I recently learned TTATT and it really sickens me when I sit through the meetings. I am so tired of faking things. I feel like vomiting when annoying things are said from the platform. I feel so tired from pretending. But for now I cant leave because the cost will be too great. My whole family is JW and until I become independent I cant leave.
So for those still stuck inside and have all family members inside, how do you cope? Do you just go along with every crap in the org?
i ask you to consider this scenario:.
a devoutly born-again christian man, who strives to live every facet of his life in accordance with what is written in the gospels, spends all of his time helping the poor, reading his bible cover-to-cover, living an austere life and genuinely feels that his life is motivated by his love of christ.
a real christian in practice, both public and private.
Yes as an awakened JW everyone can be saved.
If JWs now believe they aren't the only ones who will be saved as the website says, then why must we go out and preach for people to come to the organization. The preaching work is useless because it directs people to the Watchtower not Jesus
jws refrain from voting in the political elections saying politics belongs to satan (in obvious violation of bible statement that secular governments are gods minister on earthromans 13:1-6) being built on american soil, there is no reason to think that jws are ignorant of our founding fathers like benjamin franklin who wrote in his autobiography that good leadership rested on the foundation of moral and spiritual character.
he lists in it 13 virtues (such as contentment, humility ......) he valued the most which became the basis of a chart that he used daily to check his attitude and behaviors!.
he tells us that contentment is the greatest asset one can have (because you may have everything else you can dream of, yet if you do not have contentment, it is like you have nothing), yet it is something you are born with, the essential quality of your being.
People leave their brains outside of the kingdom Hall and go for watchtower refreshment
just a moment ago i came across a (smaller) cult with quite a few similarities to the watchtower.. jw = cooneyites, two-by-twos, "the truth" (and more).
wbts = christian conventions (and more).
ct russell = william irvine.
Lol yeah I can say that to a family member. They'll be shocked beyong compare
i hate to read the wt, but i skimmed the july 15 study edition.
i found many examples of propaganda, of course, but a couple things really stood out.
1) the future of the preaching work.
^^^^LOL hahaha
what was the most outrageous comment you ever heard during a wt study?.
.
please share your experiences..
"We must accept everything the GB gives us, even if we don't understand , we have to humbly accept it"
Eww
the july 15th, 2014 issue of the watchtower has the "life story" of gb member gerrit losch on pages 17-22.. think about it.
this losch love-fest is 6 pages of the current wt!.
that's nearly 20% of the ragazine.. is this the beginning of a series of idolatrous articles indoctrinating jws with gb worship?
I was very shocked by that article. Typical example of GB worship. The worst thing is, sleeping JWs don't even notice that.
i am comparing what an average jw feels (who knows nothing about ttatt) to another jw who knows the ttatt.
let's label the first jw as jw-a and the other jw-b.
please feel free to share your thoughts.. it's normal for positive emotions to rise (e.g.
That is a great observation. Thumbs up!
this is my first time posting here, although i have been a visitor to it for around a year.
after doing a simple google search under "jehovah'switnesses" over a year ago, i found ttat.
i was deeply unhappy with the congregation and decided to educate myself, and boy what an education i have gotten so far.
Great letter and straight to the point!
But don't lose faith in God. He will be by your side to the end and forever
some may remember the time when the private study edition of the wt wasn't to be made available to outsiders, and the df'd.. now, with the recent boe letter, sept 1, 2014, it specifically states that jw.org is making the km available even for df'd individuals.. do you sense a new trend developing?.
