  i had dizzy spells and near-fainting and nausea for a few days, so why wouldn't i start thinking about death, ya know?.

  ok ok--enough about adamneve already....

  now--what about the snake ? i reckon it played a big part in human history--so--it deserves a resurrection.

  the big question is--will it grow its legs back ? how many did it have ? 2 or 4 ?

  i think a talking snake standing on 2 legs would be pretty cool. i would pay good money for it.

  Using the term "Watchtower" when talking to a JW

  by Sanchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone else noticed how alarm bells go off inside a jw mind as soon as they hear someone that "is out" refer to the leaders of this org as "watchtower"?

  i've chatted with a few friends now about my doubts and each and every time i've started using phrases such as "watchtower said this" or "watchtower did that", i can almost see their heads about to explode in anger, as if they've just realized they are talking to the lucifer himself.

  some have even interrupted and corrected me by reminding me that it's not "watchtower", it's "god's organization".

  "if you are a young person you need to face the fact you will never grow old in this system of things.. why not?

  because all the evidence in fulfilment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years...as a young person you will never fulfil any career that this system offers".

  may 22 awake!

  can just imagine--the WTs make a congregation sell their hall--and hand over the wedge------then they have to rent a place--and pay for it themselves. ha ha .

  What's Is The Goal Of This Religion?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what's is the goal of this religion?.

  i mean, if it's for money they could do a lot more like other religions do: tithing, paying for prayers from the gb, selling "miracles", selling "blessed" items, selling courses.. if its for power then what are they hoping to do with that power?

  they dont seem to do anything.

  i think the jw goal is...to be a witness of jehovah.

  which is a man-made name for god. god is also man made.

  so...jehovahs witnesses are a bit pointless really.

  How Will Armageddon Begin?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  and how long will it last?

  and who will come after that, yahweh, as the old testament says or jesus, as the new testament says?

  the scriptures say he'll come to the mount of olives, but surely that's a spiritual mount of olives.

  How successful are others at getting ex-dubs together?

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for my first shunniversary i reached out to the local ex-dubs that i know.

  i invited 11 total to join me in a little get together at a local restaurant, then back to my house to hang out.

  one friend asked if he could invite others, and i encouraged him, and all, to do so.

  from my experience--apart from the cult--i have very little in common with most ex dubs. i have met quite a number at get togethers over the years.

  how many people really want to share past experiences in the cult ? most want to forget about it and move ahead with their lives.
