did i read somewhere that wt is putting out "the last warning"?.
was it assembly topic or something?.
does this mean they will shut up now?.
Men that are hungry for power and money will say just about anything,
manipulative, exploitive bastards with of course a fine Christian smile on their faces.
it's persecution, i tell ya!
ok, so i went out in service yesterday, ok, so i went to a meeting today.
i'm not ready to just chunk out everything i've believed even if there's a lot wrong with the picture.
I think you might be deluded yourself into thinking that the majority of folks that dropped out of the JWS scene did
so in a snap. Playing the higher judgmental role over other people doesn't really come into play much with most ex-jws,
that was essentially a part of their past as being a self righteous ignorant JWS.
And yes its quite true the hardest part in leaving the JWS was knowing that you most likely would be losing the friendships of some very nice people.
Most that leave this faith usually do so at their own pace, some quicker than others, some not, it really depends on the individual.

How incredibly presumptuous of them to elevate themselves to God like status!
True but thats the reason so many men want the power of god in their hands and if you sell yourself in such a way to the public you have
the possibility to make a lot of money as well. The WTS didn't get their millions for nowhere $$$
Consider it the unfortunately bad side effects of a free and open capitalistic society.
There many dishonest scams in operation today, all orchestrated and designed in the name of religious freedom.
Where there is power to be had, men are drawn to it like bees to honey, the money they cultivate is just the icing on top of the cake.
from an email i got.. .
apostates at it again.
i went for prep meeting for the da.
Funny, way to go bold Apostates
Strange, I bet someone you know that is a JWS accidentally sent you that or it may be someone being intentionally vindictive.
I would reply back saying you do not want to know or hear what JW apostates are doing or saying ..........PERIOD
Yes about as artificial as the religion itself, they are especially artificial when they are at the Kingdom Hall or when they are around elders or higher ups
as it were. The white sheet of righteousness does wonders in hiding oneself does it not.
To say they are is quite the understatement .

The WTS is a business and the business they are in and have always been is getting the most amount of their published literature
circulated as possible, even to the point of negated a young persons education to be replaced by door to door peddaling.
They have come out instead calling Universities and Collages as places of ungodliness evil, its like the endearment of human advancement
is a wasteful folly. A better life in their terms is being in complacent ignorance and poverty and happiness is obtainable in this way.
Quite the vile hypocrisy specially coming from men who get their food , clothing, transportation , medical , dental , air travel around the world
and when they arrive at their destination they get treated like if they were kings. It seems a good amount of money becomes quite useful in this regard.
Turning the young into their controlled working slaves is part of their survival tactics, utilizing and manipulating the fear of god as their own proponent
to keep the controlled in check and keep the hierarchy where they are. Its an element of dishonesty and coercion thats worked for them for close to a century.
Hence the young are manipulated in such a fashion as a probable and useful commodity.
Yes to a fault, some carry over them a bigger white sheet to hide under in that ever pretentious way.
Its very much the reason I try to avoid them , that includes family members as well.
is nothing sacred?
we decided to spend a beautiful summer day at rocky mountain national park.
we drive into the visitor center and what do we see?
Well they are the true messengers from god aren't they ? he he
Never heard or seen that before !
Those are what you could very well call cheap and easy hours for sure.
alright this is what i expect in a supreme being he being supreme and all.. i expect that he is to busy running the universe to give a sh*t whether you find your keys,,get a divorce,,or get down on your knees pray to him or get down on somebody,,, he's just got to be too f**king busy to worry about your sh*t. this is as it should be to me anyway,,, i expect my universe level type god has to just watch the universe unfold(eyes glued to the show) while he keeps his hands on the controls and he don't go off coarse smite-ting unbelievers for some egoistic sport instead i expect him keep his mind focused and don't sweat the small shit..
It might just be that all the gods that ever existed came from the minds of ignorant men's imaginations.
How ridiculous of a suggestion in this day and age and the knowledge that we have acquired in how the good
and bad of are human experience are being controlled by either good or bad spirits.
Accepting fantasy as if it were reality is not good for humanity now or forward on in the future.
