  Who wrote the bible?

  by Hairtrigger in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just finished reading "who wrote the bible" ( richard e friedman) ?

  made for a fascinating read.

  the machinations of the various factions of levites and their efforts at centralizing the jewish religion has been adroitly duplicated by the gb.

  Been meaning to read that one for ages, thanks for the reminder.

  Probably a bit more scholarly than the SI book.

  All religions are false, but god is true.

  i was a jw for many years.

  during those years i learned how to identify a false religion.

  all the other religions were easy to prove false.

  Were you truly happy or were things just stable and predictable?

  That's my experience. Everything was predictable because I and the family followed the rules and regulations of the WTBTS. But I wasn't truly happy, nor were other members of my family.

  And I'm still paying the consequences of failing at being a Witness

  This is how a cults operate, make it so painful for someone to leave oftentimes makes them not even consider the possibility of getting out.

  Hang in, healing takes some time.

  JW Psychology: Feeling Happy, Content and Secured Inside. But Outside?

  by ProfCNJ in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am comparing what an average jw feels (who knows nothing about ttatt) to another jw who knows the ttatt.

  let's label the first jw as jw-a and the other jw-b.

  please feel free to share your thoughts.. it's normal for positive emotions to rise (e.g.

  I felt exactly like you did as JW-A before waking up to TTATT. And I'm sure 95% of other JWs do/did as well. So what conclusion does that lead us to? That the WT society programs the troops to think/feel this way, its exactly what they want from those feasting from the fine spiritual provisions they offer.

  For them, "works" equals field service 90% of the time. The only other way to show your allegiance to God was cleaning the KH or working RBC. No other charitable "works" mean a thing because they aren't advancing the goals or the bottom line of the WTS.

  What can you say to JW-A’s positive feelings of happiness, content and security?

  I go back to the old ignorace is bliss saying, they don't think about the deeper issues going on because they've already been given the solution - Armageddon! Most are simply content in feeling they are a special sheep, chosen by Jah to do his work in these last days. Of course they the carrot dangling out there of everlasting life makes things run a little more smoothly if you are an active JW.

  I still love Kingdom Melodies.

  ok, at the risk of getting flamed, i have been out for over 20 years, and still love kingdom melodies.

  i remember them for the good times, the conventions and assemblies, hearing the orchestral versions, imagining the orchestra playing.

  some pieces were really nice.

  I think there is some guidance in Leviticus or Numbers on one of those jacked up bible books.

  Probably if you pay off her father you can have your way with her for the rest of your life.

  What Happened to the Religion I Left in 1995?

  by JoshJeffries in

  josh here, new to the board.

  glad to know this site is here.. i would not be writing this if it were not 2014. i was a ministerial servant and regular pioneer who left the jehovahs witnesses back in 1995/96, around that time.

  i left suddenly, didnt fade away, just left when something clicked one day in my head during the morning shower and made me realize this religion wasnt true.

  Welcome to the board.

  Your post really does prove that doctrine doesn't matter to cult members.

  JW.ORG AND THE GB HAVE BEEN SHAKEN!!!

  by ADJUSTMENTS in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the recent post on the jw website of a use of terms disclaimer it seems their so called "greatest campaign in history" may be back firing!!!.

  for them to come out so blatantly strong and threatening, basically fear mongering, they have been shaken by something or someone.. hopefully it's us collectively the "great apostate army"... lol.

  if your "religion" (cult) was supposedly chosen and run directly by god himself why do you need lawyers and scare tactics???

  Put your tin foil hat away dude.

  Steve2 put it nicely yesterday on another thread. Every website pretty much has a TOS agreement. Nothing to see here.
