Ex-jw Fifth interviews Bethelite from 1975. Well worth watching!

by Diogenesister in

another great interview by fifth here.

this lady was at bethel in 1975 and reminisces that many women at bethel expressed enormous regret at not having a family.

it seems that many witnesses back then were aware that watchtower really didn't know what they were talking about when it came to making predictions.. https://youtu.be/7dyooih3fji.

suicide

who among us has known a jw who has committed suicide.

i believe this as a separate subject has not been covered..

three, very close family friends, one an elder went through a divorce he never recovered from and another MS in his mid 20's, the last one was strangely covered up, he was not baptised but the son of an elder

I'm getting disfellowshipped

by Letty in

hi everyone i'm 19 year old and i've been a jehovahs witness for 3 years now.

i've followed the rules and i'm even a pioneer.

but i've hid the secret of a boyfriend i had from india.

Letty you dont seem to be paying much attention to the advice here, unless there are two witnesses to any so called sexual activity between you and your boyfriend this is very easy not to get DF'ed.

How were you 'outed' ??

by stuckinarut2 in

many of us here have been "outed" as ones who no longer believe that this is "the truth".. many didn't have the chance to do it in our own way, and in our own time, but rather someone "found out about our apostasy" and "reported" it to the spiritual police (elders).

would you like to share your stories?.

made a mistake of voicing my doubts to too many people, it was only a matter of time, plus a wife who was convinced I was possessed

its all about lies and crocodile tears, play their stupid game repent say you'll never do it again and be more careful next time, you can lead a double life so easily, I did for years never got caught, its all a game, there's no holy spirit or angels and a god looking down on your imperfections, chill out.

Memorial Invitation 2018 : Subliminal Message ?

memorial invitation : subliminal message.

at first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the invitation but on closer look a disturbing detail becomes apparent.it is in the upper right corner of the illustration of jesus christ celebrating the last supper with his disciples in the upper room...there seem to be trees outside the window but on closer inspection, all thanks to the pdf format of the invitation that allows you a very close look down to the fine detail, these are not trees but letters!!!.

there seems to have been over the years members of the art dept and writing committee that like to be mischievous dont deny the images are there though

The earthly resurrection pipe dream

by Sour Grapes in

i woke up this morning thinking about when my mom died about 10 years ago.

she was an avid jdub and was confident that she would be resurrected to an earthly paradise petting zoo.

if i would today go to my mom's house and because god brought her back to life, saw her sitting in her favorite chair, would she really be my mom?

jookbeard

its such a ridiculous pipe dream and would defy every single scientific law to accomplish, human cloning is very real though and could be with us in a few years, nothing can live forever not even a AI cloned robotic being driven by super computing, death is part of the cycle of life.

The strange case of Gerrit Losch

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

one of the recent molest cases had a signed declaration of gerrit losch, stating he has no relation with watchtower and that he has no control over watchtower and he does not answer to watchtower.. this month he is hosting the watchtower broadcasting show, on a watchtower media chanel, with a watchtower president starring as co-host, with statements, media and music that have intellectual ownership and copyright by watchtower.. gerrit is asking on broadcasting for respect for “the slave”, just like jehova and jesus respect “the slave” and will even reward them.. are the writers of the statement too stupid to see the correlation between teaching and practicing?.

these man are proven liars.. how can hold this firewall stand?

it’s so thin.. a judge can see this mismach isn’t it??.

jookbeard

a very strange man, not just accepting he is a fraud and a serial liar, I sense a sexual deviant as well.

Funny News From My Old Congragation - Elder Fight!

by pale.emperor in

i haven't stopped laughing since i heard this.

a pimo in my last congregation told me that an elder has been removed from his elder position.

apparently he grabbed another elder by the throat, put him up against a wall in the back room and punched him in on the nose... during an elders meeting on thursday evening after the meeting.. the congregation were running round like headless chickens wondering what to do?

jookbeard

my old man heard of and had seen many examples of what you describe back in the day and going through the 1970's onwards
