  Does Knowing the Truth Make you a Happier person?

  by gumby in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many of us who were once jehovah's witnesses had a measure of happiness in our lives.

  for me, i had a hope in the future, i had answers as to why we are all here, i believed in a loving god who looked after me and cared about me, i had answers to all of lifes big questions.. when i found out the truth about the witnesses, i was lost in a great big world and now had no answers other than the fact that what i once believed was "the truth" in actuality wasn't the truth.i now had to start all over in my search for truth.

  for me, it wasn't long before i found what i thought was the truth since i always believed in the bible.

  Hi Gumby, Your last post has me wondering if more than half the rank and file are thinking just as you...and in reality the watchtower has less followers than they report.

  I agree with you Tophat. I think there alot more Gumbys out there than we all realise who are stuck in an Organisation they cannot get out of...at least without a whole lot of pain to go with them if they did. Many witnesses have their doubts but cannot do anything about them...............unless they stumble onto JWD

  The "boys" are gonna be watching you closely, as well as their "stoolies". Loose lips sink ships, so if you say something a little off kilter to the wrong dub(s) you'll be back in the hot seat again. And don't forget --- they're good at pickin' up on eye rolls, conversation pauses at the "wrong" time, and rhetoric.

  Yes, I'm aware of that Kaput, but thanks for the heads up anyways. It takes alot of well thought out strategy as to how a person will deal with going back. It takes the right mindset.

  For me, I look at it as a game Im trying to win at. If I think that I need to respond to everything I don't agree with by using facial expressions, I'll lose the game. I didn't plan on getting reinstated with the intent of going back and showing disgust on my face at every opposing thought I had......trust me. It's not an easy thing to sit and listen to things you know are bogus, but for me....it's much harder to live without my family. My chances are much greater to gain back my family in ALL respects in getting reinstated than they were by being on the outside as my personal experience has shown and is now showing.

  I'd like to thank all of you who supported me in this.

  The ones who CAN and SHOULD be alerting the media, telling their testimonies, denouncing the fraud and killing machine that the WATCHTOWER is, are not doing so.

  That's right sf...only YOU are the one who is doing it all....just you. Everyone else has their thumbs up their ass and does nothing. isn't it sad that everyone doesn't work at exposing the organisation like you do sf?

  All Hail sf!!!!!!!

  Whatever Skally....you get my point. If your going to slam the witnesses for being bloodguilty, you might as well fill your bookbag with christian literature also and warn people that the bible Jesus is coming soon to kill every non-Jesus believer on earth. Skally, you know damn good and well what I think about the witnesses since you and I are old timers here on JWD, so why you act as though I'm promoting dubism is what's pissing me off. I hate the cult as badly as do you and I have posted against them for nearly 6 years now on this forum as everyone knows. I'll tell you one thing....my chances of bringing ones out of this cult are greater than yours with your pamphlets, signs, protests, and whatever else it is you do to warn people to stay away from the dubs. I don't need a bookbag filled with silentlambs propaganda to tell people about the dubs as I have been exposing them (besides here on JWD) verbally to others for 13 years. Since I have got re-instated I've been able to open doors that I could not open before to witnesses regarding their beliefs and I intend to keep on doing it until they kick my ass out again.

  Skally,

  Incidently gumby, JWD provides me with info, documents, resources, etc. If you think I just sit and READ them and do nothing else with, you are mistaken. How about we share door to door territory one of these weekends, brother? You up for it? I'll show you my bookbag. Yours is most likely filled with terroristic pamphlets and litterature. Mine? Mine is stocked with JESUS CANO'S MUG and conviction, Kerry's blood eassay, silentlambs support, news articles of CHILD ABUSE IN [YOUR] organization, that you WENT BACK TO.. How many childrens books do you offer the unsuspecting householder?

  Skally, did you even bother to read ANY of my comments? I clearly pointed out I do not share in the door to door work by selling Watchtower literature of any kind.

  Btw...you said your bookbag is filled with Jesus stuff eh? I got news for you bro....your Jesus is as big a murderer as the Watchtower society my friend.....so don't go bragging on what type of shit your bookbag is filled with. If I remember correctly, Jesus is going to kill everyone on earth who doesn't confess him as the christ, eat and drink his blood, become his bride, be born again, and to believe he is the only way to the father on his narrow road that leads to life with the broad and spacious road that the majority of mankind is on whom Jesus is going to slaughter just like he did in the O.T. when he was known as Jehovah(Lord, Elohim, whatever). Yeah, your Jesus is much kinder than the Watchtower Skally so you go ahead and bang on doors so you can warn people they better straighten their asses up and repent before he comes again and kicks their asses for not listening to him. Talk about calling the kettle black, your pathetic.

  Tell me gumby, and others, what's it FEEL like holding hands with those whose are stained with the blood of innocent life that have died due to the policies you CHOSE/ CHOOSE to re-connect with and endorse as "dedicated members"?

  I suppose it feels about the same as skally buying and driving a car made by a car company that kills people every year by making unsafe cars.

  I don't hold hands with the policy makers of the society skally. I don't even sell their magazines or books or support them in any other way. Rather, I lie to them so that I can break into their jail and steal back my family and friends.

  How much more precious is YOUR family compared to your fellow brothers family gumby, and others [LURKERS IN PARTICULAR]? Or that of the unsuspecting potential "householder with children" that very well will take the "golden carrot of everlasting life"? DO YOU CARE ABOUT THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES BROTHER?

  If you knew my circumstances skally, you would know that I plan to offer nobody anything from the WTBTS.

  How in the HELL could you condon this organizations death records of young life due to the mangled blood policy by re-ALIGNING YOUR-SELF with Them, again?

  Condone? So far skally, I've been able to open doors to be able to talk to witnesses that I could have never have talked to before.....especially my family. My chances are good skally that I will be able to reach many more than you ever will by taking your staunch stance and showing all of them who the boss is. How exactly do YOU intend on getting others out other than make some posts here on JWD and hoping that some will read your input? I hope some will skally, and perhaps they have just as I hope many will also read my posts and do the same.

  I must say, you TYPE of people infuriate me to no end.

  Gee, I hadn't noticed

  Who knows skally, maybe someday my whole family will come out as a result of me coming back in........and many others.

  Thanks Clam.....if you were where I could reach ya.....i'd sqeeze yer butt.

  Juni, I just knew if I whinned a little i'd get mentioned. My problem is that I've ruined so many nutsacs in my polishing buisness that i'm afraid i'd get beat up by all the angry guys who can't grow hair down there anymore and can't hide their burn marks I gave them all. Poor bastards.

  I'd like to say I've met hundreds of people from JWD in Dallas and in Washington and there wasn't any I didn't like......cept for maybe just one, but she was drunk and a bit insane anyways. Ex dubs are great people.
