  I was a true believer since childhood then I got the boot for supporting my unbaptized 14 year old daughter in a decision she made that the Elders did not agree with. I continued to attend meetings for 8 months "feeling the love" ( no-one talks to you; they treat you like dirt)all the while this scripture was going round and round in my head. Where Jesus said "Love your enemies pray for them" and I kept thinking "Am I now the enemy" if so, then I should be treated better than this. So I started doing some research on the net. I did not like what I was learning about the WT and the apostate sources I accessed: They were not at all like the WT said they would be ( bitter angry liars with an Axe to grind ) They were giving me facts, facts I could not deny. Like I said I did not like it It meant My whole life everything that I had based my life on was now being swept away. Every witness should experience being dis fellowshipped then they might think twice about imposing this disgusting policy on others.

  Does anyone remember when the Watchtower website first opened, it wasn't mentioned in the magazines or at the meetings for a while?

  by slimboyfat in

  i seem to remember that from the mid-ninties onwards there were articles in the km and watchtower warning about the dangers of the internet.

  as a result it seemed to come as a bit of a surprise to some witnesses i knew when the society opened up their own website.

  but as i recall, when the society first opened the website, they never mentioned it in the literature or at the meetings.

  I remember a cheeky ex in Sweden I think that was giving the WT a few headaches at the time He started a sight that was a mirror of the WT one

  How many here desire 'Reality' over the fantasy of eternal life?

  me.. wasting time believing in such silliness is like hoping one day to turn into mickey mouse.

  why not accept life now, while you have it, and understand that like all others before you, you are going to die too.

  you won't wake from that.

  I believe in an afterlife but I also realize that we live now in the present It's tragic when we live in the past " if I only did this or did that" or the future like the witnesses do " when the new system comes I'll be happy" Both attitudes rob us of enjoying life now each day

  ugly women as the most unlikely to find partners

  Consider this boys: If we choose an ugly woman she will be so happy that you want her, that she will never leave you and no one will try to take her off you

  And as stillan said We all want loyalty from our mates

  "When armageddon happens, I want to be able to SEE the people dying"

  by jambon1 in

  said to myself & others by a jw elder.. i always recall this as a sort of .

  when this elder was pressed on the matter, he replied that it was because of all the years of laughing & sneering & mocking that he had put up with, quoting the scripture that goes along the lines of 'where is this promised presence of his'.. i realise now that this person is not loving.

  and yet, i would hear similar sentiments from others such as 'just wait until the end' or 'i wonder if they'll be saying that when jesus comes with his big sword'.. even as a jw pioneer, the thought of such a thing happening to people repulsed me.

  What helped me come to terms with the threat of Armageddon was If their concept of God is correct . That he is going to destroy billions of people because they never read a f...ing Watchtower then I don't want to know him. I would rather be bird food than accept such a God and mix with heartless Cretans that rejoice over such a prospect
