  How can we leave Jehovah?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jdubs talk about their loved ones or friends leaving jehovah.

  how can one leave some one who they never saw, some one who is invisible or some one who never talked to them.. what they mean is they no longer obey the borg so the borg is the same as jehovah.. long live the 8 self licking ice cream popes!!

  Sex before marriage

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  for ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.

  what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?

  in western society, you’ll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.

  OK what is the deal with Smurfs?

  by blownaway in

  2. beliefs

  i heard the crap, smurfs were magical evil creatures.

  i saw in the 80s kids parents get talked to because of the kids having one or pjs with smurfs on them but other than the urban meme where did this come from?

  was there anything printed about it?

  I don't remember anything printed about it, but I do remember it being mentioned at a local assembly. I was a Smurf-loving kid when Smurf Gate happened. There were several "demons attacking JWs" stories floating around at the time, and the Smurfs was just one of them that really some traction.

  My mom wouldn't let me watch Smurfs for a while, but, along with Scooby Doo, she finally wavered, as long as I kept it under wraps with our congregation friends. I think we had a lunch box or something with Smurfs on it. I don't think we got rid of it, but we didn't use it anymore.

  My other friends in congregation were not so lucky. Several of them were forced to get rid of every trace of Smurf toys in their house. After stories circulated about Smurfs walking in to Kingdom Halls, and one about a Smurf keychain standing up and talking, one little kid in our congregation said his stuffed Smurf toy talked to her (or so the mother said). So, out the Smurf toy went, and the frenzy continued among the JW radicals.

  Luckily, the only after-effect from the Smurf-Demons that I still suffer from is my favorite color being blue.

  what could you say to prove to a witness that they simply do not have the truth?.

  You can't. They have to come to that realization on their own.

  They have to ... I can't believe I'm saying this ... make the truth their own.

  Or ... make TTATT their own.

  Come on, guys ... don't feed the troll. I absolutely do not believe he is from JWTalk. I am guessing he is a 30 something year old ex-JW wanna-be who probably still lives in his JW mom's basement, and hasn't been able to find the guts to leave and live his life to the full. So, he sits in front of the computer and creates chaos for his own entertainment.

  Elders should not be investigating child abuse cases at all. They are not qualified. These should be their new instructions when abuse is suspected or reported:

  1. Call the authorities.

  2. Protect the victim until the authorities arrive.

  Done. They can disfellowship or interview the perp. Fine. They absolutely should not be allowed to interview children. And yes, teenagers are children, too.

  I don't get why some point to the no tolerance for gays and subjugation of women as a JW thing.

  by blownaway in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some churches have taken the step to allow gays, women instructing men ect.

  but its not a jw thing.

  its a bible thing.

  It has always confused me as to why "Christians" are so willing to condemn gays and subjugate women because the Bible says so, but they don't want to stone their children to death for disobeying (Deut. 21:18-21) or offer up their children as a burnt sacrifice (Gen. 22:2 and Judges 11:30-35).

  Also, if you're a man, you can't be a JW if you don't have a penis or your balls have been crushed (Deut. 23:1). I don't understand why they don't check to make sure when they go over the baptism questions. I mean ... it's in the Bible.
