Just another way to grab the emotional weak (at the time) promise something so extraordinary, so far reaching, so desirous, that in time they have got them in their trap and it is hard to escape when believed. Not much different than another cult promising to build a flying saucer to go to another planet where life is bliss. Both will not happen!

when in field service, was there any stupid rules that had to be followed?
by rockmehardplace ini was reading the topic on sisters having to sit in the backseat even if it was their car.
made me think of a few rules i was subjected to.
one was we were not allowed to have a radio on.

Making sure not too many jdubs "congregate" on the sidewalk and heaven forbid talk to each other for 2 minutes. Reading all these comments it is so evident that jw's are the true modern day pharisee's with thousands of rules that just bring down the flock.

2010 Circuit Assembly..........Sunday Program nonsense and madness.
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini went to the sunday circuit assembly and came back all riled up with all the nonsense.. the sunday program was on ''safeguarding your spirituality''.
''it is better to remain single and not marry.
that gives you more time for studying and the preaching work.

When you fully believed it was the truth .
by Broken Promises indid you intend to leave your estate to the wts when you died?.
in several threads ive read, ppl make comments to the effect that theres no point leaving money to jws, because they would just leave the money to the wts anyway.. .
this is an assumption that i believe is a generalisation.. .

Makes me sick that the wt cult brainwashes innocent people to do such a thing, while leaving their children with barely anything.

During the whole 2 days I heard the term "the end is so close" only once. My guess was because of the new, new , new , new, new ,new generation teaching.

Most Annoying Things That Happen At JW Meetings
by LittleSister intoday i was remembering how angry i used to get at the meetings and all the little irritations that in the end would just make my blood boil these included:.
prayers that go on foreverstudy or wt conductors still taking comments when its clear that the point has been covered 20 times alreadymeetings over running by more than 5 minsmy favourite was this one elder who would play guess the point i am thinking of.
he would keep rephrasing the question from the wt until someone would bring up the point he was thinking of.

Everyone looking up the same bloody scripture that we have all read ten million times, the scripture has finished being read and still yes still idiots are turning their pages to find this scripture they have read ten million times.
Having to talk to brother stupid/annoying after every meeting because there is no else to speak to. And all you're thinking is, please get me out of here and never come back, this is torture.

There is life after Jehovahs Witnesses
by James_Slash ini've been a member on this site for a number of years but i have never posted what i really think of the jw's and the org.. i left about 10 years ago - mentally.
but i have only made the long term decision to leave and never go back over the past 2-3 years.. it was difficult.
i have family and many friends who i still converse with on a regular basis.. being on the outside now i see what a major farce and a hypocritical state of affairs it all really is.. i often hear the comment "only people in the truth are really happy" and being a friend 'on the outside' many of my associates on the inside are far to easy to reveal exactly what they get up to when they are not at meetings or out knocking doors.. pre-marital sex, drunkenness, nightclubs, dating websites...the list goes on and on.

Every time a disaster happens, it's all about them
by JimmyPage inthe earthquakes in haiti affected by far more non-jws than dubs.
but every time something like this happens, somehow it's all about them!
it's a fulfillment of prophecy, and oh, how are our brothers doing, and screw the rest of the "ungodly" world!

In their relief effforts they never help families or individuals who are not jw's, even though they are suffering. What they are saying is, if you want our help join our religion. Bunch of evil bastards!!!!

So what's in it for the WTS?
by leec ini'm still just trying to understand ..... what is the real essence of why the leaders at the very core of this religion do what they do?
i assume they are all in the 144k, so i get that.
but i mean ... that can't be the entire motivation for all this misery.

Existence.
They are so deeply involved in this cult they know absolutley nothing else at all. Literally nothing else. So if the religion dies, in effect they die, if the religion propers, they feel a sense of success in their lives.
