Education makes you leave God

by FusionTheism in

quote from the watchtower, simplified edition, september 2015, "how can we show that we love jehovah?".

higher education often makes them lose their love for god..

Billy the Ex-Bethelite

The world encourages people to learn, but higher education often makes them lose their love for God.

There's another saying, "ignorance is bliss." In my case, ignorance was bliss for Watchtower Corp because I was a drone that would do whatever the JW clergymen told me. But it wasn't bliss for me. The cognitive dissonance was slowly and painfully killing me.

For me, "higher education" opened up to me "the truth". What WT had been teaching me turned out to be rubbish. And while I stopped attending JW cult brainwashing sessions at the same time I pursued worldly higher education, it wasn't really the higher education that made me lose whatever love for god I had. The fact that WT was nothing but lies and they claimed to be channeling the voice of god, how could I have any love for god after that?

Nope, don't blame my disbelief in god on higher education. WT Corp gets full credit for proving to me that GOD is simply an acronym for Grinding Oppression and Disillusionment.

God is busy with his property portfolio

one way i managed to de-programme myself was to imagine the god of the universe being behind the desicions watchtower were making.

it first came to me when barbara anderson described being in a lift in bethel discussing a property or land sale that didn't go through and her musing over gods involvement.. we are meant to believe that the god who made the universe is behind this...... http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/local/2015/05/12/jehovahs-witnesses-fishkill-tax-exemption/27206609/.

it stinks of greed, business and grandiose expansion.

As crazy-face Lett begs for money on the broadcast, WT Corp is "spending more than they're taking in", buying up luxury apartments and industrial real estate. Are they going to convert all of those into Kingdumb Hauls that can be used in Africa?

2015 Regional Convention Anthony Morris Governing Body encourages coerced baptism of unwilling children ...again

Hey ToMo, thanks for bringing up Grampa there around the 20 sec point. Since the time my grandfathers bought into the WT message back in the 30s and 40s, they were promised they would never grow old and die... but they both died about 20 years ago. I should have realized then that WT is just a cult led by crazies that think they are channeling a Bronze Age god.

"... unless you're a toddler", eh? So when the kids are able to walk, it's time to get them baptized? And if they're old enough to drive, the parents should force them into baptism before they can get their license? Do you have a scripture for either of those statements? Or are you just pulling them from your own fat a$s and claiming you channeled it from your Bronze Age god?

I certainly don't recall the bible ever saying anything about drivers licenses, or cars, or airplanes, or nuclear fission, or lots of other things. I do recall the bible saying that the Bronze Age god wasn't able to defeat armies that had chariots with iron wheels. And I remember his law stating that a rape victim had to marry her rapist, which is pretty sick. ToMo, you might has well have said that if a toddler is old enough to get raped and forced to marry her rapist, she's old enough to force into baptism as a JW.

Our hall is asking for money...

by thedepressedsoul in

i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.

we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.

it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

Billy the Ex-Bethelite

Stuff the donation box with these Chuck Bucks:

Apost8News: "Return to Jehovah" Official Literature Release Video - 2015 Convention Lowlight

again, thanks to wifibandit and pixel for their work behind the scenes.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwzviu3jfko.

Billy the Ex-Bethelite

And the thing is only 16 pages?

Clearly, even the GB couldn't come up with very many reasons that anybody would return to that cult!

I think this forum has come up with a library filled with reasons NOT to return. Kinda makes WT efforts look pretty pathetic.

Hmmm, the organization wants to take a survey of how much each can give.

Here's nice round number that I think is fair:

Everything that happens is part of jehovah's purpose, isn't it? If they doesn't like what has happened in Ireland, he and his Irish-content wife should take issue with how their Bronze Age god is working out his purposes.

Maybe WT should build their new headquarters in someplace more attuned to their moral outlook... like Saudi Arabia, Iran, or the territories occupied by isis.

Vacation Time: You want me to use my personal vacation to attend the D.C.? Something i feel is a load of B.S.and waste of my precious time

by goingthruthemotions in

so you all know that my wife is still blinded....i am well awake and so are our son's.

so she is expecting me to use my vacation time from work to attend the d.c. waste 3 days of dribble from the cult.

what of waste of time....yet i will do it to keep the peace.

Billy the Ex-Bethelite

i am well awake and so are our son's.

I hear there is a particularly serious strain of Man Flu expected to hit your neighborhood this summer. You and your sons can expect sweating, stomach cramps, headaches, flatulence, and explosive diarrhea for a couple of hours every morning until the uninfected female leaves the house. Then the males will feel fantastic and have fun for hours until the uninfected female returns home and the men's symptoms return.

The worst of the symptoms last for about 3 days. And it's quite likely that the infection will be preceded by the rumor that a man's coworkers have exhibited the same symptoms a few days earlier.

No need to see a doctor for this. Doctors have received worldly higher education from Satan's system and most of them believe in evolution. I suggest relying on Jehovah to see whether he can protect you from Man Flu before the crapvention (he can't) or provide you with speedy recovery after the crapvention (let's just pretend that he can).

Edit to add: I'm starting to feel sick to my stomach and dizzy just thinking about ever attending a crapvention again.
