all these hypothetical questions about the organization's demise or what if god did this or that don't do anyone any good.
personal experiences.
info and insight about your congregation, circuit, area and the watchtower itself is what we need.
Don't like 'em, don't read 'em. Simple as that.
And as you can see, there are several people here who hate rant posts like the one you've started here, and if some of them had their way, you would not have the freedom to post a rant. Please remember that when you see posts you don't want to see.
i always have a nice bowl of candy ready for trick or treat, we don't get many so you usually have a short conversation with the parents.
so a mom & 3 kids come and the two boys were dressed in suit and ties!
i am laughing because my first thought was they were dressed as jw's!
due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?
remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.
what about the thousands that don't get caught?
Tami - Forgive me for asking, but your mother never abused you? It just seems odd that a person would not molest their children, but would willingly do so to their grandchildren. In all the cases I've ever heard of, they may favor certain kids, but not just suddenly become molesters when their children have children. I am not saying it doesn't happen; I've heard of those who harm their nieces and nephews, or other people's children, but never their own. Were there any signs when you were growing up that your mother was or would become abusive in any way? It's sickening and unfathomable that she would treat you well, but not your children. :(
is anyone here familiar with the facebook group "jehovah's people: enduring these last days together"?
it's a closed group, so obviously you need to be a member in order to access any info or posts.
my anointed roommate is really frustrated because she's an admin and someone is taking miscellaneous posts from the group and posting it on their own page, which has the exact same name, minus the word "together.
As I already explained, she is frustrated because someone is taking posts from the group without permission and posting them on a mock-JW group that also features pornographic content. If they weren't clearly "apostates," I'm sure she wouldn't mind at all. :p
august 30, 2016 to all circuit overseers in the united states branch territory re: securing rental facilities for circuit assemblies.
Whoever down-voted wifibandit, that was uncalled for.
so as i have been waking up more and more over the past 3 years...i keep telling myself i'm fully awake and then i wake up more, but that's a different thread.
but anyway, i've noticed a lot lately that the wt does not mention jesus or christ very much in their literature and neither to jw's in their conversations.
they mainly talk about jehovah.
Very brave to go around down-voting comments but not saying who you are or why you down-voted it. And I'm not just speaking for myself. I've noticed a lot of down-votes on this site on random people's posts that are completely non-controversial. Why all the hate?

I tried looking but I can't find it. She says he randomly posts pornographic content among the JW stuff.
Just wondering if anyone here is familiar with either group.

*Nada, not notta.
Aaannnd I just realized how dumb that sounds. >_<
most witnesses i knew were exteeemly reluctant to go out in the ministry.
but when they did, they were simply scraping by, eager to avoid conflict and just do their hour or so speaking to lonely old ladies or widowed old men.
placing magazines in a car group, doing route calls, plodding along in the utter boredom of their responsibility to get some time on a report by the last day of the month.. this was never a warning work.
Black Sheep With people like that, I just say to them "Well, God knows the truth, and I'm pretty sure He doesn't approve of you lying, especially about His word." Of course, most of them are delusional enough to be able to commit the mental gymnastics necessary to keep themselves in the right, so it usually ends up being pointless. :p
when i left the org, the jw's tried their best to guilt trip me.
some of the questions i was asked and things i was told:.
"how could you possibly be happy outside of jehovah's organization?
William Penwell - I can't quote you directly because this site won't let me (how the hell is everyone else doing it, though?) but regarding the erasing of memories, there is one thing that doesn't make any sense: what if one or both of your parents aren't resurrected? Sure, God can erase them from your memory, but you will always know that you HAD parents. He can't possibly erase that fact. I mean, you'll look around and see parents and their children everywhere, and you'll know that you yourself certainly didn't just appear out of thin air. You'll KNOW that someone had to create you, and you would wonder who your parents are and WHERE they are. That's a sad thought.
