Sorcery is a Viable Pioneer Recruiting Technique

by KennyC in

"good sense stress", was the description of an elder for a circuit overseer's undue emphasis on the words "the children are helping mommy and daddy to...pioneer.... yes".

he said this during a talk of his in the early 1990's.

upon going to a pioneer meeting on that saturday and seeing him first hand using his hands in a circular motion around a pioneers face who was sitting too close in front of him, he stated "did you ever notice that little glow they have?

Oh man, this takes me back! I was only twelve when my Uncle Frank stopped by with a carful of drunken space aliens and some levitating dwarves.

Well, one thing led to another as they always do when you have two Master Wizards floating atop Mount Everest in search of a good buzz, but hey, who was I to argue with a twelve foot midget?

I was 19 when an elder came on to me

by Mistah MOJO in

i was a nineteen year old kid when a jw elder in his late fifties came on to me.

i was going through some awful stuff and dropped by his mobile home for spiritual counsel and a listening ear.

he answered the door in skivvies and a t-shirt.

LMAO Gregor! "Dick Nibbler" I love it. Very clever. (MM silently files it away for future use) Actually the "trailer" was a double wide in a nice location, but yeah, it does add to the sordidness. MM

My Whole Life Seems Like A Fabrication

by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit in

i'm brand new here but have been reading for months.

my sincere thanks to those who have come before me, shown me that i'm not alone, that i'm not nuts and not a loser.

i was raised a hoho, pioneered my best years away, i married a nice brother, my dad was an elder, one or of both my parents have been pioneers for 30 years+, we hosted bethel speakers and gb members in our home, my parents have had numerous circuit ass.

Hi Pioneer. I feel very sad that you're undergoing this. I know it isn't easy. My family aren't JWs, but about six months ago I blew the whistle on my fafther and my family disowned me. They had all conveniently "forgotten" how he beat my mother, went berserk and terrorized us all, was a cruel bastard, etc. My dad was playing the sweet old man at eighty, and I got sick of it. Now I'm disowned and disinherited, but finally free of the old creep. It's a good thing.

Again, my condolences on such a rotten situation you're currently in. I hope your family all end up following your courageous example. MM

Mistah MOJO

Hi Worldly Andre! I can relate to your feelings, completely resonate. I felt the same way at one point. Fortunately for me I was DFed 34 years ago. So, I've had plenty of time to get past it. You will too, and I hope it's a much faster process for you. Namaste. MM

Hey Snarf. I agree with you, yet another respondent pointed out that guilt based on accusation only is a scary proposition. What a pool of quicksand this issue is. I'm glad I'm not a judge or a legislator.

Hi JayHawk and Pope of Eruke! Tahnks for dropping in. I honestly thought, all these years, that my experience was extremely rare, perhaps even unique. What a revelation to see that the whole stinking maggot infested org is apparently infected with this. MM

Hi Worldy Andre and WasAnElderOnce! Agreed! My wife is telling me right now about a local incident of this nature involving a different sect entirely. Sheesh. Well, at least I was of legal age. The age of majority in MI at that time was 18.

aSphereisnotaCircle That is the wildest account of JW elder depravity yet! A gunfight with an elder! I hope the lid continues to blow on this coverup.(I recognize what your sn is about; the claim that "chuwg" in Isaiah 40:42 means "sphere" when i fact it means "circle." Fundies will stoop to anything in an attempt to read modern insights and discoveries into the Bible.

Hi fullofdoubtnow. Actually, yes, he was. I was deeply involved in boxing at the time, without the knowledge or consent of the elders, just my family. I was too drained and dead inside though. I just left.

truthsetsonefree...I understand that this is almost a pandemic among high control sects, not just JWs and Catholics. Another good reason to steer clear of organized religion and practice your faith with your wife and children.

Karen96, Hi! My 19th year was a nightmare all the way around. The fact that I'm alive at all is very mysterious, almost uncanny. That's why I decied to wrote about it while I can and get it out there. Of the books I've written this is the most important. Thank you for dropping by.

