i have got a huge grudge against jehovah and his "organization".
i feel like it has ruined my life and any chance of a relationship with god..(if there is one.
) my immediate family has disowned me along with everyone i was comfortable with my whole life.
Some times all I can do is find something constructive to do and exsert myself (work very hard)
Seems to help get my mind off of the JW thing and find Self Gradification.
God is not going to destroy you so I hope that you can get that out of your mind...
I think you would have to be really bad before God will not give you a second chance.
minimus' thread (plus the massive research i had to do this weekend; my head is still reeling) made me wonder -.
why is labeling your experience with jws as an experience with a "cult" important to you?
there are so many heated opinions on this (for both sides).
Cult or what ever you want to call it is not really my concern, it is the fact that the org does so much damage to people. Just as Jesus said; Mat 23:
13 “Woe to YOU , scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because YOU shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for YOU yourselves do not go in, neither do YOU permit tho 15 “Woe to YOU , scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because YOU traverse sea and dry land to make one proselyte, and when he becomes one YOU make him a subject for Ge·hen´na twice as much so as yourselves. se on their way in to go in.
Take for instance that these modern day Scribes and Pharisees (WTS)'s system alllows and incourages child abuse, and even to the fact that they have mocked the laws of the very land that they live on... stating in a public talk that the bible is inspired of God beneficial for teaching, setting things straight, then say the government says you can not spank children, but the bible say if you spare the rod you spoil the child.
That is a bunch of hog wash, and only incourages child abuse amongst the org's members.
They are sick and need help. Hopefully we can bring it to the abusers attention enough that they will repent and come from their self deniel before it is too late.
And as for the rest of the members Rev.18: 4 And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues.
if you could pick out a costume for a dub to wear, what would it be?.
i would dress the gb in this.
except i'd put flip flops on his feet.. .
is it possible to take a video that is on youtube and just use small portions of it?
what software would i need?
(yes, this is for class but i want to just use a few minutes of an hour long video on cults.
I don't know how either but I found a video that may lead you to the right direction. Go to videos on bing put in (burn youtube videos to dvd) in to the search engine.
A little experimenting; may be you will figure it out.
May be you can record and delete parts or just keep track of the parts by number and just play them?
Good luck...
I was abused by JWs as a kid and when I was too big to beat on they use mental abuse.
That is what they would like for you to think, that I am a riduculer to cover up the fact that they are pedifiles of children in denial.
I am a human being and I did not deserve that sort of treatment from the JWs.
What I speak is the truth, it is not a ridicule.
i wasn't going to post this video but alot of people are finding it funny online so i figured i'd share..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwezb1donc0.
Another thing that strikes me as being rediculous is JWs anouncing that they went to a door where people say that they where just praying asking God to reveal the truth to them and here come JWs at the door.
I myself have had meaningful and heartfelt prayers to God and there were no JWs at my door, instead there were many different things being thrown at me that many would think it was from the demons especially the JWs. Things along the line of mysticism, etc., etc. I was told that demons where just a figment of ones imagination. There is nothing to fear except for fear itself.
I use to have a book called Mental Poisoning, and it was stating that you could make a person sick just by telling them that they look sick and went on to say that a person under hypnosis were told that they are being touched on the arm with a red hot iron when they are actually being touched with a cold iron, a blister would appear on the persons arm. ( I have no way to verify that) The book was also stating that the reason why all the archeologests that entered into (Tutom's or Thutmose's) or what ever Pharo's tomb died because the writings on the walls convinced them that they would die for intering the tomb. Their theory was that the hypnotic sudjestions on the walls had to be the explanation and not because there was poison in the tomb as many thought before because they all died at defferent time and died of different causes.
Actually myself I think they all died because it was their time to die and everyone else is fooling themselves to beleive that the tomb had something to do with it.
first topic posted - sorry if it is a bit too long.. why do elders accept this absurd teaching of demons: "anyone rejecting what is not of god, is rejecting god"???.
evidence that these elders - not their victims - are apostates (wolves, weeds, the man of lawlessness, the antichrist, practicers of spiritism).
having gone through extreme adversity and consequently deep spiritual waters our family has come to understand apostasy to fundamentally mean the following:.
JWs are like the medieval, If one that has great financial backing and does not like you cries out witch, they will keep @ you...
my sister who is a active jw texted me today to let me know that her boyfriend who is "studying" is going to give his first talk a week from this wednesday.
i always thought you had to be a publisher to speak on stage.
oh ya, not to mention he still smokes cigaretts.
I was offered to give a talk when I was just in study by one Elder and I had to ask a different Elder for the talk and I was offended when the Elder acted hesitant and wanted to ask me stuff like, if I have any worldly girlfiends or if I smoked then wanted to have a meeting to see if I quallified.
It offended me because one Elder was trying to get me to give a talk and the other was hesitant and if I did not no the rules I would not have asked so I quit going to the meetings for awhile.
I went back some time later and I do beleive they have a set of questions for MS that are similar for unbaptized publisher.
the trangression (sin) causing desolation has a lot to do with the new covenant and .......... holy spirit.. .
after all jesus christ said he would forgive our sins and so what is the transgression guaranteed to cause desolation.. .
made a video series regarding this topic.. .
You have to know what the Holy Spirit is before you can speak against it.
save the planet: time to eat dog?
the eco-pawprint of a pet dog is twice that of a 4.6-litre land cruiser driven 10,000 kilometres a year, researchers have found.
victoria university professors brenda and robert vale, architects who specialise in sustainable living, say pet owners should swap cats and dogs for creatures they can eat, such as chickens or rabbits, in their provocative new book time to eat the dog: the real guide to sustainable living.. the couple have assessed the carbon emissions created by popular pets, taking into account the ingredients of pet food and the land needed to create them.. http://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/2987848/save-the-planet-time-to-eat-dog.
What about employers now wanting to know everything about you, wanting you to take all sorts of tests interviewing thousands of people before they hire even just one. Now that is a sure waste of a lot of gasoline, not to mention eaverones time spent applying for the job , and to top it off they don't find a better person to work for them then they would have the old fashion way.
More and more it seems as though there is no local community business owners, and before you no it there will be a handfull of internet sluts in control of everything.
The more we give into filling out aplications the more we are feeding this dog eat dog world.
