When Watchtowerites openly state that they're looking forward to Armageddon killing people that is the same as sanctioning their murder.

I was on facebook snooping on a former "friend" still stuck in the cult and he recently posted the following:
" Yeah I was looking at them [kids lighting firecrackers] out my window last night. I was thinking, these people are so ignorant. Also too ever notice how 95% of kids these days don't even know how to dress or look..... I can't wait for this system to end."
Translation: I can't wait until God murders these adolescents in cold blood so that I won't have to listen to them behave like kids anymore. I think even in my worst Watchtower mindset that this comment would have disturbed me. Really? You can say such a thing? Sadly, this is very typical. The big A will solve everything. Let's cheer God on to kill billions.
His post was met with agreement and the next person went off about the different looks people have today [anything other than the Watchtower clone appearance] and how "dark" and "evil" it all is.
I think now being out of the cult for a while just has woken me up to how crazy this thinking is. It is sick, sick, sick.

I honestly don't know how you can stomach not only reading but analyzing these articles each week. I take my hat off to you!
Once again you hit upon a key point: the name "Jehovah" does not appear in the New Testament. It was only added later by the Watchtower in a blatant display of sectarian bias. If that name was so important, I think God could manage to have it appear throughout the Bible. Watchtowerites can't say a single sentence without including it at least twice but NT writers composed whole books without mentioning it once. If a Watchtowerite were to give a talk and not mention that name, they could be questioned for apostasy.

July 15th WT out - Coming out Swinging at Apostates Hard
by LostGeneration inthis is one of the most aggressive watchtowers i think i have ever read.. four study articles on not "following the crowd" not following unrealities(page 13) not following false teachers, meaning apostates of course(p 15).
avoiding false teachers means "refusing to read their literature, watch tv programs that feature them, examine their web sites, or add comments to their blogs.
(para 7, pg 16).

How Old Were You When You First Became "Aware" ...
by snowbird in... of the opposite sex?.
it was the summer of 1966; i was a few months shy of being 13; it happened on our church ground.. i was hurrying between two vehicles to get into the building, when someone blocked my way.. annoyed, i looked up to find this cute, cute guy looking at me appreciatively.. he asked my name.. i froze and blushed profusely, agitated and confused at the tingling feeling in my tummy.. i didn't bother to answer him, but turned in the opposite direction and rushed into the safety of the church.. i sat down beside my mother, took her fan and fanned myself furiously!.
afterwards, i told an older sister about the incident.. she gave me an envious stare and chided me for being so doggone shy.. ah, memories .... syl.

I was 10 when I first started to really notice girls and had my first crushes. I wouldn't kiss my first until I was 19 though due to JW rules and superstrict parents.

"Overlapping generations" and silent movies
by sir82 ini'm a big fan of tcm, the cable channel that shows old movies without commercial interruption.. last night they showed "the birth of a nation", the famous (infamous?
) dw griffith silent classic that defends the ku klux klan.. the movie was made in 1915 - 96 years ago.. as i was watching it, it occurred to me, "all these actors are now dead.
most have been dead for 50, 60, 70 or more years.

You're totally right to bring this up again. I've been out of the Watchtower for over 5 years and this still angers me. It is absolutely insane that they could publish something so absurd AND still have a membership. It's scary actually. It speaks to the powerful hold a cult has on its adherents.

You know, I'm very anti-Watchtower especially since the koolaid generation change last year but I have to say this is on the whole a good article. I don't like paragraph 19 so much because I don't think prayers can be proven to be answered but I agree with much of the logic of the rest of it. Of course, I don't believe in macro-evolution so that's a big part of the reason I think this is a good article.

Has anyone left still believing it was the truth?
by FollowedMyHeart init seems that most xjws have left because at one point in their jw life something happened that made them start to think something wasn't right with the religion.
when i left, i still believed the jws had "the truth".
i was dying inside, trapped and unhappy (another poster's words, but describes exactly how i felt).

I left for a mixture of reasons. I believed (and still do to some extent) e-watchman's interpretation that the Watchtower was used by God but then became corrupt and will reap his punishment.
I also left because I could not live such a lifestyle loaded with guilt and feeling constantly depressed and never able to measure up.
I have attended the Memorial each year but this will be my first not going. The new koolaid overlapping generation bullshit sealed in my mind that I want nothing to do with the Watchtower again.

When that incident came to light, it did have a strong effect on me. It was one more nail in the coffin.
