  I'm sorry, but that is just hot breath. The fact is that all Jdubs don't act as if a great tribulation is around corner. This is the best indicator to see they don't really believe that garbage. Now i know they like to say it, because it makes them look spiritual in the hall, but they really don't believe it deep inside.

  Yes, but they would never let you know that they don't believe it is right around the corner. I remember one time we went out to dinner with a couple, around the time of the housing crash here in the US. My wife and the sister were saying that it was a clear sign that the system was headed down. Well, the brother who wasn't very active downplayed it and said that it was a really good time to invest because the market would be going back up soon. Nobody liked that opinion because it wasn't spiritual, it's exactly what ended up happening though.

  And all the people in the hall will point to this as evidence that the brothers now that something is going to happen soon. Then they'll get all excited because of Russia situation. Oh, and North Korea is probably the King of the North. Oh, and Trump is crazy. Somehow all of this will add up to the great tribulation.

  The loyalty convention is still the weirdest thing the JWs have ever produced. The wife of lot video was their attempt to be a TV dramedy of course most of the humor felt forced and a lot of it relied on old stereotypes. Plus, they felt the need to throw in a scene about gay people in there for good measure. The loyalty convention though had the bunker videos, the Sergei videos, the disfellowshipping videos, the cult paradise videos, the dead son manipulation drama, and nonsensical videos about nature being better than man's inventions.

  What woke you up?

  by MrRoboto in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for me, i think it was just the right time as i was starting to wake up on other fronts as well (anyone who had went through these will know what i mean).

  but it started when i was looking for what info goes on a publisher card, which led to me reading one person's story (ex bethelite) which was pretty crazy to an all-in jw but who trusts those apostates...?.

  then i started watching videos on cults, as if my subconscious was trying to tell my concord mind something... when i saw a particular one about a young man in lds getting ready to start their 2 year preaching campaign, including a school, social activities etc, i realized that i couldn't tell the difference between the folks of this mormon cult and the jws (save for some religious differences) .

  It was a lot of little things but I would say the turning point was the 2013 WT with the now infamous quote. I was doing the mics and I looked around at everybody and they were answering like it was normal. Then I was wondering just why the article was written to begin with, the biblical basis for the article was very shaky. It seemed to have been written for the sole purpose of introducing that quote. After that I began to read WT publications very differently.

  Who is benefiting from Watchtower Corporation financially

  by John Davis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  who do you believe is financially benefiting from watchtower business dealings.

  i know about the gold apple watch, but that is only a small percentage of the billions that they have.

  so who do you think is keeping all of this money.

  Jw rouge they didn't spend much on mags all free labour, last mags I seen only had 4 sheets of paper folded in half with writing both sides , 16 pages of fairytales aren't going to break w bank

  Yes, but this has been going on for thirty years that is a long time to be bleeding money. Plus, I believe they want a large portion to simply store away and extract the interest like a endowment of sorts. This is to offset any downturns in donations. They will not tell the congregations this because people will stop donating.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watchtower october 2017, page 11, par.

  17 - confess and abandon secret sins.

  some christians who have committed a serious sin try to cover it over in order to avoid embarrassing themselves or disappointing others.

  "We love you, confess and all will be better," they say. However, remember this:

  Since I recently started using tumblr, I have found many pages dedicated to hot women/girls, I like when a girl is sexy but has a cute vibe going on.

  In answer to the OP's question, I found it necessary to rediscover the person that I had been before the Watchtower madness took hold, then move on from there.

  This is hard for me because I was never anybody else, I was raised on this stuff. Even though at times I didn't really believe it I always let it define me. I know doing my own thing will hurt others. It isn't rational but it will hurt them, they'll feel like I'm betraying them. I know that's not true but it won't matter, they are thoroughly controlled