Big Tex and Double Edge, thanks for the heads up! In the next edition of i Was A Teenage Jehovah's Witness, providing it goes to a second edition, I'll give his actual name instead of just changing the spelling a bit. It's good to know I can do so with impunity.

The Bible is NOT the word of God

by sinis in

after reflecting on the article i have come to the conclusion of the author as well, in that the bible is not the word of almighty god.

perhaps some tribal demi-god but not god almighty.

good read:.

"We now know that the Jesus myth of the New Testament was taken from the story of the founder of the Essene cult. The founder of the Essenes was named Jesus, he was crucified in 88 B.C.E. and everything good that Jesus of Nazareth is said to have said was written almost a hundred years before Jesus of Nazareth is said to have lived.

From the Essenian cult of the old Jewish religion, has evolved a new God, a new myth, a new religion and a New Testament.

But the good work of the religious philosophers who created the New Testament God has been corrupted by organized religion. The Jesus myth of the New Testament no longer resembles the kind and just leader of the Essenes who lived, suffered and died just a little over two thousand years ago."I'm no fundamentalist, nor even a "Bible believer" but this author is full of she-ite. I'm passably widely read concerning the Essenes, the Qumran Community, the Dead Sea Scrolls, etc, and there is zero evidence that a Yeshua/Joshua/Jesus established the Essenes, and certainly NONE that Jesus was crucified in 88 BCE. This writer gives no source because there is none! He is simply repeating someone told him, someone whom he apparently trusted to tell him the truth. That's a big mistake no matter who you are or what your stance on anything.

The founder of the Qumran Community was Zadok, which is why the community referred to itself as the Sons of Zadok. Some confusion arises in people's minds because of some specultaion that the "Teacher of Righteousness" in the Dead Sea Scrolls was Jesus. This is a fascinating theory, but it's just a theory. There is no proof that the Qumran Community is identical to the Essenes either. Notice the careful wording of that sentence. Thank you. Here is a Google search for this topic, Founder Of The Essenes:

This writer is also a bit of an ass lumping all religons together as the worship of or search for an externalized personal God. There is no God in Buddhism, outward trappings to the contrary. The "gods" in Buddhism are Archetypes in the Jungian sense, products of the collective human unconscious mind. The supreme reality in Buddhism is Nibbana/Nirvana, which is not a God or gods, nor even "the Ground of Being" or "Source."

He is also a bit of a backwater hick in his pedestrian ideas that science, which deals with empirical data, has proven there is no God. I'm not surprised science has not proven there is a God, for the entire question is outside the realm of science! One finds God "within" so to speak, not in a telescope, microscope, spectrometer, etc. What sort of pompous ass does a superficial reading of religion and spews forth such unctuous bufoonery?

Individuals who have undertaken the arduous inner task of searching for the Divine have been rewarded with that Knowing. It isn't easy, and it's far more involved that a Google search or some Bible reading, or whatever other superficial methods this fellow has employed.

If one objects to this by saying that such experiences are "subjective" I point out to you the glaring obvious fact that ALL EXPERIENCES ARE SUBJECTIVE. Also, the mytsical experience of the Divine Within can be reproduced by anyone willing to perform the experiment. The experiment, howver, is arduous and takes years. Drive-by critics such as this fellow certainly aren't going to take the time ro make the effort. Few ever do, contenting themselves with the head knowledge of religion instead.

No, thr Bible is NOT the Word of God, it's manifestly silly. However, why does this fellow swallow the oddball notion that "God" is to be found in a book? He asks for evidence of a God. Is he blind, or simply stupid? The universe is both beautiful and ugly, giving birth and bringing destruction, pleasure and agony. What does this say about the Creator of this cosmos? Certainly it does not bode well for we creatures that the creation is such a mixed bag. The God who spawned this cosmos is exactly as depicted in the Bible. The cosmos displays love and hate, violence and peace, creation and destruction, pleasure and pain, health and disease, and all manner of beauty and horror. Is there a "God beyond God"? Many, such as myself are convinced there is based on our own mystical Knowing. The god of this cosmos is not the Final Reality.

I will be posting more on this and related matters asap.

Namaste,
MM
