  to get attention, because of low self esteem, because they like this site but feel stuck in a rut, lots of reasons. of course most xjw's are nuts in different ways - myself included - its just a way of life in the xjw - jw scheme of things

  Apostates - some common misconceptions

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a follow on to my post on the feb 15th wt, guard against deception, i thought it would be interesting to summarize some common misconceptions the society has about apostates.. the society says .

  satan has long used apostates in his efforts to seduce god's servantsi can only think of judas, and really, are we assuming that satan is influencing everyone that opens their eyes to this religion?.

  apostates claim to worship jehovah, but they reject the visible part of his organizationapostates can worship jehovah.

  some things I've learned about apostates since leaving the JW's:

  1. Most are bitter people who can't let go (does not apply to some people, such as Princess and family and others I've met)

  2. Most have an "agenda" just like JW's. Exactly the same as JW's, just with a mindset against

  i say yes.. really, what is wrong with it?

  is it morally or ethically wrong?

  is it against your conscience?

  I think its a terrible idea. If you do that, you are just as bad as the JW's...shouldn't you strive to be above all of that nonsense?

  I think this post could just as easily have been called "the weird things that only XJW's do"...like complain about "the borg" (sort of sounds like its own cult term) complain about "the dubs" dissect the watchtower

  Circuit overseer "rips them a new one"

  my jw buddy just called me with some "fun" news.

  they had the co last week, and of course dave and i were part of the elder's meeting agenda.

  my friend has just had a conversation with one of the elders, who told her about it because it involved her.

  what an amazing story. It reminded me of growing up in Hatboro, PA. I clearly remember that an elder in my congregation actually had some sisters spy on my mom and all sorts of things. They were trying to get her removed from being a pioneer or something. Even with all of the problems I've had with my parents, I remember this to be a very upsetting time for my mom, and the whole spying game is such a joke. Even she couldn't really believe it. It was probably one of the first things that soured me towards the WTS. I'm glad that the CO actually had the sense to realize how wrong that is.

  Matrix Revolution [Alternate Ending]

  i just got done watching 'matrix revolution,' i think i was disappointed with the ending.

  my son, richard, liked it.

  i suggested an alternate ending to him that he thought would have caused a riot in the theatres.

  I think two things - it wasn't what I was expecting and that it was a cop out. I also really liked it. Go figure.
