has anyone heard about this?
that really sucks.
lots of dubs are talking.
I was checking out 'His Life In Pictures'. It is interesting to see the jewelry change, ie the cross and ankh-like male gender symbol disappeared.
Like sparrowdown said, I can't see any man who dresses the way he did, sings the types of songs he did, wore all that blingy jewellry and makeup fairing well as a JW. He would definitely have to change all that. I wonder if he was really able to.
it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?
the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.
the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.
on their social media site:why do we attend large assemblies?
god's sevants in the past,who were instructed to assemble three times a year, we.
look forward to meeting together in large groups.soon they will be out in full force.
the watchtower no.2-2016 page 9 says,"The hour came when Jesus,by his sacrificialdeath,ended the Jewish system of worship based on the Law of Moses."
And yet, the Jewish faith continues. Once again, JWs (as do other Christians) demonstrate they don't like the Jews.
let's see if it works as a replacement in common phrases:.
"how long have you been in the trance?".
"when did you come into the trance?".
It works.
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.
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.
i am back!
i just bought ioad pro recently.
all i had was my i-phone, i did not feel like posting from my i-phone.
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 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.
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.
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.
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?
o.k.
