Are you SATISFIED? I don't think they are...

I kind of like that drawing though. Is that an S under that lady's bum? Looks like they were getting started early with embedded imagery.

I'm confused about the e-jw forum

by *jeremiah* in

so i stumbled onto the e-jw forum and began scanning through posts.. from what i understand the forum members are believing jw's,...right?

i've read through many topics/posts and it seems like their is much questioning going on there.

in the matter of a few moments, i came across discussions on freemasonry connections, wtbts occult connections, ct's pyramidology, "company men", 1914, etc,..etc.

So e-watchman is a dedicated JW who is announcing Jehovah's judgements upon the WTS?! That is so weird. I wonder if he still goes to meetings. Its sounds like he finds the WTS somewhat detestable in Jah's eyes. So if he is attending meetings and FS, then how can he live with himself knowing he is in a semi-false(if that's what he believes) organization? It also sounds like he doesn't really believe in the 1914 doctrine,...but if a JW doesn't have that then what do they have left? I wonder what he says to the congregation during his talks? Could this be CT Russell resurrected?

Here's another interesting comment from the aforementioned thread:

Those same pyramids are all over the architecture of the Bethel factory, all around the roof.

This Masonic influence has infiltrated everything, including the Society since the beginning. CT Russell's cousin founded the Skull & Bones, and the Russell family is one of the most prominent of the Illuminati.

The Watchtower has served its wonderful purpose, but soon the Kingdom must be refined, and every last trace of Babylonian influence has to go.

I'm finding all of this really strange.

Warlock,...I think you may be right.

Here's an example,

in a thread discussing whether or not subliminal imagery is in WT publications. Here is just one comment:

I definitley feel these pictures are here for a reason. Check out the picture on page 45 of the learn from the Great Teacher book. This Picture is also In the Keep on the Watch brochure.

The tree is so twisted there is a face or two faces in the tree and two of the figures in the crowd are looking up at them. Also theres is some shrouded figures in the garment of the little girl.

I hate having these pictures in the house! I definitley don't want to be responsible for putting them in other peoples houses through the ministry!

fullofdoubt,

Right,...i read that too,...but I also read many member posts and topics and they are borderline "apostate" sounding.

What's going on here?

are these forum members who are questioning but still loyal to the WTS or are these ex-dubs?

does anyone know?

17 Year Olds

by lonelysheep in

you 'kids' are strong, strong people.

i'm not just referring to those of you who are 17 now, but those who left or simply woke up from the wt garbage at such a young age and are now adults.. from what i've seen here over the last 2+ years, it seems to me like jw's treat their children like they are foster kids.

some foster kids (& some adopted kids) i knew throughout school were kicked out or left home around the ages of 16-17, and were put into independent living programs by the age of 18. their parents wanted nothing to do with them afterwards.

jeremiah

Right,...my heart goes out to any teenagers trying to get at now of the borg at that age. I went through it too at 17 yrs old. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with, but at the same time, the best move I ever made.

My advice is to rely on others. My best "worldly" friend, who I never could associate with except during school hours, talked to his parents about my situation and they took me in. My friend's mom became like a surrogate mother to me. They had so much unconditional love for me that the experience was eye opening as to how much love I was getting outside the borg compared to the stories, jealousy, lies, exxagerations, and shunning coming from inside the borg.

What movie(s) should EVERY JW see?

by gaiagirl in

i'm thinking "1984" and "the island".

jeremiah

Devils Playground.a documentary.its about when amish teens turn 16,they are given the chance to live 'in the world'..if after that year is up,they choose to come back into the faith,all is forgiven..80% do!!!!!dubbas could learn from the hugging vs/mugging technique....

Aquagirl, I agree the Devils Playground would be an excellent documentary for JW's and ex-JW's to see. This is my favorite documentary of all time. Its so good. I disagree, though, that JW's could learn something in a positive way from this Amish tradition. If anything they will be able identify with these teenagers but in the negative ways of both religions. Devils Playground is a documentary about a few Amish teens who turn 16, they have the opportunity to venture out in the "Devil's Playground" (the Amish's term for the outside world) and indulge in 21st century vices such as drinking and smoking and cars. At the end of this period, called "Rumspringa," they can choose to commit to the church for good. Or not. This documentary tracks 18-year-old Faron's struggle to reconcile his drug addiction with his deeply ingrained desire to live the Amish life. Yes if the young people choose to commit to the church at the end of their rumspringa then all is forgiven. However,...if they don't want to commit to the church their whole family and all friends disown them and shun them for the rest of their lives. They can never ever come back into the church. So imagine being 16-19 yrs old and struggling with this once in a lifetime decision(many ex-dubs can). Many of these kids don't want to live the Amish life but also don't want to lose their families. (Sound familiar) The stress and pressure on these kids is unbarable to the point where they get deeply into drugs and depression and have no idea what they will do. They are soooo confused. If anything the semi-doubting JW will be able to see correlations between the two religions as far as the way they both force members to make decisions out of fear rather than love. etc. etc.
