NEW RELIGION! NEED INPUT!
by TR inthis is sort of a take-off of the "what should the wt do" thread.. i need to get together a board of directors and elect a president and officers.
we need to figure out a doctrine, a manifesto, and a set of disciplinary rules.
we need to figure out a way to fund our new movement.

I know how to set up committees and doom people. I'm also good at getting followers to forget thinking. What about that?

I agree. Using fears to control others or followers are only telling that your words are weak and your personality as well

I wasn't talking about fear of God at all. Only about fear of man.

I have been thinking about which rules are basis in this conflict or paradox. It must be very fundamental because so many are doing it.
We sometimes stick to the lie and ignore the reality even the lie not even look good anymore. Sometimes we see this when we buy a house. Looking good at the front but a closer look later on shows a lot of thinks broken down. You start to repair. Go to the bank for more money. Continue to repair and go to the bank for even more money. At last you have put so much effort and money in the house so you have placed your self in a situation when you are unable to leave the house. Even you see that the project is hopeless you continue – you have been doing this for so long time. So what do you do?
As human being we try to paint the reality according to the picture we want to see. We paint and paint even it fall of because reality is not easy painting. The JW have been trying to paint for a long times and have even been able to do this with some kind of success. One of the main and strongest tools has been the FEAR. Many JWs shows a great level of fear of the BORG. You do know the Borg are strong and are willing to use the power. So most don’t speak at all about their deepest thoughts – only the words expected.
This means that when a JW look at the world and the reality he looks at is as been wrong according to the BORG painted picture in his mind. Almost every JW think that the picture or the images is the right thing and every thing besides this is wrong – a part of the world controlled be Satan and the entire evil things.
Most JW have learned to get the reality to fit to the painted one. They are as we say doing an assimilation to get things to fit. That’s the really sad thing of a JW and very hard to change - even inside you self - and are still a big part of the way of thinking even you have left and don’t consider yourself as a JW any more.
It’s a long process to make you free from the JW fear and the typical assimilation. To turn this around and start to look - and also act - at the realty and the facts are not easy. To do this you have to be strong and that’s what JW normally aren’t. Only a few JW are able to stand up and speak for them self. JW are always speaking in groups and says the same things (read: What have been told to speak).
What are your experience and/or opinion?

Where do you go to die?
by wasasister infor the majority of humans, certain events are surrounded by tradition and ritual.
marriage, the birth of children, entrance into adulthood, and death are all life-events which will be marked by most with a form of religious ceremony.
for the few who have left off affiliation with a religious organization, these events are marked differently - more by tradition than by mystic ritual.

If I have the choose I will be in the mountains and find a good place in the night and look at the sun coming up from the East in the morning. Then I will have some last word with my Creator and find a place not to be found.

What is the role of the Annointed NOT on the GB?
by LDH indoes anyone have an answer to this question?
other than 'partaking', what exactly is it that 8,000 old boogers do the rest of the year?.
doesn't anyone else find it odd that out of these 8,000+ old boogers, only like 9 of them are on the gb?

It’s very simple. Only GB matters - others don’t. We have a couple of old men in NY deeply believe they are the mouth of God. It’s very sorry. If they just were “bad guys” it’s was simpler, but they believe they are some special and even think they have proves from the Bible.
So those thinking they are anointed - based on the doctrines - have in fact nothing to say and GB doesn’t even want to listen to those even the doctrines say all are – as said in Mat 24.45.
Many have tried to bring those men back to ground with no results. What a sad story. It’s only a question of having the power – nothing else in fact.

new, nowhere to turn, ashamed & afraid
by azzazel inhullo everybody i'm new here, even though i've been lurking now for several months.. i have to say how afraid i am to post, afraid and ashamed but i feel if i dont tell my story, i honestly dont know what may happen to me or my children if they lose me, right now i feel like i've got nowhere left to turn and have my doubts about this place as well.. i know my story will shock you but i cant keep it in any longer.
i am recently disfellowshipped for immorality, the subject of a kingdom hall witch -hunt and subsequent congregational humiliation, .
during the process of the judicial committee meetings and proceedings no consideration was given to my real human circumstances nor to the spirit of survival nor human nature nor that of a mother seeking to protect her children from lack of basic fundamentals such as food, shelter and clothing.

Dear Azzazel
It touches my heart to read your story. I real shepherd are always looking for good things to do to the ones in needs and problems. Not approving the nature of the evil flesh but to take the falling ones by the hand at show it another way and walk together with the person on the on that way until the person are strong enough to walk by its self. Not to please man but God. I have been elder for nearly 15 year and am still acting like this, but see a lot of wrong things making me consider my future position.
My advise to you are as I have said to others in your situation. Jesus Christ is always with you whatever man is doing against you. Nothing is able to split you from the love and forgivingness by Christ. Read the Romans 8: 35-39.
Faith/salvation and JW are separated things. But you must find your own way - but trust you self. Don’t ever let the bad things turn you down? Life is a gift so give your self the change to se smile and joy. Not easy doing I know, but give it a try. Out there are a lot of good things if we just take a closer look and sometimes forget our own troubles. There is a bridge over troubles waters.
Wishing you the best
