  JW Discussion Forums Have Evolved.... Do You Like Them Better?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  years ago when h2o was the rage, some unbelievable discussions used to go on.

  as a just lurking witness, i found the exchanges to be quite stimulating.

  all of the old soldiers were there, the ones that busted any view that jws "could" have "the truth".

  As I have only been fading for 1 year, I dont know about the old boards.

  But I hold my hands up, I do start the most ridiculous threads. Its just sometimes I get so mad or angry when I read the way some ppl have been treated by the WT, that a really silly thought pops in my head and it just feels like a release.

  Im not completely free from the org as I still have family in, if this board and topics where too dry or serious I think by now I would have flipped.

  I spend a lot of time on here and try to read all the posts, I like the variety and ppl personalities really show, when answering fluff or the more important stuff

  Also another thought, is how many youngsters come on here, they can obviously relate with others and are not put off, which is great cos they need all the support they can get !

  "Theocratic Warfare" - An Apostate Strategy?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  who here had ever heard of this so-called 'doctrine' of "theocratic warfare" when you were a jehovah's witness?

  who has not heard of the so-called doctrine now that you are an apostate?

  so why have witnesses never heard of 'doctrine', yet apostates seem to promote it as the last word on witness standards of honesty, integrity and decency?

  I never felt it applied to me as I wasnt being persecuted or in danger, but I always thought it would be OK if for some reason in the future and we were banned, that I would lie for someone (maybe if I was hiding a person) .

  I was aware of theocratic warefare, I just didnt think about it much or how it could be used.

  I can hardly write, Im so shocked that your parents actually kicked you out. Even if you got disfellowshipped, they didnt have too.

  Reading this as it happened has really brought it home to me how distructive that cult really is. You are still so young and I believe are still in need of your family and your home.

  If the public saw this story they would be shocked. This is the sort of story that needs local publicity. I know you wouldnt want this for your parents but this is why the WT org are getting away with what they do, no one knows what goes on.

  Can you imagine the reaction they would have in FS if ppl knew a 16 year old had been thrown out of his house cos he didnt have the same faith as his parents.

  Please keep in touch with what happens.

  Ok I missed your last post that said they didnt kick you out, whew------------I was so worried.

  But many have been, It will be difficult for you in the long term though.

  my wifes biggest fear at this point is what if sheis wrong about the wts and they are really right.

  i told her even if they are right or wrong it doesnt matter.

  reason is she knows she would be miserable if she joined them.

  Invatation Snubs - Anybody?

  by CaptK in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mother who has been a jw for over 50 yrs, was sent an invatation to an elder's son high school graduation party.

  however it was addressed to just her alone not including her husband who is not a witness but a nice guy just no jw.

  the elder's son has yet to speak to my mother at the meetings even a hello or a casual conversation.

  This is the JWs at there lowest. The umming and arhing about who to invite to a private or congregation "do" is unbelieveable.

  "We cant really invite her husband cos he never shows an interest" or "lets invite her husband, cos he came to the memorial last year" It made me sick!!!!!!!!!!

  It never enters there heads that they could be encouraging the lonely sister or brother whos partner isnt in the truth and the org has stopped any other normal social life for them

  Personally I wouldnt go, and I would actually say why.
