How do you feel about religion as a whole?

by FatherFirst in

it just seems to me religion in general primarily makes truly bad people worse, not genuinly good people better; and in many cases has even made good people do bad things in the name of their religion.

just curious, a personal poll if you will.

what are you guys' current views on religion as a whole?

stan livedeath

if people wish to worship a carved plank of wood--fine--its their choice.

religion is where other people move in and organise the plank-worshippers to make a fat living for themselves.

I have a serious problem

by My Name is of No Consequence in

i have a serious problem that i cannot solve on my own.

i was born-in but am only in by a thread at this point.

i quit the tms a few weeks ago and wrote a post on it.

aah--in that case--no need to worry. once he gets to enjoy the freedom college life brings---he will run a mile from that silly little cult. so--do your own thing--enjoy life. let your dub-wife think long and hard where her future lies.

My worst nightmare, a speaking assignment last night. I've been OUT for 38 years!

by FatFreek 2005 in

every five years or so i have this vivid and recurring dream, tho you'll probably surmise it's more of a nightmare.

i learn somehow that i am scheduled for this theocratic ministry school speaking assignment, the instruction talk (do they still have those 15 minute drone-athons?).

i become racked with tension knowing that i haven't even prepared for an assignment that is only 30 minutes away.

dont worry about it freek--next time you dream it you will be stood there at the podium bare ass naked.

What would happen if all or most of the Governing Body died in some kind of accident?

by Esse quam videri in

with the organization controlled, totally and completely by the governing body, what would the watchtower society do to hold it all together if all or most of the governing body were to die?.

would the legal department step in and issue orders?

would the rest of the gb quickly appoint new members?

stan livedeath

What if they all died?

dont they all go to heaven ?

Why attack?

by newqatarjob in

as someone brought up as a jw and been an elder and been disfellowshipped (twice!!!

) i find it difficult to understand why ex jws have to attack the religion, yes religion, not cult or sect.

i am no longer disfellowshipped just do not want to practice anymore.

stan livedeath

yes--the watchtower cult attacks us ex-j's.

mentally diseased ? evil ?--controlled by satan ?. they would have us stoned to death if they could get away with it.

are you happy with that ?

Who's behind the WT / JW.org?

by elkatire1980 in

i have always thought that the members of the governing body are just a decorative elements in the visible cusp of the organization.

i have read conspiratorial topics about who really rule, but they are not visible.

the shareholders of the corporation?

stan livedeath

i read somewhere that russell issued shares--are there shareholders now ?

i think the GB--and other prominent types are probably genuine in their chosen few delusion---or why else would someone running a multi-billion dollar business settle for a rolex and free accommodation. do any of them actually own any property ?

Rainham residents upset about plans for Jah Jireh care home for Jehovah’s Witnesses

by Simon in

(posted for andersonsinfo).

people are protesting against plans to build a large care home for jehovahs witnesses behind their houses.. homeowners living in the bloors lane area of rainham have lodged objections to proposals by the jah jireh charity, which specialises in spiritual and physical care for followers of the religion.. people living in neighbouring homes say it is too big and its three storeys will dwarf their properties.. .

what the care home will look like.

Can you discredit "wait on jehovah to fix all evil" elder's padded line even told to victims of pedophiles?

by PokerPlayerPhil in

i am sick of being told this same crap after decades of suffering at the hands of wicked men and women, how many of you have had to fight these irrational expectations we are supposed to grin and smile when people are actively trying to screw with us and elders say .

good it is that one should wait, even silently, for the salvation of jehovah (lamentations 3:26; titus 2:13).

my life in the organization has not been entirely bad, there were many good people and plenty of jerks like you all experienced in this adventure we call life.

stan livedeath

just think of god as a plank of wood with an angry face carved on it. it wont fix anything--now or ever.
