Do You Still Easily Believe Everything?

by minimus in

jw
friends

to be a witness you had to accept whatever spiritual food was being dished out.

even if it didn’t make any sense, we were expected to believe.

now that we are out of the cult, do you find yourself a person who doesn’t just accept the status quo?

because i find it less complicated to tell the truth--i tend to accept what people tell me as being true--unless its blatantly obviously false.

Governing Body; Villians or just Deluded?

by pistolpete in

are you sometimes dumbfounded at the direction the governing body takes?.

thousands of documents proving 607 bce is wrong, yet the gb sticks to the date, why?.

the generation that would not die, yet they continue by introducing an overlapping generation.. disfellowshipping at a time when everyone is leaving, not a good idea, yet they continue to disfellowship.. here is a video that addresses these questions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgeqhp9o9i.

back when i was "in"..i visited my parents KH--and a friend of mine from my earlier years was now the watchtower conductor. It was obvious he liked being in the limelight--up there on the stage--with all the congregation looking at him. I told him so afterwards--and he admitted i wasnt the first to tell him.

So is this what floats their boat--the hero worship--the adoring fans ?

what i dont "get"--is when i was in--as a teenager till 23--i never remembered a governing body..just knorr.. There were a few familiar names...mostly forgotten. Other names ive only read about on here in recent years--Swingle for instance. But back in the 60s--no governing body names.

Has anyone still in or otherwise heard anything about JWs think we only have 12 months before Armageddon?

by blablabluh in

i’ve noticed a change in family attitude recently, like there is just something extra on their mind.

i even had to call my brother to check if he was dying and too scared to tell me.

anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.

stan livedeath

lets hope this gets really promoted--armageddon within the next 12 months. Super. Just whats needed to really kick this cult in the head when--once again--it doesnt happen.

DISFELLOWSHIPPING, How bad is it really?

by pistolpete in

i found this experience on reddit today.

disfellowshipping never really bothered me.

i always thought it was just another way of getting rid of members that weren't welcome anymore.. but i've changed my mind.

I spent sunday with my son and his family. He was d/f 11 years ago and his mother has totally shunbed him ever since. She is unlikely to ever see her grand children. Shunning should be made a CRIME.
