Common Sense Defies The Society

by shamus in

how can you explain to a person that "god is love" then explain disfellowshipping to them, even though the person who is the "prodigal son" is forgiven instantly?

witnesses say that this is just an illustration.. they forgot to tell you that all they're teachings are from illustrations that jesus used.

they use double speak in this regard.

I don't know how they can even know the true heart condtion of different ones. When it came out that me and my ex got involved before we got married i got put into a JC. They asked a million pryining Questions and I put on a good show. I had them truely fooled and I just got private reproof. So just as easily they could look past the heart of a person who may have a problem with communicating his or her emotions and DF a repentant one. If they really wanted to do it right they would let the ultamate judge handle these matters.

by Sara Annie in

in a minimus moment, i find myself interested in knowing which buzz-words and phrases in jw publications stand out the most to you?

when i read wt literature, i constantly find myself astounded by how transparently cultish the language is.

in an earlier, unrelated thread, i said the following: .

Awake on taxes asleep on chronology.

by shotgun in

if you have a copy of the december awake magazine dealing with taxes note the first page of the article.. the wt uses two quotes to show taxes have been a concern for thousands of years.. the first quote is from a babylonian artifact dated to 2300 bce.

the problem that presents is that only 69 years previous the world had been destroyed by a global flood according to wt chronology.

which means that in a mere 69 years noah and his three sons have produced a nation with sufficient infrastructure to require taxation.

Now you see what really happened is being that they were closer to perfection the women could cary a baby to full term in 2 days after conception. than the child would grow to full reproductive capability in a week thus being able to produce a nation within a short number of years. LOL

What Regrets Did You Have Because You Were A Witness?

by minimus in

one of the biggest regrets a person might have is that they let their children become involved in the whole jw "thing".

you know---everything from the elders always cornering them to "investigate" something or even having the parents "turn in" their own kids......is there anything that you especially regret?

freelife

I regret that i had to marry a jw. With my luck she was a total PSYCHO!!!!! She even admitted to me when we were breaking up that she was crazy!!! but she was a "good" pioneer sister LMAO. I also regret not playing sports in school. And i regret getting cheated out of living life to its fullest.

((((((((Shy))))))) It may be hard for you now but, just remember that you will have friends here who know what you are going through. The other df'ed ones on this site are sometimes the only family that each of us have in some cases. Keep in touch with the family here on the site and we will try to help you through the tough times ahead.

Some advice that i have to give is be true to yourself don't push yourself into doing things that you are not ready to do yet. Think about things very carefully before you do them. Still though don't be afraid to experience life.When you open up your eyes to the real world will see the real TRUTH in life.

Best wishes to you
