Lol Scott, no way. First, I really doubt the amish play PS3 or post on internet boards. Then, once you're burnt by one cult you're probably careful next time joining an other cult.

Why, do you think a car is really necessary for today's living in all cases? I can get anywhere walking in a matter of minutes; starting up a car, and waiting at traffic lights would probably take longer. When going shopping to a mall, the taxi will take me home for about 3-4 USD. So why should I bother?

It's a different story in a metropolitan area of course, I'm not saying cars are bad, I just didn't feel the need for them.

The generation changed is explained in the June 15'th WT!

by life is to short in

it is here in writing the new generation change.

on page 5 of the of the wt while talking about the annual meeting report.. "john barr gave the third and final talk.".

"john barr made clear that the gathering wound not continue indefinitely.

Although this current doctrine has the potential to be dragged around technically forever, I'd wager they won't prolong the overlapped generation to three generations. I have no idea what they could come up with, but they need a much more specific end date, this one is still not pressing enough.

during this paragraph, just put up your hand, wait for the microphone...

For most of us on this forum that will be a loooong wait... They can't let anyone answer who is suspected of having independent thoughts.

Isn't June 15 around the date when the generation teaching will be studied first? Clever... and very sneaky.

Anyway I plan to drop in the WT study on that date for the first time in one and a half year. It's just too good opportunity to see cult mind control in action to miss it.

Most people who are not JW's live with out moral restrain! All who have left the "Truth" regret it. June 15th WT

by life is to short in

in the june 15th wt it says on page 9 i will just write it out as it is to hard and unbelievable to preface this.

so here it is.. "many who today are members of the christian congregation can tell you that before learning of and adopting jehovah's righteous standards, they lived without moral restrain.

yet, they were unsatisfied and unhappy.

teel

TheOldHippie: as has been said by many on this topic, the JWs will glide over those words, and come to the conclusion in the title.

Was it not so, it would mean the WT admits that most of the people actually don't regret leaving the WTS - it says "some regret", and even though my english skill is not perfect, I think "most" is the opposite of "some".

can spirituality replace religion?

by make yourself in

i was watching cnn, an d they asked this question and this one lady called in and claimed she wasn't raised in a religious household.

but she remembered when she was in elementary school that this jw girl asked her if she was spritual she said no, then the jw told her she would go to hell.

wow.

teel

I feel the answer is a definite yes. Religion is (or rather *should*) only be spiritual people's gathering. Religion without spirituality is nothing (empty shells going through the motions of man made laws that defines what is right and wrong); spirituality can stand on its own, without man made crutches.

It should really be just pasting the link...

Edit: ok, for some reason it didn't made it clickable for me either, so in this case you can do this: select the whole link, and click on the Insert/edit link button on top (looks like a chain), and paste the link there. The forum software sees that it's a youtube link, and embeds it automatically.

Oh, and thanks for the video

Did you carry any No Blood paraphernalia around?

by cult classic in

jw
friends

i never really carried anything on me.

it was always fun getting the card signed and all (a welcome change of pace at the service meeting).

but i always thought it looked too weird to have that in my wallet.

teel

I usually carried it with me, except when I had no pockets to put it in. I didn't put much significance to it, it was just a JW requirement like any else, and I went along with it the best I could, all the while hoping I'll never need it (I still hope I won't be in a situation when it would be used, but for other reasons).

About half a year ago I put it down definitely. I won't shred it, just to have a reminder what can this cult do to someone.

Lol 5thG, can anyone actually be that brainwashed to wear one of those?

How can I counter the isolation scripture?

by Strider Arekksu in

jw
friends

well, i talked to some elders and basically said the organization was calling the prophets and god liars, because they were disgarding the importance and relavance of some of the prophecies.

i told them that there is no true organization on the planet right now.

i used luke 21: 8, i used many scriptures and actually i qouted chapters, not just verses where it was obvious they were wrong, i counter verses, they didn't get them.

teel

you have to work with the Bible, it's all you have.

I would add that you also have Christ.

Don't forget the Holy Spirit. The JW teaching that the HS only helps a small group of people called annointed (and not even them in fullest, only a very restricted "slave" group, aka GB) is simply lie. I view it as a tool of the devil to draw people away from God.
