Now if we add "Christ" to the word "anti", wait a minute, wait, oh shit!!, I got it! That means someone that is opposed to the Christ! The Antichrist!! Jesus (literally) call a special meeting for this Friday, yes I know we have it every Wednesday, but this is huge!! We can pin this shit on the apostates right now!! Losch is going to die!!

So goes the thinking of these moronic imbeciles who can't see THEY are the ones that have shunned Jesus since adopting the incorrect name of Jehovah.

Hello Alex.

Thank you for sharing your story. You are right, it's not easy to break free from mental enslavement and those that do, suffer greatly. But more importantly it's having someone to talk to and listen while your feelings are shared.

There are a lot of good people on this board that have gone through the same exact thing as you. You are by no means alone or unique. The WTS has an iron grip on its members not physically but mentally. The mind controls the body so if your mind is enslaved your body merely carries out your mind's desire. It's rather evil what the WTS has done since its inception. I too, like you, sometimes question things like the Adam and Eve narrative. The Noah flood and the killing of innocent babies.

I would definitely advise you to make as many "worldly" friends as possible including those on this board that may live near you. It's incredible to me how blind a person really is when they are mentally enslaved. I, like you, also questioned things like why if the WTS teaches the truth why they would prohibit the reading of material critical of their teachings. Why, if Jesus taught love, patience, and acceptance, are we told in a very generalizing way (propaganda method) that ALL worldly people that do not bow down to them are EVIL. And like you clearly point out, why, if Jesus sat with sinners and even other sinners criticized him for it, does the WTS feel they can impose shunning. This is another matter where the bible contradicts itself. Paul advises brothers to not say hello, eat, or associate with those that profess to be brothers yet are sinners, yet Jesus teaches to "love our neighbor", and how that commandment in itself, everything rested on including all of the prophets of old. So, like you, I truly wonder, who is right. Paul or Jesus. I don't recall seeing in any bible an asterisk next to the word "love" when Jesus spoke of it, to only include those people who were righteous.

I feel your pain brother. Trust me, many of us on this board feel your pain and we are right there with you. Feel free to PM me whenever you need it.

I wish you the very best and stay strong. Yes! Living happy and to the fullest is the best revenge. Enjoy life, enjoy freedom, live, and live well.

Bro Loesch's talk.

by New day in

recently i heard through video link to our kh a talk by bro loesch where he attacked university study (again) but this time he prefaced his remarks by saying, and i quote, "the faithful slave does not forbid you to go to university.

" so this was a bad start as his following remarks made it clear that this was just a way of seeming reasonable while basically saying that we shouldn't do it.

he went on to use an illustration i think he has used before about a man with ocd who decided to kill himself.

Losch is a hypocrite.

He talks down on higher education yet he makes use of professional people.

The more and more I hear about the university shunning the more I believe these pricks know a wider audience would awaken by learning critical thinking skills. Skills readily found in a college education.

Ideas how to answer a jw friend

i faded completely (no kh visits or field service).. just recently a close friend from the kh wrote:.

"dear daniel.

it's a pity that we don't see you anymore at the kingdom hall.

Tenacious

Dear Jane:

Thank you for writing.

I can certainly appreciate your concern for me but it is I that is concerned for you.

I hope that you will one day realize that God cannot accept worship that is tainted with lies being that Satan is the father of the lie.

I wish you the very best.

Signed

Anointed, Crazy, Overzealous, or Good Acting?

by Tenacious in

i don't believe for a second that the wts can be god's chosen organization, if he does have an earthly one, especially one with such a hypocritical past.

but the question begs; why are there people professing having the heavenly calling usually found in the wts?.

does anyone know or have heard of other denominations having the genuine heavenly calling?.

Tenacious

@ OTWO - that is a very striking and thought provoking list. Thank you.

I have always had a problem seeing how such a loving God could annihilate babies and yet Jesus condemned violence. Did he have his reasons? Probably so. But this human has a hard time accepting them.

We were treated pretty badly by others in the KH.

Yep, that sounds about right. If her partaking did not fit in with the current WTS narrative I can definitely see this.

I'm sorry you had to experience this. These maggots think they have the right to dictate someone else's spirituality.

I haven't really had anyone answer with any real substance to my question. I find it very striking that these people would "feel" the need to partake. And they happen to be JW's.

Deceiving statements in The Watchtower (Study Edition) September 2015

by opusdei1972 in

on page 9, paragraph 7:.

neither a branch office nor the local congregation elders are authorized to make health-care decisions for a witness, even if he asks what to do.

It's the same old story about the not requiring anyone to do anything yet disobeying their non-biblical edicts have consequences.

And of course the evil, evil universities and their incredible power to lure people away from slavery *cough, I mean God.

I just find it odd that out of the 8 million + that attended the memorial almost 14,000 of these would take a sip and a bite.

Mildly meditating can only do so much for a person. Deep meditation can certainly bring about an almost euphoric peaceful state.

Speaking in tongues and yet teaching biblical falsities is not from God so I would rule the Pentis out.

That still leaves the 14k and counting.

New Watchtower-- the End is coming in our lifetime again now??

by FusionTheism in

they just posted the simplified august study watchtower on jw.org.. paragraph 11 of the "expectation!

" article says this:.

"so even if we feel that we have been waiting a long time, this does not mean that the end is far away or that it is not coming in our lifetime.".

Tenacious

Self-preservation.

The WTS has been using the "death at Armageddon" card since its inception.

Think about it. What's more important to a human being than preserving their own life?

Sprinkle some biblical truths on top of that and you have blind acceptance to do with the person as you wish.

Not too long ago I overheard an elder tell a teen in our hall that he wouldn't see high school. The teen made the mistake of telling the elder he wanted to be an engineer. The first chance I got I pulled that kid aside and told him that no one knows when the end will come and that choosing to attend a university is his and his decision alone. The kid agreed and later on I heard his parents did too.
