  What Happened to the Religion I Left in 1995?

  by JoshJeffries in

  josh here, new to the board.

  glad to know this site is here.. i would not be writing this if it were not 2014. i was a ministerial servant and regular pioneer who left the jehovahs witnesses back in 1995/96, around that time.

  i left suddenly, didnt fade away, just left when something clicked one day in my head during the morning shower and made me realize this religion wasnt true.

  Welcome Josh! Like you I had my awakening in the mid 90's. At least I began to have serious doubts. Unlike you, it took me years to walk away for good, in large part because I was born in, and it was the only life I knew.

  The fact of the matter is that the religion has constantly changed since its inception. The one you knew was radically different than the one Charles Russell started in the 1800s. When a religion changes that much, that often, it means only one thing- they never had the truth to begin with.

  Unfortunately, most JWs wont see it that way. They'll simply see the number and be awed at how Jehovah is speeding up the work. Impressive numbers that demonstrate growth are how they validate their religion. As with all other "growth" reported by the WT, they don't realize how badly the numbers are skewed.

  "I don't care if it's teachings are false, I'd never leave because it's the best way of life"

  have you ever heard that statement?

  i have heard it many times and i just don't know what to do with it.

  they are chosing a to live a lie because they like the lifestyle.

  I think the best response would be "How do you know it's the best?" Most JWs, especially the born-ins, can't honestly make such an assertion, because they've never lived any other way. Even those who converted have sampled very little of what life has to offer.

  PART TWO of AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE BY A PRACTICING JEHOVAH'S WITNESS

  while you are sitting there reading this, there are literally hundreds of thousands of young males and females all over the world [ mostly in america / canada and england] sitting in their grotty little smelly bedrooms or flats, designing computer viruses that they will up-load onto web-sites to cause anonymous innocent peoples computers to malfunction.

  these creeps spend literally weeks,months or even years hoping to make a computer viruses that will get into peoples computer bios to completely destroy their computers.

  they never see the peoples anger, frustration and distress.... the damage can cost each person about 1,000 [ $1,660.74 ] or more to replace a basic new laptop or tower.

  three months ago i had to stop driving my car.

  it wouldn't pass inspection and it would cost about $3k to get it up to par.. well, it's a 98 honda accord with about 179 thousand miles on it, what did i expect?.

  .. i decided i would switch to riding a bicycle instead.. it has worked out fairly well.. i put about 10 miles a day on it.

  My brother recently had just his seat stolen. He rode his bike to a nearby thrift store, and wasn't in there for more than 15 minutes. When he came out the seat was missing. The things people will steal, I guess.

  Heavy metal

  by Godsendconspirator in

  2. entertainment

  i have always loved heavy metal music (thrash metal to be more specific).

  since heavy metal is usually associated with satan and occult themes many christians and jws in particular stray away from it.

  in my teenagehood i was listened to it obsessively until i started studying and got baptized at age 18 and i started listening to other genres.

  Was a big fan of Metallica in the '80's(even though heavy metal was frowned upon). Loved everything they did up until the Black album, especially Ride the Lightning.

  How many did you, personally, entrap in the Borg ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my nearly 60 years in the religion, although i "studied" with a good number, i cannot think of any who could lay the blame at my door for being in the religion today.. one lad possibly might, i studied with him briefly as he was trying to get off drugs, he then moved away, and then married a "sister" a few years later, and is still in, but i doubt he would blame me, i hope not.. of the others i studied with none are still in, the last i heard of one of them, a weirdo kid, now weirdo man, was when he was arrested for "flashing" in a local spot frquented by doggers etc.

  i guess i was a useless "tutor".

  as it happens, that is one of the things i am proud to be a failure at, getting people to join a cult.. i always tried to not do proper r.v's, and never suggested a "study" to anyone, but some, like weirdo, were shoved my way by elders who didn't want the work themselves.. how many are you guilty of getting in to the cult ?.

  hi, i am also a practicing jehovah's witness and very proud of it,to say the very-very least..!

  i am a middle-aged man with many decades of being a witness of jehovah god in england.. this important letter is personally to you, just as many of the bible's 88 letters are to be taken personal by you the reader.

  i am writing to you to urge you to take stock of your life, think what your future holds for you.

  Sheeshhhhh!!! Why so long. Can't jehovah be a little more concise? I lost attention after about 40 lines.

  Really? It took you that long?
