  I was ashamed

  by Happeanna in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was once a person who believed in god destroying 7 billion people so a few people could live in paradise.. when the penny finally dropped and i realised what as a jehovah's witnesses i was really praying for , it made me feel sick.

  what is attractive about a person that prays for this world to end .

  i was ashamed to have been a witness deeply ashamed .

  it makes me wonder how many converts the watchtower would get--if the armageddon / new world package had never been part of the deal.

  today's text -.

  sunday, january 24. they collected the fine ones into containers, but the unsuitable they threw away.—matt.

  13:48.. understanding the lesson of this illustration helps us to avoid being overly distraught or disappointed if a bible student or one of our children does not make the truth his own.

  i was never suitable. i found it impossible to carry on pretending to be a jehovahs witness when i didnt believe in jehovah---whatever that might be..

  if at some future date i get the call to become religious--i will shop around for a god that fits my requirements--not the other way round.

  A) Do you honestly expect people to belive " The Earth is Flat?

  
  

  and why not ? would YOU believe there are some people that seriously believe their god ( ha ha--right )---is soon going to wipe out everyone else on earth--except them and their fellow cult members. not only that--they will live forever on this cleansed planet.

  they need locking up somewhere safe.

  JW's Funerals, Forget About The Person! Let's Preach.

  by new boy in

  god forbid you would talk about the dead person at his funeral.

  so what do most people get after living 70-80 years?.

  a 5-10 minutes eulogy.

  Well...I announced on here last weekend.. My jw dad died last Saturday.

  I've read his will...there's no instructions regarding his funeral.

  As far as I am aware...he had no visits from anyone on his congregation in the last year or so. Certainly no elders. He was unable to attend any meetings or memorials in the last 3 years. I don't think anyone offered to take him. His jw granddaughter lives half a mile away from him. She never went near him.

  I have arranged a simple non.religious ceremony...just the committal at a crematorium. No minister..no hymns. As far as I know..I will be the only mourner there.

  JW Expressions We Hate

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.

  " who talks like that?

  they must be relics of the fred franz era.

  Office Jargon, drives me nuts

  by punkofnice in

  1. social
  2. humour

  'granular' seems to be the latest buzz word going around my office.

  previously it was 'appetite'.. abstract words that appear to be designed to make the person saying it appear powerful and part of the 'team'.. as lord sugar has observed before; why not just speak english and say what you mean.. office jargon really annoys me.

  i had enough loaded language and jargon in the disgusting jw cult..

  an atheist doesnt have to prove there is no such thing as god. how can someone prove something doesnt exist ?

  the onus of proof is on the theist. good luck with that.
