please spend a couple hours and get yourself familiar with the ancient structures at petra.. we live in a civilization of deceit.it's becoming harder to sort fact from fiction as i keep looking behind all of the curtains..
Here's the link to the Petra video.
Pay close attention to the erosion on the site.
I had no idea the size of the site and the FACT that most of it is unexplored due to the law.

I apologize for the whistle in the woman's voice in nearly every word that starts with "sh".
We all know what happens when an organization withholds truth from the public.

I got to alignment of sacred sites before I giggled and turned it off.
That's not giving new information a chance.
It's up to you.
i am a male, born into the jw cult(ure), baptized as a teen, now mid fifties.
most of my life i dreamed of hugging pandas and lions, punctuated at times by nightmares of armageddon or jw drama and politics.
still going through the motions for still-in wife.
Nice to see you posting.
Waking up is painful and seeing people trapped in the cult is horrifying ( not happy-fying )
My story is full of pain, like many of us here.
I have made some mistakes that outed me.
Ended up DF'd for 'admitted apostasy'.
I make no apologies for honesty.
My top advice is to only speak truth.
If asked a question, respond calmly and slowly.
Insist that your listener addresses the topic.
Pick your battles. You do not compromise your own personal integrity by choosing to remain silent on whatever subject you choose.

I left about three years ago.
My wife and I are closer than ever, yet she remains a JW.
She's at the WT study as I type this.
Stay focused and positive.
the bible tells us that noah etc lived to 500yrs old as did many other characters who lived apparently to incredible years.. yet archaeological research tells us from looking at skeletons that have been dug up that the average lifespan was very short.
if a man got to the age of 50 they would have considered that quite an achievement.
when i was in i always wondered about this?
Also noteworthy is the FACT that all of the ancient megaliths around the world ( that cannot be duplicated using modern methods ) and are set on the earth to near mathematical perfection. ( limiting factor is the nature of pi )
Yeah, goat herders did it all.
Stone quarrying, stone machining, and stone moving tent dwellers that forgot to record the details of construction.
Uh-huh...

Yes.
The official story has not been told.
This video series: Secret in Plain Sight.
If you thought waking up from JWs was a mind bender, you are in for a real shock.
I warn you in advance.
If you have no fear of math, then dig in.

urghhh... what a disgusting study!7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.
for example, a sister named anne received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.
the mother wanted to visit anne because she felt pained by her isolation from the family.
Enforcing cruel shunning is not 'human'.
...may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.
Give up your humanity for a money making cult, that could be part of an international pedophile ring?
Where do I sign up?!?
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20131115/seven-shepherds-eight-dukes/.
from paragraph 17-. at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. i think i know what the instructions will be.it's nothing new.
I am now sure how continuing to donate another cent to this house of greed could be considered " sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."
They are just openly stealing at this point.
Not even hiding it, as they sell off real estate and claim to be broke, guilting the JWs to give beyond their financial means.
Deficits after every assembly day since the eldurrs just 'voted' to give the cash on hand away to HQ without the permission of the r&f.
It's all ugly. JWs do not realize they are slaves to WTBTS for the purpose of generating tax free income and providing free labor.
these well known words from the bible are so interesting!.
"come to me all who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you"...etc.... .
is it refreshing to be witness?.
I have this very verse printed out and on my refrigerator.
For two years, now.
i saw she went under the handle of lovejahforever.....she said she is very smart and had cleaning jobs and was going in the ministry this morning.. when she told me she looked forward to beating me (she won the first game) she sid she was smart because she's a jehovah's witness.
my response was we will see how smart she is.. what next?
any suggestions??
You might have to step up your game, then!
Use words like:
worldy
doubter
weak
wicked
opposer
inactive
Save 'apostate' until it really helps your overall score!
