A new member
by Kurteousmaximus inhi... i am new and after nearly 20 years after being disassociated at 15 i would like to make contact with others who have similar difficulties.
my mother was disfellowshipped shortly after my rebellion and had all ties with both her mother and brother cut and that remains the case.. just really hacked off with not being able to put things in the proper place in my life after all these years.
for the record i don't know if i believe in god but am searching for some peace as i seem to self destruct on a regular basis.. any ideas anyone?.

WT opinion about anointed Christians
by Gorbatchov injesus said "look to the fruits" of real christians.. it is unbelievable that the wt says that new anointed christians are merely false.
how can humans decide who is anointed and who's not?.
how can the watchtower society say these unchristian statements?

Watchtower and the gb have become full time apologists. More and more vocal. Hopefully in member start seeing how they are now constantly explaining, reexplaining, and excusing themselves and their ideas.
Also how arrogant they show they are by referring to anyone who believes they have the some privilege is wrong and therefore mentally and emotionally defective. When they are wrong it's new light when anyone else then nut job.

My mom who thought she had some special gift for reading between the watchtower lines and the bible was thoroughly convinced Armageddon would always start in October because it always had significance in the bible. Which really makes sense if you think about bible stories, yes stories, written by a group who high holy days were in the fall. Any every year it had to be coming this october! Some one in the US farted! Thus Armageddon! -

THE WATCHTOWER (STUDY EDITION) JANUARY 2016
by wifibandit inpdf .
this issue contains the study articles for february 29 to april 3, 2016.. what about the number of those partaking at the memorial?12, 13. why should we not worry about the number of those who eat the bread and drink the wine at the memorial?12 in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christs death.
that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

Others may have mental or emotional problems that lead them to believe that they will rule with Christ in heaven.
What arrogant bastards, of course they have to deride anyone taking away their thunder. here is the way I see it...
Mental Problems: Steven Lett
Emotional Problems: Anthony Morris III

Cult or Religion
by Richard C B inwhat is a cult and what is a religion?
its open to debate.
who has the authority to say for certain what is a cult and what is a religion?

Richard do some research on brainwashing. Some of the strongest psychological studies into the area weren't even with religions. It just so happens that some such as scientology, jw, etc employ the same systematic models for undue influence. -

Mad Irishman, I think it has already been stated (I know I said it)
ALL RELIGIONS ARE IN FACT CULTS
But some excel at bad deeds, ie how you are treated for leaving. Witness are harmful, exercise undue control, and are coercive and dangerous.

The right to shun - wrong?
by Simon inmany people are understandably upset and angry at the notion that jws have the right to shun people.
it seems such an obvious "no brainer" cruel and inhuman thing to do - it must be wrong ... surely?.
of course we look at things from the perspective of those hurt and harmed by shunning.
