Have any of you been to e-watchman?

by Silvia Plath in

jw

http://www.e-watchman.com/.

this site is also made up of many ex and current jw's, the difference is they all remain deeply committed to christianity and bible study, but are extremely distrustful of the watch tower orginanization and consider it to be a "pharisee" or a "false prophet" what the bible warns of.

from what i am reading they seem to be the beginning movements of a break away sect, many of them praise russell who seems to have been more spiritual and laid back and trace the demise of the movement with rutherford, who began introducing all the messed up rules they have now.

Arwen, exactly the case with me, I was on there before he was DF'd also, and found it fascinating in the beginning, it was instrumental for opening my eyes to the real "TRUTH", when I continued reading on here and doing more research into other cultures that were around before the Hebrews IT WAS ALL OVER, I rarely go to that site anymore, it's just the same old people discussing the same old things, thinking that the Borg will be readjusted and that they are the evil slave, but change is coming bla,bla,bla. They still believe in the Bible BS, I'm beyond that now so I don't see any sense in it.

The "Revelation" Book...did you HATE that thing as much as I did??

by LovesDubs in

jw
friends

ok the first time i thought it was pretty cool how they applied every little scripture to themselves.

i sat rapt with my young children while we discussed wonderful things to come.

the second time i was like...where's my old book with all the notes in the margins, im not looking all this sh-t up again!.

ICBehindtheCurtain

This is actually a GOOD THING! While going through that garbage yet again, I believe that the faithful R&F will begin to see how absurd the claims in that book are, about the bible having foretold anything about the WTS. (I hope so anyway) And with all the info available on the Internet they might begin to research the WTS history, and that, would be the beginning of the end of the brainwashed state they are in.

Also, if the CO's thought that bookstudy attendance was bad before, wait until they start to study the Revelation book! Just the thought of it, makes me want to BARF!

Could the 'Annointed' really be 'Demonized'?

by AK - Jeff in

jw
friends

especially the higher ups in the organization - gb et al.

they feel 'chosen' in some special way.

could their 'wicked' actions be explained by the 'father' that has chosen them?.

ICBehindtheCurtain

Since I no longer believe in "Satan" or his "Demons" I don't really believe they are demonized, I think all humans have the ability to be evil if they so choose, I think that some rational and generally kind people, if placed in completely different circumstances and given absolute power can become corrupted and change the way they are, when you have no one to answer to and you are holding the cards, what you do after that shows your true character. That's the reason why I really doubt the GB members in control even believe in God, I think they know it's all a sham, and are just playing the part for the Corporation's sake.

Their behaviour with the R&F goes against what true God fearing individuals would do. The fact that they place the Organization first, speaks volumes about who their TRUE GOD is, and that's POWER and MONEY! The belief in Satan began much later for the Hebrews, in the beginning they believed good and bad came from the same god. Their time in Babylon exposed them to other ideas and beliefs and this contributed to some of the stories they adopted and made their own. So no, I don't believe they are demonized.

ICBehindtheCurtain

Thank you LDH for your amazing accomplishment!! JR Brown's comments just go to show what BS this summer's ASSembly is when he admits and we all know, that the WTS has absolutely no direction from God- sooooooo....How do they know the "END" is near, who told them? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is GREAT!!! ALSO, THERE IS NO DAMN END! except maybe for the WTS! Hopefully!

alleged pedophile jw minister caught in ny

he may have been molesting kids interstate in also, as well as in the carribean to which the watchtower society over jws had been sending him courtesy of membership donated moneys.

ICBehindtheCurtain

Spiritual Paradise my **s, these people are far worse than your average hoodlum. This is a true tragedy, and it has to end NOW! I really hope that these latest incidents blow it all out in the open, once the general public is outraged they will be forced to change this stupidity.

Latest News In JW Sex Scandal

by Kenneson in

it's the top news at http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_178173758.html .

see "boy in minister sex scandal speaks to cbs.

investigators compiling mountain of evidence against suspect.

ICBehindtheCurtain

THIS IS GREAT! A perfect opportunity for the justice system to start investigating the JW child abuse guidelines, and when they do, I hope they publicize it to the MAX, so everyone can see that the "Spiritual Paradise" BS is just that! I wonder how many JW kids he abused accross south america, where if you come from the US and especially Bethel you are considered like a saint. I'm from NY originally and I remember how many parents looked up to Bethelites, and would send their boys out on service and studies with these guys hoping that this would help their kids spiritually, and inspire them to become Bethelites themselves. Now that I look back, I wonder how many young boys were messed up, by these guys.

I'm so glad my boys are out of that mess!

i just happened to google jehovah witnesses in french "temoins de jehovah" and found this interesting article.

les temoins de jehovah sollicitent la population annonceur vedette clinique dentaire francois les temoins de jehovah sollicitent la population les temoins de jehovah organisent une campagne sans precedent a victoriaville et les environs afin dinviter la population a leur congres annuel sous le theme : la delivrance est proche!

ICBehindtheCurtain

THIS IS GREAT!! I really hope alot of non JW people go to these CRAP ASSemblies and see what a load of BS it is, and when they start talking against the kids getting higher education, these people will surely walk out....wondering why the hell they bothered to go to this CULT meet. This will indeed help people see what this religion is about, and they will hopefully never open their doors to another JW.

Although I really think this whole campaign thing is geared toward the R&F witnesses, to keep them busy, I doubt any non witnesses will make an effort to go to this stupidity.

i care about all of you.

i love some of you and have told you that, some i love and haven't told (yet).

for some of us, those here truly are family and friends.

ICBehindtheCurtain

You guys are all AMAZING, I love you all! You have helped me in my journey to find who I truely am, outside of the WTS cult, your informative posts have taught me so much, your wacky ones have brought a smile to my face many times, our outrage at the WTS neverending stupidity is always entertaining and they keep it coming. THANK YOU SIMON for making this possible for all of us! We are all an amazing bunch, there are people here who are Christians, Atheists, Catholics, Wiccans, Deists and other's I can't think about now, yet although we don't always agree, in the end we share a common bond and come together anyway!

I don't always post, but you better believe that my morning coffee is accompanied by reading on this board and seeing what you guys are up to. Love and Light to ALL!!!

Update! Attending Sunday Meeting and Loving it!

by drew sagan in

jw
friends

yep that's right folks, yours truely has actually been attending the sunday meeting.

many will ask, why in the hell would you ever do that?

well, developments going on in my world have led me to this decision.

ICBehindtheCurtain

Drew, I salute you, I wish I had the guts to answer in those damn meetings and try to enlighten someone. Although I'm no longer a Christian, what you said IS what the bible say's, that it's only through Jesus we are saved, if they are going to use the bible they should not twist it around to support their stooopid dogma.
