it might just be me imagining things.. i hear things from my jw spies.. from all that's being said, it seems to me that the rank and file(tm), are either waking up to the scam and fading/leaving.

they are going full on 'cult mode' and acting like 'spiritual police'.. is it just me and my imagination?

have others noticed this?.

Elders harassing me

by raven in

hi everyone, it has been a while since i've last updated!

(refer to my previous posts for the full story) here is a quick re-cap: 2 months ago my mother found out that i am living with my boyfriend, she told me i was discovered by an "anonymous" tipper who turned me in for "living in sin".. first of all, that is nearly impossible, the congregation i was in is 100's of miles away from where i currently live.. no one would have ever known i was living with my boyfriend unless i told them, which i never did, i cut off all communication with that congregation in part of my attempted fade which was blown into pieces and discovered.. anyways, my mom tells me if i don't go to the elders and confess like a good little sheep, then she is obligated to tell them.. ( don't see why, i don't even live under her roof ) well i never went to them because why should i?

so they met with my mother and she told them i live with my boyfriend... let me remind you, this was two months ago.. i was told i was going to be df'd and that was that.

Talk to Mr Flipper, he has some great insights on dealing with elder harassment.

Why are anniversaries allowed but not birthdays?

by hyperpen in

the scripture quotes aside, i was always told that we don't celebrate birthdays because that is a celebration of the self, which has no place in jehovah's organization.

then why celebrate anniversaries?

anniversary celebrations are about the joining of two selves, isn't that twice as selfish?.

1. Job celebrated birthdays. (job 1:4)

2. Why would the Desert god go out of his way to make all the petty and silly prohibitions in the mosaic law and NOT say, don't celebrate birthdays. Not just the mosaic law, but the whole god damn bible.

hi, i just signed up.

i'm 35, i've been baptized 20 years, married 15 years.

it seems like the wife and i are going in opposite directions spiritually.

freemindfade

Our situations are very similar, I am 37, married 17 years, baptized at 15. She was uber dub while I was waking up a few years ago, she has changed a great deal and actually sees the org as out of whack now, its been a long, struggle, and everyone's is different. I never thought she would be the way she is now, and we had horrible horrible fights over all this in the past. Shoot me a message and we can talk.

But where else should we go? Can you answer this question?

by purrpurr in

having watched many jc youtube videos one question that gets asked is "where else would you go?".

in other words if not jehovah's witnesses then what other religion or organisation would you go to?.

it's one that i have trouble answering, what would you say?.

freemindfade

I'd rather have questions without answers than answers I can't question.

Just because a religion or ideology gives you their explanation to everything in the universe or hope, it doesn't make it truth. Its an empty statement. Islam they could say where else where we get our 70 virgins, or Mormons our own planet...

Its a dead end thought stopping comment that is empty. It means they've given up and are reduced to the most idiotic response.

Possible Military Coup in Turkey!

by cofty in

if this does turn out to be the case it could have very serious implications.... turkey hovers between western freedom and democracy and an islamic hell.

europe has been bending over backwards to keep turkey on-side and promising it fast-tracked entry to the eu in return for it's cooperation in controlling mass migration from the east.. the situation is unclear at the moment but there are tanks on the streets....
