  "No more than 40 years"

  by dynamiterose77 in

  2. beliefs

  in another corner of the internet someone stated that witnesses are proclaiming that this system will be no more than 40 years now... that "gog of magog" will start the great tribulation.

  can anyone confirm this latest "prediction"?.

  Artists

  by Incognigo Montoya in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as a child i naturally inherited an interest in art, drawing and painting to be specific.

  being a jw, the paintings and drawings in the literature always caught my eye and piqued my interest.

  as i got older, and bettered my artistic abilities, i was often encouraged to put bethel as a goal, though it was family friends more so than my parents who suggested that i should pursue a bethel career, using my artistic skills.

  Capitalizing names

  by john.prestor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just a random thought here but does anyone else notice than when the name "elder" or "circuit overseer" appears in the organization's magazines and books they're always lower case even though they're proper nouns and should be elder and circuit overseer... but branch committee member, governing body helper, governing body member, they get to be capitalized.

  another subtle indication of how the governing body and other high-ranking elites see themselves, i think.

  Many Jehovah's Witness Leaders and Followers Customize Their Religion to Suit Their Needs

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after observing my jehovah's witness friends and family members for over 50 years it became apparent that the vast majority of "the brothers and sisters" pick and choose the rules and laws that their church/organization what them to follow.. tough the society may state these admonitions as definite "do's and don'ts" many of the church followers put these admonitions in the the "grey zone.".

  the reason being jehovah will give them special dispensation.

  yes, for some odd reason jehovah will cut these people some slack for the same things he must punish others for.

  JW's will NOT like the first months of life in the Paradise! (University Research)

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you ever wondered (when you were an active believer) what life would be like immediately after the big a?.

  in my experience of the pre-big a spiritual paradise most witnesses were aware of the problem posed by the dead bodies of those slain by the bloody minded, would-be mass murderer jesus.

  most liked to quote the author of the revelation, that carrion birds would eat the carcasses.

  "Put on the JW uniform - and take off Humanity"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know about the variation in the "cult persona vs the "real persona" of those in high control groups such as jws.. it struck me this becomes even more pronounced and apparent when jws actually put on their physical meeting or service attire, or are engaged in jw activities.

  they become more robotic as their responses and actions - yes their opinions and discussions- are stripped of humanity and thought, and they become turned into some sort of regurgitating jw orator.. when they literally put on a suit or tie, the level of judgement, arrogance and black and white thinking takes on a whole new level.

  take that clothing off, and put them in casual attire to attend some sort of enjoyable activity (eg sports watching or the like) and they become far more relaxed, and "normal".. i have noticed this particularly with my father.

  Do you remember when you realised it was all bulls£&t

  by moley in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember when my faith left me.

  i used to enjoy meetings and used to participate but then all of a sudden i was finding myself bored shitless at meetings.

  i was taken off the theocratic ministry school for not attending when i was due to give a talk and not long after did something naughty and got disfellowshiped.
