i knew apostasy was a serious concern for the org, but until i watched this video, i had no idea how afraid they actually were.
all this guy wants is to do is not turn in his fs hours and immediately they (elders) set about drilling him about who are what influenced his decision, as if he was incapable of making his own (which as the elders confirm, in the org is highly discouraged).
they are convinced he has been communicating with apostates or visiting apostate web sites.

WATCHTOWERS GOD JEHOVAH IS ABSOLUTELY USELESS..
LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
SOMETHING LIKE 200,000 folk die each day. So....God is allowing time to pass so more have a chance of salvation, you do the maths...maybe one or two of those convert...by letting time pass God is just going to have to murder more and more at armaggedon and the second death for not taking advantage of the "wonderful priviledge "of becoming a JW

Boeing stratofortress I'm neither a Catholic nor a Jehovah's witness, though if I had to choose one over the other, as an outsider, it wouldn't be a hard choice.
Interestingly the Roman Catholic Bishop for Northern Ireland, following a similar investigation into abuse, made a quite emotional full apology to all victims, which was broadcast nationally. I know (sometimes)words can be easy, but he sounded very genuine.
I wonder when the GB will similarly apologize?🌚🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘(crickets)

Be afraid....be very, very afraid...
Coming soon to a kingdom hall near you...APOSTATE GRANNY! She's awake, she's shunned, the borg have got her grandkids and she's very, very angry!
WE ARE LEGION!
even though i'm no longer mentally a jw (i still technically am) i do recognize that there are some benefits to being raised one.
for example, the first (and only so far) wordly guy i was involved with had to smoke weed every day and got drunk all the time and that was his idea of fun.
i couldn't help but feel bad for him.
Secretslaveclass if you've been fed cheddar all your life and you're offered gorgonzola once not every other cheese besides cheddar is going to stink.
HA HA HA...BRILLIANT😄😄😄😄😄😄😄👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

hat they care about is a very telling factor. Do they have a substance abuse problem? Do they come from a generous family? These are all good things to research about the person.
Oh Bonsai, everything you said there is 100% true, but it cut me to the heart.
I come from a very mean family, mum left my dad as he was violent alcoholic, but at 8 I stayed with my dad ss I thought he needed me. My mum married a conservative man who didnt want his family to know I exsisted. All my life I felt unworthy to marry a good man because I felt I must be evil like my parents. Being a JW as a young teen made it even worse, a lot of Jw women have very low self esteem. I became a nurse because I wanted to do something posative in the world and not be a blood sucker capitalist type.
FOR ORIGINAL POSTER think ex JW can still have a "saviour"complex. I believe being kind and long suffering are wonderful qualities and Christs teachings are incredible.
ATHIESTS FOR JESUS!!!YEAH!! After studying philosophy and evolutionary biology I cannot help but be an athiest but I love Jesus and what he stood for, or should I say Pauline christianity as at least we know Paul exsisted. I also think all the negative stuff about women were 3/4th century additions. Knowing these Christian matyers were JUST HUMAN BEINGS with no holy magic makes them even more incredible and worthy of respect in my eyes. Sorry for going off topic.......SO
OP I am so glad you didnt take drugs/drink he may SAY its "fun"but I believe he is hurting inside and using to escape his reality. Your gentle non judgmentsl attitude makes u wide open to folk who have deep troubles, take care of YOURSELF first,u can only help others if u are healthy and strong yourself.Can you join a "hobby" group, if u have an interest persue it, u will enrich your life and its a great way to meet new people, potentialy a marrige mate with comman ground between you. There are many good worldly folk, perhaps if you volunteer for a charity or homeless shelter u will meet some loving souls there.
I have said before the only good thing people take when they escape from the borg is a good marrige mate-as most JW 's take their marrige vows seriously.
THERE SHOULD BE AN EX JW DATEING SITE!!There are so many kind and funny people posting on here, I often wonder what would happen if we all met up😃
OP Take care lovely one, I am sending my athiest Christian posative vibes!!
5 for god knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like god, knowing good and bad.. .
genesis 3:22. jehovah god then said: here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad..".
for god knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like god, knowing good and bad.?.
"Here the man has become like one of US"
POLYTHEISM !
Jeho talking to his goddy mates
hello from fortaleza, ceara, brazil!.
i am a coordinator at an english language course here in fortaleza.
i have been both living in brazil and working at this course for (4) years.
Wow, I guess it saves money!! I just think of all those trees being cut down to propergate their brand of mischief.
I am wondering when they are gonna start being clobbered for being enviromentally unsound. Taxes for using too much paper etc??
Hello funchback in BRAZIL! I am old enough to get a kick out of talking to a stranger in another exotic country!!
we have the convention this weekend and many jw families are arriving.
one family that ive known for many years from new mexico stopped by to visit my mom.
hes been an elder since the 80s.
well i know i've been posting a lot of topics like this lately and i'm sorry if i sound whiny or annoying.
my parents were asking me why i was so upset lately and i ended up just telling them the whole truth.
i told them i don't believe in god or the bible because i don't have any evidence of anything.
Blackwolf Do please watch this great allegory about God/Hank, someone posted it on here recently for newbies and it's revelatory. It utilizes a tool philosophers call intuition pumps, believe me by replacing God with Hank and a million quid with everlasting life you will see how absurd the thought an omniscient being is gonna kill you if you don't do what it says BUT you have free will, but only free to choose what he says. Some choice. Get as much info on evolution as you can, read Richard Dawkins book" The God delusion ", in fact any of his books,Jerry Coyne "Why evolution is true" Just spend some time at the library, once you acertain evolution is a indisputable FACT you will loose the fear. This blog is written by a JW and may help initially if the A word is a bit too scary yet!!

Hi, If anyone knows to post youtube vids on here can they let me know please, unless its above and not just the link in which case I've done it😃
so last night i was having a wonderful meal in a very nice restaurant when we heard what we thought was a loud clap of thunder.................. it was a bomb.
yards from my hotel.
thankfully i made a few decision that meant i wasn't in the wrong place at the wrong time.
He is being respectful, thanking a god for saving your life would require blaming god for the 16 dead too.
