  "The Bunker" WT Conventions 2016 (Gag Me)

  by Poztate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the very near future the gang will be down in a bunker,cellar awaiting the police,military to break in and take them away to camps or executions .

  (paranoid much) this is the foretold "prophecy" of the governments turning on religion and saving them for last.since the couple portrayed as simplifying their life by getting rid of a lot of material things is shown to be (about) the same age in the bunker we know it must be any minute now that it will happen.

  i have been out for over 35 years and things seem to be getting more bizarre each year.. when did this doctrine really become main stream?

  About 2 years ago they were on a huge Satan kick. Everything was about Satan, I think even the summer convention was all about Satan's system.

  The reason I ask mention this I am financial accountant and this is the time period when the "Elder" and I were fighting. I deal with banks and IRS all the time and the "Elder" would go off on tangents about Satan's system.

  I am thinking all this talk about the government tracking JWS down might be to track down Elders to testify in all these upcoming child abuse court cases.

  On to another point someone made on one of these threads OMG, could this cult possibly inflict anymore emotional abuse on their children! !!!!!! This is outright EMOTIONAL CHILD ABUSE !!!

  Making fun of an elder, CO or GB'er, would it be considered brazen conduct or some other WT sin?

  would making fun of an elder, co or governing body member, be considered brazen conduct or some other wt sin, like apostasy?

  .

  is it an actionable judicial matter, even?.

  Never a JW and not knowing anything about the JWS until well after the fact I often wonder how well my Roasted Toasted Deep Fried BBQ with consequences email went over with the "Elder". Hey this lady had no clue not to threaten an Elder. LOL

  Has anyone been outed by jw health care workers?

  carrying on from audespare thread.

  i was wondering how common it is for a sinner/apostate to be outed by a babbling jw care worker?

  say you went to your dr because you were pregnant and unmarried or wanting counseling for having to live a double life as a pretend jw... and a jw secretary at the drs office saw this on your file and went tattling to the elders?.

  i'm pretty sure i have ptsd because of this cult.

  i now experience headaches pretty much daily and find myself poping excedrin migraine pills 3-4 a day.

  also i'm drinking alcohol a bit to take the edge off.

  I strongly recommend Heal Your Headache The 1-2-3 Program by David Buchholz, M.D. of John Hopkins. I refer back to this book all the time.

  It discusses all the triggers of migraines. You will be totally surprised what foods and things in your home will increase your headaches. Many things in the environment also play a major role in migraines. Stress is one of the major factors.

  A lot of medication will trigger migraines.

  Simple things like changing your laundry detergent and softner to a free and clear will help tremendously. Remover all air freshners from your home for a couple of weeks then replace them with natural scents like lemon. Be careful of cleaning supplies.

  PM me if you have any questions, I have fine tuned my house. My daughter calls it the Free and Clear Zone. LOL

  Wedding was at a Lutheran Church and reception was at the Bethesda Naval Officer Club we had 200 guest for dinner and dancing this was Saturday night. But the partying started on Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night, bridesmaids and bride started at 8 AM with breakfast, spa, late lunch and then off to the wedding at 7 PM. Then Sunday was a brunch for about 50 people from 11 till 2.

  OK so we are Italian and we like to party.

  Galatians 5:26 was used in and before the 1960`s to not be involved in competitive sports for yourself or for your children

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  myself and my peers in the jw organization in the 1960`s discouraged our children from entering into competitive sports because of the jw policy , regarding that scripture .. has their been a radical change since then ?

  a re-interpretation of that scripture ?.

  why i ask this question is : here in victoria australia where afl football ( aussie rules ) is often regarded as a religion , especially to the state, victoria , we have, according to the media , a devout jehovah`s witness playing professional afl football at a competitive level.. and at their latest win , the team , including alec rance a jw of the richmond club was enthusiastically singing the club victory song along with his teammates on their win .. are their other examples of this in other parts of the world or is this an australian hiccup.. smiddy.

  The booklet on Families does discourage a high school boy from joining the school football team. Could lead to bad associations, you know us worldy folks are so evil. This was one of the points which the "Elder" and I were arguing, well let me rephrase that I asked that as 1 of many questions and he said good bye have a nice life. Oops no questions. LOL

  New Article - Watchtower View of Homosexuality

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have thought about writing this article for many years, and the awake!

  2014 no.4 was the final straw.

  there it states that jehovah's witnesses show no prejudice towards homosexuals, and "they neither mock nor mistreat people whose practices differ from their own.

  An Atheist gives Credit To Religions

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  even though i now consider myself an atheist and have little time for religion as such , i have to acknowledge that some religious institutions , and even some i would consider a cult more so than others , do a fantastic job in the field of charitable works.. for so many in our communities who are disadvantaged ,in one way or another , the down and outs , for a better phrase , those that have succumbed to alcoholism , drug dependency , mental illness in it`s many forms , homeless people , juveniles suffering abuse of one sort or another at home , domestic violence , etc.

  etc.

  the list just goes on and on .. yet their are religious charitable institutions who are at the forefront of helping these people offering and lending a hand both physically , emotionally , and even financially to support these people without judging them .. so even though i consider myself an atheist i can commend what these religious institutions do to for these people... i can`t say the same thing for jehovah`s witnesses who will take , take , take and give nothing in return.. smiddy.

  Smiddy and Tailsin, are correct there a lot of these charities out there. On these forums I read exJWs wanting something to do all these places will welcome helping hands and it is a great way to meet new people. They are all run by volunteers.
