Will some Jehovah's Witnesses inherit God's Kingdom?

I think it would be really petty of God to not allow salvation for a person who has been brainwashed since birth into believing falsehood. People like me sincerely believed we were pleasing God and Jesus and did not have the mental tools to discern otherwise.

If memory serves she also cut up the panties and broke the glasses.

Good thing, because if you get demons in your crotch you have to buy a special shampoo to get them out.

How much would the WBTS owe you?

by Joshnaz in

if you calulated the amount of time you spent preaching, the money you have given to them, plus time developing talks, with a commision for each watchtower, awake, and other books sold.

how much would the wbt$ owe you?.

Being part of the cult resulted in marrying my ex. My marriage to that sociopath resulted in about $50,000 of debt. I'm so poor I can't even afford a lawyer to go bankrupt. They prevented me from going to college. I'm having to do that at a time in my life where I would otherwise be ready to start a family. I've lost important years of my youth that I will never get back. If I had to pick between the money and the time, I'd take the time. Even an extra five years in my twenties would be great.

LaidOff Bethelites: Weeping And Gnashing of Teeth

by metatron in

jw
friends

don't let any of the watchtower's propaganda deceive you.

i encountered some private conversations among witnesses about the subject and it's ugly.

yes, there is suffering as many of these victims try to live on charity and can't find jobs in the worst economy since the depression.. some of their private observations include shock that you need a college degree for nearly any job and that the watchtower society couldn't have picked a worse time to do this to them .. all the while these complaints are discussed, i try not to show that i am astounded by their bizarre "logic".

Prejudice in the Kingdom Hall.

by Joshnaz in

have you ever noticed how in the kingdom halls who have a mix of races, you find the whites sit in one area of the kingdom hall, and the blacks have their own section?

the district conventions and circuit assemblys too.

i've noticed one particular section where there were just black people who made up about 20% of the dc and the rest were white.

For more than three years, I was the only white person in a Harlem congregation (Foster, NY Circuit #5).

In my experience, the black JWs were awesome, awesome people. They really embodied the ideal that JWs were family and always made me feel welcome. It's the white folks that didn't grasp the whole love & unity thing, and not just with other races, but among each other.
