  5 stages

  by Anti-Christ in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking about the different stages we go through when we start to find out the lies of the jw.

  i find they are similar to the stages someone might go through when they find out they are going to die soon.

  i think this one is obvious.

  Agreed Anti-Christ. The denial comes after the disturbing information stage that creates the cognitive dissonance, not after the epiphany stage. That makes more sense. Thanks.

  Concrete Reasons for Being a JW (or member of any religion)

  by Mrs. Witness in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  here is a question i've been wanting to ask hubby: "why do you want to be a jw?

  " and i don't want ethereal answers like "they have the truth" "everlasting life" and other such nonsensical ramblings.

  i am not a member of any organized religion and i don't see the appeal.. can anyone answer the question with a concrete reason?.

  Very good point JWfacts. It makes me wonder whether a religion should be judged by what it gets right or by what it gets wrong?

  That would make a good topic for starting a new thread on.

  Beating Fear

  by joelbear69 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  pat robertsons doom and gloom forecast for 08 (his 07 forecast that the us would be hit by a major terrorist attack was incorrect).

  reminded me so much of the watchtower's constant doom messages: definitely rule by fear.

  if you do this you will be destroyed, so will your kids.. if you do this you will be disfellowshipped and lose all your friends and family.. if you don't go out in service you will be marked as bad association.. and of course every natural or man made disaster meant the end was coming soon soon soon.. it takes a lot of effort to overcome the fear paralysis instilled in us by the watchtower.. and it doesn't just go away and stay away, conquering fear is not a one time event, it is instead.

  Yes, Watchtowerism is primarily all about fear, not love. Most of the teachings that keep Watchtowerites enslaved to their religion are all to do with fear. Fear of Armageddon, fear of disfellowshipping, etc, as you note. Take all that fear away and Watchtowerism would shrivel up overnight.

  Simply because they believe there is a God and that we should worship him and that the Bible is trustworthy and gives us truthful, reliable explanations about where we are from, the best way of living now, and what our future can be. That's it in a nutshell really.

  I think that is why I would never disassociate myself...can't see the point...all it would do is really hurt some people who love me.
