After Exiting the Witnesses - Are you O.K. Not Knowing about the Future ?
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
it seems that religion has always been considered the opium of the people.

or at least many tend to gravitate towards religion to have or solidify some sort of future with a supreme being overlooking them hoping to have a reward either in heaven or in the jehovah's witnesses case - living forever in a " paradise earth ".

it seems that people can't just live day to day and let each day come to them with whatever happens.

1 Thess 5:3 - What do you think....
by The Scotsman in
1. jw
2. friends
1 thessalonians 5:3 says this - "whenever it is that they are saying: peace and security!

then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them just as the pang of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will by no means escape.

" nwt... jehovahs witnesses believe this is refering to our time with a final fulfillment imminent which of course triggers total destruction for nearly everyone and everything.

How many have heard of this latest JW Survival Kit?
by Frank75 in
1. jw
2. friends
it has long been pointed out by apostates, myself included, on this board and others that if the jw's really believed the end of this "system of things" is coming, why are they not making practical efforts to prepare.. .

the only thing the watchtower and awake will be good for after this believed meltdown is toilet paper!

"put that in your book!

i'm not a big fan of surgery.

i always exhaust all non-surgical options before doing it.

i know enough about medicine to know that surgery is effectively a controlled injury... and that makes me nervous.

those who aren't in the truth i feel much pity for you.

all of you are filled with much hatred and anger that all you can do is blast out of your stupid mouths horrible things about the one true religion.

OMG! OMG! OMG! My DAD has the Sept KM QB part!! We have been....
by oompa in
1. jw
2. experiences
e-mailing back and forth for days about the qb, and he only told me today that he had not even noticed anything new or different about this material until i had brought it up.

he says it would be "absurd" to think the fds mean all literature and web sites other than the wt ones are not to be used for anything, but that the context of the article needs to be taken into consideration.

that the context is key.
