I have a deep seated hatred for the leadership of the JW Cult

by mrquik in

i look back on my life & realize all major mistakes fall at the feet of the jw leadership.

no college, no birthdays, basically no celebrations.

lived my younger years as an outcast.

i was one of the lucky ones--my ma got religion when i was about 10 years old--dad followed a couple of years after. At 11 i was yanked out of school morning assemblies and religious lessons. no more xmas and birthdays.

baptised at 14..alongside my dad--and 6 other kids from the same KH. left school at 15--although dad wanted me to stay on--go to uni . pioneering at 16, working 2 days a week as a window cleaner.

courting at 18..married at 20..for the usual JW reason. became a dad at 23..at which point i left the cult.

BUT..my parents accepted my decision..and never shunned me. it helped we lived 150 miles away--so their cong really had no idea about me any more.

However it did mean my dad stopped being an elder after i while. ive wondered recently whether he was deleted because of his association with me. Maybe thats how he wanted it. I never asked him.

i think a lot of the responsibility lies with--our parents. they chose to join it--were we given that option ?

How many TRUE BELIEVERS do you think are left in the Organization?

by pistolpete in

i have a few jw relatives who are true believers.

by this i mean, they believe with all their heart that 1914 was the beginning of the last days, that this is the last generation, that we are in the very last of the last hour of this system of things, and that you should obey the governing body even if it does not make sense.

all of them are in their 60s and up into their 90s there is nothing you can say or show them to convince them or even cause a small doubt that the wt is not god organization.

I have read and re read acts chap.15 and for the life of me I can't find the part about the 1st century governing body!

by nowwhat? in

i cannot find the verse where it talks about several self appointed men that went behind closed doors to render their decision regarding circumcision.

all i see is that it was the apostles, older men and the congregation that came to a decision.

perfect example of why we need the governing body today.

back in the day when i was a teenage dub--i cant recall any governing body. The head bloke was Nathan Knorr--and that was the only name i heard of. In the UK at that time the branch servant was Wilf Gooch ( who i did like listening to at assemblies ).

Thoughts on Zoom

by waton in

the wt sponsored zoom meetings reduce individual freedom, spirituality.

the wt sponsored zoom meetings enables ego maniacs, narcissists to have their influence beamed right into your living room.

conversations that were private, personal are now broadcast, forced on all participants.
