  Are Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY Welcomed Here?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in view of the fact that there are mostly ex-witnesses on this forum, the question is," are jw's truly welcomed here?".

  it seems to me that if a poster supports the witnesses in any way, that they will know about it.

  SanFranJim,

  I remember thinking a lot about the Bereans before I read my first internet criticism of the WTBTS. I wondered why we were taught early on in our studies with JWs the example of the Bereans; but then we were told later not to question the org. I could see it didn't make sense. I wonder if the Gov. Bod. holds the Bereans up as an example as much these days?

  I believe that the WTBTS tends to attract fragile people who are in incredible pain. Those people are attracted to the idea that Armegeddon is coming any moment and their problems will be instantly solved. In the face of glaring problems in the org., those same people will cling for dear life to the org. because to let go will take away their hope of the "Armegeddon Quick Fix" to all of their problems. To let go of that "Quick Fix" idea would mean they would have to face life again and figure out their own solutions. Many of those people are ill prepared to do that because of the lack of education and financial planning and resources.

  A scary thing it is to face the fact that Jehovah isn't going to rescue you and your family anytime soon. I believe with all my heart that this is why my older sister and my youngest brother cling so hard to the org.

  Minimus,

  I agree. Let them come here, because if they are truly reading the posts it will affect their views of the org. No matter how much they convince themselves it will not. The Gov. Bod. knows this. That's why they tell JWs to throw"apostate literature" in the trash and not to read a single word. If their organization was so wonderful and true, the WTBTS would not worry about their critics. They would say something like: "Sure, go ahead and read the literature of our critics. We have nothing to hide and we will stand."

  I only read page one of the posts on this thread. I hope this post will not be redundant. Here goes though:

  JWs are cautioned strongly by the WTBTS to stay away from "apostate sites" one the net. They are supposed to guard themselves against such"dangerous thinking". I feel like if they invade "apostate sites" then they are rebelling against the Gov. Bod by even reading enough to sign up for the site much less reading the posts and commenting on them.

  No matter how faithful they claim to be, they are just rebels in JW clothing. Something is amiss in their faithfulness to the WT org. because they would run miles in the other direction from JW Discussion Forum if they were truly heartfelt and faithful JWs.

  I think they are here because they have doubts, no matter how much they argue to the contrary. They are confused and being here will rub off on them. Someday they will leave the org. If they do stay it will only be in body and not in spirit.

  BerylBlue,

  What you said is true, we are all beautiful in our own way. I think it's truly sad that anyone would feel they had to have implants to be appealing to men. Grace Kelly, Katherine Ross, Goldie Hahn, her daughter Kate Hudson and Julia Stiles all have A cups and they don't apologize for them. A lot of men find them very attractive, too.

  I've seen Pam on any and every talk show including Sharon Osbourne for the past three months. It doesn't ever seem like she is promoting anything; but she seems to wear wife beater tee shirts and tight sweaters to make sure we know she has some newer, bigger (but not more natural looking) implants.

  She does once in a while mention that she is a sunday school teacher and in the same breath she talks about her little cartoon Stripperella. She complained to Sharon that Stripperella should be drawn with bigger boobs and a smaller waist. Pam also proudly tells of the pole she has in her bedroom. She uses it to perform like a stripper for whoever. Not Kidrock...he's on the outs right now. What a classy couple they made, don't you think?

  Sanfran Jim. In addition to you, there are lots of men who don't care for the Pam types. I can tell a lot about a man by whether or not he does or doesn't find appealing. I had a guy friend who told me my sweetheart must be gay because he cannot stand Pam Anderson. My guy friend just couldn't believe that some men don't prefer that cheap porn actress look or the bad acting skills. If you can call them acting skills.

  I have seen pics of Pam with no makeup. She isn't that pretty without it. I don't think she is ugly. I'd like to see her tone down the white blonde hair and soften the makeup. She needs to lose the implants and quit buying clothes off strippers and streetwalkers. If she just had a more tasteful look and stuck with commercials or gameshows...spared us from her non acting skills, we might all take her concern for chickens more seriously. Remember Charlene Tilton that played Lucy on Dallas? She was blonde and busty but more natural and cute as she could be. Much easier to take seriously. Here's a bigger copy of that before and after you were trying to display. ~Heather S~

  I have a wonderful non jw/ non exjw sweetheart. He is very supportive and loving when it comes to my recovery from the borg. He is the one who encouraged me to read more "apostate" sites on the net. He encouraged me to read A Crisis Of Conscience. He was raised Catholic but left the church. He became an agnostic/athiest....that is until we met. Now he is convinced, as is his very Catholic family, that God brought us together. I want to believe they are right. I mean it would be easier for me to believe if the JWs didn't drill it into my head that I am evil and God couldn't possibly be interested in helping me. But our relationship is so good for us both I can't help wondering....

  My ex JW told me no one was going to want me or put up with me when he divorced me. My ex hasn't dated because no one wants to listen to his constant bitter complaining about me. I thought he'd burn rubber going back to the meetings when I told him he was scripturally free. He didn't. He is still inactive.

  What JW Teaching Did You Never Quite Totally Accept???

  by minimus in

  since i was raised a witness, it was only as i got older that i started to "think" about what i was teaching and believing.

  but even as a young teen, i never accepted the thought that 1975 was going to be the end of the "system of things" and the beginning of the "new system".

  i just didn't quite believe that.........what belief or teaching did you have a "hard time swallowing"?

  Objects being demonized. I thought the whole thing sounded like an awful lot like superstition. Was it any different from, say: the pagan who thought there were evil spirits residing in a nearby tree stump?

  Babies unfortunate enough not to take that first breath not getting a resurrection.

  "Don't worry, if your baby breathes the breath of life it will get a resurrection."<... Said to me when my unborn baby was very ill with Rh hemolitic anemia. That upset me.Soon after, my sister, with fervor and gusto, shows me a new questions from readers reasoning that babies born dead probably weren't going to get a resurrection. She interpreted it to say babies most definitely would not get one unless they took at least one gasp. This did not make sense and so I researched it in the AID book. I saw that all of us get the breath of life indirectly from God through Adam.

  I believe they taught that bull to try to stop anyone from even considering an abortion.

  The "deep" things they came up with including the whole Revelation: Its Climax Still At Hand book. I did wonder why they made rules on things that were not mentioned in the Bible such as smoking, oral sex, masterbation, etc.
