  not all JW's are asleep

  by Damascus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am an 'active' jw but i do not agree with most of the doctrines inc blood, baptism, the memorial etc etc.i took the emblems at the memorial because i think we all should recognise and accept jesus' command to remember him.

  not for one minute do i think this is only for the so called anointed.

  i know it is full of man made error and that my fellow brothers and sisters are in a state of mindless, spiritual unawareness.

  Once I realized God didn't exist, my nightmares vanished.

  Edited to add: This took years to discover. It is definitely a process and can be a very long one for some (like me).

  Fraud

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if someone commits financial fraud, they commit a crime, and can be punished (jailed).. but if someone commits a religious fraud, western society does not see that as a crime.. on another thread, a poster pointed out that the jws, "literally steals peoples lives and causes horrendous damage.

  of course, the jws are not the only religion to practise religious fraud.

  all sorts of large and small religions make unverifiable promises and ask for financial support on the basis of their promises, which is precisely what financial defrauder does.

  i asked him what happened.

  he said "him and his wife lived a full theocratic life for jehovah.

  doing everything the organization and the traveling brothers told them to do, like work part time, regular pioneer, serve where the need is great.

  James, thank you for sharing this story. More of these need to be told to show how this religion is really not that good for it's members...not at all good.

  My Father went inactive in 2011. He has dementia. He told me "I don't know what they are talking about anymore." Luckily he wasn't a JW in his youth and worked at a good company with a pension and health benefits. Now he is in a wheelchair in a nursing home. He will die from this awful brain disease.

  And Armageddon will not have arrived.

  Damascus, it is good that you've seen through the lies within the JW religion. Now you can start working on the lies in the Bible. Conduct a comparative analysis of the 4 Gospels and get back to us about exactly what it is you can actually know about Jesus.

  Hey Damascus, you said: I think we all should recognise and accept Jesus' command to remember him.

  You do realize that if you had been born in the Middle East you'd probably be saying the same thing about Mohammed or Vishnu or some other non-Christian god, right?

  Damascus said: I believe in Jesus' message to tell others of his kingdom which is coming.

  No, it is not. Islam is the religion that is growing, not Christianity. Better practice up on your Arabic.

  Last night's talk re sisters wearing head covering, puke making!

  dear sisters,.

  when you are fortunate enough to be in the presence of a jw penis you must take care to show the proper respect for it!

  doesn't matter if said penis is prepubescent!

  Misogyny was one of the reasons I knew, as a teenage girl, that I could never be a JW.

  The two elders threaten my sister again

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  as i reported here in this forum, some time ago, my sister was constantly harried by two elders so as to be submitted to a judiciary committee for apostasy.

  these two elders were constantly hounding her in the street when she walks to go to her job.

  so she had to send them a notary letter in which she wrote that she would attend the judiciary committee only with her attorney.

  opusdei said: This young sister has said to the elders that she will remain in the organization due to her family, but she does not want to preach in the street.

  This isn't going to fly at all. If she doesn't witness, she's not a JW.

  I agree with Hecce. She should speak with her lawyer and the police. If she wants to write a letter, have her lawyer do it. That way it's on file and if they continue, a case for harassment and possibly stalking can be pursued.

  Here's a novel thought. Since Botchtower says they're a charity, why don't they actually setup and run something charitable?
  

  It may solve all these issues for them.

  Twilight and other banned media

  by purrpurr in

  2. friends

  thanks to online media of movies and books i've recently been watching the twilight series.

  issues of quality aside i enjoyed it enough.

  i mostly wanted to see what the fuss was about and have the fun of seeing a movie that was banned from the platform when it came out.

  Hey Wolfie, back when Harry Potter came out my Dad was getting a little concerned about his adult children going to these movies. I was around 38 years old when the first one came out.
  

  I looked at him and said "Dad, it's a movie. It isn't real."

  He seemed to relax a bit after that.
