  Aren't you a bit amazed that the WTS/JWS is still around ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower

  i know i am, to me its a bit of a peculiar anomaly that the wts is still around and functioning in reflection of its decades and now complete century that the wts has been bullshitting to people .

  organizations like the church of god have shrunk dramatically from its heyday of the 1980's, this too was another organization that spread and grew by publishing its own magazine proclaiming a armageddon soon doctrine and its main publication was called " the truth " .

  i'm guessing some of this has to do with the fact that people who get lured into this cult aren't aware of its past, its doctrines, the people who started it and so forth.

  pale :

  
  i can see a number of ones a few years younger than me that are just waiting for their parents to die so they can stop going to the meetings.

  
  

  good point. my first (ex) wife is a born in.. both her fanatic parents are long dead...both my more liberal parents are gone too.

  i sometimes wonder if my ex wife will die before me--we are about the same age. our daughter and husband have 4 girls of their own--so no elders there ! will they still stay in the cult when granma dies ?

  my older son (41) is d/f and long gone from it. just my younger son (39)..who i think is a m/s--but no contact from him in 30 years now.

  i dont know if this is becoming a national thing or even globally.

  but im hearing more and more people i knew from my jw days have taken their kids out of school to home school them instead.

  in my sisters case she's taken her 8yo and 6yo children out already and her 3yo wont ever start a school.

  Watchtower & Guns

  apparently jehalapeno isn't a 2nd amendment supporter either.... .

  july 17 questions from readers.... the way this part is worded screams cult to me, i was quite amused.. how a christian chooses to protect himself, his family, or his possessions is, of course, largely a personal matter, as is his choice of employment.. geee!

  thanks watchtower for allowing me to "largely chose my own employment" you are a generous cult lol.

  everyone knows the 144,000 is literal...

  wheres them being 12,000 male virgins from each of the 12 tribes of Israel is conveniently symbolic.

  2. scandals

  this can only be a good sign.. my old congregation in liverpool has had a lot of money in it's bank account for years.

  for a long, long time (almost 8 years) they've been looking for land to build a new hall.

  the one they're in now is literally falling to bits.

  Why did Satan tempt Eve with a talking snake when he could have materialised as another human to tempt her ?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  since the angels that followed satan could take on human form and even have sex and bear offspring to females of earth why would satan not have used this avenue instead of talking through a snake .?

  which really makes no common sense ?.

  why wouldnt eve question how a snake could talk?

  its easy to understand--ask any dub!

  the talking snake is symbolic..

  however--adam was real----so was eve.

  god creating the world is real--but the 7 days of creation is symbolic.

  god creating adam--real--taking a rib out to make eve--? symbolic.

  garden of eden--? real---no--symbolic.

  the book of genesis--real--the old testament ?----

  Emotionally very ill but can't face consequences of leaving

  by Isambard Crater in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a new member so wanted to say 'hi'.

  i live in the u.k, was born in, fell away as an unbaptised publisher, got baptised in my 30s for reasons i'm retrospectively unsure of, and lost my faith about five years ago around the time of the original a.r.c.

  now, being unable to leave is making me physically, emotionally and mentally ill.. i'm not strong enough to da and live with the family consequences, and despite having several good friends outside the faith, none of them could support me in an active way as such.
