  years ago, when i was studying with the witnesses, my bible studty conductor's sister in ohio died.

  so he flew back to ohio ( from san diego ) to be with his family .

  I was told essentially the same thing by an elder after 9/11. "It's 3000 people who wouldn't have survived Armageddon anyway."

  The most amazing part is how they can state publicly that they don't practice shunning, and even condemn other religions for doing it, and then put this out in print for people to see. Talk about brass.

  Wow more heavy artillery propaganda from the 11/14 WT!!!!!

  by BU2B in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  every paragraph and every article in this issue is nonstop heavy artillery fire propaganda.

  i have never seen a wt so full of logical fallacies, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority, guilt tripping and bite techniques all in one issue!

  paragraph 9 states clearly that even though the gb is imperfect, that does not matter, we must obey them anyways.

  It may not have been written so blatantly or directly before. But the idea that JWs should be obedient to the GB is really nothing new. Sadly, most of them won't even bat an eye.

  jw's walk like this, they eat this way, they look like this,.

  they have sex this way (lol), they talk this way and etc.. are we excessively concerned with or critical of inconsequential.

  details??.

  I've actually thought about this. But as was said before, I think it's mostly just venting on people's part.

  I think there are people on this forum who will find a way to blame the WT for every evil under the sun. And I usually just roll my eyes when people dig up WT articles from 50 years ago, as if they've discovered some golden nugget that's going to expose them.

  Why is the world full of ATHEISTS?

  by exWTslave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  bible describes atheism as a condition of the heart and is all about seeking what is ephemeral, not acting with insight.

  (psalm 14:1, 2) thus it rightly says the whole world is lying in the attraction of what is ephemeral.

  (wicked one is not a correct translation.1 john 5:19) thus even believers who pray to god (for material blessings) are actually atheists as they are not trying to be poor in spirit.

  Yes those evil atheists are such a plague on humanity, with their promotion of knowledge and enlightenment, and their preference of scientific discovery over archaic superstitions.

  11-15 WT- Drinking before meetings

  by Absalom in

  2. bible

  to be holy, we must weigh the scriptures carefully and do what god asks of us.

  consider aarons sons nadab and abihu, who were executed for offering unauthorized fire, perhaps while inebriated.

  We can now drink before meetings!

  I think that goes without saying. How else could a person sit through it?

  Could it be that Jehovah is punishing me for leaving his religion?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know it's a completely absurd thing to say, but something happened to me today that triggered the old cult reaction.

  my mind instantly lapsed back into that of a jw and for a split second i thought that because i wasn't doing jehovah things that jehovah's blessing had been removed from me and this is why my life seems to be running into so many dead-ends.

  as a jw i attributed anything good happening to me to being the result of my being a good jw and dutifully doing everything the borg teaches.

  I used to have those moments when I first left. It helps to think about all the things that are wrong with the JW religion- the blood policy, the shunning, the failed prophecies. If God actually exists, this couldn't possibly be his religion.

  It also helps to think about people who have it worse than you, or the ten thousand people who died in the Philippines from a hurricane. Was God punishing them, too? What for?
