A great suggestion from a current Bethelite on the chopping block

by Gilbeath Haaraloth in

a very close friend of mine has gotten his letter.

although he was planning to leave willingly, he told me that he can't help but feel a sense of being stabbed in the back by a bunch of self righteous traitors.

he gave tours for years, always telling the visitors "this is the best way of life, i would never change anything here and i'll never regret making this decision to come here.

On the subject of male circumcision there has already been much discussion on this forum for both the pro's and con's of it.
If you want to see a whole lot that have appeared on this very forum type in the search box the word foreskin.
Some are very educational while others have a bit of humor regarding certain bible passages relating to it and such.
One thread you may want to check out Gilbeath is this one:

Why I think the J.W. Religion will be around for a long time yet.

by smiddy in

on the one hand , if their is a disaster , a natural occurrence such as an earthquake , tsunami , tornadoes etc, the witness armageddon barometer kicks in .many fence sitters , relatives etc.

flock to the nearest k.h.

for a time.. on the other hand ,.

partial quote from Makemeanunbeliever:3 hours ago

"@prologos-Time will tell. One thing time has told us, each generation progressively gets worse. And this generation is one of the the most, if not the most, perverted in history."

My Response to this;

Give me a freaking break. Have you ever read about the atrocities that happened during the Crusades?
This is so tiring about hearing how this generation is so much worse than previous generations.
Have you heard in the news lately about the beheading of people. NewsFlash read in the Bible about how David not only killed Goliath but also decapitated him. Read about how Samson ruthlessly killed Philistines and how Pharoah of old had all the babies at/near the time of Moses killed.
This generation is no worse than any that preceded it. The only thing that has changed is we have more people and more weapons with which to kill with.
Hell King David and King Solomon "evidently" had God's blessing even though they were each married to hundreds of wives as well as having hundreds of concubines.(Fornication/Adultery in today's world but I guess it was OK back then cause God doesn't change, he's the same then as now huh)

All this bullshit about how bad we are in todays Generation.

any others going to super bowl party in a few hours?who's your pick to win the big game?looks like they bringing more celebrities in for half-time show.i'm going to be pulling for the carolina panthers for two reasons: !

) i'm currently living in n.c. 2)would be nice to have a new team win it this year that's never won.i'm happy that at least the new england patriots aren't in this year's super bowl.

they are a great talented team but have just had my fill of them being in so many over the years.anyhow i just hope this year is a great game and that the half-time show doesn't suck.go panthers!!!!!!!!

StoneWall

OMG
I had to come home and drink a lot of coffee after that game.
The friggin Panthers are driving me to drink again. And I mean all kinds of different stuff.
I told myself when i arrived at the party I was going to stick mainly to beer. That didn't last but until maybe second quarter.
Praise Geebus my wife was able to drive back home after that fiasco.
And if there was any part of me that didn't want to start back drinking....the half-tiem show pretty much did me in.

I mean it's the 50 year Anniversary of the super bowl. For Gawd's sake perform something amazing. not that shyte.
It's bad enough to lose money on tjat game but hell give me at least a decent half-time show or some good commercials.
And Roger Goodell if thats the best you can come up with for a half-time show for the big 50....you need replaced as NFL Commisioner.

Cappytan has made a video. Here is the link

The video may still be there but "invisibly present", sorta like Christ's presence in 1914. (muhahaha)
All of you non-believers just need more faith and you can feel its presence.
Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there right.

Cappytan maybe making a move to be on the new GB with a set up like that one.
Think about it.He got us all worked up about seeing this and then failed to deliver.
It's almost a perfect replication of what the JW's do with their "Special Announcements"
Always leaves you disappointed,wanting more or thinking...that's it. I got all dressed and left home to go to the Kingdom Hall for that.

Man Killed in car crash watching Porn

by StoneWall in

makes me wonder what "flashed" before his eyes at moment of impact/death.http://www.fox2detroit.com/news/local-news/82584838-story

StoneWall

Quote from news article:
"The driver was not wearing a seat belt when he lost control and rolled the car. He was partially ejected through the sunroof and died on scene."

So in other words he got ejected instead of ejacted.
That's a 'hard' way to go

If JWs were to change their name what would they change it to?

by slimboyfat in

was it 1931 when they adopted jehovah's witnesses?

(at the time with lower case w) isn't it about time now they changed name again?

i mean everything else is changing why not the name!

I've been depressed lately.

by Butyoucanneverleave in

my husband and i went to visit his family for the holidays.

not everyone showed for the visit ,the weather was lousy, and it just generally sucked.

now we're back to the same old routine with work and life and we're both depressed and alone.

StoneWall

Sorry to hear you've been depressed.
I guess it happens to all of us at some point(s) in our lives and can be hard to deal with.
There are some things you may want to try to hopefully brighten up your future.
These are just some suggestions that have helped me as well as others and it will be great if it can help you as well.
First go to Meetup.com and look for any Ex-JW meetups near you. (even if you are fading and don't want to chance going to one you can still check to see whats in your area)
Make sure to type in the search Ex-JW meetups to bring up the list.

Also I would strongly recommend going out with your hubby and trying new things such as sports,hobby's,museums and various volunteer work in your local community.
You can meet many nice people this way and maybe form some friendships that are not based on religion at all.
My wife and I have had good turn outs this way, as well as establishing relationships with some of our extended family that are not Witnesses.

Wishing you and your hubby better times ahead,

JT & Lady Cee Why we left the Jehovah's Witnesses - Part 2

by JT-LadyC in

jt further expounds on why we left the watchtower.

why we left the jehovah's witnesses part 2.

StoneWall

i think this is a really well done video and has some excellent points made and presented.
Just one issue with it though.
At around the 7:35-7:38 time marks on this video he states that he has told millions then probably billions of people about the generation that wouldn't pass away.
There are very few people on this earth that have ever reached a billion people with any message (or even songs etc)
If he gave talks in every Kingdom Hall in the world and spoke at every Assembly/Convention, the most he would reach would be between maybe 7-14 million people.
Then add in every single person he could have possibly talked to in field service and I can grant you it would fall far short of the one Billion mark, much less Billions.
I think he got caught up in it and said billions by mistake but the rest of what I heard in the video sounded spot on and would like to say thanks for posting it and sharing your experience(s).
