  Most Poorly Written JW Book

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i was thinking the other day that the wt corp has produced thousands of books over the years.

  although the writers have changed the style is almost always the same.

  however, some books are just worse than others.

  back in my late teens / early 20's i rarely read any of the literature or magazines. i had no interest in it at all--and found the fonts and page layout to be difficult to even focus on.

  i made the break at 23.

  How do I handle this situation?

  by BarelyThere in

  hey everyone.

  i'm sorry that this isn't a very thought provoking post but i could really use some advice on how to handle this.

  there isn't anyone else in my life i can ask right now because, being dfed, all of my friends are "worldly" and don't know how witnesses function.

  apart from fear of ( maybe ) losing family through shunning---why on earth else would you want to go back to having to suck up to those jumped up tin pot two bob little hitlers. why play their stupid game ?

  what makes you think your family will have anything to do with you if you do fade ? are they really so spineless and shallow ?

  Having Jehovah as a friend.

  by Darkknight757 in

  i've always found it amazing that people can say with such conviction that jehovah is their friend.. we are talking about a "friend" who perhaps daily "tests" us to see if we are his friends.

  all of us have dealt with some form of hardship such as the death of a loved one, chronic illness or whatever.

  it is in these cases that the brothers will tell a person that perhaps it is a test, or that "jehovah knows you're not ready" or some other lame excuse.. do our real friends "test" us to see if we will be loyal to them?

  How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".

  "is he 'in the truth'?".

  most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.

  I am told that the Mormons call their delusion 'the truth' too. Can anyone verify this?
  ooh--thats nice--2 versions of truth.
  but is one a false truth--or the other truly false ?

  the way some daft bat sisters used to talk about jehovah made me cringe. like some blow up doll they kept for company--someone to talk to.

  i remember--about 20 years ago--discovering that a friend ( female ) was a faded JW---

  i referred to her as being " out of the truth" with others in on the conversation. they thought it was hilarious !

  My Bthel Experince Part 19 The Last Chapter..(really) Bethel Overseers

  by new boy in

  2. experiences

  there were other people who either killed themselves or tried to kill themselves while they were at "the house of god.

  one person who did kill himself was richard wheelock, press room overseer ......he jumped out of a window at the watchtower farm one day.

  it seemed, he was never quite the same after his wife "willy" died.
