  The WTS destructive image of God.

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after leaving the jws did you alter that severe, unsmiling, exacting, unforgiving ie destructive image of god that the wts was projecting very much in the spirit of the old testament?

  .

  or perhaps did you altogether get rid of a god image?

  My kids asked to go to the local church here, so I took them. The pastor came up to me, and introduced herself to me. She asked me some questions, and I told her, I don't know if I can even believe in god. I mean, I am going to be killed at Armageddon no matter what I do, so why even try. I am not a good dub. Heck, I am not a dub at all. I can't even say I believe in Jesus as god's son. He may have existed, but I just don;t know.

  That's where I am. Is there a god? I don't know. I don't want a mean god as portrayed by the society, I don't know what is out there. I am just starting my journey. But I will never serve a god like that again.

  my 14 year old son never lets me and my husband forget that although he has 4 younger sisters, we have failed in our duties to provide a younger brother.

  when he comes back from vacationing up north, he will be pleased to see he now has a younger brother.

  please welcome ubu!

  Breaking News: Berry girls lose high court appeal

  by loveis in

  2. friends

  with those two short, sweet, words of the nh supreme court, the berry girls 4-year fight to hold the wts responsible has come to an abrupt and bitter end.. a preliminary scan of the opinion indicates a virtual slam-dunk victory for the wts, although there was one dissenting justice out of the four on one issue only, the only female justice of the four.

  (coincidence?

  hmmm......).

  It's so sad. It angers me more than it saddens me.

  JW kids who are currently in college LOVED the convention drama!

  here's a transcript of a post about the 2005 godly obedience convention (which i read about on this board and seemed to highlight a drama in which a biblical story was highly distorted in order to discourage higher education) from a jw youth group on www.myspace.com.

  i already bought 2 door cars, and the witnesses didn't like it... i felt looked down upon, as it was a sin to buy a 2 door car.. now imagine an elder buying a 2 door car....

  I bought a '76 Grand Prix in 91. It was all I could afford. It was $350. I was told that I should have kept on using public transportation until I could save up enough for a four door car. Sorry, but PT did not take me to my job. I had to walk a mile from the bus stop to my job. Forget about buying milk and food for my family.

  Grrrrrr, I still get angry about the way I was treated for buying the car I could afford.

  who escapes more often, those born into it or adult converts?

  by kid-A in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what strikes me on this board is the number of adult converts that have left the borg, either fading out or getting df'd.

  from my experience (i was born into it, 2nd generation, left before getting baptized) most of the faders or escapees were also like.

  me, born into it, never really accepted it and just bowed out at the first opportunity.

  Momofmany - Little Toe on this site also feels he has the heavenly hope and disassociated from the platform as an elder. If your brother feels able to or you would like to on his behalf can i encourage him to get in touch with LT, i believe there may be things in common for them to discuss here.

  I will tell him. I wont give out his info, not without his permission. But I will tell him to feel free to post here, and ask questions. I'm sure he will be wanting to talk with LT.

  I do feel like I have my family back. She emailed me again, and they are coming up this weekend. My SIL will take Mom shopping, so my brother and I can talk. I don't want to bombard him with everything I found, but I am compiling an amount for him to not only read here, but to take home. I'm also have a copy of CC book ordered. I paid extra to have it shipped faster. Hope it gets here before he does.

  I still feel like I am walking on cloud nine here.
