Leaving The Cult is Exactly Like This...

by cofty in

That picture illustrates exactly what I experienced once I left home to go to College and then get my job.

At work, everything is "How can we fix this problem? Let's get to work on it."

When I'd go home to visit, it was always "Everything is so bad and getting worse. Only Jehovah's new system will fix all this." And my Mom's depression deepened, her individuality vanished, and she became chronically ill (which was totally preventable). She died 11 years later.

Perhaps these types of groups which draw, imprison, and retain certain personality types are here to be a warning to all others.

A troubling visit with a satisfying end.

by Bonsai in

so, i've been out for 2 years now.

just picked up and walked away from the wacky religion that tried to control every part of my life through fear and guilt.

i've been wondering as the months go by what would happen when an elder finally showed up at my door and pressed the issue as to why i ceased all activity and then tried to reactivate me.

LOL @ Outlaw.

Hey iam... there's always lots new going on. The Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse investigated the JWs last year (Case Study #29).

Right now Botchtower is money grubbing big time. They're even asking the JW kids for their ice cream money.

Today the two elders did not appear to declare at prosecutor's citation

by opusdei1972 in

today the two elders who stalked my sister were absent at the prosecutor's citation.

they were waited for 1 hour, but they did not come.

this attitude favors their culpability.

Heaven

The more people in the legal profession know about this, the better I say. Good on your sister for providing them with the Elder's Shit On the Flock book.

Proof God Does NOT Exist

by Hadriel in

o.k.

here's just a little fun, you guys can run with it.. if god existed would he allow the whacktower to be in business?

just sayin... lol.

Heaven

We still have much to learn about the cosmos.

But the narratives available so far about the existence of 'god' really fall short, particularly when Science and various other disciplines can prove these narratives to be factually incorrect.

prologos said: Could we accept then, that the creator is female, since in that model, the universe and ourselves are growing inside him?

The pagans believe male and female to be equal in the creator ideal. All is divine in their belief system. The big 3 faiths embraced eliminating the goddess. Why do you think that is?

Any thought behind your " Avatar"

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

i think that's the correct phrase?

anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.

now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

A former colleague of mine told me I reminded him of Betty Cooper from the Archie Comics.

Bringing children into this System of Things.

by Nihilistic Journey in

before i left a number of years ago i remember getting bombarded with the message that we shouldn't have children as it wasn't fair to them.

they would have to grow as conditions got worse during the end.

is there anything in the literature or was this just through talks.

Heaven

I did not have children in large part due to my JW upbringing.

About Rutherford, he was an ass. And he even said so himself.

Theists, why does God allow suffering..

by The Quiet One in

..specifically, the suffering of animals.

you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.

i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

Heaven

Cold Steel said: Regardless of when predation began, every living thing on Earth, every bug, every plant and even Earth itself will eventually be made whole and glorified because of Christ.

But you said, animals die because Adam and Eve sinned. The evidence contradicts your statement as the animals were killing and eating each other well before any human 'sinned'. The animals were here on Earth long before humans were. Your logic is flawed.

Dear Jehova's Witnesses I have a question about your views in evolution.

by Deimos_Sec in

i have been wondering why your organization cannot accept evolution?

(when i say "cannot accept" i mean: you see it as anti christian) the reason i'm so curious about this is because by putting this here i hope to get smarter answers than i usually get, and also because you don't seem to put things like quantum theory, string theory, under the "evil scary scientific stuff label", also many religions have accepted evolution as most likely possible, or as something that is ok to believe since god could have used evolution to create mankind, in fact evolution isn't a "religion" and automatically doesn't get you labeled as an atheist, unless you are talking to the wrong person.

i am by no means trying to make you believe in evolution, i will respect you views, i believe every man has free will, well it kind of says it in the bible.

Heaven

Basically, Evolution debunks the Judeo/Christian Bible narrative of God.
