  They've Exposed Their Hand

  by OneFingerSalute in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so the wtb&t$ have either intentionally or unwittingly exposed their hand in this mornings wt indoctrination article.. this is a direct quote from par.

  "regardless of how long we have been in the truth, we must tell others about jehovah's organization.

  " the question is, "what obligation does psalm 48: 12-14 place on us?".

  A poll of sorts: How long have you been a "fader" for?

  by SecretSlaveClass in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm curious about the following:.

  1) how long have you been a fader for?.

  2) how often do you still get pressure from congregation members and/or family to return as an active witness?.

  1) 2-3 years

  2) once every few months. Only from elders who just want to check in and "make sure everything is ok"

  3) my fiend. 10+ years. He's fallen of the organization radar. Only his folks pressure.

  4) DA yes. Done plenty to be df'd. But what they don't know won't get me there.

  5) family treats me as df'd. Maybe a little less but not much. Just on technicality. Congregation just cautious. It's awkward for them because I'm social and have people over and get close to them to its messes with their head I think.

  6) I know if I DA it's final. I'm not coming back at all. So don't really want to out mom through it and I have some very close friends around the country that I don't want to alienate. Mostly I don't da to keep wife from being alienated.

  7) 2-3 Sundays. Stopped doing midweek meeting. Assemblies still go with wife. Just for her.

  8) I'm about 95% but closer to letting go of that 5% every day.

  The mind is powerful. Just ask anyone who's ever played with lsd or dmt. The power of your mind to dictate your reality is incredible. Ie the dress is blue.

  London Bethelites Are Agitated!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a source has informed me that a relative who's in london bethel has said that a number of bethelites there are very uncomfortable and embarrassed because the branch has received "quite a few letters" querying why members of the governing body were wearing flashy rings and jewellery on some of the monthly broadcasts, but on the broadcast when the g.b.

  asked for more money from the congregations - their gold and jewellery was not on display!.

  will probably emerge one day wearing sackcloth, begging for yet more donations..

  Jesus was historical, and inspired too!

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jesus said something that only our generation could provide an avalanche of proof.

  he said: it is easier for a camel to get through a needles eye than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of god.

  (mathew 19:24).

  Eschetology prophecies are ridiculous. Every generation says these prophecies are/were about them. They are vague. Prove nothing. But somehow people are convinced they always describe their time period. Interesting no???

  Thats also why I don't play the "depressed" "stressed" etc cards. I know everyone has to do what they have to do to justify their fade. But for me I like to portray the opposite. I'm perfectly healthy, I won't play into their portrayal of faders as "weak" and "pitiful". I fully understand why that has to be done though. But, I just choose to give a true image. I'm happy, social, fun, and totally at peace with out doing the jw song and dance.

  I was thinking of starting a similar thread. But decided to wait until the end of the year for the class of 2015 post.

  For me my exit was slow over a couple years. Faded. Still attending some meetings with wife.

  I joined this site in Feb 2015. Id put that as my out date.

  feeling of hopelessness and fear

  by 060702015 in

  2. friends

  do you have feelings of hopelessness and fear for not having a religion?.

  do you envy happy jehovah witnesses and living their lives carefree?.

  August Study WT "Prepare Now to be a Good Little Drone in the New Order"

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought paradise was supposed to be a delight?

  not according to the august study wt, on page 20 paragraphs 4-12 it outlines how much paradise will be exactly like being in the org today.

  still following rules, waiting on jehovah and obeying those taking the lead.

  You know one of the comments in last weeks watchtower made me sick. Something to the effect of:

  "We owe him love, expressed in obedience; and when we sin we fail in paying our debt of love to him, for sin is unloving toward God"

  Love? Debt? seriously? "paying our debt of love" it just sounds disgusting.

  They want to keep pounding the obedience, indebted sinner crap into peoples head.

  God is a wonderful guy for not killing you, because he owns you. And can do what ever he wants.

  I was told it was like this...

  Wake up, pet lion, eat fruit, laugh and have picnic on the graves of the unbelievers, sleep repeat...

  Looks like that changed. NEW LIGHT!
