  When you were fully in, did you believe that you would not die?

  i know that it must seem silly to ask, but my brother and his family think that the big a will arrive before they die.

  i tried to explain to my brother that everyone else who has ever lived in the past has died and only jesus has [physically] rose from the dead.. it is amazing that anyone could buy that line.

  what crazy cult culture that could make people believe such nonsense?!.

  You are so right about not having kid's because of the religion. Once you realize you really blew it and listened to idiot's it's a hard pill to swallow.

  did anybody see the service meeting video this week?.

  australian sister was sexually abused as a child and thought of ending her life at 14 years old, sometime later jw's call on her father who accepts a study and eventually the whole family becomes witnesses, life gets much better as the sister immerses herself in pioneering etc, she still has some dark days but prayer along with going for walks and swimming has helped her cope with bad memories of child abuse, the new system (just around the corner) will completely fix everything......... i'm dumbfounded, the hypocrisy has literally rendered me speechless......comments anybody?.

  You make a very good point about it being harmful, every since I have seen it I have been in such a depression. I wonder how many others have been affected like me.

  I am going to my counselor next week and it is one of the first thing's I am going to show her, I really want her take on it.

  Also another very good point. The video just made me sick and hard to sleep tonight. If gerry is right, it's beyond sick the way they presented this.

  You really hit the nail on the head. This is why I love this sight, as so many see things in a way I just did not see but is so obvious.

  This video just made me sick, Steve 2 you made a very great point also.

  Jehovah's Love - or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Death

  by undercover in

  2. friends

  this idea was inspired by another post i saw (but forget who or where) referencing the mootness of delaying armageddon now that the 1914 generation is gone.

  (i just skimmed over the post and thread, and didn't give it much thought until later).

  wt doctrine basically says that jehovah, through his undeserved love, allows wickedness so that people can hear, and accept, the 'truth', thus being saved from the destruction of armageddon.

  The last video in the 2016 convention...

  by problemaddict 2 in

  ...is an epic triumph is emotional manipulation.

  bringing together all of the stories they told thus far and placing them int he "new world" complete with the little boy who was killed in a car accident coming back from the dead.. i have a good friend who is stuck in with family and plays the role.

  he said everyone was crying, and the people next to him rated the videos by how many tissues they needed to dry their eyes.

  "But WHY would you want to know those things??"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i ran into an older sister who has always been very sweet.. it was a friendly chat...yet she pushed for a reason why my family have been missing from meetings for some time.

  the question was deflected, until it just had to be said: "well, there have been some troubling and disturbing issues about the society especially the way things were handled during the royal commission, as well as many other issues".. she quickly cut in and said "but why would you want to know these things?

  its best not to research and look at those sort of things - so we don't get upset!".

  It amazes me...

  ..to think about how the congregations actually function....even down to the individual level.. the biggest bully on the boe (or his wife), controls the show.. ones within the congregation are treated like they're dirt and still they return.

  stockholm syndrome?.

  i've heard ones say that 'jehovah(tm) will sort it all out.

  I totally agree. I look back at what I went through and am so mad at myself for allowing myself to be treated like dirt.

  I just cannot understand why I took all that garbage. It was so soul crushing.

  "Attn Lurkers- Terror, fear and your future- How terror groups and JW.org use similar tactics

  by stuckinamovement in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have nothing to fear but fear itself is a famous line uttered by franklin delano roosevelt during one of the usas most uncertain and scary time periods during the height of ww2..

  fear can immobilize a person, make them afraid to help others in times of critical need.

  fearfulness can change a persons personality forcing them to act in ways that they wouldnt otherwise.
