Thanks for posting that BM

Dagney ,that story is .....i`m almost lost for words , absolutely appalling will have to do.

It just demonstrates to me what I have known for a long time .

This excuse for a religion sucks the blood out of your soul .

You lose whatever you had of natural affection for fellow humans.

"The committee wouldnt support them because of low field sevice reports and low meeting attendance", .unbelievable.for normal people to comprerhend.

I`m glad to hear the whole family is out and the boy is still alive with the love of family still around him

My thoughts and best wishes for the wellfare to the boy in question , and my thoughts and best wishes to his family and friends.

What's Is The Goal Of This Religion?

by pale.emperor in

what's is the goal of this religion?.

i mean, if it's for money they could do a lot more like other religions do: tithing, paying for prayers from the gb, selling "miracles", selling "blessed" items, selling courses.. if its for power then what are they hoping to do with that power?

they dont seem to do anything.

smiddy

Simply put they have no goals.

The GB members today have fallen into this position by sheer accident ,many of which have no formal higher education and have no idea or plan where to take the organization to its next level.

There mantra of wait on Jehovah is slowly daunting on them that Jehovah is not going to do anything.anytime soon if at all .

They have poorly educated people in control of what has become a multi-million dollar real Estate /Religious Empire that has lost its way , and is in danger of being taken over by Legal representatives in the near future.

It will all be very interesting in the years ahead .

I have been living in a Quiet world

till yesterday it seems my world was very quiet.

my kids and friends kept telling me you are so hard of hearing.

finally i got tired of asking them to repeat what they had just said.

smiddy

rebel , I`m glad that technology has made your life a little bit more enjoyable ,if JW`s had their way we would be still living in the dark ages.

Wait on Jehovah

No higher Education

Postpone your goals till the New System in paradise.

Where would we be today if they had been in control since Adam and Eves Day ?

I hate to think.

Suggestions for books to read

by Truthexplorer in

i am just about finished 'out of the cocoon' (great book) and am looking for ex jw books to read.. so far i have read:.

crisis of conscience (brilliant/amazing).

in search of christian freedom (interesting).

smiddy

"Jehovahs Witnesses The New World Society" by Marley Cole ,who was supposed to be a non witness..

However , he was in fact a Jehovahs Witness when he wrote it.

Just another example of lying by the organization and their deceitfulness.

When you were fully in, did you believe that you would not die?

by TTWSYF in

i know that it must seem silly to ask, but my brother and his family think that the big a will arrive before they die.

i tried to explain to my brother that everyone else who has ever lived in the past has died and only jesus has [physically] rose from the dead.. it is amazing that anyone could buy that line.

what crazy cult culture that could make people believe such nonsense?!.

Do not enjoy life now!

by life is to short in

ok so i was stupid and looked at the text for today, i do not know why i did it.

i lost a couple of brain cells and put myself into an even deeper depression over it.

it was just that my husband had it out and i thought what can it hurt, wondering what they are up to.

smiddy

The current 8 GB members are telling the R&F to postpone enjoying life now ," you should be willing to put off the pursuit of many of your personal interests " and wait for the real life after Armageddon.

However the GB members ARE enjoying the real life now , with their positions of authority which gives them power , dictating to 8 million people who look up to them as recipients of Gods channel of communication to them .

They enjoy the best food,accomadation, and clothing,and trinkets,,and can travel all over the world enjoying the luxurys, the world they condenm,has to offer,hobknobbing with worldly dignitarys

And forever crying poor ,soliciting for more and more money,even while they are making millions of dollars selling prime real estate / property all over the world , while downsizing much of their affairs.

Can you imagine Jesus living this lifestyle ?.
