  Do you think that Armaggeddon is "near" or many, many years away?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am 40 years old and i have been hearing the same old song by jw's "armaggeddon is around the corner" since i was a toddler.

  it has to come to their minds that how long are they going to keep saying that armaggeddon is "near" or "around the corner"?

  or they eventually going to quit believing in this fantasy and look at reality?

  jgnat, funny you should mention that....
  
  I never told my ex partner, i was ashamed of being a JW for so long, i hated it so much. My current partner i told a few years ago, we'd been seeing each other for about a year and told her. Nothing was really said after that, my mrs is cool, but the other week after lurking and posting on here for a bit, and after being with her for nearly 6 years now i told her all my experiences and we discussed my life as a dub! It opened her eyes and she understands now why i hate authority figures, and have a inane revulsion of religion, and my lack of compassion towards idiots!

  Looking forward to Armageddon?

  by Gill in

  2. friends

  my eldest daughter (21) said something that stopped me in my tracks yesterday.

  we were busy wrapping christmas presents (yes, we've started early this year) for her younger siblings.

  then she started laughing and said: 'isn't it nice to have christmas, birthdays, easter, bonfire night, halloween etc to look forward to instead of only looking forward to armageddon!'.

I had forgotton that was the official line! Now i love my sister, but just because i choose to live for today and not some Fairy Tale, do i have to be condemned to Tartarus for eternity because i found Non-Jesus!

  Which aspect of JWs would you like to see a documentary about?

  by Gadget in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you had a chance to make a documentary about some aspect of the jws, what would ou choose?

  would you talk about shunning, the blood issue, explain how its a cult, or what?

  unfortunately this would only be for an 8 minute segment on a current affairs programme so i need something that'll get peoples attention and make them think without having to go too deep into the subject.. what would you choose to talk about?.

  i'd like the legal ramifications of a disfellowshipping to be examined. The mental anguish it causes by the "kangaroo court" style of trial by hearsay! The people conducting these "court martials" are neither qualified or in a position to administer these cruel sessions. And the public shame they dish out when the poor soul is "Publicly Reproved" is probably more damaging than actual disfellowshipping. Shurely you could sue for mental damages, having to recount in sordid detail to the comittee's predilictions. When I was publiclly reproved, i made a point of being there at the meeting it was announced, and stood up and clapped, said Bravo, and walked out! Bastards never saw me again! luckily for me i was so removed from the herd, that i didn't feel the guilt trips they laid on you, and i prety much despised the vast majority of oxygen stealers anyway. No great loss on my part. Although i did feel a bit for my family who still went at that time, although my dad had been DF'ed shortly before.

  Poor "artist formerly known as Prince know known as Prince" he didn't quite make the minimum height limit for the Scientoligists so had to make do with the Dubs! I bet he gets backroom "talks" with the elders in his congreagtion about driving a little red corvette, OMG its a 2 door, how will you drive all these tight arse sponging "pioneers" around! would be cool to have him rock up at your door though! I would invitehim in for some tea and biscuits, and when he goes into his spiel, ask him to excuse me for a minute, then go and get dressed up as prince and scare the shit out of him!!! crazed fan!!!! not that i like prince, i always thought he looked like midget covered in glue and dipped in pubic hair!

  Is there anthropological evidence proving the Nephilim's existence?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've had this question is my mind for a while now, but has there been any skeletal remains discovered that could prove the existence of the nephilim?.

  there's so many unanswered questions about these giants - first of all, were they really hybrids?.

  secondly, if the demons could materialise and procreate, how do we not know that they gave their children the same reproductive powers?.

  No one has touched on the fact that we are probably Nephilim to our ancestors! The average height of an adult male now, is considerably larger than it was back in the days of Noah (David Attenborough circa. 2000bc) But then the bible is just a book of folklore anyhows, I find Tolkien a better read personally, far more beleivable!

  IS THIS WHY ELDERS ARE SO EGOTISTICAL??

  by chuckyy in

  i have this theory.. someone once said to me.....' its no good coming into the truth if you are a sensitive person.'.

  i have found in my experience as a former elder that a lot of elders have very large egos.

  my theory is this:.

  Definately agree there, the elders in my old congregation loved the power! The most morose dumbass blokes around, given this perceived power, shit yeah they abused it! And for the Cheshire set here, does anyone remember from the mid 80's early 90's perhaps a Circuit Overseer called Tom something or other? he looked a bit like Benny Hill, but less amusing. He was the most obnoxious arrogant SOB i have ever met, far worse than anyone i have ever met "in the world" He lambasted the congreagtion, called us all spiritually weak the whole week he was there! I remember my dad doing an impression of him and he was hilarious! He was originally from Bath, and all he harped on about was how wonderful the congregation was in Bath, most people in our hall were muttering "well eff-off back there then" under their breaths! He was a prick!
