If death is a natural occurrence in the human species, why are we born with the innate feeling to continue living indefinitely?

by Tenacious in

there are some people that do in fact want to die.

I quit the Goodwill :(

by Joliette in

friends

i couldnt take seeing people from the kingdom hall.

you guys wouldnt believe how many jehovahs witnesses shop in the goodwill.

i couldnt take it.

You know it's interesting that scripture clearly says in 1 Timothy 5:8 that "anyone [who] who does not provide for those who are his own ....... has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith."

Scripture does say to put the Kingdom first and all other things will be provided. So the question begs, if being a zealous Witness gets you only as far as the Goodwill for the basics, then obviously, somehow their "worship" and putting the Kingdom first as a Witness, is not being blessed by God. Otherwise, Malachi 3:10 would apply where it says in part, "Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house; and test me out, please in this regard" .... "to see whether I will not open to you the floodgates of the heavens and pour out on you a blessing until there is nothing lacking."

Bottom line, God does not approve of their worship when they are putting the GB first, who claim to speak for God, and His Son a distant, distant second. Again Christ says, " I am the bread of life". I don't know but it seems pretty clear to me.

I had not yet viewed the videos until now.

Your actions are certainly commendable in the spirit of Paul's letter to the friends in Philippi as he wrote:

"I want you to know, beloved, that what has happened to me has actually helped to spread the gospel, 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to everyone else that my imprisonment is for Christ; 14 and most of the brothers and sisters, having been made confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, dare to speak the word with greater boldness and without fear." ~ Philippians 1:12-14

The only thing these disturbances do is get you a free ride to the nutty house with a thorazine drop.

Coming to terms with the Watchtower experience

by Lee Elder in

it is a challenge coming to terms with your experience as a jehovah's witness.

if you were born and raised as a jw, and your parents were true believers, the impact on your life is profound, lasting, and largely negative.

in some cases quite abusive emotionally, spiritually, financially, educationally and yes, even sexually.. i recently watched "trumbo", and was quite moved by dalton trumbo's speech to the screen writers guild in 1970. here is an excerpt that i think is quite relevant to this topic:.

@ OP - I sincerely appreciate the information you have shared with us all but I have to respectfully disagree with you.

If you listen to talks and commentary from the GB one can see that they are deliberate in their use of specific phrases that are used to elicit a specific physiological and psychological response. Simply speaking, they are using mind conditioning techniques on the members. Now the question begs, do they write their own speeches or is there someone else behind the curtain we cannot see?
