33RIP dad, who introduced me to this fairytail of everlastin life and paradise :(
by Frezia inless than 5 hours ago my great dad fell asleep the last time :( still in a bit of a shock and sad that i will not see him again...i promised myself that once he is here no more, i will somehow make my move out of this organisation who kept us all captive believing in a fantasy of an everlasting life :( i am in a tricky situation, since raised as jw, still in, married to an active jw, and pretty sure that all in my social and family circle will turn their backs on me if i finally say goodbye to a fairytail ;(.

When you were fully in, would you lie about how loving your congregation was?
by TTWSYF innot long ago my elder brother got very sick.
he was hospitalized for a few weeks and his jw wife and children were at his side often.
also, his non jw family was also bedside with him, siblings and parents.. his recollection involves asking us "don't you remember all the jws that came visiting me when i was sick?".

Neither I nor any other [non JW] family members saw even 1 JW come visiting. Is this the norm?
I mean, drop off a meatloaf, or ask if you could help in any capacity at all. But, no,,,nothing My brother has a revisionist recollection of history.
Much like the Watchtower's..although, I didn't tell him that.. lol

Farewell
by WITNESS-FOR-WATCHTOWER-REFORM indue to unforeseen circumstances, i need to say goodbye.
proverbs 14:16 nlt.
i have every faith that the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will bring about needed change very soon given the continuous pressure they face.

Witness for Watchtower Reform
Have you thought about starting your own religion? That's what people do when they think they know better.
That's what the Judge did.
30,000 Christian religions started by men who knew better
1 started by the Christ

Can GB be guilty of sinning against Holy Spirit
by Chook inthe crime is ,condoning the removal of and shunning of jw children ,who when older want to express freedom of religion and attend another church.

May 22 1969 Awake!
by zeb in"if you are a young person you need to face the fact you will never grow old in this system of things.. why not?
because all the evidence in fulfilment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years...as a young person you will never fulfil any career that this system offers".
may 22 awake!

Thanks for those pages Dark!
Just a heads up that older Watchtowers are considered apostate material when someone notes that the org was/is in error.
Can you imagine that?

And what about changing the scriptures to fit what they want to believe? That's gotta be a sin against the Holy Spirit.

I think it is a sin against the Holy Ghost and God in general when they baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and God's organization.
Sorry, but according to the bible, that's not a valid baptism...

What's Is The Goal Of This Religion?
by pale.emperor inwhat's is the goal of this religion?.
i mean, if it's for money they could do a lot more like other religions do: tithing, paying for prayers from the gb, selling "miracles", selling "blessed" items, selling courses.. if its for power then what are they hoping to do with that power?
they dont seem to do anything.

To me the goal is more control over more membership. That's why there's always the urgency to join now before it's too late. It's always been a membership drive in my estimation.
just saying

When you were fully in, did you believe that you would not die?
by TTWSYF ini know that it must seem silly to ask, but my brother and his family think that the big a will arrive before they die.
i tried to explain to my brother that everyone else who has ever lived in the past has died and only jesus has [physically] rose from the dead.. it is amazing that anyone could buy that line.
what crazy cult culture that could make people believe such nonsense?!.
