  No one knows what they believe or how to explain the doctrines from the bible.

  Overlapping Generations.
  Significance of 1914.

  They believe but may not question.

  Remember when you 1st learned "The Truth"? Want to experience that tingle in a new way?

  you can't unring a bell once rung.. you can't unknow nor can you forget being deceived, tricked, lied to and misled.. the truly awful aftershock of waking up to the 'truth about the truth' is the death of wonder,.

  belief, and absolute certainty that you know what life is all about.

  in fact, for most of us the path is the same.we begin investigating our foundational belief system.

  I enjoyed the video.
  
  

  It's worth looking at.

  So, why is Antarctica "off limits" by international treaty, then?

  Someone anonymously tipped the elders?

  by raven in

  2. experiences

  so here an update on my current situation, in a nutshell i've been trying to quietly fade for the past 5 months.. well, my mom somehow found out that i am currently fading and that i live with my boyfriend (for more info on this check my previous posts) i told her yes i live with him and yes i no longer want to be a jw.

  anyways, yesterday she met my boyfriend.. awkward.

  and after lunch she pulled me aside to tell me that the po came up to her (he was part of my jc when i was reproved) he said to her "someone came to me and said - i cannot say who so they will remain anonymous- but that your daughter is living with someone" my mom confirmed and apparently he told her that i have one week to confess this, and if i don't my parents are obligated to tell them everything.. what kind of nonsense is that?

  jw strive to follow golden rule by treating others the way themselves would like to be treated so they want to be shunned because they shunn others.

  A couple questions pose to active JWs:

  "Do you follow the golden rule?"

  "Do you really believe sinful JWs want to be shunned?"

  45 Minute Bethel Video about Changes (downsizing) at Watchtower

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't see this posted elsewhere, and i don't have the links besides this facebook one.. but here is a 45-minute long bethel talk about the changes at bethel including addressing the hard feelings of people who were given the axe.

  basically, everything must change.

  we gave remaining bethelites saturday off to do our bidding in "the field" and we give bethelites over 70 an extra day a week off (if you can find any such bethelites).

  I must admit, I have to watch this video in small increments.
  I have not seen it all, yet.

  It's horrible how they string you along, devastate your 'hopes and dreams' and then tell you it's all okay, you can still serve us in the field until you die!

  WOOT!

  My brother died last night

  by LisaRose in

  i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.

  it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.

  there were six of us, now only four.

  I'm sorry life is not how we were told.
  

  My wife is nearly 70. She has one younger sister, two older sisters and one older brother. They were all told they would never grow old in 'this system'.

  Most of her ( my old cong ) are 60 or older, born-in's.
  They are not programmed to accept or even normally mourn death.

  To all:
  Enjoy the life you have and spend your most valuable possession, your time, doing the things that make you happy. That's all we can do.
