  what kind of bible education did the governing body really give us?

  how much important information about it did the watchtower really teach us?

  how much are we missing out on if we are one of jehovahs witnesses?.

  They talked so much about "having the mind of the desert god in your mind" I was thinking why do we have free will.

  Other jems from this idiot CO

  The purpose of life... the great question...the very meaning of life for humans...why we are here...

  "To give praise to jehovah"...

  That is the purpose and meaning of life. Fail...

  We were created with the intent to worship the creator...really??? If it were all true which none of it is, i'd want no part.

  Blondie I think you are correct. But I like the acronym SAD.

  There was a part on the symposium about managing your family resources. It was basically about having enough budgeted to give to the organization.

  Also the public discourse was blatantly hypocritical. About what God thinKS of religion. Whole thing was patting the organization on the back and trashing other religions for thinga the organization is totally guilty of. It was vomit worthy

  Ahum...only 130 languages

  by menrov in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in wt study edition december 2015, article called jehovah, the god of communication, par.

  as a result, the new world translation is now available in whole or in part in over 130 languages.

  to many jw's this will sound impressive.

  The "god of communication"???

  You mean the desert god they believe threw a hissy fit shortly after the flood to confound communication with "languages" .

  The stupidity of religion and the bible knows no limits. It's like stupidity piled on top of stupidity.

  when you look through a keyhole, and see the person you once were?.

  as for myself, i am just pleased i have mended my ways.

  i realise ( now) my time as a witness was a keyhole that looked in to the ground, and licked the elders arse.

  Read something from Dan bilzerrian today on his ig about happiness. And it's basically what I have come to understand at this point in my life as have many others. That two things make you miserable. Fear & judgment. I got baptized basically because of those two things even though I told myself differentry at the time. I grew out of those things, but because I made a choice that put me captive in this shit cult, I grew out of it but still have those elements in my life because I can't undo the baptism. I am embarrassed my 15 year old self wasn't smarter than to get baptized.

  In a lot of ways I always felt embarrassed being a witness.

  Being different didn't bother me, ie not celebrating holidays it really didn't matter to me, and despite being a witness I had many many "worldly" friends and it did not stunt me socially.

  Being a witness did limit me, I was sought after for extra curricular sports etc, and never could do it. I never fretted over it too much, but it did suck.

  Preaching... preaching the witnesses crap was embarrassing... waking people up, making them come to the door on a saturday morning when they are trying to enjoy their family, or their free time, or their sleep or whatever, i found that infinitely unnecessary and yes... embarrassing as hell!

  I'm not so sure a bigger awakening is going to happen anymore

  when i left in march officially i started reading the forums here.

  i had this excitement that more people would be leaving soon because of the crazy broadcasts, the crazy "new light" that the gb was dishing out, and more recently the australian royal commission lighting up geoffrey.

  this past saturday i had an elder stop by to chat for the first time since i left.

  1. Old guard is passing away

  2. Next generatons aren't reaching out

  3. The very young are leaving

  4. Informaton is more available and easy to access and the kids these days are savvy to that.

  5. Science and archeological discoveries daily discredit the bible and the more we learn about our universe the smaller the idea of a middle eastern contrived yhwh seems.

  Knowledge vs superstition. Because it's a captive religion it's big and hard to leave. Hopefully each generation is less captive and it starts dying
