by nowwhat? in

don't know which saturday it is but it's an open house for the surrounding community.

while on the your tour group , ask tough questions about the organization's policies on pedophiles and shunning.

do this as a concerned citizen and not a "raging apostate" .

Ask them if Armageddon came right in that moment, would all babies that were born to non believers be killed?

If we are further away from perfection, why are we more moral?

by stuckinarut2 in

as we know, witnesses teach that adam and eve were perfect and then committed the first act of sin and rebellion.. they in turn were cursed,and we all declined as their offspring.

humans supposedly lived shorter and shorter lives, and became more imperfect and sinful.. the further away in time humans go then, they should be getting worse.

so why is it then that as a society, humans have actually improved in so many ways?.

However, if we as a society truly base ourselves on ancient judeo ethics, we should be treating women as property, and keeping slaves. We should punish people (including children) by throwing rocks at them until they die....

If you are a male, wear a tight fitting stylish suit, bright socks and a man-bag.

If you are a woman, wear spanx (spandex)

Ask if ToMo3 is available to sign an autograph!

Cirencester Congregation UK: My story

by erbie in

dear all,.

i have been a member here for some years although mostly in the background.

many of you have bravely shared your own experiences and i am very grateful for that but i have never been open about my own experience.. nevertheless, i would be very grateful to those of you who would now take the time to read about my own personal journey from the jw religion and the circumstances that caused me to abandon that way of life and how i landed up where i am.

stuckinarut2

Wow! So sorry for the things you have had to go through in life!

Well done in maintaining your dignity, poise and grace throughout it all though.

Now you have a chance to take control of your own happiness and the direction your life takes. Only you can now decide to regain happiness.

Much love!

New "paradise" video preview? "Will you be there?"

by stuckinarut2 in

my wife (unstuck) just saw a new 2-3 min video in her ex jw facebook feed, depicting a "paradise" scene preview.. it was complete with aerial shots and slow motion montages, with moving music.. scriptures were quoted across the screen, such as rev 21:3,4. i shazamed the music, and it came from another "worldly" album called "world of dreams.future world music" (you should see the song titles from that album!).

is it an official wt video, or some private persons production?.

if it is official, they seem to have once again resorted to desperate emotional manipulation tactics..... anyone else know?

stuckinarut2

So do we think that this is an official JW video??

Bible times and the Middle Ages were terrible times to live! Life was cheap and readily taken. Human rights were non existent.

For instance, in bible times, women and girls were simply property to be abused as men wished. Even Gods nation could fight the neighboring lands and take the women and virgins off as captives for their "use".

We rightly find such conduct deplorable nowadays!

Also, people could be brutally stoned to death for disobeying some sort of (often petty) rule.

We find that also deplorable today!

So why have we improved as a society even though we are now so "far from perfection"?

Thanks for your comments everyone.

The video I was describing in the opening post was not the one from the 2016 convention.

It was a different one. I will try and work out how to upload it from the Facebook post...

Watch this space....

So has anyone else seen this? Is it an official WT video, or some private persons production?

If it is official, they seem to have once again resorted to desperate emotional manipulation tactics....

Anyone else know? Anyone else seen it?

Disfellowshipped people are dead people?

by snugglebunny in

jw
friends

skimming though my iphone earlier today i came across a fb post - which i now can't find!.

basically it was a claim that a gb member had stated that associating with a disfellowshipped person was akin to sleeping next to a corpse.. so obviously i'm curious as to whether anyone else has come across this..

stuckinarut2

It was said by GB member Lett during a broadcasting episode a few months back.

Ill try and find the right one....
