following the moonies example, the jws use body exhaustion as a method to control the mind.
and during 3 days on the last dc convention they told in several talks that ... .
"the organization is the way to worship god" and... .
All's what I've heard from my 'old' friends is how they've been travelling to the convention.
"Oh, we went to the convention... Yes, the convention... oh, did you want to go to the convention?.... The convention....."
WHO IN THEY'RE RIGHT MIND WOULD GO? Holy freaking crap.
steve gordon a dark tale.
newly baptized jw steve gordon has just dried off and changed back into his cheap watchtower suit.
he sits down in the hot stadium heat and rubs his smooth, shaven face and closely cropped hair.
So Farkel, how did you know me at 16 falling for this pathetic religion? You basically told my story except for the wife that begged me to stop going.

I always look forward to Farkels posts, but the only thing that I assosiate to farkel is his avatar and his interesting comments and incredible knowledge of the WTBTS - something that many people just plain don't have, or just plain couldn't give a shit about to go over the excruciating details over days... I let people like Farkel and others dig that menutia up.
Am I stupid? Well, that's up to debate. Anyone can be anything they want on the internet. For all you know, I could be a psychologist or some jackass working at McDonalds, living in they're parents basement. My main point is I don't give a shit if Farkel thinks I'm stupid - I think that is part of what self-actualization entails. Not caring what others think of you, because you know what makes you happy, and you know that you are comfortable in your own skin. .
Did I miss the point? I don't think I did. The truth (tm) makes you feel like a big man at first - then years later, you figure out what you've really lost. That pathetic loser in Farkels story sounds alarmingly familiar, right down to throwing out his 'demonic' albums. That person is me - and I can accept that. I was a complete f*king idiot. A pathetic needy moron who fell for a cult, because of my issues with depression and somewhat disfunctional family life. It was my only way out of my problems; the other being suicide. I know that if I didn't have fallen for 'the truth' at the time I would have probably done myself in. It was going through all that shit - the act of believing so much in something, like the person in the story above, then disbelieving and actually having the courage to leave everything I ever had in the world behind, or so it seemed at the time, which made me strong enough to deal with my problems without drugs or alcohol. And most importantly, not relying on a fictional god (in my opinion), as a crutch to go begging to. I can live my life just fine without god, without validation, and without Farkel. (insert any posters name in for Farkel, too)
i've just had some shelving put up by my mother's husband...and she is coming round to look at my library.. she is jw..... what will she think of the books i have on there?.
would you let a jw relative see your library?.
some books:.
Question: You don't even own a bible?
Answer: No. I threw them all out.
some persons need to feel they are validated because they don't have much going for them otherwise.
being a part of jehovah's organization makes them feel special.
being different from other religions makes them feel recognized,.
At first... yes.
hello my friend,.
i was reading through a few of your past posts in an effort to get to know the christ better and i have a question.
according to one of your posts from 2003 you tell us that being publically ridiculed or disbelieved by apostates is a fullfilment of prophesy.
No problem
Just get a picture of a 40 year old man living in his parent's basement.
that wouldn't matter to you if they dropped off the face of the planet?
.
now, only the sadists will feel bad about being left off of this list.
Okay.
Brownboy and all his other aliases that go with it.
JC Cannon - will end up in the psych ward soon enough, I imagine. Some dweebs will whine about his/her demise I imagine... our resident homosexual Jesus Christ Savior.
I can think of some others, but that's enough for now.
okay so i was sent a link that has pirated movies (the new ones that are playing at the theatre).. however to view many of them you do not have to 'download' but simply press the arrow like youtube.. would you give into the temptation?.
.
Of course!
Most movies suck anyways - the ones that don't, I buy.
I think 90% of people download.
as explained to me recently, only jehovah's witnesses are actively fulfilling matt 24:14, thus showing them alone to be the true religion.
sidestepping the glaring issue of jesus stating that love would mark the identity of true christians, let's examine that notion.. .
i have personally rebutted that opinion by stating, with accuracy, that many christians have a gospel ministry and manage to reach hundreds of millions of people across the planet with their message.. .
I prefer the simple approach.
The bible is just horsesh*t, so I don't care about JW's silly slant on a book written by men.
Your take is very interesting, though.
for years the gb has been creating these dramas for the conventions, trying to use the bible to provoke guilt trips and make the r/f obey, but none of those have the whole message they wanted to get across, meaning: "the perfect jw family".
so, they decided to create this non-biblical account and voila!
they have the perfect drama.
The ultimate JW family that does not exist, now or in the future. They're usually quite disfunctional.
