  You Can't Live Forever in Paradise on Earth

  by smmcroberts in

  this will come as no shock to most of us.

  but i wanted to detail the reasons in simple language for our witness friends in my latest blog: you can't live forever in paradise on earth.

  sorry if it bursts anyone's bubble, but those who are loyal to the truth surely won't mind following where it leads.

  Tiresome Speculation

  by Wayward Son in

  the boys at wt hq seem pretty sincere about the end being just a whisper away.

  much of what they are doing smells of a batten down the hatches and brace for impact mindset.

  i know this is a drum they have been beating for decades, but.... [if !supportlists]- [endif]the intensity seems to be ramping up.. [if !supportlists]- [endif]they know more about the lawsuits, low baptisms, youth retention rate, apostate uprising, etc... than we do.. [if !supportlists]- [endif]i think many of them really believe they are gods one true organization and they view these events as prophesy-fulfilling.. [if !supportlists]- [endif]i think they foresee their own impending demise.. they are taking all the guess work out of the state of their stability.

  Mother, Father, Brother, Son... just words

  by irondork in

  this month marks 1 year since i have seen or spoken with family.

  it's not the first time i've been through this.

  disfellowshipped, reinstated, disassociated.

  One valuable lesson I recieved form the Watchtower, Bible and Tract Society is that words like Mother, Father, Brother, Son... are just words. They describe a person who performs a certain function or occupies a particular space in your life. When that function or space is no longer performed or occupied, the word no longer carries any meaning aside from an entry in the dictionary.

  That is very tough to read.

  Who On This Site Would You Like To Meet?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".

  and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.

  simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.

  why did you become a jehovah's witness ?.

  initially upon entering the religion what were the positive things you experienced ?.

  how did that particular way of thinking both benefit and harm you ?.

  Anonymous And Pro JW Discussion Forums

  by DT in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  regardless of your opinions of anonymous, they have been busy working against the watchtower society and may end up inflicting some serious damage soon.

  anonymous has a very different culture than the xjw community.

  they should not be seen as in alliance with us, even though we share some common goals.. anonymous tends to resent being viewed as a personal army for another person or group.
