I just went through the experience once again , made it as far as, "unbaptized publisher" , They are so anal and petty it just disgusts me . They suck the joy out of it all .I was so pissed by some of their petty antics I simply told them I resign from the church .

Yah they have been in so many words , when you read the keep yourself in Gods love book they have a chapter about avoiding graphic violence or sexual content and bad language. They can't see any movies or watch most tv , explains why they are a bunch of uptight ,self centered jerks.

The Introspective World of The J W........

"now if 6 turned out to be 9,. i don't mind, i don't mind,.

Of course not , why should they mind ? It turns out six was nine on many occasions and WTBTS spin was so mind blowing but yet they miraculously were able to erase any doubt as to it's authority ,by being threated with eternal damnation for leaving they were able to maintain integrity . It really is sick .

God's Love book - Prologue examined
by Mad Sweeney ineventually i would like to do a deconstruction on the entire book but for now, lets start with the prologue, which claims to be written by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
if anyone feels this is useful, please let me know.
] in your life and thus keep yourself in gods love .

The counsel in jerusalem stated to keep yourself in Gods love was to abstain from fornication, blood , idolotry and things strangled. Acts :15;29. Of course the apostle Paul later has a huge list of things but basically that was it .Since most of them believe they aren't going to enter the kingdom of the heavens then how can you be denied access to it anyway? True the blood dogma is way too convoluted to take seriously , it is apparently alright to use 99.9% of blood , just not whole blood. I love the part about marriage where they flat out contradict within 2 sentences whether marriage is a burden or not . I'm sure you'll get to that eventually .

I've noticed they aren't affraid of using their opinion to explain things , which is even scarier than using scripture , my God you should hear some of the opinions they come up with around here . I wouldn't trust any of them as far as I could throw em. They love to play mind f@#$ games.

I am sure we can say this is official:
by OnTheWayOut inwithout data to back me up, i am still positive that no group has preached "armageddon-soon, any-minute-now" longer than the group that became known as jehovah's witnesses.. with 130 years under their belt, they gotta be the champs.
oh, there have been groups that knew the end was coming eventually, but they weren't preaching it like the jw's were.
there were groups more sure of their doomsday, but the groups are gone or their campaign has ended.. jw's are the champs..

JW a cult? - what it means to them
by xelder inwith almost 50 years as a jw, i often heard jw's called a cult.
i now realize that to defend this, a kind of straw man has been created.
the wts has simply defined a cult for them as following men (namely ct russel).
-

heathen
from what I understand the word cult came from the orthodox church of england to describe unorthodoxed religion. Most common would be religion that doesn't adhere to the creeds resolutions. Of course the WTBTS does everything in it's power to discredit the main beliefs of , trinity , hell fire , immortal soul.

Why would god do this?!
by foolsparadise inwhy would a loving god place a tree of knowledge of good and bad in the garden and tell the two humans they could not eat from it?
did he like tempting them or what?
i honestly don't get it.

heathen
I don't see how it's a bag of candy since there were countless other bags of candy in the garden they were allowed to eat from, they were told the consequences , it was no big surprise even tho the devil promised they positively would not die on the day of eating from it , I think technically they became mortal and thus a day became 24hrs not a thousand years any longer so they didn't die on that 24 hr day but died before they hit 1k years old .

by Lillith26 ini have been wondering lately, what type of treatment would a aux/reg pioneer recieve from the elders if one of their 'studies' quits???.
did you ever have a study just quit??
if so, how did they do it?

heathen
I've quit before and what will happen is a couple of months later the elder shepherders showed up wondering why I quit . I was so sorely tempted to tell them I really thought they are a bunch of dooshes but refrained and said my heart wasn't in it . Ahhhhh they really are a bunch of dooshes
