  OMG! The world is worse than ever! This system can't last! Violence is increasing! Wait, what's that you say?

  if you read jw literature, the world has been progressively getting "worse and worse" since 1914.. is that really the case?.

  for a more rational analysis, look here:.

  a few highlights:.

  Thanks for that.

  Hilarious in that new WT they crow about how 'peaceful conditions' have helped them out in their preaching work. Confused much?

  Its all about standing up for yourself and not allowing a bully to do what he does. Most elders are bullies, but stand up to them, and boy do they stand down in a New York second.

  Oh, and standing up to them also includes purposely vanishing off of their radar with no explanation necessary!

  What is truth?

  by Heisenberg in

  well, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.

  i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.

  they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.

  In my opinion, it is hypocritical for these ones to denigrate active JWs when these same ones were in the same boat only a few months or years ago.

  Hmm, so nobody is allowed to change their opinion about others? When I was a JW, I was a judgemental douchebag. Fact.

  Just because other JWs liked me and didn't tell me such, doesn't make it untrue. While I give JWs a pass on many items because they are under mind control, I no longer give disgusting behaviors like shunning a free pass. It would be worse if I continued to condone such simply because it is part of their belief system. If their belief system is wrong in my opinion, I'm allowed to say so.

  my parents and i are discussing a quote that was made many years ago.

  we know for a fact that it was made.

  i have exhausted all of my resources to find it, and so i come here to this fine group to ask you about this quote.. the subject is about money.

  Barrold, probably a last minute effort to get some cash in before year end as faithful JWs will be able to take a tax writeoff on the contribution for 2014.

  Greedy bastards. But we already knew that.

  Sorry you are down tonight, Quandry. Try not to beat yourself up, remember the good times you had with your parents.

  Thank you for the advice, one of my parents is out, and I've finally enjoyed Xmas with them for a few years, after three decades of never even having the option of celebrating.

  Watchtower 'Experts' on Being Gay?

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  have you seen this article?.

  the watchtower is trying to be experts on all things having to do with human sexuality.. repressing sexual desires, gay or straight only creates more problems.. http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/teenagers/ask/pressure-to-be-gay/.

  From 1 to 10, how do you rate the value of the Internet in your awakening?

  by Hidden-Window in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.

  i always had doubts and it was the internet that presented me with the ever-growing number of individuals who were going through a similar struggle.. i give the internet a 9 in my awakening.

  what about you?.

  What book, Isle? Just curious.

  Probably an 8 in my case. The other 2 points would go to being appointed an elder. That was the initial trigger.

  I won't pile on here, the problem isn't that they are boring people, it is that they aren't allowed to develop their interests.

  When I was a JW, I was so tired out I would just sit in front of the TV when I had spare time. Hard to work in a real life around all of the cult activity.
