  Why I'm rejoining the JWs

  by Fred Franztone in

  2. friends

  dear brothers and sisters.

  after many years outside of the truth, living as an atheist, i have come to realise that i have been on the wrong path.

  the fool has said in his heart that there is no god, and i have been a fool.

  Regarding this so called judgment message..

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  will our fearless leaders the gb call a news conference and invite all the major news networks and outlets and put their asses on the line and declare "you are all doomed!

  " or will they have the rank and file do all the dirty work while they sit back in their gated corporate country club?!

  ask any jdub that question!.

  WT has used this tactic for years. I believe they use it to keep all the dubbies in line. You should hear how fearful some of our relatives are of things like this.

  Just another cult tactic!

  Satan is "bullying" you through family

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just thought i'd share this ridiculous picture from a recent watchtower.

  in recent years, the word bullying has been thrown around a lot, and often misused by instigators and subtle bullies themselves.

  in this picture we learn that your loving family who wants to continue sharing a family tradition with you, who hands you a beautifully wrapped present with a smile on their face, is in fact bullying you.

  This is funny!!! Someone is trying to do something nice by giving the JW a gift and that is "Satan being a bully." The stories that I could tell (and many on here could tell too) about Elders and CO's downright bullying members that they are supposed to be "shepherding."

  Countless talks from the GB that were downright bullying and insulting (remember the 23 yr old MS talk?). That was a direct insult and bullying from Anthony Morris. A shameful talk that should have NEVER been given. The list goes on and on.

  What a disgusting/corrupt/abusive cult we were once a part of!

  Cheap Shots Fired

  2. beliefs

  when @brian j’s “bullet in the head” thread went live (https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4747450574176256/session-8-bullet-head) those written shots echoed in my mind.

  a week later while overhearing a bible study, the conductor was asked if god really has given us “free will”.

  but if someone ever put a gun to my head and asked me to renounce my faith as a jehovah’s witness, i would die.”.

  "But if someone ever put a gun to my head and asked me to renounce my faith as a Jehovah’s Witness, I would die."

  The genuine response from a cult member. They would drink the kool aid too. It's easy to say that when you have never had a gun put to your head. Ask someone who has really had a gun put to their head. Easier said than done.

  Most of these "men" would cower in the corner if real persecution came knocking at their door.

  Fantastic! Even some of the most uber of the uber are waking up. I appreciate what he said about the apostates. They are not the evil devils that WT paints them to be.

  The internet and JW Broadcasting are shining a light on these cockroaches!

  Thank you for posting the link!

  My turning point: The anti higher education talks, cheered on by a bunch of old men in NY who have never lived in the real world.

  Oh...there is just too many to list.

  the wt is at it again it seems.

  playing dirty as it can, trying to silence dissenters.. the john cedars channel on youtube has been taken down after the posting of a video critique of regional (district) convention leaked videos.. sounds like something putin would do in russia.

  you know what they say, birds of a feather fly together--what a murder of crows all of'em!.

  So, I went to the memorial service of a man I have known since childhood...

  by Captain Schmideo2 in

  2. friends

  i have been on a fade for years, so this is the first time i have been in a kh for months.the deceased was barely 52 when he died.

  from cancer.

  one year younger than me.the memorial was the standard "read the obituary column word for word, then do the jw commercial for 25 minutes" plus a new twist (to me), they played a video called "around the corner" https://youtu.be/tfccoyp0vsu.
