  what as your first jolt that started your wake up process?

  by yourmomma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know when you are in a deep sleep and something happens that may put you on a different level of sleeping, not as deep.

  anyway, then i thought, 90 minutes for lunch?

  so, there is a group waiting to cross the street.

  I left after 9 years ...

  i just disassociated myself after nine long years in the wtbts after researching the history of the wtbts and its founders and their lies, false prophecies and mind-control doctrines.

  read my profile for more about that.

  anyway, i'm glad there is a wonderful support group for those who have escaped the grasp of the wtbts and enjoy life again without the constant fear that the wtbts instills at every meeting.

  Shalom! I've countered JWs (including family) with the refrain, "I'd love to be part of Jehovah's organization, so please prove to me with the bible the following and I will gladly harness up again........." Then lay it on to them, one at a time. If your spouse truely wants you to be "equally yoked" she will have the clear path to accomplishing her desire.. but you and I know a snowball in hell would have a better chance....

  Your question made me think, what if it were I dieing, what would make me feel good. I guess it would be those I love acknowledging what I had contributed to humanity, how I made a positive influence on them. I want to go with the feeling I've made the lives of others better and the world a better place...

  character development in a perfect world- how??

  by chickpea in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i used to say this thing to my kids..... .

  if adam had never sinned, and humanity had never been in a "fallen state", the concepts of valour and honour and heroism would not exist.....because in a perfect world there is no need for those qualities.

  in the perfect world called paradise, that long promised land, there would be no challenges to develop those characteristics that even the present day jws lay claim to in their stories and tales of resistance and struggle again the "world".
