when i first came to this forum i was of the belief that those of us who were still in due to family reasons were few in numbers perhaps one in a thousand in the jws.
soon i came to the realization that there were many more.
we have dozens of posters here who are mentally out but still in.
Im still in cos of the family and some friends. My whole family is deeply in. Its hard to be mentally alone. I doubt in my Cong there's and underg apostates. Most of them are not intellectual enough to think for themselves.
I am sure there are some in other Cong's tho
i'm new here but not new to researching and questioning the jw beliefs.
i have quite a story.... one that's been haunting me for awhile... but first, i'd like to hear what people have to say about this topic question, please.. -gigi.
enforced clean shavenness the mark of the beast.
the love of many becoming cold..... any other ideas as to why or why not?.
you have the opportunity to sit and discuss what's on your mind.. what would you tell them??.
my question, do you men have a heart, how do you sleep at nights??.
why do you think jehovah pick you to feed the sheep??.
My questions to them will be:
How exactly do you receive new light from Jehovah through Jesus?
Do you feel a zing in your head like " oh that's it . holy spirit zinged me new light"?
You guys are really not going to heaven right?
jehovah's witnesses claim no one is disfellowshipped for pursuing higher education.
somehow it seems there must be some halfwit sorry excuse for an elder somewhere who personally felt threatened by over educated young whippersnappers and decided to mark every nerd he could point his sweaty little finger with.
i don't understand the relevance of the first picture in this weeks study article?!?!.
wt week of december 15-21 "cherish your privilege of working with jehovah".
can someone post the pic?.
They mean we should be cherish service in the org because of the new headquarters project.
So silly.
I was shocked that in one of the paragraphs they say JWs should accept every explanation given without questioning because it is from Jehovah. How can people in the 21st century write something as stupid and non sensible as this. Oh I forgot about mind control.
who is to blame jehovahs witnesses and the bible students believing the end was coming in 1914?
ive been reading lots of older magazines and they are so different from todays watchtower!
the current writers from the organization blame everyone except themselves for failed expectations, failed prophecy, "financial ruin and dependance on the goverment "old age social security and medicaid" on their rank-and-file members.
The writers themselves are deeply indoctrinated and too mind controlled to see that what they are writing is bullshit.
while there are not too many currently defending the watchtower in this discussion forum, it happens from time to time.
and quite often, there may be new people and lurkers reading these discussions.
i just wanted you to ponder these questions.
Hi committeechairman, I think you haven't written enough. Write more to help doubting JWs wake up!
so when at all will other jws wake up from their deep mind control and realize its all lies???.
i can't wait to see jws wake up from their control like it happened in "the stepford wives".. .
So when at all will other JWs wake up from their deep mind control and realize its all lies???
I can't wait to see JWs wake up from their control like it happened in "The Stepford Wives".
so, i was reading combating cult mind control....and i was just thinking: since i've been doing research and learning about the false doctrines of the wtbs and others who are still asleep.
the more i accept that all is not right, the more i see the depression that many in the org.
are going through, the more i see the "human" side of things, the more i compare the average uber dub to the average mainstream christian.....the more i recognize how this cannot be jah's organazation.
This is how I'm feeling right now. Sometimes its just too hard listening to their propaganda but we just have to hang in there because of family. Many dubs don't have a clue the kind of influence they are in.
The time will come when we will make our decisions clear.
