  I miss my family so much. I thought I was over it but I have breakdowns every few months thinking about my family

  by macys in

  as most of you know i have been shunned by my family for 2 years because of a photo posted on facebook of me kissing another girl at a party.

  the matter was not dealt with fairly but it is over now and i am 100% certain that jdub org is a cult.

  but i miss my family so much.

  They lie to us, they deserve to be lied too. Especially since they take our families from us.

  my sister was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma earlier this year.

  we thought treatment worked as she finished her chemo treatment a month ago.

  i just got a call from her that she has lumps on her legs and she has been extraordinarily tired.

  Tell her that many jehovah's witnesses that are alive today who have had blood cancers and such are lying and have lied to their families and friends and have taken blood transfusions ;-)

  Stemcells are allowed as a jehovah's witness but blood transfusions are a must when going through the mass chemo annihilation of her cancerous blood which needs to be done prior to stem cells being transplanted.

  JWs have more good points than bad

  by lsw1961 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).

  2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.

  this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

  Apparently I knew as alittle girl what I signed up for when I got baptised which warrants me to be shunned by my entire family all because I found out watchtower has lied to me and I am held accountable for a decision I made as a minor.

  Yeah so my fault....

  Look I understand they trespassed on your property. But to react unkindly because they wore perfume? Is completely uncalled for. The majority do not have perfume allergies and it's your responsibility to either inform people who enter your home ( maybe a sign on the front door) or accept that maybe you need to address your allergy issues.

  I wear perfume and will always wear perfume. If I had a friend who reacted to perfume I wouldn't wear it when she's around. But if I were out in public and wearing perfume and you got your knickers in a knot, you'd be copping a few choice words from me.

  Ps I have a autoimmune disorder am allergic to the sun. I deal with it.

  Are the GB very intelligent men with higher than average IQ? Or are they stupid men who were put in their position by sheer “LUCK”

  by John Aquila in

  2. scandals

  are the governing body of the wt wickedly smart with extremely high iq or are they leaders of the wt because they were at the right place at the right time.

  (in other words, pure luck )-think lottery.

  ive seen them talk in jwtv and you can never convince anyone in the whole world that these guys are in the same category as someone smart or cunning like jim simons who founded renaissance technologies or bill gates.

  If you compare them to other religious leaders they come across as very uneducated. Really they are a dumb lot.

  The royal commission showed this up really well.

  It was actually embarrassing watching these uneducated elder buffoons then to have Geoffrey Jackson another uneducated bafoon as one of the leaders be squashed by the royal commission about the 2 witness policy, Angus and justice McClellan are not bible scholars yet they could point out the inconsistency using the bible.

  Lurker trying to gain clarity

  2. friends

  hello all, i would like to first say that i am basically questioning my faith in god.

  i am not negative towards the wt at all.

  so honestly i am to concerned with more ad hominem attacks towards the wt because i still love the organization and the people in it.

  So questioningmyfaith you don't care about the thousands of deaths caused by the erroneous blood ban policy, organ transplants ban till 80's or immunisation ban till the 50s?or the amount of suicides that comes from shunning? Or the Malawi situation which if handled better would of most certainly saved lives. Or what about child abuse victims who feel the organisation has not done its job in protecting them and silencing the victims and then penalising the victims if they leave the organisation by demanding their families shunn them?

  I was born into this cult and baptised as a child, found out its a bunch of lies, I want to officially leave to be free but will have my family ripped away from me because watchtower says so and you think watchtower and it's fantatical leaders are good people?

  Let's see how you feel if you were ever told that they want you to die by refusing a blood transfusion when you are a young adult and you have a serious blood cancer, yet if you choose life and get caught taking a blood transfusion it's a dissasociating offence and will loose your entire family and friends at a time you need them most.

  It's a dangerous cult and it needs to be either eradicated or changed to comply with human rights policies. No change, no tax exemptions and charity status should be given to them.

  Jim Jones and watchtower leaders are equally deluded and are both or were ( in Jim jones case) murderers, elitist nutcases.

  as long as shunning continues donations will be slow

  by poopie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the reasons the watchtower is having problems with donations is because they have refuse to let go of wholesale across the board shunning.

  the average publisher is sick of it and jehovah is withholding his full blessing.

  when you do not show love to fellow humans you run the risk of not being able to show love which i'm turn has a direct relationship to your joy in turn if your not happy your not motivated to donate lots of money to and arrangement you perceive as unloving all you bethel lurkers convey this message to bro letters and rest of gb stop trying to convince fair minded people to support unloving shunning.

  Yes I agree.

  When still in I made a personal pledge to not donate till shunning was abolished.

  I always hated it and I know many current jw's do.

  I had a family member who was a elder say the same thing to me.

  He stated secretly many hate this policy and are waiting for it to be reversed.

  My best revenge tactic is when I attend a assembly / rarely, I get as many publications as I can and purposely don't donate.

  It's my one finger salute to the watchtower.

  Last assembly I wrote jwfacts.com on the toilet holder.

  These f'ing idiots like to play dirty I play dirty back.

  I have successfully faded out but still have my jw family intact and am able to mix amongst my jw friends and have actually pulled a friend out of the cult aswell. This friend has also successfully faded out and has now pulled his/her partner out aswell.

  The domino effect......
