Great campagne in Portugal (ex-JW)

by TJ Curioso in

i like to tell you what we've been doing these past few days here in portugal (ex-jw).

we create a brochure and printing, so we can send to the maximum of congregations in portugal.

some individuals were also covered in this campaign.. the title of the pamphlet is: "when will the kingdom arrive?".

Boa ideia. I live in the U.S, but my parents are from Portugal (Azores) :)

i really can't wrap my head around how people can still consider god loving with such atrocious biblical accounts such as, 1 samuel 15, (god ordering the slaughter of amelikite baby's and children) 2nd kings 2, forgot the verses (god sending bears to maul 42 children) and many others.have you ever asked a witness or anyone elsewhat they think about these accounts?

what was their response?

i'd love to ask one, but unfortunately i'm still physically in the cult and i wouldn't want to raise any suspicions.

Nearly all JW's are homophobes. I'm personally having a hard time dealing with all the homophobia as a gay person myself stuck in this cult

Captain America and The Avengers!

by Cold Steel in

does the wts oppose movies such as thor, captain america, and the avengers on the basis of thor/loki's godhood and captain america's patriotic bent?

or do they let artistic license slide for such movies?.

how about super hero movies in general?.

Just saw the new Captain America movie. Loved it!

Just heard the special talk about why God allows suffering. Ugh... can't believe I used to believe this crap. What do you all think of the universal sovereignty issue? Do you think it's a valid reason for a "loving" God to allow suffering?

Did anyone in the congregation discourage you from going to college?

by Trapped in JW land in

i remember being out on service with an elder when i was 17. he asked me what i plan on doing after high school.

i told him i was thinking of going to college to be a teacher.

he then asked me, "do you think this system is going to be around that long"?

I remember being out on service with an elder when I was 17. He asked me what I plan on doing after high school. I told him I was thinking of going to college to be a teacher. He then asked me, "Do you think this system is going to be around that long"? I immediately felt guilty for even thinking about college. I decided to pioneer after high school instead and have never been able to find a decent job. Thankfully, I finally decided to go back. I don't really give a crap what anyone thinks anymore. I'm pursuing my education and it feels great. I just wish I had gone sooner. I probably would have had a better job and be out of the house and away from this crazy cult.
