  Having Jehovah as a friend.

  by Darkknight757 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've always found it amazing that people can say with such conviction that jehovah is their friend.. we are talking about a "friend" who perhaps daily "tests" us to see if we are his friends.

  all of us have dealt with some form of hardship such as the death of a loved one, chronic illness or whatever.

  it is in these cases that the brothers will tell a person that perhaps it is a test, or that "jehovah knows you're not ready" or some other lame excuse.. do our real friends "test" us to see if we will be loyal to them?

  A sincere message to those from the organisation monitoring my posts....

  so, i know there are some from my congregation or from bethel who monitor my posts..... maybe you're looking for something to catch me out?.

  just a question: rather than trying to find fault with me, have you stopped and looked into the issues or facts about the organisation that caused me to come to a place like this forum??.

  facts are there for anyone to find nowadays....one just has to be willing to pull their head out of the sand.....

  Suffering from an org doesn't necessarily delete it's validity

  You are a victim of the worst kind of brainwashing. Any organization can have good or bad effects. Even groups we find appalling and dangerous have turned people around from "bad" things. All that being said none of this has to do with validity either. What makes jws valid? If you were a Mormon you'd be saying the same thing. Or a branch dividian. Or a nazi. Or a radical Muslim. What makes your beliefs so valid????

  I can understand his ambiguity.

  We don't know whats on the back end. Someone he knows could have called him by his user name, mentioned something he said. Its not that unusual. I know someone this just happened to. They took screen shots and sent them to him for christs sake!

  Its not that odd

  Anyone who claims witnesses don't stalk potential defectors, what do you base this on?

  Granted I may not know anyone reason headquarters would monitor and individual (unless its a big hitter that they send their trademark goons after). But on a small scale relatives and elders? No? I know of such instances and in a wacky religious cult it is nothing unusual.

  For those stalking stuckinarut2:

  You need to take a real hard look at the pathetic, small, petty lives this organization has cause you to lead. You are monitoring, stalking, and investigating your fellow man for his own freedom of mind. Think about what that means about the group you belong to? The self righteous totalitarian actions are not humane, they are not christian. Its sick, think about it. You are no different than South Korea, Scientology, the Amish, and many others who practice the exact same type of harassment and intrusion. You should be utterly ashamed but you wont be because you belong to a arrogant smug cult.

  Think about it, the big leaks that happened must have shaken them up, I think it's quiet for right now because of that.

  1. Lots of people have been let go, who knows if the source of the leaks was one
  2. They are probably very cautious now, can you imagine the distrust they must feel for their own house?
  3. There isn't much leak-worthy at the moment.

  If the sources are even still there, they may need to be more careful as the leadership now sees their house is in disarray.

  Star Killer Base discovered

  by Coded Logic in

  dimming star remains mystery, but it's likely not caused by comets.

  remember that space anomaly of the dimming star that had everyone crying "aliens"?

  well, it's still as mysterious as ever.

  WT Study 1/10/16 Encouraging Child Baptism And More Nonsense

  by JW_Rogue in

  i've noticed that each wt lesson really only has one or two points they want remembered.

  normally they build up to these by about the third subheading.

  this week's lesson though was different, the main point was insidiously made through an experience in the first paragraph:.

  Baptism is a contract.

  The jw pyramid scheme is starting to hit it's apex and die. They need to lock more people in to keep numbers up.
