

I disagree. By sitting there silently when everyone knows me as the ex elder that answered every opportunity, by never going on the ministry when everyone knows me as the ex pioneer, people can see quite clearly there's something wrong, that clearly I have a problem with the bOrg. And yet I've not changed into an evil selfish person, I'll still help people, in still caring, just not really participating. And as you know, the bOrg gossip mongering machine soon gets into full sway. I'm finding it interesting to see who's dropping me like a hot potato and who's even more willing to talk now they know I've got issues..

Don't fall through the "cracks"

by mrsObfuscate in

being able to understand and identify the "cracks" (i.e.

unintended consequences) in the many systems we are surrounded by had a profound influence on my ultimate decision to step away from the org.

i mentioned in my first post there were many nuanced details that added up to help me to finally take the steps i needed to exit, and this was a fairly big one.

Thanks for giving is your testimony sister!

This type of insight is really important to help those of us 'still in for spouses' to know how we might reach them. True, what affects one might not affect another, but it all helps somebody sometime..

Beards

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

i have a beard.

i spend a month on vacation with no worry from the congregation overseas of course.

i grew a full beard now and with glasses i finally have posted my picture on facebook og me... next to half life 2 cover showing i look like gordan freeman lol.

disposable hero of hypocrisy

I'm in the UK, a big city, around twenty congs, I can think of at least a dozen ms's with beards, and definitely two elders at least with goatees. They're talked about though, despite being solid believers. Certain congs will not have them give public talks. It's ridiculous that this conversation is even being had.

Simon, How do you sustain this website?

by Wonderment in

simon,.

first, i hope you and your family are having a nice christmas.. we are at the end of the year, so it's time to ponder a bit about how grateful we should be to you and all the contributors for making this site for what it is.

i have noticed other jw's forum related sites come and go, but this one has held steady for many years.

disposable hero of hypocrisy

Thank you Simon. I'm glad you're a nerd, and I'm gladder that you get something out of it too.

This forum was a key instrument in my waking up, and I'm certain many others would echo that.

Cheers buddy!

Does Jehovah Intervene - JW Teaching

by thedepressedsoul in

i have been a jw my whole life and i have never been able to get a clear answer on this question.

jw's do not believe that jehovah will intervene if someone is sick, dying or stopping a car crash.

they feel that jehovah is letting "this world" play out before he solves all of these problems.

disposable hero of hypocrisy

And I'll throw this in the mix too.

If Yahweh DID provide that poor penniless circuit overseer with a donation of just enough gas money to get them to the next call/village/bingo hall, then how is that not proving Satan's point he made with Job? That we only serve for what we can get out of it.

My dilemma

by Saltheart Foamfollower in

i have a bit of a dilemma that i would welcome advice on from the forum.. a brother in my congregation is giving evidence of having woken up - his comments and talks are usually slanted towards topics discussed here.

he is a former elder and is part of a group of other former elders and ministerial servants who i regularly overhear using terms i would expect to hear from ones knowing ttat.

he is a quite an effective teacher and will probably influence some.. however, in the past he has caused lots of problems for myself and others who i like (including another poster to this site who i have identified) and continues to be someone who i dislike intensely on a personal level.. his comments have been noticed by the body of elders and he is being watched.

(As a warning, using terms that relate to ttatt might not be an indicator of awakening, I know elders that read on here just to keep up to speed with what the nasty apostates are blithering on about. They must pick up on some of the terms.. )
