This is wrong, taking this pour mans personal life and pushing him to this. Cults are BAD, yes, worse than pornography

When you were Hard-Core JW, did Opponents Screaming or Filming you help your Exit?

by PokerPlayerPhil in

all of us are upset in different ways, some of us are ferociously angry because, let's face it, it's our fault!

i had many clues they were lying about our religion but i failed to see through them because of the pain of admitting we got conned and family pressure from peers stopped me from making a courageous choice.

when i read about people who confronted the elders and won their judicial committees (even though the jw elders df'ed them) my heart goes out to their courage, their amazingly stronger than i will ever be.

That stuff did not make me leave. At all, most of the people participating appeared unstable, I can understand how a cult can push you to that point, however, that's the challenge, not responding to crazy with crazy

this story makes me ill with rage.

this man's crime?

There is no real love in this organization, the people that are loving are that way by no account of this f-ing cult. All the rest truly are a product of it though. Its sad.

Hell if he had attempted and failed, he probably would have been dissfellowshipped for attempted suicide... assholes

...You're such an inspiration for the ways

That I'll never ever choose to be

Oh so many ways for me to show you

How the savior has abandoned you

Fuck your God

Your Lord and your Christ

He did this

Took all you had and

Left you this way

Still you pray, you never stray

Never taste of the fruit

You never thought to question why ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt0Zqo-vOFM

...If you want to get your soul to heaven.
Trust in me now don't you judge or question.
You are broken now but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_3gn03zS00

...I won't bow to something that I've never seen
I can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me
I'm not blood of your blood, I'm no son of your god
I've no faith in your fate
Still I find salvation...

World becoming more religious not less

by Stealth in

this is bad news for the evolution of humankind.

even worse, islam is the fastest growing religion.

The world is full of stupid people. Fortunately more and more smart people are abandoning religion, sadly though their aren't a lot of smart people.

The idocracy effect. Ignorant folks breed like rabbits. Their superstitious mythological ideas are then indoctrinated into the masses.

We are all born atheists. Someone else gives us religion.

And so it begins...

by StarTrekAngel in

wife and i have not reported a single hour of fs in 3-4 months.

while my wife is mostly doing for me (positive thing), i know she would have rather done it.

elder asked me to turn in my fs report this past week and then he added... "we need to talk".

freemindfade

Here for support. You can play along with it. I have told them I got fed up with the idea of counting time. And it's not that I don't do spiritual things. And compassionate things. And I'm happy now with that. When/if I get to the point of turning in time I will let them know. The elders I have delt with in my last two halls since stopping. They have gone through the routine they have to, but they are good guys and respectful of my choices. All about perception. The rat race of counting time and kissing ass wasnt good for you.

Reports of lower memorial attendance

by thedepressedsoul in

i have heard a lot of reports from kingdom halls in the area that there was less than last year, for both time slots.. we had the first time slot and we were down 50+/- compared to last year.

last year we had the lobby full of people standing and this year we had empty seats and no one standing.

we ran out of parking last year and this year we made it.. like i said i am hearing quite a few reports of this from halls in our area.however, somehow the number seem to inch up every year.

Absalom

my wife was talking about the new LDC arrangement and made it seem like halls are busting at the seams, I can only gather that is NOT here in the US as I see the opposite everywhere I go.

Watchtower June 15 2015, Misleading Reference to Past Statement...

by BluesBrother in

if this has been posted up before, then i missed it...... they call this organization "the truth" so we might expect it to be accurate .

they themselves they have previously championed honesty :.

live with jehovahs day in mind (2006) p115 par 9.

I love this stuff but it is so frustrating. Why? because it is true facts and clear evidence of the witnesses polishing their past, but on the flip side its the most impossible thing to use to try and wake someone up. because as I posted before, they care little about truth if it interferes with UNITY, I would love to show this to witness family, but they would freak out, 'WHERE DID YOU FIND SUCH OLD MATERIAL ON THE ORG"???? "YOU MUST BE TALKING TO APOSTATES!!" The truth sadly takes a back seat. But I love this, thank you for your hard work.

Satan a Murderer?

by freemindfade in

so took the wives car instead of mine in today, the watchtower was playing, i got to hear t.morris life story as narrated by him, but that is another story entirely... long story short, the study article it went into was about satan.

first of all the person reading sounded like the epitome of a brainwashed drone.

second this is why meeting and hearing these things make me more of an unbeliever than any exjw website.

Also why did the angels have no obedience "tree" since the tree according to the insight book was symbolic of god being the final say on obedience. When you research sin as I did many years ago, its interesting to note the "original sin" did not happen on earth. No, it happened in heaven with an arrogant angel made the decision to go against god's wishes. Satan committed the original sin, Adam and Eve were casualties. yet it seem for 6000 years according to this book of myth, man has bore the brunt of the pain and suffering while the original sinner is blamed for inflicting it.
