  dear friends:.

  for years now after my exit from the wtbts i have searched for god.

  as i have previously mentioned in other threads i looked into many other religions, including druidry, zen and tibetan buddhism (not really a religion), asatru, native american shamanism, kemetic orthodoxy, gnosticism and pandeism.

  I don't know either. I'm quite happy with it.

  Prediction: Expect a change in Study Edition distribution

  by baltar447 in

  after all the hoopla over the "mentally diseased" stuff, i'm making a prediction.

  i expect that the borg will stop distributing the koolaid wt online, at least to where anyone can download it.

  i expect that they will require the jws to create logins and passwords to access the study edition, somehow tying that that back to what congregataion you're in and maybe even an elder approving that you attend.

  Did YOU Actually Believe That You Would Never Die?

  even though i was raised a witness, i was never convinced that the end would be in 1975 or even in my lifetime..

  Yes, up until the generation change of '95. Thinking back that is when it changed for me.

  any country that would obliterate freedom of religion, and even freedom of opinion, because of the witness article deserves no respect.

  the way to counter opinions is in the court of public opinion.

  caring what the witnesses say about you is to embrace them fully and perhaps be more enslaved to them than when you were in.

  I say let the Witnesses hang themselves with their outrageous remarks.

  The problem is, no one reads the Watchtower except apostates and some JWs. That's why we need the media to report it.

  JW's - Hard to admit that much of life was a waste

  by xelder in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  from my observations, i think many (especially older) jw's hold through the stupid doctrinal changes because they can't admit the alternative.. i had wished the jw kingdom hope was true, i needed it to be true.

  i'm 5th generation and my parents, grandparents, great grand.....ect needed it to be true.

  i have watched many "faithful" relatives hang on and die disappointed.

  Are we too JW centric?

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i realise that may sound like a stupid question on a jw forum but i was thinking about the events in the uk this week and i am wondering if we need to 'widen out our associations'.

  it would be preferable if our efforts were directed not against the leadership of a single religion but towards raising awareness of the use of thought reform.

  as things stand i am not aware of an effective way for us to communicate with ex cultists from other groups.

  dear friends:.

  something has only now come into my possession: all my mother's daily journals.

  i am feeling incredibly overcome with emotion as i realize her many dreams went unfulfilled, particularly in the fields of writing and art.

  It's official, the internet IS the Watchtower's nemesis!

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have been inspired recently by some of the comments on this forum regarding the society having reached a "tipping point".

  it's been observed that, despite the overwhelming weight of evidence that the society is nothing more than a damaging cult, the number of witnesses continues to increase, albeit gradually.

  the latest figures i have available are those in the 2011 yearbook, showing a global 2.5% increase between 2009 and 2010.. as we all know, the internet is steadily rising in accessibility (or "penetration") around the world, and it provides a wonderful resource for those who are curious about joining the faith, helping such ones to quickly identify precisely how warped the teachings of the watch tower society really are.

  Then again you only have to read a Watchtower from 15 years ago and compare it to one of the recent ones to see that they are in in decline and in siege mode.
