  Thoughts on turning 65 today

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today is my 65th birthday.. chances are you have no idea what that means.. would you like to know?

  turning 65 can only be described using these two words:.

  the first: anagnorisis the moment of critical discovery; the discovery of one's own identity or true character.

  Happy Birthday Terry; I read all of your post and understand where you are coming from!

  But that's because I am 79 and feel much the same way.

  Enjoy your day.

  when i was a single male jw i knew between age 22-25 that i had major concerns with the religion.

  this had a big effect on my interaction with opp sex in the org.

  whenever i got close to someone i would consider the inevitable time that i would have to face my concerns.

  what's the scripture again that says something about...

  by cptkirk in

  god cannot be tried with evil?

  something like that.

  seems like that is a good starting point for some pretty intense logic inconsistencies no?.

  from the CD-ROM:

  (James 1:12-15)12 Happy is the man that keeps on enduring trial, because on becoming approved he will receive the crown of life, which Jehovah promised to those who continue loving him. 13 When under trial, let no one say: "I am being tried by God." For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. 14 But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.

  Ding dong with 4 JWs this morning

  by Qcmbr in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the jws were out in our area this morning and i bolted downstairs before my wife could waive them away as she normally does.. two ladies (mum and 24 year old daughter i later found out) initially stopped as i opened with a comment about how i couldn't trust a thing they say because they are taught to practice theocratic warfare.. the mother blinked and asked me what that was ( so it began ) i informed them both that they are allowed to lie or at least be evasive with the truth with worldy people.

  she countered that they are taught not to lie so i again asked her if she knew what theocratic warfare meant and she again said no (first of my many - 'please go look that up' statements .).

  i then moved onto the idea that they couldn't think independently outside the organisation due to fear of being disfellowshipped and shunned.

  Grand job Qcmbr, I get the same reaction from my wife.

  When is the return visit?

  I had a similar experience with 2 elders 14 months ago; they have never returned.

  I just can't understand why not!

  What is the actual PRODUCT being sold by Jehovah's Witnesses??

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  madison avenue became famous for selling the sizzle rather than the steak.. the point of advertising was to create an appetite for a product.. sometimes, in order to create desire for the product, advertising consisted of imposing an embedded fear that could only.

  be resolved by purchasing the solution: the product.. .

  four hundred and twelve billion dollars annually is spent on advertsing in the u.s. ($412 billion).

  WHY IT IS WRONG FOR ELDERS, MINISTERIAL SERVANTS AND PIONEERS TO SOCIALIZE WITH THE WEAK ONES!

  there is a sister in our hall who has made it clear why her "jehovah" does not like weak ones.

  her husband the po, will refuse to work with those who are not getting ten hours or more a month.

  the weak ones "are spiritually dangerous and will bring you down.

  YES! It is really like this in our KH.

  The WTBTS gets more like the Gestapo every day!

  '3rdgen'

  Tha t re mark was just one of the many things which convinced me that the WTBTS has nothing special about it except a book and magazine publishing company. The extraordinary level of lying was probably the final straw!
