  Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.

  one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?

  if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.

  I played the piano at the KH for several decades, so I was familiar with all of them.

  The hauntingly beautiful melody and lyrics of "From House to House" was especially beautiful. (Just kidding.)

  There are 3 that I remember which were better than all the rest, which means they were mediocre. "Forward You Witnesses" had a nice modulation from a minor to a major key. The "Dedication" song which was always played at baptisms was nice. The other one which I cannot remember by name was good because the melody was directly from Beethoven's Appasionata Piano Sonata. That was one of those songs which was dropped in the next songbook because it wasn't "Theocratic", i.e. that nasty old worldly loser who couldn't write a good song if his life depended upon it named Beethoven wrote it!!!

  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  Those three songs were in the old green songbook, whose horrible melodies and lyrics were replaced in the pink hard-cover songbook with even more horrible lyrics and melodies.

  i'm talking about how they pretend to love the congragation, but they really don't .

  they strive to be "circuit superstars" ; instead of careing for the flock .

  did you guys know any people like that while you were in ..

  I solve these kinds of problems the way a fattie eats candy! The solution is so obvious, I'm surprised no one got it:

  A big bag of Cheetos! There is NOTHING a big bag of cheetos cannot explain.

  There. Next question?

  Is "Gog of Magog" Satan?

  by leaving_quietly in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for as long as i can remember, eze 38 was, and still is, an end-times prophecy about how satan would come up against jws because jws would be "dwelling in security" (ez.

  38:14) after all the other religions are destroyed.

  this is pretty much the most terrifying chapter in the bible for me, understanding it as jws do.

  : Is "Gog of Magog" Satan?

  I believe you are confusing "Gog of Magog" with the "Tooth Fairy," and "Satan" with "Santa."

  Would elders cover up for a murderer?

  by JeffT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm doing some noodling around with ideas for the rewrite of my novel (way behind schedule as i'm back to work part time).

  the religion involved is a fictional creation, but based on jw's and similar groups.

  the basic set up is a reranged killer knocking off people he thinks are god's enemies so god can start armageddon and bring in paradise.. so the question, if such a thing were happening around jw's and the elders had an idea who was doing it, would they cover it up?

  : I'd like to think most elders would have enough of their moral compass left to not cover such an act over.

  Baloney. They're covering up for nine of them in Brooklyn as we speak.

  :Does anyone have actual EVIDENCE that Bethel is watching this site?

  If elders hide in vans and spy on houses and crawl around houses peeking in windows and bedrooms, what do you think?

  Who are their religious masters and who taught them? Who is more paranoid than the GB, anyway?

  Or it is full of broken and hurt'n people who think the board is full of broken and hurt'n people of whom the accuser is one of them. This is called "projection"and is a sign of neurosis. Have you seen a shrink lately, or are you just wallowing in your own self-righteousness?
