  Suffering And The Meaning Of Life

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what is the meaning of life?

  we all die, so what is the meaning.

  religion tries to bridge the gap with absolutist answers to this problem of existence by giving immortality to it's members in good standing(so join us or parish).helps to pay the bills using fear of annihilation to keep members as a source of material $$uport.

  Why does death equal meaningless? Why does there have to be some bigger meaning?

  Im "Going To Die In Armageddon"

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  3 missed calls from my jw brother last night.

  i didnt answer because he's actively shunning me and when he does ring it always to preach to me about how we're so close to the end and how i should "humble myself before the mighty hand of god" .

  he then texts me saying "we need to talk".

  Am I mistaken, or didn't one of your brothers question his study conductor about shunning, get the runaround, and then decide the dubs were full of crap? Is this the same guy? I had hope for that one, though I seem to remember that he was wrapped up in the fantasy of things like Armageddon from almost a superhero perspective.

  2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure

  no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.

  instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

  Oh, wait, that whole part in there about the death of the grandmother seemed very forced to me. It doesn't fit, yet they use it to transition into the 1975 thing. It was there for some reason. Could it be that so many that never thought they would die are dying, and it is causing the living left behind to leave?

  I wonder if the whole "overlapping generation" teaching has become a debacle so they're trying to basically distance themselves from any such predictions. You know that whole speech with charts that didn't make sense? Yeah, you read into that, so just forget it all.

  Or maybe they are setting up to shoot down 1914. Damn, they have balls the size of grapefruits. It's like they sometimes just choose to rub their mistakes in the face of their followers.

  Leaving it all behind.

  by Jazzbo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i haven't been on an exjw site for months and months.

  i frankly am way past the point where i define myself as an exjw, i am who i am and it doesn't have really anything to do with the way i was raised or spent a considerable portion of my life, i also refuse to be bound by witness requirements as to leaving, contact with witnesses, or some kind of responsibility to whack people who seem perfectly happy as witnesses over the head with 'the truth about the truth'.

  i have recently run in to a few people that seems to simply obsess with their lives as witnesses and why they left and in some cases the way they were treated or mistreated, or the need to "do" something.

  Jazzbo clearly didn't leave it all behind. Dropping by to espouse one's beliefs as the only right way to live, only to run away so as not to have to take in anyone else's thoughts, is a very JW thing to do. Your JW is showing in your weak trolling.

  The new personality

  by longgone in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been thinking about the changes we make within ourselves after leaving the wts cult.

  i'm not referring to how we spend our time now that we actually have some, but who we have become, or working to be?.

  the gb carries on and on about "stripping off the old personality and putting on the new one.

  The "new personality" is the inauthentic cult personality that they want you to put on to be under their power.

  I'm a far better person out of the Borg than I was in. I'm accepting, far less judgmental, loving, happy, helpful, etc. I have genuine interest in others, not just so that I can preach to them. I try to understand others instead of thinking that they need to understand what I understand from the cult that indoctrinated me. Life is amazing now. The results of the "new personality" were ugly, caused dissonance, and subsequent mental issues that all dissipated once I woke up and found freedom. The "new personality" is a prison of one's own making at the behest of the governing body of overlords.

  Why don't you get so butthurt over factual lies that Jehovah's Witnesses tell in their propaganda, not just doctrine, but actual factual lies like omitting information through ellipses? Why only this? Do you hope that these victims of horrific things got less? At least the word "estimate" was used. Who cares if it's estimated high or low other than you?

  JW's And Yoga

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower

  this was partly discussed in this thread: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4853755331739648/these-common-jw-beliefs?page=2#!#5701815683252224 but i wanted to delve into the topic of yoga even further.. it seems watchtower have no clue what yoga actually is, or what it can achieve.

  i myself dont practice yoga, but i do meditate and see the benefits of that.. here is an artical from watchtower 2002 with my commentary:.

  I'm not going to read all of that idiocy, but they are so out of touch. JWs like to define things from yoga to evolution and paint it with their distorted brush. Then again, for the brain dead followers, the GB's definition of anything is truly all that matters.

  My wife went to a yoga class on Suturdays for a while and loved it. It is a great workout, and there are so many varieties.
