  June 15th WT ( again ) WT Society Bashes College & Earning a Living

  sorry for the redundancy of this being the 3rd article out of this magazine i've made a thread on- but i felt it was important to share these quotes from the aricle titled " make your way successful - how ?

  " i think you'll see the extreme dissing of higher education here and guilt tactics used to discourage jw members from getting a college education or earning a decent living.. under the subheading " higher education " ?

  it states, " a christian has a scriptural obligation to care for his family, and that includes providing for their material needs.

  WT as usual...Actually my main concern it is how to survive from the my financial Armageddon, caused by the WT. It was due to WT that I left career.(music) became pioneer in order to save the world and my calendar was ending just before 2000. Personally it caused me lot of money being a JW, and now I'm paying the price. While other people in my age they studied, found a good job, and the 80's it was a great time to create your own job or even to find a good job. Most of my friends have good jobs, but we hoped that education, or a good job wasn't necessary, since the end was NEAR. Now in my early 40's (I left WT around 35) I find it hard to get a discent job, and the jobs I can find is low paid.

  WT never changes. It was the same back in the 1880's the 1910's the 1920's, the 1940's, the 70's the 80's. NOTHING CHANGE. The only sad is the human life's that are going to waste for supporting a handful of false prophets.

  I'm in this board since 2001, I posted as justhuman, and with new changes of the forum I couldn't get my old name back so I came with a slight change. I recall the old chat room and how fun it was. I made a lot of friends there and I really enjoyed it. JWN it was the first forum that I started to post since I had my doubts regarding WT and it helped me a lot in my exit process.

  Now there are so many new posters coming in that they are having their doubts of the WT. Old members, including my self moved on with our life and don't feel the need to post like we used to, plus everyday we have a massive new posts coming up and it is hard to follow them all.

  Some ex-jw and members of this forum have joined a Christian mainstream religion, others bacame agnostics, or don't feel the need to be a part of any organized religion and they don't feel to start a debate, like we used to have on this forum, specially with matters of faith or religion.

  How can JW's not believe in the soul and yet believe in the spirit?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a real puzzler.. for christendom at large there is no problem in thinking of humans as a body (tent) which houses the soul.. for jehovah's witnesses the human is the tent.

  no soul is contained.

  (they make "soul" the same as body.).

  A more simple explanation of WT's dogma:

  A Person named Justhuman dies

  God remembers ALL the information regarding that person, how he looked, his personality, temper, character

  God is acting like a Super Computer and stores in His hardrive all the information of Justhuman

  God resurrects - actually makes a new body for Justhuman that has all the physical characteristics of that person and inserts in the newly created brain all the information that was stored in His hardrive(like copy-paste)and there we have the resurrected person known as Justhuman

  So JW's hope is to be copied and pasted into a newly created body

  to this day, i still can't drink shasta cola or lemon-lime soda.

  when i was a kid, you would buy these books of "food tickets".

  the tickets were traded for terrible food.

  You have being out from the WT too long!!! Forget the old good days that we had roasted chicken, patatos, salads. You have to bring your food, and it has to be modest like a sandwich

  Did You Tend To Question The Organization Or Did You Just WANT To Believe?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i know some who always questioned the elders, the society, and others because they were typically skeptical.. there are those who just seemed to want to believe whatever they were told.. i was more a skeptic, during my last decade.. .

  Since I was a kid I was skeptical. I just couldn't accept the fact that a "loving God" will kill all of my friends at school just because they are not JW's. Then it was the fanatical attitude of the WT that the end was near(mid 70's and 80's)and I would not grow old(now I'm at my early 40's. In the back of my mind something was telling that I need to examine my faith.

  And I did....

  I reached quite high. I was believing that I was doing "God's Will". When I found the "truth" about the "Truth", I simply quit, faded out and then disfellowshiped

  Have a good Easter weekend.

  by tec in

  i'm going to my parents for this long weekend, along with my boys, my aunt and her twin boys (same age as my oldest), and our pup.

  will be a busy and bustling weekend, seeing as the basement recently flooded, so that area is now off-limits.

  so for the next five days, the four and a half hour drive tomorrow is going to be the only quiet time i think i'm going to get, lol.. however, my mother is going to have a big pot of homemade chili waiting for us... and that alone would be worth the drive and the craziness :).

  Easter it is a pagan word coming from a the Greek name of a goddess known throughout the Eastern Mediterranean from the Bronze Age to Classical time Astarte. For the Christian Orthodox faith instead of Easter, is Passover.

  So have a good Passover everyone

  BBC Video: Does Christianity Have a Future?

  by leavingwt in

  2. friends

  this documentary was broadcast on april 17, 2011. .

  "according to some, christianity in the uk has no future.

  closure of churches and falling attendances in the last few decades appear to show that the christian faith is in terminal decline.".

  The question is if Christianity fades, what is the religion that will replace it? Personally I take the principles found in Jesus teachings, with basic principle the Universal Law of Love. Mainstream Christian religions are tolerant and if you belong to any of those mainstream Christian Religions(Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican) you enjoy freedom of thought.

  My main concern is what kind of religion will replace Christianity. What I'm afraid is from the rappid expansion of the Muslim faith in Europe and especially in England and France, that you can see Mosques coming out like mushrooms, replacing even Christian Churches, since there aren't any Christians to attend and worship Jesus. The fact that most of them are fanatics, acting like a right wing Christian Cult(like JW's)it is something that we need to take into consideration.

  MEMORIAL 2011 - Let me hear your comments

  by JustHuman14 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok the 2011 memorial belongs to history, but let me hear your comments...personally i found it boring, most of the talk was focusing on why not to partake from the "emblems", instead on focusing on jesus sacrifice.... as i have seen most jw's are dressed to the heel, like it is an oscar awards nomination.

  being disfellowshiped, i was kind of invisible, i almost believed that i have died and it was my spirit that attend there at the hall, but an inactive jw, confirmed that i was still alive(and i felled kind of relief), since he came shake hands, and talked with me.. .

  MEMORIAL AT THE KINGDOM HALL OVERFLOWING WITH NEWCOMERS?

  by steve2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a question for those brave souls who, for whatever reason, attended this year's memorial: .

  who else was there?

  was there any evidence that the witnesses are still attracting a large crowd of "newly interested ones" (to use their awful phrase) or even complete strangers drawn in by the door-to-door work.. i hear lots of comments about how poorly attended some of the weekly meetings in the halls have now become, so i'm curious about what you guys may have seen when you attended in the past day or so.

  I guess I'm from the brave ones!!

  Well actually I didn't notice any overflowing. Most of the people I have seen, are the same persons who come every year, due that they have JW relatives, or close friends, or a JW boss!!!
