i was born in the religion but why on earth do people join this religion?
?.
Low hanging fruit.....easy pickings.....
The society openly acknowledges this behaviour by encouraging going after those "who are sighing and groaning over the world" etc... people who feel weighed down...people who can't get themselves out of a paper bag...
this is my second topic here.
sorry for this biiig post.
i would like to tell you guys about one of the things that bothered me most, despite of being something quite simple, but since it affected me directly, so.... well, being a ministerial servant, i knew the bad view the jw in general have towards beards.

Well done.
The real problem is that you dared to ask questions!
You dared to THINK for yourself along non approved lines.....

use this outline for the tuesday service talk from september 2017 through february 2018. you will need to prepare your own 30-minute service talk for use after the watchtower study.

Well said sir!
Excellent comparison
i come from a catholic background, but most recently had been with the churches of christ.
i have contacted my local congregation and will be talking with someone tomorrow, hopefully setting a study up for next week.
i want to study scripture, but also want to immerse myself in everything jw publishes.
The JW.org religion does an amazing job of turning people AWAY from any form of faith in a divine entity (God)
2 for me 1 from my old congro in the 80's and another that was in the same circle of friends.. karter..
I wish! I have thrown out enough clues...and some in our area of the world have awoken I believe...but perhaps they are not on this forum.
However, I have made some great new friends via this forum!

Hahahaha!
The very notion of "dobbing" or "ratting" on a "friend" is proof it is a cult.
Anyway, that idea the outline says about "reporting them if they don't do so themselves in a reasonable amount of time" did NOT happen in my case.
The "rat" that reported me for being on "apostate sites" didn't even talk to me! I found out only AFTER the elders all held an "emergency meeting" about me!.
When I questioned the elder as to why "scriptural procedures were not applied in my case, he replied "Those steps of Matthew do not apply for Apostasy"
Yep...right...so the Society's procedures trump the Bible's?
after being a jw made me lose trust in religion, from the lies, hypocrisy and greed of this organization made me lose faith completely.
what does one do after this mind f$%@, what is there to look forward to?
do i make up my own agnostic theory in head and hope for the best?
Great thread.
"Faith" should not replace LOGIC, FACTS and EVIDENCE.
It is for that reason that I no longer subscribe to any religious system.
I thank the WT society in part for helping me to see that all "faiths" are based on FOG (Fear Obligation Guilt) and NOT on evidence.
marrying out of the truth !!.
