OMG!! the Stereotyping!!

did anyone notice the blatant stereotyping in the ' remember the wife of lot' video?.

the only thing missing with the oriental family was a pony tailed servant named 'hopsing' and that they all go off to work at the family laundry.. the mexican family ate tacos, refried beans, and hotsauce ('not there is anything wrong with hotsauce'....,sienfeld) at every meal, and of course the dad was a landscaper.

wtf!?!?

The death of Nathan H. Knorr on June 8, 1977

The death of Frederick W. Franz on December 22, 1992

Not that I witnessed their deaths directly, but that I lived during the time that these 2 men perpetuated the lie of 1975 and that they lived long enough to see their false prophecy fail! No wonder Knorr cried his eyes out during the last annual meeting he attended.(That I did witness.)

Some prayers really annoy me

by stillin in

i realize that prayer is a really personal thing, but representing a group in prayer has become so full of cliche's that i just want to vomit sometimes.

co week almost every prayer has the phrase "special week of activity" in it.. then there's "please look after the sick and afflicted.".

not so much anymore, "please bless this food and the hands that prepared it.".

Please bless us with a double portion of your holy spirit.............

Oooooppppppsssss......can't say that any more. Old light.

This video 'parody' is more truthful than the one presented at this years convention. I was a 20 year old Bethelite in 1975 and remember the 1975 fiasco very well. Watching this creative video, 'She'd Never Grow Old', brought a tear my eyes!

I salute you, Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society. You will try and 'weasel' out of anything and present yourselves in the best possible light.

The "faithful slave" urges confession in latest Watchtower!

by The Searcher in

watchtower october 2017, page 11, par.

17 - confess and abandon secret sins.

some christians who have committed a serious sin try to cover it over in order to avoid embarrassing themselves or disappointing others.

'Me confess? What are you going to disfellowship me for? APOSTACY? You'll never make it stick.......I wrote most of this $hit! AHHHHH...ha...ha...ha...ha....ha...ha....!'

(Disclaimer: There was no 'formal' disfellowshipping in the Judge's day. He thought it was wrong. But if he didn't like you, he'd kick you out of Bethel personally.)

New Here

by Red.tomato in

hi everyone, this is my first post .. it takes a little bit of courage to do it, i have to admit and even thought i have been lurking for some time as time goes by it gets more and more difficult to keep attending meetings and just been around the friends in the congregation.

ever since i learned about the arc something inside of me just broke and it feels pretty hollow, now i pay attention to every single form of manipulation in every direction, what difference it makes with the catholic church or with any other religions ?

i wonder why the publishers are under obligation to report about their lives and decisions to the elders but they don´t keep informed the congregation about what´s going on legally other than russia.

Welcome to the forum. You will find many fine people that post here and much good information that will help you free yourself from Jehovah's Witnesses form of 'spirituality'. I note that you say that you are 'becoming weak spiritually'. Actually, you are probably becoming more of a 'spiritual' person as you weaken the hold that the Jehovah's Witnesses perverted form of 'spirituality' has on you. Best wishes and I look forward to your future posts.
