This site is BAD for me!!!

by Metamorphosis in

jw
friends

it's making me want to rush the convincing of my wife - i want confrontation now, and i want it to go good, and i want her out with me!

how can you folks do this to me... before starting on this site i was just trying to get by myself w/ my decision - see what you've done!!!!

now i'm convinced i have to talk to her and make her see what i see!!

Down boy ! Aww... take your time...keep reading then, start planting the appropriate seeds for your wife. Hopefully, she'll see what you have already. Be careful about rushing her...I took a long time with my now jw ex-wife. I started questioning things and my meeting attendance was spotty and she went straight to the Elders, telling them I was "spiritually sick" and needed their brand of 'help'.

Within a couple of years, I got demoted to "spiritually dangerous" and she left. So be careful !

And Good Luck ! <------I love getting to say that now !

Could Brooklyn install security systems that would keep us from the know?

by AK - Jeff in

i mean would it be likely that near future all correspondence and letters could come thru a secure connection, presented verbally to elders by the co or do, or in secure digital format that would be able to trace all users and readers -so that it can be kept out of our hands?.

i am not a technical person in that regard - but it would seem possible that this could be done.

true - fading elders would get access - but if there is a digital trail in the system - if it finds it 's way to jwd or other places - they could soon hunt down the culprits.

But...just think of the fun one (1) single, specially trained WT tech will have when one goes, inevitably, apostate.

And what about the older P.O. that's scared of computers, so he gets his teenage son to help him get it working again.

And what about the 3rd World countries ?

The WT is gonna lose Big.

Scotsman, since you are a WT apologist, could you do me a favor ?

If you read my post, about the "WT Hemoglobin NewLight ™" , that came too late to save my Mom's life (she was just following orders)...you know I have a 'bone to pick' with your Governing Body. Would you apologize to me -- for them ?

Apparently...they are so very busy downloading "spiritual food at the proper time," from The Big Guy...that they must have forgotten to send my family, WT Form "54321-0- Beeeeep ™", "Thank You Sincerely for your Sacrifice of ___(fill in name of faithful victim ____ you can rest assured that Jah and the FDS are smiling and proud of your/their belief in us."

I also never got WT Form "Sorry about that OldeLight ™ " that may have caused: the death/suicide/disease/shunning/______/______/_______/_______( circle one or more. fill in blank(s) if needed attach additional sheets) of your loved one(s).

Query: How can the GB all be 'anointed spiritual conduit' downloadees of God...then, still have to VOTE and get a two-thirds majority to make decisions ? Doesn't it bother you, that the votes are not always, always...ALWAYS...unanimous ? If 2/3 of these Fellow Downloadee Society members don't get the SAME message from the SAME god, doesn't that tell you something ???

People have died and are dying over the 'spiritual disagreements' of a handful of delusional elder men in Brooklyn... who think they hear voices...that other 'normal' people cannot. Then, they actually have to take a democratic VOTE...to determine what "voices" the majority heard !

That is laughable. Wait...no it's not.

Blood - current JW thinking...

by dozy in

a few observations from (indirectly) talking to a couple of hlc members who have recently attended meetings with his in brooklyn:.

(1) any hope that the wts will further reform the blood policy is wide of the mark.

the wts is very happy & settled with the current situation (whole blood + 4 components = nono everything else ok).

bttt, for Gill and because, this is very interesting...and I missed it the first time around.

Just finished seeing Michael Moore's SiCKO

by Jourles in

i just got home from bellaire, mi where the first us premiere screeing of sicko took place.

mm has shown the film to a few private groups, but he specifically said that we were the first "paying group" to see it.

there were two showings - i got to see the first showing at 1:00.. first let me say that this film is not political in any way.

Rabbit

What I find amazing ...is when I hear Americans talk about 'how exorbitant taxes will have to be' under Universal Health Care and how they "...aren't willing to pay taxes for others health care".

The US spends over 1 Billion Dollars a week in Iraq for a long time now. The bill there is over a Trillion $$, yet...taxes have not gone up ! If the US would stop trying to be the World's Policemen...we would have PLENTY of $$$$$$ to spend on the healthcare of our citizens.

The governing body is "The Christ"

by candidlynuts in

i keep reading small bits here and there where people mention the " follow the christ" convention states the governing body is now " the christ".

can anyone clarify this or know which talk it is , have audio or video?

any more information of any kind would be appreciated..

