Your final WTF? Moment!

by restrangled in

jw
friends

it was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.

i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.

i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!

Raised in it since 1970, was the goodie JW for many years, pioneer, ms, elder, etc... went through the 1975 bs and stayed, confused about the generation teaching and started the fading process in 1995, however, still thought I needed it, maybe I was wrong, is it really the best way to live, not sure where to go, still attended some meetings, assemblies and memorial, then for me the biggest WTF moment was this:

When I researched 1918 claim that Jesus inspected religions and only chose The Watchtower.

How do they know that? An incredible claim indeed.

So I researched the WT's situation in 1918. The Judge and all his antics, bullying into the presidency, driving expensive cars, 2 homes in Cali, 1st class trips around the world to give speeches, never took his wife but his secretary, never went in service, a known alchoholic, crazy teachings that make no sense at all, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff.

I'm still upset at myself for giving the WT so many years of my life. Regardless, It's nice to be FREE!

Active JW's, can you defend "THE TRUTH?"

by DATA-DOG in

as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.

when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.

this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.

fedup

WT is a corporation that made HUGE profits selling ETERNAL LIFE for over a century.

Their product: JW's be saved and we'll live in Paradise as a youth forever, which is really amazing. Once you believe it's very difficult to let go and who would want to let go.

WT make you jump through hoops to keep the hope alive. You have to Go to Meetings, Service, get Haircuts, Shave, wear Suits, Dresses, Be Modest, Repeat WT arguments as TRUTH, such as defining GENERATION, so we can be saved. Ridiculed for not participating in anything, just because We're DIFFERENT., etc, etc....

Reality, they are no different from any other religion out there. WT calls BULLSHIT with all other religions, like the Catholics, when it was the Catholics that voted in which books are to be included in the Holy Scriptures, to which we say it's from GOD. If anyone would come down from a mountain today and say, I SAW GOD, GOD wants us to do the following..... We would put him in a mental institute, however we believe it when someone did it 4000 years ago. We're INSANE.

I was raised in the WT way since the late 60's, did all the pioneering, MSing, Eldering, Public Talks, good little JW. Hoped for the new system since I was a kid. Today, there is even a GB member who is younger than I am.

I SAY ENOUGH BULLSHIT, and to the WT and the apologists i say, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! All Religions should be flushed. Shame on all of them, including the WT for lying to us and profiting on FALSE promises

Live your life, love your family and friends, be kind and explore this beautiful world.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BELIEVE BULLSHIT

If You Were Still "In The Truth" What Type of Life Would You Have?

by minimus in

jw
friends

do you think you would be just going thru the motions?

would you be an elder, ms, or pioneer?.

i think there are many that stay in the religion simply because of family/friends considerations.

On Christmas day, I'd be in service, at a coffee shop, speaking to another drone about how armaghedon will rid this wicked world.

Instead, I'm home, gonna cook a turkey and have my kids over later, planning on drinking scotch for dessert

Ever consider joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

by rawe in

has anyone here left jehovah's witnesses to join the churuch of jesus christ of latter-day saints?

what was your motivation for doing so and how has it worked out?.

if you haven't joined the lds or considered it, as an ex-jw, what is your general view of the lds faith?.

fedup

What's better, hospital food or airline food?

I hate them both.

Why study the creation of Man when you can study the creation of God?

Stop waisting your time with stupid writings from jokers of the past.

Most Irritating Thing About The Jw's

by integ in

for me it is the smugness.

it's their inability and refusal to admit they are wrong....ever...even in the face of irrefutable evidence.

isn't pride a sin?

fedup

Most irritating....

The Watchtower created a nation of Judges.

They truly believe they have the right to decide who will live and who will die, who's evil and who's good. They believe with conviction that whatever they say, whether they say it in service or on stage, God will listen to them and execute their words.

I'm truly embarrassed to ever have been part of this
