Waking Up From a 34 Year Slumber.
by alg1052 injuly 11, 2011 will be 34 years since i was baptised as one of jw's.
the sleeping pill i took was in the form of them providing the information that made the bible come alive with the truth and insisting that they go by the bible not adding or taking away from it.
i had negative experiences from local brothers from time to time, however i excused them as part of being imperfect.

July 15th WT- Don't Research " False Stories " - Inspired by Satan !
by flipper ini know the poster lost generation made a fantastic thread on this july 15th apostate article, however - i noticed some very powerful points on pg.
17 paragraphs 9 - 11 which weren't brought out that i feel needed to be touched on.
as was brought out in his thread this article told jw's to avoid apostates because they are " mentally diseased " allegedly and to avoid their web sites, not read their literature, watch t.v.

The leadership of WT cult knows that they are lying to their followers for the past 150 years. They are indeed masters of lying and mind control over 7 million JW's worldwide.
Darkness cannot prevail Light and WT is dark and evil cult. They are the ones with half truths are trying to establish their authority and power over 7 million blind followers. GB reminds me the dark days of Spanish Inquisition when thousands died in the altar of the Catholic Church, using the same reasoning, question us=you question God.
In this 3rd millennium times have changed. Human race has started to awakening, things of the past are now questioned and along with it Religion, especially Christianity (followed by Muslim and Judaism). We have evolved as humans and trying to move forward, since we investigate our past along with scientific evidence. An average modern man has more knowledge by just reading a newspaper, from a person that lived 3500 years ago in a semi barbarous state, claiming that he was inspired to write God's commandments in the desert.
Time does not turn back, that is why we find more and more people examining their faith and if their faith can stand on solid ground. GB knows that their days are numbered and desperately they are trying to keep as many prisoners behind WT's mind control walls. The entire religious system must change, since we have facts that show clearly that the world's 3 basic religions -Judaism, Muslims, Christianity have been build upon myths. Indeed myths and fairytales that some Hebrew misogynists nomads in the desert created by borrowing myths and ideas from Egyptians, Sumerians, Canaanites and later on Greeks.
WT is just a part of the system that controls humans along with the political of this world.

How the WTBTS creates atheists
by Nickolas ini am an atheist.
i arrived at this juncture in my life despite not wanting to.
when i first met the witnesses at 22 i was a seeker looking for answers to the question of life - in other words, prime cult target material.

I don't think so that WT does create atheists. It is a matter of personal choice, or most of all a long time research. I have also left WT, then I studied Christianity, then I decided to go through the Hebrew Scriptures, since Christianity comes from another religion, the Hebrew.
When I have done a serious examination of the Hebrew Scriptures (examine history, science of that era) the result was the Old Testament was nothing more than copy of older myths (Sumerian & Egyptian). Many stories never occurred, like the Hebrew captivity in Egypt and their Exodus. There is not a single evidence that 3 million Jews left Egypt during 1450 B.C and spend 40 years hanging around in the desert!!! Also there are many disturbing facts of the Hebrew God, he orders genocides in many cases, did war crimes, and atrocities. There is humiliating attitude towards women, for instance according to the Mosaic Law if she didn't scream loud enough in a rape attack she is guilty and she must stone to death. Or if she shouts loud then the rapper must give to her father 50 sickles of silver and he can get married of her!!!
There is many other staff like that, for instance Cain went to the land of Nod and got married and he builds a city!!! Or Lot's daughters that have sex with their father in order to bring offspring for him!!! Even in the Mosaic Law there is no mention of sex between father and daughter, thus women are considered mans belonging.
I have my points for Christianity as well, especially when I came through the Gnostic Gospels but I consider Jesus teachings universal, since they are based upon the universal law of love.
I like to question everything in order to come to a final result. I'm not an atheist. I believe there is a Creator behind everything, but I do not believe that He/She is behind any organized religion.

Is there no hope? (daughter getting baptized)
by camicia ini'm really distraught about the fact my 23 year old daughter is ready to abandon a potential career in writing where her talent lies, and become a jehovah's witness.
i banned the study being held in our home, but it only hurt my relationship with my daughter, who screamed at me "i pay to live here and i'm not hiding, you're sabotaging my relationship with god!
" so i gave in.

WT is so good in brain washing. Since she is going to their meetings the process of brainwashing works perfectly, especially the: us vs them mentality. Evil vs bad, God vs devil. You cannot oppose to her, since this it will cause the defense mechanism implant to her by the WT to act against you. I suggest to show her the flip flop doctrines of the WT and the fact that they have a short history as a group(sect)but with many failed prophesies.
Try to show her for instance how did WT viewed organ transplans in 1964(it was OK) the in 1967(became cannibalist act!)and in 1980 again it was ok!. So who is to blammed for all those thousands who died between 1967-1980? God's spirit or a man made organization?
Then you can point out that their founder Russell what he believed as "truth" for at least 60 years, now it is consider "apostate teachings". Even their founder it wouldn't have a place amongst modern day JW's.
I was raised in that evil cult. I left when I was 35 and this caused me to lost my entire family. Your daughter is in danger. What I'm afraid is that after she becomes a JW, the "system" will push her to get married a "faithful brother" and it will turn things even worsed. I know how they are acting since I was raised there. Specially when there is a new single person that joins their club, the next thing they do is to find a "faithful mate" so they will lock him/her at their organization.
If you need more help just ask us, you can send me a PM also if you like. No matter what you must act fast, since your daughter is in danger.

by FrankWTower inwhile on the subject of some wacko making yet another prediction, i found this info on time.com.. .
the onset of world war i freaked a lot of people out.
but it was especially trippy for the zion's watch tower tract society, a group that's now called jehovah's witnesses.

That is really sad. There are so many anti WT, websites in the world that show how WT is misleading people. Perhaps you should try one point at a time trying to reason her. I am afraid that brainwashing has done the job, but is never to late.
I'm suggesting to ask help from people that they are aim is to give assistance for people like you.

Life after death
by truthseeker ineveryone has different views about life after death and whether or not it is a possibility.. as jehovah's witnesses, we were always taught that there is no life after death, that this is the only life we have now and that the wages of sin is death.. .
what are your views on life after death?.
