And live with the constant threat of execution over your head 24/7? No thanks.
The problem with paradise earth as taught by JWs is that the second free will is exercised outside of the rules, you will be killed. Not really paradise in my opinion.

New songs? Haha not 10 percent of JWs are gonna study up on they music, lyrics or anything else.
Will be interesting to hear the reports back on how horrible the singing was on Meh-morial night.

Has anyone any contacts in Australia specifically Jehovah Witnesses
by tor1500 ini hope i added this topic so everyone could read & comment.
i was just thinking, since this arc thing, does anyone here know any one in australia, that knows about the arc or how it's affecting the jw's there.
i used to go to a site that had a really nice person who is a jw, he never argued or debated, never sent back hateful comments, & he lives in australia.

Brenton puts the not so bad spin on it here:
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Jehovah-s-Witness-1617/2015/8/royal-commission.htm
Im wondering though, about the list at the bottom of the article, here's the summary -- why in the world would the branch have reports on Non family non witness perps, the next line is questionable as well. Family, non witness would be UBM mainly I suppose. Why would WTS have records on many of these? Anyone know where this info was actually from?
Perpetrators
Non family, non Witness - - - - - - - - - - - - - 199 reports
Family, non Witness - - - - - --- - - - 470 reports
Elders; where victims were family and or non family - - - - - 18
Ministerial Servants; where victims were family and or non family - 32
Parishioners; where victims were family and or non family - - - - 287 reports
TOTAL - - - - - - - - - 1006 reports -

GB says they are GOD, check this out.......
by Freeandclear inso i have been watching the arc videos on youtube with geoffrey jackass, er i mean, jackson and a couple of very powerful things struck me.. forgive me if these have been covered before but...did anyone else notice he says several times that the gb are the "guardians of doctrine?
" haha g.o.d.
do we really have any further need for witnesses!?

where he is directly asked if the GB see's themselves as God's spokesman on Earth and he blatantly lies and says that would be presumptuous of us.....
That too struck me as the lowest point to which these guys will stoop. I pointed out on a thread recently that I found it similar to Peter's denial that he was with Jesus. I mean, if he truly believed lives were at stake, he would have used that opportunity to forcefully tell the world right then and there that they better follow the supposed faithful and discreet slave if they were to save their life. Instead, he ducked and dodged.
Another poster rightfully pointed out that Peter wept bitterly after his denial. Something I doubt GJack did on the plane ride back to NYC

I am losing
by NoMoreHustle ini haven't posted anything for a bit, but wanted to express how i am losing this battle.
it has been over 3 years now since i woke up about watchtower.
the battle that i am talking about is the tug of war with my wife (i adore her immensely), watchtower is winning, she simply will not give in to my so-called negative thoughts about the religion that we are in.

Two choices.
Accept her and it for what it is, and that she will never ever leave.
Leave her and rebuild your life.

Making friends in the "truth"
by Jordandemm inwhat is it about making friends in the organisation am i the only one who had found it tough?
don't get me wrong there was some good people but unfortunately there was also a lot of egotism, back stabbing, jealousy and gossiping.
i could never really fit in any group, everytime i thought i had found a group it was as if i would be sidelined or ditched.

The reason you cannot have real friends in that religion is because they will become your enemy at a moments notice. They think you've "sinned", whether you have or not...they will turn your ass into the elders in a New York second.
If your name comes up at the meeting as "no longer a Jehobo's Witness" they will never speak to you again. You can't develop real and trusting relationships when there is that kind of tension permeating everything surrounding you.

Regular JWs aren't allowed to freely express themselves, they are in a cult. You can't question or oppose official doctrine.
If you want a real JW, you can try JWtalk.com, or Topix seems to have more active JWs. Or you can call the local Kingdom hall in your area and invite one over. I'd hesitate before doing that, they will pester you until you say not to come around anymore.

Did any of us ever enjoy meetings?
by stephanie61092 inthis is a legitimate question.
did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?
did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?

Great thread.
Anyone else get super nervous when the WT conductor would be way behind on time? Like on para 8 and there were like 20 minutes left to go in the meeting? You know its going to go overtime at that point! Then of course he would still ask those stupid ass review questions at the end. Then the stupid speaker would get up there and give a 5 minute prayer. GAAAAAAH!
I swear, the only thing worse than a meeting is being stuck at a meeting five or ten minutes LONGER than it should have been.

We are mostly Ex JWs here.
JWs do not believe Jesus is God. They believe he is a creation of God (Jehovah). Not many active JWs here but if one comes along they can give you their scriptural justification.
