S*** JW Parents Say

by Dissonant15 in

my mom especially had some go-to phrases that to this day echo in my head and piss me off.

things like, .

"don't get mad at me for enforcing the rules, because jehovah made them, so if you don't like it, you're disrespecting him.

Some of those "My book of bible stories" were scary.

innapropriate...see below!

petezahut She told us kids it was ok for JW's to talk to Lesbians because they take good care of their cats and they have a real "can-do", attitude. LOL!!!!!😂😂😂

I have become an athiest but I got to thinking that my kids need to have both sides of the story to make a balanced decision so I dusted down my old "my book of bible stories"to read them.

oh boy, at first I had to heavily edit it, then , despite the kids enjoying some of the stories I gave up as so many were so so innapropriate for young kids!!!

All these changes in the last five years are mindblowing

i can't begin to count all the changes that have happened in the last five years.. i just read they're getting rid of the theocratic ministry school from cedar's blog.. i remember when they released the new theo school book back in 2001. how times have changed.. it's almost scary in a way what's happening.

there's barely any time to adapt to one change before another change comes along.. there's been more changes in the last five years than the previous 100 years.. i feel like there's some grand puppet master pulling his string.. what if the governing body are not really in charge but just give the impression they're in charge.

could there be someone else behind the scenes?.

Yes Heaven the older one I know (in her 80's) is v confused. She said re the generation teaching to (verbatum)"ignore them, they just going to upset you"!!

Ahhh, but you know whenever I would point out the positives of the modern world they would always say" satan comes as an angel of light"and just when they say "peace & security"the end will come!!! You can't win! If its bad news it's the end if it's good news it's the end - that's how a cult works.

Right everyone watch this video its insane!

by username in

i'm just watching this video.

now bare in mind this guy has never been a jehovah's witness so he has no investment in this cult.. https://youtu.be/_ry-onhbkya.

Diogenesister

Thanks for the post.GMO's ?I am with Datadog & username with this one. I fear these crops may be vulnerable to disease, I mean will they be storing GMO's in the world seed bank? Doubtful.

I think the point is when the watchtower blabs on about 'those ruining the earth' they need to put their money where their mouth is.

disfellowshipping

by Sabin in

if disfellowshipping was to be done away with, aside from the authorities that should be informed of child abuse so it may be dealt with legally, how should these one`s be dealt with within the congregations?.

@truthseeker100 Island man has a good point because wbts wont be destroyed and so harm reduction is the way to go. It would improve the quality of life for many members of this forum for a start.
