  Altering reality where do you stand......

  by fifi40 in

  to fill you in and explain my post....... i was raised as a jw but left (not baptised) at 16. i started studying again at 24ish and was quickly baptised and got disfellowshipped aged about 32ish.

  whilst i was active as a jw i socialised plenty, but it did not involve copious amounts of drink or drugs.

  during my times out i have very very occasionally smoked a little dope and have been drunk more often but by no means frequently.

  Nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of life. Some dope the odd time wouldn't hurt, maybe if it's excessive, then yes. Same with drinking alcohol.

  But then again, too much of anything would hurt you in some way.

  The JW's are extremists, and it's very hard to let go of their way of thinking after you leave. The only reason why alot of people are in it, is because "it's a better way of life and it's a protection, it keeps you out of trouble". I've heard people say it many times.

  To me personally, that's hardly a good enough reason to be part of it.

  I remember one elder said during a talk " Even if their wasn't a paradise and their wasn't a reward, being a Jehovah's Witness would be the best kind of life".

  That just tells me Witnesses are blindly following what the Society says. Even if the Society came out and told it's followers they were scandals the whole time, their would still be some Witneses who wouldn't accept that it's true.

  Live your own life, make your own boundaries, have fun doing it.

  Trouble ? That's my middle name. jk.

  Since I left, I'm thinking about getting a tattoo on my body which says "Freedom".

  It would best decribe what I felt after leaving the Watchtower.

  My life has been great since I left. The only thing not too great is that my family is still part of it, and deepy involved. That sucks

  how do jw's get around this verse?

  john 1:3 - "3through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

  " i honestly can't remember and can't find anything in the pubs that deals with it.

  i am highly considering becoming a jehovah's witness.

  i have been raised in the congregration, but left it when i was a child because my mom left too, but we still retatined the core belifs including the ressurection and the blasphemous pagan influence on mainstream churches.

  my mom has recently returned to the congregation, and it has helped her a lot.

  Nah, like it was said, you can't love God your own way when you're a JW.

  You play the game Simon Says with them people. You play by their Rules, or get out.

  Are you a "Leader" or a "Follower"?

  by JH in

  2. friends

  i'm a "loner", so no one is following me, and i'm not following anyone.. maybe i tend slightly towards being a follower, but it better be worth my time, or i'll be back to a loner once more.

  I'm a leader since I don't believe in organized religion anymore. And I left an organization that had many rules.

  I don't really care what people are saying on here defending "The Truth" by saying it's a not a cult. If I wanted to hear that, i'd just have to listen to my parents (Who are very active Witnesses, pioneers).

  It's definetely a cult, just look up the word "Cult"online or in a dictionary, whatever, and it's very hard not to connect the two.

  My paradise ?

  Well the bible does teach that you can live forever. That would be pretty cool.

  But until then, smoking a little marijuna and having a few drinks with my friends, and listnening to some hank williams jr is my paradise.

  my ex fiance who is a hard-core dub.

  who would never ever let me touch her in the "naughty spot" because she was so hardcore.

  she used and abused me and when she was done after 2 years and after listening to the slander the elders told her about me (about how i would just hump and dump her, im not spiritual, etc.

  I can relate to that experience you have.

  While i was in the "whoreganization" LOL, ok ill try to be serious here. I had a girlfriend who I went out with for 1 year. How it lasted that long? I still don't have the answer to that question.

  But anyways, her father (who was an elder) knew the elders in my congregation and they were all great friends. And the elders in my congregation would always tell her parents that I wasn't good enough spiritually.

  So therefore, her parents listened to my elders of course. And they limited the amount of time me and my ex gf would see each other. We only saw each other about 3 times a month. And we lived in the same town.

  After all that, it really opened my eyes about how everything is so conditonal being in that cult. You have to be performing in the congregation for people to show you love and for you to be well liked.

  We broke up in the summer because I got sick of it all. And now, she's getting married to a ministerial servant. And he's working for her dad. Her parents must be happy now, bastards.

  If theirs one thing I did learn being out of the cult, is that love isn't conditional. It's unconditional.

  Silly Things You Can Do For Which Jehovah Will Kill You...

  by gaiagirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking about all the various people who the bible says have been killed by jehovah or his angels for various acts of disobedience.

  here are a few of the ones i thought of....feel free to add your own eating a piece of fruit (slow death, 930 years) picking up some sticks on the sabbath preventing the ark of the covenant from falling when the guy carrying it stumbles living in a city where your family has lived for generations, in a region where jehovah has "given" the land to his "chosen" people dancing for your victorious warrior father, not knowing he has vowed to offer the first one out of the house as a burnt offering.

  disagreeing with moses

  God killed many people in bible times for good reason. It wasn't what they actually did that mattered, it was the principle that really mattered. They ate fruit and died, yes. But they were told not to eat the fruit or they would positively die if they did.

  What I find much more interesting is what the Society teaches. Rather then opposing God's decisions he made in bible times.

  Since after all, the Society and God are two different things.

  The Society teaches many silly things and teaches it's followers what's acceptable and what's not. And what it takes to live eternally.

  Personally, I think it's up to God to judge who lives, and who dies. Does that not make sense? The Society tells people that if they don't follow THEIR guide lines, they will lose out on eternal life.

  I think their guidelines are a little too silly, and aren't scriptural. Just because they twist the scriptures and it makes it sound like THEIR right, when really, their wrong.

  Example, According to the Society, you can lose out on eternal life for smoking, even though the Jehovahs Witnesses back in the 1950's were aloud to smoke. I guess their "New Light" from God changed all that.

  That's just one example regarding what the Society teaches. I'm not ready to start bashing what the bible teaches though.
