  Thinking about the end of the Watchtower

  by JeffT in

  first, a word about the watchtower’s financial position: nobody (outside the watchtower organization) knows.

  the wtbs is not required to disclose its finances, and doesn’t.

  we can speculate, but that is all we are doing.

  Some of the original ExJW predicted that the WT would break up into splinter groups. It's highly probable that a governing body member or a overly ambitious elder would lead a group or two. At the end of the day, the WT beliefs would get carried over in some form to another group

  Violent Games/Movie

  by Saethydd in

  all through my childhood, i was told about the evils of violence (and magic) in entertainment, i doubt i could count the number of movies and video games i wasn't allowed to enjoy for that very reason.

  i did always watch movies and play video games with a certain amount of violence in them, but i was careful to keep it at the teen/pg-13 rating.. in the last year or so though i've started trying out games like skyrim, fallout 3, and thief.

  (since i still live with my parents i'm careful about where and when i play them.

  What I've always wondered. If the minds who play these violent games can be easily effected, what about the minds WHO CREATE these games? Have there been any game developers who've become mass shooters?

  Is this a normal JW practice? Warning, this will be a bit graphic.

  by Sequoia in

  this post may be disturbing and i apologize, but i'm just trying to find out if this is a practice the jw teaches.

  i was taken advantage of by a guy claiming to be a jw preacher.

  he took me to his house supposedly so i could give his daughter piano lessons, and then he basically forced himself on me while telling me he was in love with me and wanted to marry me.

  The Bullshit is strong from this post. Makes sense to go on a forum full of strangers and talk about being raped rather than tell a friend and report it. 👍

  ok not to throw no shade or no disrespect to the jw religion.

  which i truly do respect because my girlfriend is part of but i just don't understand, i have researched so much about it.

  so much about how its discouraged for her to be with me just cause of different religion.

  No Bueno man. The love you have for her is NOT strong enough to separate her from her religion and family. What makes it worse, is that she is part of a cult, and you will be fighting with her conscious and subconscious mind in the beliefs. Unless you want to give up your freedom and join.....better run for the hills like the one post said. There are plenty of women that are not in cults. Look for them and stay away from women in cults, unless they willfully leave.

  Why are witnesses all so highly stressed?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  witnesses are so anxious, stressed, highly strung..... so much for ones who are supposed to be "the happiest people"..... thoughts?.

  The big contradiction with Jehovah having a rest day but requiring his Witnesses to never stop the "preaching" work. If your average JW doesn't have the luxury of a paid vacation that can get away, they're fucked in the endless merry go round of boredom. I say forget traditional pharmaceutical drugs and just smoke some weed. At least it would lighten the nightmare of a life

  What were Satan and his demons "doing" up in heaven, before being "cast down" in 1914?

  by Dunedain in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was just thinking about how the wts has been spouting off for years that satan and his demons were cast down to the vicinity of the earth in 1914, but really, when you think about it, what was the difference before 1914 or after 1914?.

  its not like satan and his demons did not have access to the earth.

  satan and his demons always were messing with earth.

  @Fisherman So....let me get this right. Let's say that there is psychopath who rapes your wife, molests your kids, kills the dog, and does the same to your neighbors. You know who the guy is and you call the police. The Police lieutenant tells you that the guy has already been prosecuted in court before the Judge, he's just waiting for a sentence but until that time.....he's free. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?

  I might add to what's already been touched on. The biggest positive in this NATURAL drug is that it enhances your senses, depending on your body and the right amount of doses. When I smoke the right amount for me, it has enhanced my hearing. I feel like I can hear things more clearer literally. I see why some of the world's best musicians of the past and present make great music when they smoked. It's a amazing feeling with your mind opens up your body

  I always hated marijuana, even in the time I left JW, which was 6 years ago I hated it, until recently. I decided to try it out and got my medical card. I was nervous and uncomfortable but I made it into a dispensary and purchased a few grams of marijuana. The first few times I smoked, I felt a numbing sensation over my body but it wasn't the high I was expecting. Not until my second time did I experience that high.

  The third time was the scariest moment in my life because I had a panic attack. I was super paranoid and I thought I was going to die. Mind you, I was alone, which is discouraged for first time smokers. I did calm myself down through that episode. A few days ago, I smoked and experienced what @DarioKehl mentioned. I connect it to my third eye opening since It has made me realize that I'm not where I want to be since leaving JW. I've had a cold hard look at myself. This drug has been a positive for me
