  I suspect, your momma taught you some good maners. You really understand the law of kindness.

  Look forward to more discussion with you.

  Have you Overcome Guilt & Fear Since Exiting Jehovah's Witnesses ?

  by flipper in

  minimus had a great thread recently asking if any who were witnesses felt guilt as a jehovah's witness.

  thought i would build on that a little dealing with how you have moved on after being a jehovah's witness ?.

  one definition of guilt in the american heritage dictionary is : " self-reproach for supposed inadequacy or wrongdoing ".

  What's in a name?

  its friday, and you know what that means?.

  its time for the weekly tradition of sharing what your name means and why you chose it.. there has to be a reason, and it must reveal to us something special about you.. sure this post has probably been run by the forum before, but many of us are new here, and 'by golly, we need to get to know you all better.'.

  even if you are using your real name, why and the heck are you using it?

  It only cost 50 bucks to blast off, but it's coming back down alive and in one piece that's expensive.

  So true, so true....

  Bell Rock - Sedona, Arizona

  Beautiful isn't it? Many feel the Vortex's here, are some of the best in the world. What's a Vortex? Haven't a clue.

  But Bell Rock does inspire people. So much so, that a few years ago, a local Sedona Mystic was selling 'seats' on Bell Rock for $50. And what would your price of admission get you?

  An exclusive seat on Bell Rock's blast off to outerspace.

  Never mind Bell Rock didn't belong to this guy. If you wanted to "Blast Off", you had to give him the $50 cash.

  He even went so far as to predict the date for send off.

  I was there, in Sedona during this period when the Sedona JW's were building the new Kingdom Hall. I laughed, as most would do. But, as the JW's assured me, people were buying tickets, and lots of them.

  Ludicrous no? How could people be so duped to believe that this guy had special knowledge, that only he was priviledged to understand? And then give the guy $50?!!

  You know what they say? Dupe happens.

  So, now we are to the date. People are camped out on Bell Rock. The countdown begins 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0 Blast Off!!

  But guess what? Nothing happens! The Mystic NOW has a revelation. A new date is set. I'm not kidding, this is what the JW's are telling me.

  Some leave, they were duped. But.....others stay firm in the belief its true. And yet others, still believing this guy, buy more tickets!

  New date for blast off. People take their seats and 10-9-8-...you get the idea. Then Blast off! Nothing happens!

  The Mystic explains what just went on.

  IT did take off. IT went to outerspace! Only....they didn't see it, IT WAS INVISIBLE! And these people were priviledged to be part of it. They, the JW's said, nobody complained! They bought the story!

  The JW's were laughing as they told this story. "Oh, those stupid people!"

  Okay, unless you are one of those ticket buyers, you know where I'm going with this story. You've figured it out and can explain the next part of my story.

  The JW governing Body has sold some similar seats, right? Things didn't quite happen as predicted, no? So they starting selling some new seats and found people to buy some, yes? Then when the GB blast off didn't happen again as planned and predicted, what happened?

  Read the JW history books, their own for yourself, and see what happened.

  People were eagerly waiting for the explanation as the Kingdom didn't materialize as expected. And what was the answer?

  IT WAS INVISIBLE!! They missed it unless they have eyes of faith.

  Now you can go on believing it was new light if you want to, or they just made a mistake as imperfect men always do. But there comes a point when a person has to say to himself, something ain't right on Bell Rock.

  Its up to you, what do you say? Do you want to keep on buying tickets as promises and predictions change?

  Remember one thing, the Holy Spirit is never wrong. Only the men who claim to represent it.

  "One of" Jehovah's Witnesses

  by NeonMadman in

  2. beliefs

  any thoughts on that particular phrasing?

  personally, i think the wts uses it as another form of mind control.

  by calling the individual "one of jehovah's witnesses," it lends a generic feel to the wording.

  National Lampoon called the JW's...the witnesses of Jehoshaphat God

  Does anyone remember when National Lampoon, lampooned the Awake magazine with a full edition called "Wake Up!" (circa 1975)?

  JW children are much happier than 'worldy children' by having the special benefit of not being able to celebrate Christmas, Birthdays, and enjoy extracurricular activities like sports in school. They are extremely happified to receive such blessings.

  JW's that die from refusing a blood transfusion are promised an early resurection into the New System to help with the body cleanup after Armegeddon.

  They still will probably not be able to marry, depending on what the GB is teaching at the time of the resurection.

  JW children of JW Elders are given special treatment by the body of Elders when they commit serious wrongdoing.

  They must carry with them at all times, and show their "Elders Child Exemption" commonly known as the "Get out of Jail" card to get this special exemption, BEFORE the JC is formed to get full benefits.
