  why in gods name would an atheist want to go to a jw meeting ?

  but i think its best to go--just the once--to get it out of your system.

  you will find it boring. it is not a service--although they do sing a song and say a prayer..but you stand up for that-- not go down on your knees and stick your arse in the air. although i suppose you could if you really wanted to.

  but if you really want to believe in a god--just go outside on a clear day ( or night ) and look up into the sky. if you see him--do let us know.

  you could write and thank her profusely--explain youve been having a really tough time..and ask if she could help you out with a loan to get you through it.

  i grew up in the cult. mom converted first--then dad..i was just a kid--what did i know. dad and i got dipped together. i was 14 years old. i just went along with it--after all--it had to be the one true religion because we were in it.

  within 10 years i was out. i knew i had never believed in god--no interest in the bible or any of the end times prophecy crap. but i never doubted it was the one true religion--for those that wanted to be in it. if that makes any sense.

  30+ years then went by--in which time i rarely thought about it--certainly never missed it--or wanted to go back into it.

  then-- i discovered this worldwide internet of ex jw's--many with similar views to me.

  i am now more convinced than ever the watchtower / jehovah's witnesses isnt / never was the one true religion. it is just an american made money making scam.

  If I was still PIMI, I'd be terrified

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.

  and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.

  looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .

  Sometimes it helps if you write down your Nightmare!

  by Terry in

  the basement garage would never be the same.an eyeball rolled under the tool cart and stared sideways at nothing much at all.. nearby a final death twitch from a dying human ended what had been a death struggle.a weird creature mostly made of bug parts and human scraps stood and blinked.. its expression appeared to all the world to resemble a large, inebriated caterpillar.steadying itself awkwardly, it shambled toward the basement stairs on wobbly legs.. the monster’s victory meant this weird human replacement took on the new role of head of family: a family of devout jehovah’s witnesses!ah, world conquest was now assured!.

  this uncanny thing coughed as its voice box simulated modulated words.it was practicing scripted dialogue of incredible importance to domination strategy:“wuh.

  wuh.

  Was Paul A false Prophet?

  by saorean in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i ask the question on the title because there a quite a number of statements the apostle paul made about the coming of jesus and resurrection of the holy ones that never fulfilled.

  1 corinthians 15: 51, 52 (nwt) : .

  i tell you a sacred secret: we will not all fall asleep in death, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet.

  Need Help fleeing my country

  by saorean in

  don't be startled by the title of this thread.

  heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.. in planning for my escape from the borg, i've come to the sad realization that the best thing for me to do considering factors like: breaking my parents and siblings hearts, lack of support groups, lack of counseling groups for cult survivors, and the prospect of finding a mate who shares my secular views on life, i've come to the realization that i need to leave my country and even my continent africa.

  i know i sound desperate, but what can a brother do when all he can do is cry out for help or die in silence.

  getting a work visa to the UK is very difficult. you need to check which skills are needed by employers and look out for any sponsorhip offers. its mostly in the medical / healthcare sector.
