  Rejoice cos God's tent is.... Disintegrated by a cat 5 truth storm

  by Normalfulla in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just had to share... a former friend of my wife's, has just left our house, unbeknown to us, her and her husband have been inactive for about a year and a half, they have pre teen boys too.

  she reached out to my wife as she had heard that we were apostates etc and needed someone to talk to.. .

  after her father dying she was in a bad place mentally and emotionally and reached out to her cong for support, apon receiving 0 she turned to the bible for comfort only in her raw emotional state to realize that jehovah was a murderous unfair god and then her wheels of rational reasoning started turning.. she questioned things and was outspoken about things and attracted elder attention... long story short she wanted to connect with a friendly ear and she splurged she's never going back, the bible is all bulls**t and it's a cult, despite not knowing most of ttatt we all shared experiences and watched her eyes boggle at (stuckinarut... the first euphoric high) the un scandal, beth sarim, ray franz, 607, arc.

  Wow WingCommander, sad but typical. Those friends who rented a van and took time off . . . What JWs would do that? They were far more Christ like than the JW "True Christians"®

  JWs and daily Bible reading schedule

  by AuntBee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws often point to this, to show outsiders they are allowed to read the bible on their own without the publications.

  although, as we know, the org still teaches that you will never progress along the road to life without the pubs.

  and, i would imagine that what they learn/conclude from their own bible reading, must remain within the confines of current wt teaching, even on the most minute points of doctrine.

  I've lost count of how many times I've read the Bible cover to cover of the decades, but looking back there was only ONE time where I really learned a lot: in 2016 when I wasn't wearing my dogma goggles, just reading it without preconceptions and going where the answers led me. All the other times were for the most part a futile exercise of a JW rule/custom that doesn't allow real growth in practice.

  With the ramped up talk are the governing body trying to coerce Jehovah to bring on Armageddon?

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i loathe hypothetical questions on this forum.

  but i got the honest impression that they are so delusional they can bring on armageddon with all their talk and jehovah will have no choice but to act.

  ( not that i believe in armageddon anymore).

  nowwhat?

  I get what you're saying. The GB definitely have a lot of con artist in them, and they at least subconsciously know it's all false, otherwise they wouldn't suppress information, worry about legalities, and scheme for the future. Still, at times there are decisions they make or words they say that just make you wonder how delusional they are, and to what extent certain ones of them believe.

  Affected by assembly

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi - first some context - i have been pimo for about 20 years now and so have been to a lot of assemblies in that time.

  last weekend i went to a circuit assembly and for the first time afterwards i was able to talk directly to someone who knows i'm out.

  i realised then that although i didn't agree with any teachings (i sat picking holes in the arguements as usual) the experience of being there had affected me - the way of life started feeling normal as did the overall way of viewing the world.

  I too used to be suckered by the singing at conventions and get waves of emotions. Now, the veneer is gone, and the echoing voices over the sound system sound like propaganda, and the singing strikes me as a creepy display of delusional uniformity.

  PIMO for 20 years, wow! I'm just over a year and a half myself. I don't know how you do/did it, but congrats on achieving a measure of mental clarity and peace with yourself, as much as can be expected in your situation, that is.

  Armageddon started...

  by mikeflood in

  1. social
  2. current

  just joking i really don't think so...but the situation in syria is pretty worrisome...just hearing the news that france and great britain are attacking with cruise missiles in 72 hours.

  i mean assad is not gonna gasify his adversaries when he almost won the civil war.

  trump too suspended a very important trip to the latinoamerican presidents summit in peru, just to 'oversee the american response to syria.

  just imagine if the predictions of the bible unfolded before our very eyes

  Yeah except . . . the Bible doesn't actually predict any of that stuff, all JW interpolation. Which reminds me: How do the King of the North and the King of the South fit with regards to Syria? 😜

  Great compilation Vanderhoven7, this is a bookmarker for sure. The really frustrating part is that most of these quotes are not on WT Library, and hard copies are getting more and more rare as Hall's consolidate and 'book burnings' commence. The one currently available gem in here would be from the 1968 WT, the quote about how it may be weeks or months, but not years. This is still on WT Library 👍