Rabbit

*** w59 5/1 p. 269 pars. 6-7 Attain Completeness in the New World Society ***
The whole body under the direction of the head moves and acts as a beautifully co-ordinated unit, perfectly organized. In the same way Christ, the Head, employs the organization that is his body to carry out his assigned work. His orders reach the whole of the organization on earth through the governing body, and on down through the Branches to the congregations.

And yet..."the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" !

The deadly WT Flip-Flop history of blood, vaccinations, organ transplants, aluminum cookware, 1975, "this generation shall not pass...", disfellowshiping, 'what a woman should do if facing rape', etc., etc., etc., proves the Head doesn't control the (Governing) Body.

Most X-JW's turn to paganism

by White Dove in

that's what a witch at a pagan shop told me.

Rabbit

Ex-JW's have the exquisite freedom...now...to examine others beliefs without fear that "God will smite 'em..."

I can see how a 'belief system' based on nature might be more attractive, after shedding yourself of a highly controlling religious cult. I looked into it and found it refreshing comparatively. Eventually, tho' I saw that I would still would have to believe in 'invisible mystical powers' of some kind and it became...boring. Everyone still needs to 'follow' somebody else's understandings...and they sometimes have fights over what's considered "pure" Wicca, pagan, etc.

*I* don't have time for that in my life anymore.

Having said that...most pagans, wiccans, etc. (that I've met) seem to be really open-minded, non-judgmental and kind folks.

Scotsman,

First ...Welcome to the board !

With me it was a lot of things... including, 'lack of true love' among the witnesses, false prophesies & doctrinal issues that caused me to leave the Watchtower's Truth . But, the 'straw that broke the camel's back' was a blood doctrine 'flip-flop'. You may consider it as 'minor' or insignificant. To me...it was everything.

My JW Mom died a few years ago, because, of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses prohibition of blood transfusions. If my Mom had taken blood into her body, according to what was then WT law, she thought, she would be displeasing to Jehovah and would have been disfellowshipped. And, with The End Being So Close ™, as always...she was afraid she might be murdered by her Almighty Loving ™ God at Armageddon. So, she died faithful, right ?

Now, please reconcile the following and tell me why I should not hate the Watchtower Society: 1) My Mom died from a lack of oxygen to her brain...she smothered to death while her family, friends, doctors & nurses watched. 2) Red Blood cells would have saved her. Hemoglobin, which comprises 97% of a red blood cell would have saved her, too, by transporting oxygen to her brain & body. 3) It's still against WT Law for a Witness to accept Red Blood cells, right ? 4) Did you know... that if my Mom was still alive today and faced with the same situation...THE WATCHTOWER NOW ALLOWS JW'S TO TAKE HEMOGLOBIN ????? As a Conscience Matter ? So...the Watchtower's Truth ...expired ! You could not take Hemoglobin one day...and the next day ? It's OK...because the Governing Body that you admire so much...have thought of a New Light Truth ™ ...that people are expected to die faithfully over, just like the Olde Light Truth ™ . If the Governing Body actually is at the other end of a Godly spiritual pipeline...then God murdered my 'faithful' Mom by changing the rules. Otherwise...the Governing Body murdered my Mom...pretending to speak for God. And as others have posted...for many years the WT said, organ transplants would "displease Jah, because it was cannibalism" and you'd get DF if you got one. Then, one day that Truth ™ expired, too. The very next day, IF YOU WERE STILL ALIVE...transplants were A-OK. Lot's of JW's died over that one. They are liars, hypocrites, pretenders or delusional. Whatever...they are dangerous. So, please...explain how the WT's Governing Body deserves my belief, faith or respect. Sincerely, Rabbit

Brin Can I ask you what is your story. What made you go on your own and reject them.I already alot of people dislike them but they are only peopli like us whats the real reason? ~ Ariana

new documentary film about Disfellowshipping - the anti - Knocking

by RubyParker in

my name is ruby parker.

i am 29 years old.

i was disfellowshipped when i was 16, i have completed a double major in anthropology and religion studies.

Rabbit

I'm glad you turned around your disfellowshiping and got a good education. If you can use that education to make a film and warn others away from the rocks of the WT coastline...that's payback in a good and ironic way.

I wish you luck ! Rabbit
