  Discussion with a Pioneer: CONCLUSION

  by Saved_JW in

  deity of jesus.

  the final part of our discussion took us back to the very beginning where he was asking my christian friend a question about the trinity.

  i wasn't convinced that david received an answer that was satisfying [essentially its a mystery, god is too big to understand etc..] i wanted to talk about that more.

  Too Much Discontent in Congregation Part 1

  by Simon Templar in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am seeing and hearing many, many long-time jws openly expressing problems with either the watchtower society itself, the publications, changing doctrine, incorrectly living their lives as a result of bad doctrine, the behavior of the boe and other related things.

  i will share some of these things in several posts, because there are just too many of them.

  the complaints that i hear from publishers and pioneers are many.

  'We'd like for you to picture a large camel'................that's as far as I got before I told him to SHUT UP!

  Thank goodness I no longer have to listen to 'Watchtower logic'

  Yes Sister Yuen.........what exactly did she accomplish by choosing to be loyal to the Watchtower Organisation rather than her husband & children?

  I asked this from the audience when she visited a local congregation during her 'Martyrdom for the Watchtower' tour of the Western World.

  It was not appreciated by the chairman sat on stage.

  Lovely lady, however she definitely made the wrong choice.

  a holier than thou pioneer couple saw us.

  Yes taking photographic evidence of you having a meal with your cousin in order to report you to the elders is quite disturbing.

  There must be a legal implication.

  You are spot on Rebel.

  I have heard talks where the WT speaker is trying to drum up contributions by saying everything belongs to Jehovah anyway(=Watchtower).......all your belongings, all your money & it's only his loving kindness that allows us have them.

  So you work your socks off all week only for the borg to try & lay claim to your wages.

  The GB expect the dubbies to lose their lives for some God concocted principle he's so-called enlightened them with, yet with no sign of being hacked to pieces by some crazed JW hater, raped or having finger nails pulled out Geoffrey Jackson capitulated & claimed ' it would seem to be quite presumptuous to claim that we are the only spokesperson God is using'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuWT4flyl-k

  Yes threaten the GB/WT financially & watch them dance.

  Suicide or Real Freedom? - My Story As One Of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  "sometimes i think the only thing i could do that wouldn't upset someone would be to kill myself.".

  those were the frustrated words of my friend as we stood out in his large yard in the country, just about to enjoy a nice bonfire on a beautiful night.

  what was it that could have been a lesser evil than killing himself?

  I read your entire post Mike, you took me right back to my 1960's childhood in the Watchtower Organisation..

  As a very sensitive child I also struggled to be the perfect JW kid, always feeling an innate terror that god was going kill me at Armageddon.

  Though I was not an academically gifted kid, my experiences mirrored many of yours.

  because it wasn't true anyway.

  it was a dream.

  the insanest dream, to believe that i was going to live forever.. but today i am alive, and i am determined to travel the seconds between life and death aware of my mortality.

  I spent over half a century man & boy in the WT cult & it feels so good to read what you wonderful people have put into words. Your comments reflect exactly my emotions. Emotions that I find difficult to express & contend with.

  Love to you all
